You have to give it another go if you are unsure. Much better than a no no.

Lou - good stuff! sounds as though it went pretty well, I think if he's not a definite no you should meet him again - hopefully next time he'll be less nervous

scl- keep ignoring him...hopefully he will get the hint eventually!

thank you all for the clothes advice, came back to a mini style & beauty thread am going for the leggings/jumper dress combination I think, have to look relatively smart as he is coming straight from work so will be in a suit!

have got a tailored coat which will wear with hat - am going to pop out at lunch tomorrow & buy a new scarf & gloves (doubtless only from primark or similar!) juicy I know exactly what you mean re puffa type jackets, I am not the thinnest person so they make me look like the pilsbury dough boy (not the look i was aiming for!)

Am starting to get that slightly sick nervous feeling, but am telling myself it's one night of my life, it will hopefully go well, if it doesn't I will just make a (crap) excuse & leave!

after I posted on here last night took the plunge with FB man & sent him a msg, ended up chatting for nearly an hour...he hasnt asked to meet me yet, but he keeps saying how gorgeous I am, how he'll never be able to keep his hands off me, that he thinks I need someone to look after me etc[ hmm] This rings all manner of huge alarm bells with me due to past experiences, don't know if I'm being unfair or not?

primark have some really nice leather gloves in atm for £7

i got myself a pair in black , and some for my girls in hot pink and royal blue (theirs are for xmas tho)

lou33 · 16/12/2009 22:21

posted too quickly

i meant to say he has messaged me again saying he is back and can he call me

i said its easier if he catches me online, i feel a bit tired

Betty79 · 17/12/2009 07:48

Aww lou he def seems keen, have seen his comments on fb too lol

lou33 · 17/12/2009 09:11

well he has already asked for a 3rd date and we havent had the second yet (he is taking me for dinner on tuesday evening, to a place local to me)

he told me last night that he was blown away by me from as soon as i got out of the car, and he has told his exw and his 2 best mates about me already

also asked if my kids would like his dog (he has a really cute sausage dog)

like i said a second date will do no harm, but there isnt the same kind of spark i have had with a certain other person, though more than there has been with others, so i dont know really

he has been in touch today already

aseriouslyblondemoment · 17/12/2009 10:05

just looking in
scl he sounds really scary tbh hope you're ok?
lou how handy to know a mechanic during the winter months
could have added something far cheekier there but will leave it to your imagination lol
rofl @ eve and her post it note on hand...is your dd still being shirty about you bringing a fella back?
juicy have a fab time in london,have really lost track of all your harem,but i think you and irish are obv.meant to be...and monty has her hat at the ready too

ohh and hi spice if you're about how are things with you?

lou33 · 17/12/2009 10:15

my car has to go to the main dealer as part of its warranty

but if i keep it when the 3 yrs are up in may, instead of getting a new one, then he will be v handy to know

i told him this last night

christmaseve · 17/12/2009 10:25

At work but my minds is winding down already for the festive break. Bring it on!

ASBM having problems with DD atm. As everyones knows I've been lucky with her so far but from what I've read 15/16 can be turmoil for a mother/daughter relationship. Her critism of my lifestyle is more to do with her working out who she is etc, or something like that.

Would hate to get to this stage for it to all go pear shaped for the future so it's crucial that I handle things with care and am trying to listen to her, take a bit on board, without her thinking she can dictate to me. Gosh should have posted this is 'teenagers' but you did ask!

Still in touch with my new friend so have a massive atm. Still haven't fixed up another date yet!

aseriouslyblondemoment · 17/12/2009 10:41

eve that's sad to hear
haven't quite reached the teens stage yet with mine tho ds1 is v outspoken and arsey with it and wouldn't even entertain the idea of me having a relationship with anyone except his dad
as lou has said you are more than entitled to a life of your own when you're not wearing your mum hat
can another sympathetic adult who dd respects have a word?
rofl lou yes it's handy to know a man who can give you a good servicing

OP posts:
lou33 · 17/12/2009 12:04

you have to work out the best way for you both eve, good luck, teenage hormones are not the easiest thing to deal with, i can tell you that much after all these years

asbm you are a saucy one

i'm still seeing batman on saturday

lou33 · 17/12/2009 12:07

oh i forgot to add, no idea what my exh is playing at, but after him saying about how awful i am etc, he only sends me an email last night with pics of the kids when they were tiny and wishing me a good xmas

now

a) the email reads like he has been reminiscing with me in his head, and seem to think we are good mates

b) he is acting as though everything he said was a figment of my imagination

and

c) he has already sent me the same pic about a hundred times, and sent them to the dcs as well

i ignored him

sincitylover · 17/12/2009 12:23

Hi just been for blood tests for various things.

