Where have all the fit and interesting men gone part TWELVE

[lou33]

starts here

why would you bin off gymboy before asking about it?

he may well just have been checking mail or hiding a profile or something, talk to him before you dump him

Bloody hell Lou, yes, you will have to spruce up before dinner.

Oh, bye bye bold!

lou

I'm feeling a bit worn out today. All the worry over money and XP has got me in a low fettle. Supposed to be going out with some work mates tomorrow and all I can think of is how much it's going to COST.

awww the bold has gone - not to worry!

agree Lou think you should take a few changes of clothes.

yeah he does juicy - even if we're meant to meet at 8 and it's 5 to he rings me! lol. Irish sounds interesting.

eve - good luck for the weekend.

only had 2 messages today ho hum, not to worry.

wonder if XH will bother his bum to come down this weekend, realy don't have the energy to fight him anymore, but I think we're gonna be having more and more of the 'i'm on duty' this week so can't see DS wouldn't mind but he's quick enough to make time to go n see O'W' so why can't he see his son/tell her the boy comes first??

talking of which a 'girl' in work has said she's seeing a married man - am I unreasonable to want to ring his wife up and tell her even thou she has a toddler and is 7 months PG?? work girl is crowing and it's really doing my head in!

janos - are you able to do some cost saving measures before you go out or is it a set meal thing?

It's a set meal thingy southsbelle.

I've already paid and someone else is covering drinks so perhaps I should be counting my blessings. I'm just not in a 'jolly' works outing frame of mind.

Think I'll stay as long as is polite and then sneak off.

Tell you what, my XP is a sneaky sneaky bastard. Why did I bother believing he would do the decent thing, even for a second? He never has before.

set meal sounds good janos. maybe you will feel better once you get there.

belle - 2 messages is better than nothing.lol.

agree with juicy on that front.

I don't mind he's just rung as well. I've agreed for 'quality' time on the weekend lol, to 'catch up' (his words lol) I don't mind it's all good, least i can study tonight in peace - well once DS is asleep! How's your study going Juicy?

a few changes of clothes?!!

aside from what i turn up in, an outfit for dinner and something to go home in the next day will do surely?

well I usually like to take a couple of options just in case

nope i take something like trousers with a dress up top for night and a casual top for reutrn.

study.. em.. should be doing some just now. but cant be arsed tonight tbh. but i better as no time over wkd. supposed to be spending childfree time with irish, from drop off through till just before i collect them.

but i like to travel light

i took a bloody 24 x 18 inch backpack with me as my luggage to thailand for a month lol

alright for some!

X has just rung he'll be here from tomorrow night until early sunday am (as in 8am!) still at least I can spend sat avo/evening with NS - might suggest tomorrow night as well but not 100% yet, might just say to meet in the steam rooms at the gym for a change.

(god I take a back pack for a weekend at my mothers - where half of my clothes live still! )

Spoken to the trekker tonight - he seems really nice (cycle? breaking it? how???)
and he is coming over tomorrow night once dd is in bed. I can't wait, can't decide yet what to cook but I hope something suitably impressive. If he comes here for dinner, do you think he'll assume things re: sex, etc? I am really not ready, maybe I should just explain why - I find it hard to cope with pity though...

mousie - he shouldn't assume. but dont be afraid to tell him that nothing but food is on the menu.

then you wont get a guilt trip if he tries it on and you say no.

just tell him straight and all will be fine.

dont be too jealous i havent been away for a few years now!

lb is finishing up at work and on his way home soon he says (working late so he can leave earlier tomorrow)

Evening all

Well I am back. Decided to ignore the whole online thing for a while as nothing was happening. I wonder now if I am jinxing myself by coming back .
Anyhoo, I hope everyone is well. I am too lazy to read though the past 3000 posts.
Not much is happening. I am emailing two and meeting one for drinks on Saturday night!!!

i am not on any dating sites now

right i am off to pack my bag and go to bed, i am shattered

have fun everyone if i dont post tomorrow

welcome back jelly.

I'm like lou not on any - have a profile on 2 but they're inactive/hidden.

agree mousie, he shouldn't be assuming anything of the sort. it's up to you when you chose to tell him what's happened in your past, do you feel you know him comfortable enough?

well am a happy bunny had a 20 min call last night from NS & been flirting outragously on FB chat this am, so going to work a v happy bunny.

woot woot it's friday!

Have a good time Lou.

So now that I am back in the deep end, a guy (who needs a nickname) who I was having drinks with tomorrow night has just asked if an old friend of his, who has turned up for the weekend, can join us for dinner afterwards . Does he need his wingman the whole time? Not sure what to do here.

LLAJ - Maybe he feels he can't go out while his friend is here - I'd be suggesting that he postpone the dinner until he can come on his own. If you'd known him a long time, that'd be different, but not a first meeting.

lou - have a really lovely time!!

I am looking forward to tonight too - have decided what to cook and have decided to tell him if it comes up, which might or might not be tonight. I am so tired - elements of new job are quite stressful, and full of a cold - so might be using my day off to sleep as well as tidy and bake.

RJ have you made your mind up yet?
lou enjoy
eve are you nervous/excited or indifferent?
mousie you must call the shots here,if he's decent he'll wait.have you decided what you're cooking yet?
llaj been wondering what you were up to,hmm is this man actually interested in a relationship or purely being mates?you can't exactly complain tho as you'll come across as a tad needy.if he's bringing his mate why not get one of the girls to come along with you?
