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

OP posts:
Remotew · 19/09/2009 16:01

Glad you had a good time.

notevenamousie · 19/09/2009 16:18

Tell us more, lou.

And eve - I'm so disappointed for you. Did he say why?

lou33 · 19/09/2009 16:55

it was just all in all a really great time, dinner drinks, lots of talking, serious and lighthearted, we unintentionally bumped into 3 friends of mine (not all at once), and they got on like a house on fire

the time went really quickly and the hotel was lovely, albeit roasting hot

i got home about 12 today, and took a nap but i am still knackered

but in a good way

Yes an unplanned visit from his DD. Either that or he got cold feet, will see what happens tomorrow.

thesouthsbelle · 19/09/2009 17:32

well i'm still here awaiting the prodical mans's return! phmm] lol. he's already rung 3 times thou each time saying 'i'll ring u after' so it would seem each stage of the race/pub he's ringing. not expecting it to be this side of half 7 now.Bit disapointed as wanted to spend some proper time together but ho hum - there's other times/the night is still relativly young.

blondie - OMG no not going to do that at all, not for at least ooh a year! made that mistake with XP, not going there again. but am really into him thou.

lou - glad you had a nice date.

juicy - OMG i'm shocked! lol. he stayed over. How old are your children if i might ask? NS was falling asleep on me on weds ngiht but I kicked him out about 1am as if DS came in with me he'd see him there & not sure how that would sit with DS (he's 3.5)

mousie - don't be in any rush to do anything you're not happy with.

Also saw the deejay when was out earlier with my mum/nan.

good luck everyone else going on dates etc.

thesouthsbelle · 19/09/2009 17:33

eve benefit of the doubt I think tbh. They all deserve it once!

lou33 · 19/09/2009 17:41

OP posts:
thesouthsbelle · 19/09/2009 17:47

lou33 · 19/09/2009 20:40

i am tired now

but it was worth it

OP posts:
thesouthsbelle · 20/09/2009 11:19

you n me both - althou had a mishap last night, found somehting I shouldn't have, I got the arse a bit, but think it's all sorted out now. (was lube down by the side of his bed) he got reall defensive said there's no one else & it was old in his bathroom - beleive him or not??

lou33 · 20/09/2009 11:26

why shouldnt he have lube?

OP posts:
LouLovesAeroplaneJelly · 20/09/2009 11:43

Well had drinks with ..umm lets call him FlatCap (he is from Nth Yorkshire).
THREE! Three of his mates turned up. Talk about awkward. His friends were nice but why stay if you can see your mate is with a girl. He was very nice, wouldn't let me buy anything and apologised for his friends but still!!!

lou33 · 20/09/2009 11:52

three of my mates turned up on friday night at different times

he got on with them well, but they didnt stay long, and we also had the hotel room to retreat to, as i had to get ready for dinner

OP posts:
LouLovesAeroplaneJelly · 20/09/2009 11:55

They turned up about 4 minutes after we just said hello. Why stay the WHOLE time though???? I can understand if he was 19 and needed a wingman but he is 43 FFS

thesouthsbelle · 20/09/2009 11:55

said it was proper old from an ex who was into 'left field' type of stuff.

he was upset cos I looked upset, I was upset cos I thought that there was a few of us on the go at the time. then he got defensive then we talked n then we fell asleep which was nice.

thesouthsbelle · 20/09/2009 11:55

lou tbh think i'd have said i'll see you another time.

lou33 · 20/09/2009 12:02

i dont think having a bottle of lube means anything other than he has a bottle of lube tbh

i didnt say see you another time, it was all fine, in fact i left him for a few mins with one of them they got on like a house on fire

it wasnt the first time we had met remember, and we were staying overnight in one of the rooms, so 30 mins of conversation wasnt that much of a hardship

we turned down the offer of joining them for a night on the tiles tho

OP posts:
thesouthsbelle · 20/09/2009 15:24

sorry meant the other lou!

lou33 · 20/09/2009 15:34

oops sorry

if they stayed the whole time then it was a bit rude yes, but a few mins saying hi etc is ok

OP posts:
DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 20/09/2009 16:18

llaj - that was incredibly rude...personally i dont think i would go on a repeat date if something like that happened n first date....

unless you were really bowled over then you could make it clear 2nd date is only going to happen if just the 2 of you.

like lou says to meet someone in passing is fine... but for them 2 turn up the same time and then stay the whole night is not on.

i agree with lou on the lube ......thats shock at me agreeing with lou ..... not shock at the lube. some people use it just for mastarbation aswell as a multitude of other things in the bedroom. chances are if its beside his bed there's more chance he's using it for that..... your biggest worry should be if he has an anal fetish he's going to embark on with you (suppose that depends if you like that or not )..... or if he's bi-sexual as a friend of mine found out was the real use for the lube she found in an ex's house.

eve - so are you meeting today?

mouie - really am pleased you have managed to pick yourself up from your previous incident and move on to try again. it might not be same as before, it will take time to begin to enjoy it again.

south - ...... is gymboy late .. again... you have the patience of a saint.... i feel you should start enforcing a late punishment..... for every half hr he is late he must give you an orgasm in return.

anyone i've missed my apologies. i have only just finally managed to prise myself from irish to collect dc .

he was absolutely fab with staying over

south - ds is 3.7, dd is 2.2. my room is absolutely pitch black though from blackouts so even if ds did come in unawares he would actually be able to see anyone. i'm a light sleeper so i hear him opening his door i meet him at hall before he had the chance to enter my room. shut door over and left irish having lie in. dd has a gate on her door. so no worries about her catching us.

took kids to their dads at lunchtime and then went back and spent all my childfree time with irish as neither of us had anything to do. we didn't go to bed till 4am on the sat morning. so he was more than happy with being stuck "in hiding" upstairs, watching tv in my bed .... and getting breakfast in bed ..

but he repayed me with same in return this morning

beachbum text to say he was on first leg of his journey home.

lou33 · 20/09/2009 16:38

you agreed with me twice there rj, easy now, gossip will start about us

sounds like things are going v well with irish, does this mean bb is definitely on the back burner now?

OP posts:
DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 20/09/2009 16:53

not so much back burner. natural selection really?

irish is easier to meet... or rather fits his social life around what suits me and dc. BB has his schedule. i have mine, and if the 2 dont match we easily went up to 2 weeks without meeting.

Monty100 · 20/09/2009 16:55

Hello everybody!

I'm doing my best to keep up but I think I've missed the odd bit. Mousie I've missed what happened but putting two and two together??