Mr Yorke still texting and ringing but have ignored. Feeling a bit nervous because I'm here alone at work today (well no-one on my floor). He hasn't come over here before.

Not sure whether to tell him I don't want to pursue anything or just ignore.

lou33 · 17/12/2009 12:40

it depends how long you can bear him still contacting you

i would try and ignore, but if you have to then just tell him to take the hint

christmaseve · 17/12/2009 12:41

SCL, ignore and he will get the message.

Lou and olive branch? He must be getting in the Christmas Spirit, Gin probably.

Had friends and family over recently and they have had a jest with DD about this Ab Fab relationship we have, so I've had a bit of support. In fact my friend was on fb chat to a potential new man and she told him she was with me and my 65 year old daughter.

christmaseve · 17/12/2009 12:41

Lou meant to say 'an' olive branch?

lou33 · 17/12/2009 13:17

lol @ 65 yr old daughter

one thing my kids have been ok on is me dating, luckily

i dont think its an olive branch eve, i think its more likely he has mental health issues down to the alcohol now

that combined with an absolute refusal to accept what has happened between us, it just confirms to me how i did totally the right thing by ending the marriage

Betty79 · 17/12/2009 18:38

lou-does sound like more of a mental health/alcohol thing with ur ex

glad u had a good time on ur date, u dont sound as keen as he does tho? or is that because u'll be seeing batman this weekend?

eve-i think it must be hard for ur dd but she does have to understand u have a life too, im sure u will come to an understanding soon

hi asbm, hows things with u?

scl-that mr york def has a bee in his bonnet about it doesnt he, id ingore him hopefully he'll get the message!

nothing much from me to report, looking forward to my night out tommorow need to get house tidy and decide what im wearing tonight and be organised cos im picking friends up to get ready here straight from work

lou33 · 17/12/2009 18:52

it definitely is betty

the mechanic has been in touch all day since about 7.30 this morning

he has told me he is definitely v keen, hoping to keep seeing me, and yes he is more keen than i am, but it doesnt mean i dont liek him

its not about seeing batman on saturday, its more about lb really

but he's out of the picture so i may as well give see this one for a second time and give him a chance, it's not his fault, there isnt actually anything wrong with him

aside from being really really enthusiastic (saying things like he hasnt stopped smiling all day)

if it still doesnt feel right then i will have to say something i suppose

Betty79 · 17/12/2009 18:58

aww well u can only give it a try and see

sincitylover · 17/12/2009 19:27

quick update - texted him (on advice of gbf who I bumped into tonite) saying I did not want to take things further and would like to leave it.

Since when he's left two vm messages and sent two texts,along the lines of he's very fond of me, he can be patient, he's here for me etc etc.

I'm now ignoring and hope he does not keep contacting me.

I owe him nothing.

lou33 · 17/12/2009 19:35

you owe him nothing at all

hopefully he will get the hint

lou33 · 17/12/2009 20:01

mechanic just told me he doesnt want to wait til tuesday as its too long away !

thesouthsbelle · 17/12/2009 20:21

sin - I'd say that's bordering on harassment now tbh. keep records of everything. obv a man who doens't like to be out of control or to be told no.

loou - sounding good for you as well.

for me - not sure now if i will see gymboy this side of xmas as apparently he's 'busy' fair enough has a long w.e in holland but there's a few days for negotiation - we shall see - doubtful thou. so much for rearranging my work days to see him in bed on weds all day.

Have arranged to meet sailor while XH has DS - slightly worried as he said to feel free to bring DS along with me for coffee - hmm, I know we've been emailing for the last 6 months but?!?! apparently he says there's something he can't quite put his finger on but i'm a 'top lass' fingers crossed he's not a raging loon - althou I am alpha mum over DS tbh and v v protective.

betty/juicy/blondie how are u all??

lou33 · 17/12/2009 20:27

omg he just told me he has told everyone about me, including his mum
