was it email convo's where you were "chatting" for a period and saying goodnight at the end?

or email tennis where there can be several hours or even days between responses?

lou33 · 08/07/2009 20:25

oh blimey darkhorse just asked me on msn about going geocaching with the kids one weekend

ridingjoker · 08/07/2009 20:44

lou - i take it mandolin has met kids? has he any of his own?

sparkybint · 08/07/2009 20:48

Hi Louloves, I can so relate to what you say. Am back online a month after splitting with fuckwit so-called fiance and getting back in the swing of things.

But it is weird...am talking with about 5 guys at the moment but one who I'd exchanged a few really nice long emails with has just disappeared. And of course he's been online so he's obviously decided not to take it any further. He was even talking about meeting up!
I don't mind but it just seems, well rude....

I suppose you just have to take nothing personally and move on to the next lot. If you've got the stamina...

lou33 · 08/07/2009 20:51

best way is to definitely not take it personally

i always assume men are saying the same thing to many women, and will take up on whoever comes through first

yes he has met kids, albeit a lot sooner than planned, but i think if you dont make a big deal about it then there should be no stress invovled

and no he doesnt have kids himself

aseriouslyblondemoment · 09/07/2009 09:59

morning all!
darkhorse??!
am imagining your response here lou

lou33 · 09/07/2009 10:31

aseriouslyblondemoment · 09/07/2009 10:35

lol
i'm amazed that he thinks he can just flit in and out of your lives like this
wonder if mm would be into it?
have meant to mention it to am as it would be his kind of thing too

lou33 · 09/07/2009 11:24

he just wants to stay friends he says

LouLovesAeroplaneJelly · 09/07/2009 12:23

Morning, well afternoon.

Well I got distracted last night and never replied so sorry about that.

We were chatting on and off during the day when he was not working and if her was then emails twice a day or so.
Oh well never mind. Having drinks on Sunday with the PE teacher so that makes up for it I guess

ridingjoker · 09/07/2009 13:48

llaj, who sent last message? him or you? if you has he just not replied? was there anything specifically for him to reply to?

well... i've just booked myself in for a beginner course in rock climbing on sunday. woo hoo. been itching to try for ages.

lou - this friends?? or friends with benefits?

lou33 · 09/07/2009 13:58

well i dont know but he certainly wont be getting the latter

sincitylover · 09/07/2009 19:57

omg everthing a bit uuugh here

samename's bday - but can't see him he's going out with some of his family and friends but couldn't go even if wanted to. Prob not able to see him for about another ten days. He sort of sidestepped a casual invite to something I' m going to this weekend with friends and dcs. Wondering if he really was that keen he would have jumped at the chance.

Work hubby is being made redundant. He's gutted and so am I.

exbf is going through another incommunicado spell - has been ill, am sure he's back at work. for some reason I am feeling v frustrated that can't get hold of him. Am even wondering if he's blocked me - is it possible to do that re texts?

exh gave me grief - went out for abt one hour after work with other redeployed colleagues and workhubby. Ringing me hassling me (exh that is). His need to get away was paramount of course.

Just wondering if anything will ever go smoothly again.

Sorry for rant.

sincitylover · 09/07/2009 19:58

lou - darkhorse seems to be a bit clueless from what you have said.

lou33 · 09/07/2009 20:15

it does doesnt it

ridingjoker · 09/07/2009 20:26

SCL - poor you. bad week eh?

exh still being usual self. exbf - you've been here before with not hearing from him though haven't you?

samename - do you think it was the idea of meeting dc that made him sidestep? or is it possible he's not ready for any sort of social gathering with your friends yet? is he a bit anti-social in general?

sincitylover · 09/07/2009 20:39

well it was ok until today LOL

I only mentioned the event in passing to samename so not sure really.

I think we are both a bit laid back with each other. He has met some workmates before and is quite sociable. But local friends and dcs all in one hit might be difficult and I think I might be on edge.

exbf hasn't blocked me (that's jsut my paranoia) his phone is switched off.

how are things with you and your cybermen?

ridingjoker · 09/07/2009 20:48

cocktail and marvel seem to have given up. to my relief.

goldust on hols.

other hanging around.

pirate i have blocked.

bigT been on text all day. and msn. on his initiative. have noticed he hasn't been online for few days (shouldn't have checked but nose got better of me)

aseriouslyblondemoment · 10/07/2009 10:38

morning all!
scl-oh hideous!what a crap time of it all you're having.did you get samename a present?
have you mentioned him at all to your dcs yet?
llaj-good luck with your date

sincitylover · 10/07/2009 11:27

yes got him a cd he wanted - really sweet if bizarre choice for a guy of his age (think boyband).

DCs know of his existence. They think its cool he wears the new England shirt. Exh wouldn't be seen dead in any sportswear!!

More bad luck though rather stupid on my part - ds2 took his bike to school and forgot to get it (prob excited that exh picking him up) - it's gone!!

aseriouslyblondemoment · 10/07/2009 11:37

omg no!
all you need atm.
and yes 'the circus' is a fab cd have it in the car

sincitylover · 10/07/2009 11:46

well guessed asbm - I love 'em too esp Howard (who is also a serious house dj apparently) And think Shine is written about Robbie.

aseriouslyblondemoment · 10/07/2009 11:51

ohh i love jason

ridingjoker · 10/07/2009 12:17

lou33 · 10/07/2009 13:33
