scl - I agree with everyone else; fact that he's reacted like this does him no favours imho- is either that he's not a nice person/bit controlling, which is to be avoided, and/or he's not been entirely honest re his situation, which again is no good. Either reason, you've definitely done the right thing to raise this with him. I'm not sure I would see him again other than when unavoidable ie at work

lou - your date sounds promisingly keen! you will have to update us all tomorrow

belle - agree that if you're not lying to sailor, no harm in meeting him, however this may be because I'm a rubbish liar so can't never manage to tell even the smallest fib without tripping myself up over it within 5 mins

re my fri night date, man 1 text me last night - general chit chat - I then text back asking if we were on for Fri, could he let me know. And nothing. still no reply 24 hour later! So sod him, man No 2 it is!

Further quick question - so sorry, but this is all new to me - there is a 3rd man, also met on Match, who am now friends with on FB. We had a long chat (on FB) over the weekend...whats the protocol now? If I go on & he's online, should I say hi? Or wait for him to? One day I might learn the rules of all this!

Am off now to panic what I can wear that's warm but alluring(I think we may be going to Somerset House for mulled wine & to watch the skating...will be watching as theres no way Im skating at all let alone on a first date!) on Friday night!

lou33 · 15/12/2009 23:17

he sounds like a passive aggressive type scl, keep your distance

maybe he is keen, i put off him calling cos i was watching a film with the kids in the end, but i called him afterward an we chatted for quite a while, about films, work, sausage dogs, you know the usual kind of thing

he's convinced he will want to see me again, ive told him we may hate each other tho

anyway he is separated not divorced, but for about 10m now, i assumed he meant divorced when i asked how long he had been split from his w

lou33 · 16/12/2009 00:32

any of you on here that are on my fb, will be able to easily spot who it is now, from teh comments he has been making this evening

Betty79 · 16/12/2009 08:38

he looks nice lou, hope u have fun

lou33 · 16/12/2009 09:11

if the weather holds out,and he doesnt get called to a job last minute, because its meant to snow later

DONTtouchMUMSfestiveJUICE · 16/12/2009 09:15

hatesponge - i am so appaling at the fb/msn etiquette that i no longer give them out. some of the others may be able to help.

as for warm yet alluring.

heavyweight jeans on bottom (bootcuts or skinny's with knee highs for extra layer.) you can also stick a pair of tights on underneath if you think your gonna be v v cold.

on top. something knitted that isn't chunky(nice polo neck? with a long funky piece of neck jewellery??). with vest underneath. that way you can remove if you go indoors.

and fitted jacket... try and avoid the padded duvet style ones at all cost... yes... we know they are very very warm.. but i really just isn't flattering. skinny people look like neds. overweight people like marshmallows. i have yet to see someone look truly fab unless its a £3k marc jacobs version.

so.. fitted jacket.. something heavy weight???.. duffel matterial perhaps.. and if you happen to be wearing a pair of jeans where you asse looks fab, make sure the jacket is not covering it

hats scarfs and gloves.

do not wear one of those hats with the ears unless your going the full hog with your outfit and can pull it off. and if you dont really wear hats as they dont suit you then dont. just wear your hair down to keep your ears warm.

scarf.... if your wearing thin knitwear on the body.. make the scarf something big colourful,chunky and fabulous.

gloves are optional. but bear in mind if your hands are cold its a great excuse to stick them in his pockets for a cheeky grope of his asse.

lou33 · 16/12/2009 09:20

oh juice i just laughed at theat post

esp the glove thing , because i said almost exactly that to the mechanic this morning by text!

wrt the fb msn thing, if i feel like saying hi i do, if not i dont, some people (me included) often forget to log off when not at the pc, and it looks like they are there when they arent

just dont overthink it and do what you want

i am going for warmth this evening, my wettish looking leggings (that actually look more rubbery than wet) with boots and a jumper dress i think

DONTtouchMUMSfestiveJUICE · 16/12/2009 09:40

lou - i go all sensible on my first dates. haha.

on thurs i will be going to london drssed in

leggings that have leather patches on the thighs/knees
red/black tartan mini skirt thats got runched finish rather than like a kilt.
and this wicked t-shirt i found the other day.

topped off with a bright red fitted duffell jacket and thigh high boots.

i'll get some odd looks at the airport!!

lou33 · 16/12/2009 09:43

i like the t shirt, the skirt sounds a bit too youthful for me

i dont usually make any different effort to dress up more for a date anyway, it's all about me and my comfort lol

i tried on some lovely thigh high boots yesterday but the calves were too big

DONTtouchMUMSfestiveJUICE · 16/12/2009 09:47

skirt

i have huuuuge calves.. where were the boots. they would probably fit me. as i'm always struggling for boots.

