i think you should have told him you werent going to be about when he said he would catch you online, or he may well think you are just pissing about with him

what about emailing him and saying you werent around and you would like a chance to catch up and clear the air?

then ask for his number again!

im still thinking of what to call this guy ihad lunch with

lunchbox maybe?

anyway from the 70 texts i got on thurs it was down to abut 13 yesterday and a couple only today, but thats ok because he is away with friend and not back til monday sometime

he is still keeping in touch which i guess is a good sign

he still wants to see me again

not heard from the one i am meeting next week so far today, but he is away too, and he messaged me yesterday a few times

i think he may be a little bit too sweet and gentle for me

he said he would catch me "later on fri or sometime over wkd"

he knew i had a night out fri. and he has an all day and night thing today.

just going to sit tight. want it to be off his own back he contacts me again.

i like the name lunchbox.

think its good sign he's in touch while away.

lou33 · 29/08/2009 17:47

oh i see i thought he didnt know you were out and you had just ignored him!

yeh i take it as a good sign too

OP posts:
DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 29/08/2009 17:55

well... told him last wkd. so assumed he remembered. but i posted pics of last night on facebook already so he will have clicked by now i wasn't in and ignoring.

thesouthsbelle · 29/08/2009 19:35

winnie - could be anything, maybe he left his computer logged in? maybe he didn't want to appear like he had nothing on?

lou - yeah I like lunchbox as well, lets go with that one. deffo good signs they're stopping in touch if they're away.

have heard from gymboy today, been flirting outrageously on FB which has been good, don't know yet if he's out tonight, can't remember what was siad, but not gonna call thou, will prob talk to him tomorrow to confirm if it's tomorrow night/monday that we're gonna meet again, tomorrow prob works better for me as should be able to sweet talk mum into having DS for the night. but we shall see.

Only draw back is he's calling me hunny or hun at the mo. still small price I guess.

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 29/08/2009 19:59

south - i like some of the nicknames they use. but this is a long going part of this thread the names we like and dislike.

i actually have a great one.

there's an irish guy i'm taking to still from POF from the batch the beachbum and BigT came from.... he always calls me "toots" which is super cute i think.

i think there general vote is the name depends on the area and accent.

babe sounds nice with scottish accent... but brummie "bab" is horrid aparently.

but i think most of us dislike "sexy" the worst if its someone your very new to seeing.

lou33 · 29/08/2009 22:11

oh i really dont like being called hun or babe

i also find myself unable to bite my tongue about it, so they find out pretty quickly

lunchbox has been in touch about half a dozen times by text today

nothing from next weeks date

OP posts:
lou33 · 29/08/2009 23:55

just had a text messaging session with lunchbox, he has stated v clearly that he wants to see me again

OP posts:
DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 30/08/2009 07:55

at lou.

thesouthsbelle · 30/08/2009 09:11

lou embarrassed my god what did the man say? lol.

think the honny thing i'll let go but am not keen on hun. I call him sweetie.

meant to be seeing him tonight, last night he rang at 10 when he left his mate, had a few texts during the night about the footie scores - now i've just got to hope & pray my team wins today otherwise he'll be unbearable tonight! lol. (althou his team lost y'day, naturally I had to gloat a little - but not as much as he will be doing!)

RJ - see I think it depends on who's saying sexy gymboy sounds quite cute & flattering with it, but XP used to say it with glee in his eyes and tbh I used to cringe even after a year! any news from your end?

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 30/08/2009 09:37

nope. not heard from him since fri... a whole day... omg... only joking this end. we easily go a day without contact at the wkds.

i say things like darling and handsome... but thats backlash of spending a few years in sales.... you cant ever quite shake some of those habits you pick up .

and yes lou - what did he say exactly to mak you blush

thesouthsbelle · 30/08/2009 10:32

rj. fingers crossed u hear from him today.

can I safely assume then that gymboy likes me after all after ringing y'day. he seems to prefer calls to texts.

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 30/08/2009 10:41

yes. i'd assume he does too.

thesouthsbelle · 30/08/2009 10:45

lou33 · 30/08/2009 13:16

i'm not really embarrassed i like it

i just cant tell you what he said

OP posts:
ninah · 30/08/2009 14:03

hi all
lol at sales rj, my ex calls everyone darling but mainly to avoid having to remember names
bf calls me sexy and gorgeous which feels a bit incongruous
he is 7.5 this weekend maybe 8

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 30/08/2009 15:40

wayhoooo at ninah bf gaining points out of ten.

i have now logged on msn and unblocked beachbum now i'm home. just have to wait now...... patiently.

Janos · 30/08/2009 17:01

Hello you lovely lot. Things seem pretty lively on the man front round here! That's good

I've been on a second date with a very nice man who I wasn't sure about to start with but is growing on me. I'll call him "The Chef" as he likes to cook! (always a bonus). He is very easy to talk to and actually listens. That has to be good, I think.

There are a couple of others bubbling under. Not that I'm some sort of femme fatale you understand (as if, too low maintenance for a start) but I can't be arsed putting on an act and call them on any shitty behaviour - somehow they seem to like that. No idea why.

Talking of names...I can't bear hun or babe either and like you lou have to let them know! I just say, don't call me that, how about this. Don't actually mind being called sexy or gorgeous at all though.

Janos · 30/08/2009 17:05

Ooh rj just read back. Who's the Irish guy you're talking to, and where's he from (obv Ireland, but where is he now I mean?)

And sorry lou but at the thought of ANYONE making you blush!

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 30/08/2009 17:18

i think.... was yonks ago first talking... so from memory its falkirk.

not constant talk. one of these types where we send the odd message enquiring how each other is every week or so.

your not talking to him too are you , lol... us being so near its bound to happen at some point. lol.

Janos · 30/08/2009 17:27

Ha ha noo, I was just curious to see if it was CM is all! But it doesn't sound like it's him.

I must admit to a certain fondness for the auld Irish

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 30/08/2009 17:41

haha, mee too.

thesouthsbelle · 30/08/2009 18:47

ypu heard anything yet juicy??

ahy I find it lou blushing as well lol.

janos - do we think the chef has potential then?

ninah - glad all sounds good your end with BF.

have just arranged a date or 'catch up' as he calls it??! with gymboy for tomorrow night. i'm boyless woohoo, so after i've been to combat off to meet him. possibly the shoot some pool not sure yet - what is a 4th date all about? with XP he just used to come to mine only. lol.

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 30/08/2009 19:09

no

dates are good. your in house with dc enough so great your getting out.

thesouthsbelle · 30/08/2009 19:13

but do we class a 'catch up' as a date? he seems to like calls as I say, said earlier 'i'm goin out with my mate for a meal, so will prob call you when I get back' but I said na don't worry will just talk to u tomorrow. do blokes go to mates houses for meals?? thought that was a girlie thing lol.

hang tight girl you'll hear i'm sure. if not email him tomorrow.
