winnie - you know what, I reckon they all have a script.

He can just fuck off. I've decided.

thesouthsbelle · 11/08/2009 18:49

janos sounds like he wants to make you either way he's a twat.

oh and yes to karma - after all XH has done, his bit of fluff walked out on him, he's broken his foot and also got a chest infection in the space of 3 months - the later 2 being at the same time karma rules!

Janos · 11/08/2009 20:41

You lot are lovely and making me

Underneath all the tough talk I'm actually feeling really hurt and sad and not a little cross with myself.

You know, I think there was/is definitely unfinished business and actually being friends in this situation is just too upsetting

Remotew · 11/08/2009 21:09

He's keeping his options open, which doesn't help you if you still have feelings for him.

Janos · 11/08/2009 21:28

No eve you're right and I'm going to tell him, sorry but no more contact. I thought we could be friends but thats not going to work.

asbm - very happy things still going fab for you

electra · 12/08/2009 17:02

Hi everyone - what do you all think about new guys you meet asking loads of questions? Is this acceptable, do you think?

ridingjoker · 12/08/2009 17:40

what kind of questions electra?

Remotew · 12/08/2009 17:52

I had a guy on POF start asking me questions as though I was being interviewed. e.g what is the best thing that ever happened to you and a couple of others, so I stopped talking to him. Never met him though. Is that what you mean? If it's someone you met and he is just interested in your life then no problems if it's the former I find it weird.

ASBM glad it's still going strong, how long has it been now?

Janos · 12/08/2009 18:42

Hey asbm glad things are still going great fro you

I'm much improved after yesterdays bad feeling, nothing keeps me down for too long. haven't said anything to exbf yet. Just leaving it.

Hi electra - I've had the asking lots of questions things too. Sometimes I don't mind it, sometimes I do. If it makes you feel uncomfortable I would say don't do it. And if the questions get a bit dodgy then feel free to ignore.

rj - how's things with beach bum?

ridingjoker · 12/08/2009 19:12

janos ... would you believe it..... he's another workaholic.... but going well as far as i know. lol. which is not alot i think these days. haha.

not seen him since sunday. but i must crack on with studying as new course arrives next week and still got final assessment of last one only half done. thinking of not going to the hen wkd this wkd for several reasons
a)can think of better things to spend my cash on than getting drunk
b)must finish course if not already done by then
c)i really really fancy a night in with a dvd and just myself. peace quiet and left alone to watch some crappy rom coms, some wine and not worry about dealing with kids at 5.30am with a hangover.

after being couped up with dc for weeks on end.. the thought that ex is taking them off my hands hopefully on sat just makes me want to lock the door and hide in peace. really not feeling up to any social hi jinx tbh. just really needing some "me time" before i crack up.

Remotew · 12/08/2009 19:14

RJ sounds like a good plan, nothing I like more that shutting myself away with a bottle of wine and my own company.

ridingjoker · 12/08/2009 19:28

well... i know there going to be pissed off i never went. but i would be in a foul mood as i didn't want to be there. plus the rest are all going for whole wkd, having a spa day and various other treats planned. i simply cant afford it. and cant get a sitter. so i also have to travel up to dundee and back myself on the sunday with a stonking hangover. i didn't mind driving it to meet that date. but with a hangover is a different matter. ... plus my car isn't well. problem with the front wheels when going over 80 mph. so it would take me an extra half hr to last time i drove it as would stick to around 60-70mph driving up there.

electra · 12/08/2009 19:44

Hello, wrt the quesions I mean things like wanting to see pictures of the children and questions about whether I have a 'type' that I go for?

electra · 12/08/2009 19:45

PS POF seems to be used by almost everyone but I think it is a pretty scary site!!

Remotew · 12/08/2009 19:45

Have you met him yet or is it internet dating. He shouldn't be asking to see picture of the children!

winnie09 · 12/08/2009 20:10

Pictures of children I am sorry that is wrong.

Rj, glad things are going well

Janos, glad you have a new perspective.

I have not followed up on the date planned for tomorrow. When we discussed where it was less of a discussion and he said 'his place'

Everything has gone quiet. Def scared sweetguy away

On Sunday I told mrverycynical that we should meet or stop texting and I didn't hear from him ... until today! I am not responding as I can't be ared. I maybe bored but I am not that* bored.

electra, I agree that POF can seem pretty scary. I think you have to be philosophical about it.

I am bored though and exhausted and

ridingjoker · 12/08/2009 20:47

electra - if you look at past few pages. we've recently listed our dates from there. there are a few weird but a whole lot more wonderful... incidently my only weirdo was the guy i met in RL!!

asking to see photo's of your kids is wrong block block block.lol

Janos · 12/08/2009 20:49

I agree there is def something off about a man asking to see pics of your children, unless of course it's something that comes up naturally in convo. I mean, why ask?

And winnie... a date as his place...um yeah right, wonder what he has in mind?

POF can be a bit overwhelming and you get swamped with attention sometimes. If I'm not in the mood it can all feel a bit much.

Janos · 12/08/2009 20:55

Oh, I also had exbf asking me what was wrong and had he upset me because I mentioned on FB I was feeling down, wanting to talk about it. Aaaarrgh, no no no!

Gave the old 'it's not you it's me' line which thankfully appears to have put him off.

All very adolescent I know. And me in my 30s. LOL

lou33 · 12/08/2009 23:00

no use the title of lily allen's album on him

it's not me it's YOU

OP posts:
electra · 13/08/2009 00:56

Well, somehow he is different from the usual men on POF as I know of him from years ago and he dated two girls that I know from school...still a bit odd though?

You know what I find hilarious about POF? Those fuzzy photos of men OR only one photo that shows profile only OR a photo of them which is actually a tiny speck in the distance.

And the worst thing of all? Some guy you have a quick MSN chat with, who then practically suggests you should move in together !!!!!

inthemistsoftime · 13/08/2009 10:17

morning all, just marking my spot

winnie09 · 13/08/2009 10:31

Internet dating can be hilarious: pictures of men with their children ? Men with their cars men with their dogs men stripped off & photo's where someone else is very obviously cut out (usually dressed up in wedding gear)
