Lou and rj and Janos and belle
It all sounds good to me, I am hoping so for you.

Still have the two interesting men, both texting me from Eastern Europe, one on holiday - musicman - (texts every few days) and one working - the trekker - (texts and e-mails both days)... need to find a babysitter soon but how? And my ex is being a complete pain as usual and I start my new job on Wednesday. That's about it here!

notevenamousie · 30/08/2009 19:31

I meant ninah, not rj for the - and rj I guess the nail biting has proved to you how you fell, no, which it sounds like you needed?

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 30/08/2009 19:43

my bro thinks its possible he's making me stew. says there's a good chance coz i wasn't online on fri night.. he's going to leave it right up till last thing tonight to come online. see if i wait about... and stewing in the sense that i think about what i've done and dont pull the commitment phobia stunt again as he wont entertain it.

or... he just thinks i'm way too much work and would rather find a more mentally stable phobia free female.

lou33 · 30/08/2009 19:44

he is still messaging me

also heard from musoguy too, he is away and in a studio laying down tracks

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 30/08/2009 19:50

lou - i had image of laying rail tracks.

lou33 · 30/08/2009 20:30

blimey i hope he isnt into miniature railways

OP posts:
Remotew · 31/08/2009 00:27

lol at Lou finding an anorak. Hope you enjoy his tracks.

lou33 · 31/08/2009 01:18

you all know i mean he is recording music in a studio dont you?

lunchbox has been in touch a fair bit again today

not sure when i can meet up with him next but the build up is fun

thesouthsbelle · 31/08/2009 08:05

mousie - what job is that doing?

juicy - did you hear from him?

lou lol. yes we realised!! fingers crossed eh.

was thinking should i bring it up casually if gymboy has been on any other dates since we first met - good idea or bad? prob bad.

also am reading a new book - women who over think. seems to actually make a lot of sense!!

really looking forward to seeing gymboy tonight - trying not to get too appear too keen to him thou,

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 31/08/2009 09:28

[blus] i'm very naughty. turned my comp off to watch sahara last night. tsk tsk.

caught up with beachbum this morning on msn. told him quick hi before i head out for the day. he says we've still to have our "chat"

FFS why do we need to have a chat. lets just have a good bonk and forget about a serious chat style thing.

i hate these "chats" or "talks"

what the heck can it be.... it's NEVER what you expect.

south - oooh your seeing a decent amount of gym boy now.i wouldn't ask if he's been on other dates. what can be gained from it?

thesouthsbelle · 31/08/2009 09:35

I know it's my over active imagination really, am curious, but also aware that i'm trying to sabotage it already but looking for reasons to not like him, get in a huff & then blame him for being a twat, but deep down I know he's not a twat, and is actually a v lovely bloke - (did a bit of poking baout last night as well finally - he's told me his family have a charter boat - erm yes well that's a bit of an understatement!!!) not the reason I like him thou.

indeed why need a chat?? a good bonk would be in order - how long have you been seeing beachbum? perhaps he just want to know what make you mad with him?

winnie09 · 31/08/2009 10:28

I still can't keep up! lol.

Rj, good luck with beachbum and the chat.
Belle, I don't think you should ask that question either. it sounds like its going ok how would it help? belle, I think I need that book! WHat is is called?
Lou, you sound happier and as if you have a lot of attention at the moment. Good for you
notevenamousie, get that babysitter soon I do get free time because ds is with ex half of the time but do you know because my social life has exploded since I finally moved on from ex I still don't have enough free time Infact I am struggling to fit in two dates that are on the horizon It has been pointed out to me that maybe I don't have space in my life for a man (by thepianist) but I'd find space for the right man.
Have finally spoken to thepianist which was ok but I think he was suprised I wasn't the bolshy, fiesty woman he has come to know via messaging. Had a major wobbly in my own head after that. We are 'talking' everyday and texting & it all seems a bit too much before we have actually met
I am still waiting for a reply from trekker but he hasn't read my reply to his invite so I am guessing he is away this weekend.

