it won't accept any more messages ladies. As you can see I decided it was time to get less picky.
Lou, I hope you didn't leave your phillips

I have mentioned it, a few weeks back when I was thinking of ending it because I just felt it was going no where and didn't want to drag it out.

He apologised profusely for seeming distant blaming work (has a lot going on atm) and said he will do everything he can to make things better.

He just seems to have a strange concept of how things should be.

Course, it would be easier if I didn't really like him and when we are together it's lovely but I have much anxiety when we are not and it's a real bind.

omg hells sounds exactly like samename the nickname of a guy I was seeing till recently for about six months.

He is now dumped btw. Just no momentum there.

Whereabouts are you btw? (could it be the same person ?????) or just a certain type of man thing.

sincitylover · 02/11/2009 23:02

again he was lovely when we were together and once seemed upset when I talked about ending it but hmmm not much movement forwards and long gaps between meets. Quite consumed with domestic pursuits and very very stressed with work,

Not keen to meet my dcs either.

hellsbrokenloose · 02/11/2009 23:05

I'm in London, so am hoping you are not!

Take for instance tonight, he hasn't called and has probably gone to bed really early. I called him but no answer. It would not have ocurred to him to give me a quick ring before bed! I don't think he's a couldn't care less type but more oblivious if that makes sense?

He's sure to text me a good morning tomorrow though and will think nothing of not speaking to me tonight.

He's in his own little world I think.

sincitylover · 02/11/2009 23:08

OMG I so am - but London's a big place.

Give me some more details which might identify if you like.

hellsbrokenloose · 02/11/2009 23:08

yea, that's exactly what its like with me, only saturdays or sundays and the occasional midweek.

Gets stressed with work and he withdraws into his own world.

He has met dd once and they really got along well. He always asks about her which is nice.

sincitylover · 02/11/2009 23:10

what is his job? (worried emoticon)

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 02/11/2009 23:11

hells - one i am still friends with nicknamed beachbum is like this.

he's been dumped twice. now purely friends as he wont be more as i keep dumping him for various reasons. but the main reason is the lack of interest/momentum

lou - ds sounds bad. hope he feels better soon.

belle - hows you tonight?

mousie - , you seem very pleased with bf.

well.... bachbum canx on me again. rearranged for wed . at his insistence. i actually said why bother as you keep rearranging. he claimed to be doing it as i should be resting my hand

guy from sat who injured my hand has emailed to say he will see me when he's next up here. i went home in his clothes. and left my jewellery at his mums. we have to meet to swap goodies ... i offered to post.shame he's living so far away.

was on date with someone from pof tonight. lovely bloke. really nice. average looking.totally down to earth and have fab date. bit of chemistry. would defo have a bit of fun...... but my head was completely up my arse and thinking of beachbum AGAIN!!!

i have to sort this out in my head again properly. dont think i can continue being his friend as it's interferring with my other thoughts.

hellsbrokenloose · 02/11/2009 23:11

OMG!!!

He's 32, is not originally from the UK, has lived here for 4 years......sound familiar?

sincitylover · 02/11/2009 23:11

we should try to eliminate the possibility it's the same guy!!!

hellsbrokenloose · 02/11/2009 23:12

he's a banker for a large international bank.

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 02/11/2009 23:13

... is it same guy?

hellsbrokenloose · 02/11/2009 23:14

I'm scared now, does it match your ex?

sincitylover · 02/11/2009 23:14

Phew mine was a bit older - couldn't pass for 32 even on a good day.

Lives south london. Must be a man thing then.

His star sign - Cancer. Literally retreated into his shell/cave and a strange mix of sweet and also quite masculine

hellsbrokenloose · 02/11/2009 23:15

OMG I feel sick!

sincitylover · 02/11/2009 23:16

sorry ROFL shouldn't be though. I did like him but never got really attached to him over the six months.

Now he is dumped because I just couldn't see the point.

hellsbrokenloose · 02/11/2009 23:16

where in south ldn? That's where I am!

What month is cancer?

sincitylover · 02/11/2009 23:17

and he doesn't work in finance. Sorry to give you a scare.

sincitylover · 02/11/2009 23:18

I live in LB of Southwark. He lived alot further south.

Where are you?

hellsbrokenloose · 02/11/2009 23:19

sin, I'm really attached to this one. He's so irregular it's quite appealing!

I'm glad he doesn't bug me because that's too much the other way and I don't have that to give....but I just wish he would be more explicit about his feelings!

sincitylover · 02/11/2009 23:19

June/July

hellsbrokenloose · 02/11/2009 23:20

I'm in borough of Croydon, He's in East London atm.

hellsbrokenloose · 02/11/2009 23:22

He's July, maybe it's a starsign thing!

sincitylover · 02/11/2009 23:22

yes I had never met a man like that before.

Well if you could handle it then I think that's fine really. Perhaps he just needs a bit more 'training'.

I suppose I also held back too because of various things. Perhaps he picked up on it.

hellsbrokenloose · 02/11/2009 23:23

yea, he's a cancer-just checked!

Never been one for starsigns...maybe I should be!