DONTtouchMUMSfestiveJUICE · 16/12/2009 09:49

got the skirt in a size bigger so it sits really low down iykwim.i'll be super comfy. legging, comfy skirt, t-shirt, flat quilted thigh highs keeping me warm

christmaseve · 16/12/2009 10:35

All this talk about clothes reminds me to have a look around the shops at the weekend. I need some new stuff.

Hope it goes well Lou, is it today?

HS same as juicy. I'd rather not do the MSN or fb chat. Prefer texting or meeting in person.

lou33 · 16/12/2009 10:56

i like that skirt but i couldnt get away with it now at my advanced age

the boots were in an independent store in woking, only 35 quid

gutted i was

yes it is tonight, he has been texting al morning, said its snowing round his way ffs

sincitylover · 16/12/2009 12:57

Ditto needing big calf boots. have been looking around without much luck.

I like the skirt juicy and hope you have a good time in London. Although I live here I rarely get to have the good time I know you can have here.

Love all the clothes talk. Like to wear leggings and jumper dress - need a couple more jumper dress but can't find any atm.

Had a further two emails from Mr Yorke full of hot air about how he is an individual how he doesn't comment on my domestic situation etc etc. Have told my work colleagues what he's up to and will certainly not be initiating any contact with him.

He's certainly in the right profession behaving like a right drama queen.

christmaseve · 16/12/2009 13:16

SCL he sounds a scary one.

Aww just had an email from Turkish Delight asking if I am coming to Turkey next year and if not perhaps we could meet in Paris!!

Still bearing in mind my invite to have fun in the snow in France with FWB.

Secretly hoping that things continue with my new friend. We are texting but not arranged to meet up again yet. Don't you just hate this will we wont we thing?

lou33 · 16/12/2009 13:30

what you gonna do eve?

i feel quite proud of myself this week

i have fixed my drier, my washing machine and now my gas fire

tho i am filthy now as a result

i need to wash up wrap some gifts and start thinking about baths and shit for later

picking up boys at 3.20 and dd1 at 5

meeting him about 7

also have to sort dinner too

christmaseve · 16/12/2009 14:03

It's my turn to text so will send one tomorrow. Tell him about our works bash on Friday and to wish me luck as it's the dreaded 'black eye friday' and the next town can be a bit rough.

Well done for fixing stuff. I have been known to do the odd bit of plumbing as it's not rocket science, I just lack the strength so it takes me much longer than a bloke.

Hope it goes well tonight. Let us know.

lou33 · 16/12/2009 15:08

i'm sure it will be fine, i just dont know if i am ready to be dating right now iyswim

i guess i will find out tonight

Betty79 · 16/12/2009 18:00

eve-it's called 'mad friday' here lol and im gonna be one of the mad ones out lol

lou-I'm sure u will have a good night, ur only meeting him for a bit arent u? that's good cos there is no pressure then, well that's if he dont get called away!

juice-have fun in London and dont get up to TOO much mischief!

scl-that mr yorke is def a drama queen, are u ignoring him now?

sponge-good for u for sacking off no.1 and sorting date with no.2 lol

as for fbook chat and msn it's one of those things ive kindof regretted doing. I have mrjack on my fb and msn and feel akward if we're both on but not chatting sometimes. So in hindsight wish i'd stuck to text/phone with him but then i wanted to be nosey and look at his pics lol like others have said tho sometimes people are logged in but not actually near pc or in mrjack's case asleep lol and fb chat, people dont always look at their friends list to see who's on, I know a lot of friends who hate fb chat cos it's so slow!

lou33 · 16/12/2009 18:18

yes i am planning on being home between 9 and 9.30

i should probably start thinking about getting ready really

lou33 · 16/12/2009 18:32

oh he just said he is on his way

i think i have a bit of time tho

sincitylover · 16/12/2009 19:10

Lou hope it goes ok

Betty - yes he has text me today asking how I am but have ignored.

lou33 · 16/12/2009 19:16

he is 4 miles away

i should finish eating my crisps and get my bits together shouldnt i?

Betty79 · 16/12/2009 19:25

yep get moving lou and enjoy

lou33 · 16/12/2009 21:52

well i am back

he was nice

he asked to see me again next week, before i left, and just sent me a text saying how much he enjoyed it and i was lovely

i said i would meet him on tuesday, i figure its worth a second meet before i make my mind up

we got on well , had a good chat, i think he was a bit nervous though