thesouthsbelle · 31/08/2009 10:37

i'm reading it winnie, it's called 'women who over think' lol.

have just spoken to gymboy, he's picking me up at 8, all v laid back - have to remember he's not a local (ie wants everything done y'day) but a welshman who likes to take his time - ie from memory when living there 3 months to actually plan and do anything still proper date tonight!!

go winnie - good luck with them both. x

lou33 · 31/08/2009 11:29

he makes me wear my naughty face, but i am not seeing it as anything long term

rj he probably just wants to talk about what happened

OP posts:
ninah · 31/08/2009 11:44

sounding good - it's raining men on here right now
lol at lou and the railways
rj have the talk, you need to explain how you feel, bonking is all very well but you really should do this (as well) agree with lou, he just wants to find out what's going on with you atm
mousie do you have friends with teenage children who could babysit? this works well for me
winnie, sounds like a meet up in order soon
and janos, all good for you ..
yup, mn bf def promoted this weekend

ninah · 31/08/2009 11:44

have a good one south

lou33 · 31/08/2009 13:52

looks like i am going to see lunchbox this evening for a late dinner

OP posts:
Remotew · 31/08/2009 14:14

I'm sat here watching crap tv still in my PJ's, sending DD down the road to greggs for some lunch, how lazy is that?

Meeting my American friend for a coffee tomorrow morning. I just cannot see anything other than a coffee date.

Hadn't had messages off anyone remotely interesting. Was in touch with a nice one recently but it dried up, he's always online so I might ask how it's going.

Have a nice time tonight Lou and anyone else who has dates.

lou33 · 31/08/2009 14:19

i plan to

Janos · 31/08/2009 16:07

eve you made me feel a bit better as I am mithering round on here while DS plays on PS2. We've been out but tbh I could easily have spent today in pjs!

rj - I too reckon beachbum just wants to chat about what happened. And it's a sign that he liked you. Is this freaking you out a bit do you think (I had big freak out last weekend).

ninah - at your marks out of 10.

lou - enjoy your late dinner with lunchbox!

dollparts - sounds promising. And a good sign that he is nothing like your XH.

mousie - yes def get a babysitter!

Sorry if I've missed anyone out.

The Chef is looking promising...deinitely a grower (the more I see him the more I like him) although he's not up to nm status yet though. The Pervy doc has also popped up plus a couple of request from FBs which I've turned down because..well..not that they aren't/weren't fun but I'm sick of that now really.

lou33 · 31/08/2009 16:22

i've slobbed about in joggers and a t shirt as well, even went to get petrol and bin bags in them

OP posts:
Janos · 31/08/2009 17:13

You filther lou! LOL.

I am being tremedously lazy, ignoring housework/dishes etc in favour of MN and playing PS2 with DS.

I am SLATTERN.

Remotew · 31/08/2009 17:42

Well I've just got dressed because I have to go to the shop in a mo. Just waiting for the rain to ease.

Been messaging a guy off POF all afternoon. He looks nice but has not suggested we meet up! What's that all about? It's the one I was in touch with a while ago and only lives about 40 mins away. I'm so bored I would happily drive half way tonight if he wanted to but I will wait to be asked.

thesouthsbelle · 31/08/2009 17:49

ok, paranoid android emotion here,

after arranging meeting with gymboy this am, sent a text at lunch saying was looking forward to it (nada back) have just rung & he diverted it to voicemail. Give it to me straight......

can't believe some of you guys have only just got dressed!!! lol.

anyhow good luck janos with the chef.

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 31/08/2009 18:03

south - chiiiiiiiilll.. if you are arranged to meet then you shall meet. what time you supposed to meet?

this isn't a first date.

i must admit. this kinda bugs me. beachbum does this on days we are supposed to me. if we're not meeting i get 1 or 2 messages a day. on the days we are to meet. he confirms time, place and date about 6 times

calm down woman. how much longer before you meet does he have to confirm.i understand you want him to confirm.

but he's never stood you up before so gotta assume he will confirm right up until last moment.

and he might still be at work or in meeting and not able to answer your call.
