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

Well it's only been one date. It just feels right. As soon as we spoke for the first time. Is that wierd? The bad thing is is that I live in London and he lives in Brighton so we can only see each other on weekends

lou33 · 28/10/2009 18:16

i dont think thats a bad thing

it means you look forward to seeing each other and make the most of it

Betty79 · 28/10/2009 19:02

Lou-I hope not lol! No seriously very much doubt it!

lou33 · 28/10/2009 19:07

where does he live?!

Betty79 · 28/10/2009 19:18

leeds way i think

lou33 · 28/10/2009 19:37

not the same person then lol

Betty79 · 28/10/2009 19:46

lol phew

lou33 · 28/10/2009 19:52

it would have made for some interesting conversations tho lol

Betty79 · 28/10/2009 20:04

lol, im really struggling with the online dating stuff. Decided not to text footiebloke today to see if he texts me, well he hasnt as yet. Just been on pof to check email and he was on there. So thinking he isnt that bothered, otherwise surely he would have text? or do men play games more than women?!

Betty79 · 28/10/2009 20:04

ps i feel like a bloody teenager, dont need this really!

lou33 · 28/10/2009 20:11

men seem to text differently to women, they dont always see a reason to reply all the time or feel the need to be in daily contact

sincitylover · 28/10/2009 20:17

ime all of them text in a completely random way there is no rhyme or reason to it, either sparsely or complete overkill and when they feel like it not when you would normally expect or want it!

Can you tell I am feeling more than a little pissed off with male communication skills tonight.

Anyone like to prove me wrong?

Betty79 · 28/10/2009 20:19

ano that's what i was thinking, suppose im just trying to stay guarded. prob have said it before but exh was the complete opposite and kinof pestered me at first so not used to the normal bloke approach.

I've turned my phone off now cos I'm bugging mysef, and will not go back onto pof to check lol end of day if he wants to be in touch he will i suppose. thanks lou

sincitylover · 28/10/2009 20:20

in fact feel like giving up on all of them tbh

lou33 · 28/10/2009 20:21

they seem to do it in sporadic bursts

Betty79 · 28/10/2009 20:22

sorry didnt see u there scl men eh, really dont get them sometimes!

thesouthsbelle · 28/10/2009 20:25

hi all,

am reading and floating around but not gonna be about too much - still reading thou, but am in need of a bit of relaxing time at the mo.

saw gymboy (I know I know!) today i'm now past caring. honestly totally. really couldn't give a good god damn! so while in this mood gonna retreat to 'belles world' :D

on the plus side thou just won £300 on the bingo!

oh betty - yes men play games- least i think they do. buggers the lot of em.

bah! - am becoming a nun!

Betty79 · 28/10/2009 20:29

belle-what r u doing giving him ur time!

anyway well done on the bingo win!! what u gonna spend it on?

thesouthsbelle · 28/10/2009 20:33

I know I know i'm an idiot! but as I say - now am past caring tbh. fuck him. (excuse my language!)

erm it's mostly gone lol. got DS's xmas pressie today - a new ben 10 bike plus accessories for £91, and bloody housing have messed up my benefits so they've worked out i'm only entitled to half of what I actually am, and have an over payment of £400 to repay, so until that's sorted out really I shouldn 't spend it. (am ringing the office daily well 2 daily thou for updates lol)

aseriouslyblondemoment · 28/10/2009 20:41

hi weetabixlou!that sounds fab!way hey!are you seeing him this weekend?
yeah i'm still with action man long since promoted to bf status
scl you sound really meh hope you're managing to chill out a bit this evening
betty yes i think alot do play pathetic games but there are some genuine ones amongst all the nobbers,tbh tho it sometimes takes a while to work out who they are..but i hold my hands up have also played these games too partly out of the thrill of the chase and partly out of self preservation iykwim
belle am guessing/hoping that it will be spent on your lovely self..replenishing the malibu or a visit to the toy store
eve are you still suffering there?glad that you've managed to take the day off.
lou are they waiting for lb to try out the philips before they post the link?
btw is it me or is lone p's page a bit odd tonight?

thesouthsbelle · 28/10/2009 20:47

yup mousie, it will be going on me (aside from some winter jarmies for DS he's desperate for - or at least i am for him to keep him as ,my baby! )

Betty79 · 28/10/2009 20:48

asbm, dont know about it being odd havent noticed!

I forgot to add earlier xh text to say he'd ring kids tonight...well it's now 8.45 and they are asleep no phonecall! glad i didnt tell them! nob

still got my phone turned off, am tempted to leave it off and use my old one for alarm in morning

dontouchTHEMUMMYSpecialjuice · 28/10/2009 20:50

belle - sorry to hear your needing some time out. good thing for you after the emotional upheaval you've been through.

texting - yeah..... everyguy is different. some text for daily chit chat. others see it purely for arranging things. and do so begrudgingly when they make first contact.

there is absolutely no rhyme and reason to it. and women are the same. some great, others pathetic.

ladies ---- think i have set a record. i have a date for sat. one guy is going to this noir burlesque thing dressed as batman... but we will call him noir guy. agreed we shall have a drink, but not spend the evening if you know what i mean. agreed to be with our friend. but have a wee yak over a cocktail.

and ..... another date first chance i can get a baby sitter next week on monday or wednesday , we shall call him ...the foot doctor.

passmyglassplease · 28/10/2009 20:53

evening all, just marking my spot, god this thread moves fast!

rj sorry to hear about irish, but hey moving on

and belle, he aint worth it

sorry am a bit confused about ninah and scl!!!!

Suppose I just need to concentrate more!

Hello to everyone else, am liking your new name eve, it sounds like there could be a bit of fun to be had, this new year?

lou, am jealous that you managed to get the massager but would love to know yr feed back on it?

itm waves to asbm, can see you are still seriously loved up, as am I although we have also had the discussion on me having children!

I just know that he cant live without me, so there is no need to discuss any more

All is well here

FluffysBeenBittenByAVampire · 28/10/2009 20:57

Hi

It's fluffybunnythinksthemailsshite

Boy, you lot can natter

Well, mine is still insistent on being friends, yet he's letting us get really close to each other, plays with my hair, gives me his last sweet, takes time gently stroking my hand when I give him something and would be really upset if I had an accident as it's not him I'm still as confused! He's asked me to go shopping with him on Friday for a costume and we are going to the cinema on Saturday. Odd friendship hey!

Hope you are all well.
