am going to get the mechanic to grit outside my drive and around my car when he is here next, the bag is too heavy for me to lug and i hurt my back a few days ago lifting ds2

DONTtouchMUMSfestiveJUICE · 11/01/2010 17:51

kdk - think i'd give birdman heave by now. seems like he's mesing around

and if you dont want to block exh for sake of stopping an arguement. you can restrict access so he cant see comments you make or receive.

i've got a cracker from pof for you... so this guy... talking away...aranging a date for sometime this week... so... he seems really nice... then says he cant drive as got banned for speeding (, but ok, benefit of doubt).. so i'm trying to think of places near him and mentionned the climbing centre local to him (janos you will know where i mean)... and i say i'm not sure if they have public transport access for him but they are open late...

says he "doesn't do public transport"

to which i ask how is he planning to meet me then in future if we hit it off?

he says "you will pick me up"....

do i look like a taxi????

my response " no, and i dont see any point in going on even 1 date as it would not get beyond if you cant use public transport to meet me"

wtf.... what kind of person thinks some woman is going to run around at his bek and call collecting and dropping him off everywhere like she has nothing better to do.

and..... he honestly thought i would go to his house on the first date and pick him up.... imagine he was a complete munter and i couldn't get him out the car. no bloody chance... first date. neutral ground. seperate transport so exscape is possible

ninah · 11/01/2010 17:55

haha go juicy

lou33 · 11/01/2010 17:55

lol what a loon

what did he say when you said no chance?

DONTtouchMUMSfestiveJUICE · 11/01/2010 18:00

loon "can we be friends, you seem really down to earth and cool"...... shame your a loon

me"keep in contact if you feel the need"

didn't say i would reply.

kdk · 11/01/2010 18:14

You're more patient than me juicy - I just ignore loons like that ... and get ignored by the men I find attractive - something is going awry somewhere but not sure what to do to put it right ....

Maybe he confused PoF with a cab service? I know many blokes seem to confuse dating sites with a large online brothel/sex chat line so could be understandable mistake no?

Janos · 11/01/2010 18:19

Yeah Juicy I know the place you mean.

"doesn't do public transport"

"you will pick me up"

So, he's irresponsible...and a snob...with a massive sense of entitlement....what a catch

Also juice - how do I block x from seeing any comments from fb. I'm reluctant to not confirm him as friend coz he'll only start hassling/being more of a pain than he is already - and don't mind him seeing pix of kids which I put up but don't want him seeing who I'm friends with etc. Is that possible? How?

sincitylover · 11/01/2010 18:31

god juicy what a flamim cheek!

Lou -I wouldn't drive on that either.

I am gearing up to go back to work again after false start last week. Not that keen tbh but needs must. Have got cabin fever at home.

Am speaking to nm on one site. Looks ok but seems too keen to push the soh angle of himself. Will carry on for a bit and see. Dont have a name for him yet.

kdk · 11/01/2010 18:35

scl - what sites are you on? I'm finding PoF too full of freaks and fuglies atm, OKC is, well, too full of same + fetish/tranny types + birdman. Thinking of trying somewhere else (is there anywhere else) or just accepting that, much as I love the internet, me and internet dating are not good for each other.

ninah · 11/01/2010 19:10

what's soh
(knowing it will be obvious but racking brains)
oh yes got it
like gsoh. yes, I had one of those. Mr Happeee?

thesouthsbelle · 11/01/2010 19:46

kdk - no it's not for me either, I had an email on POF from a bloke who said 'hi you look nice I want to meet you for coffee' I said - well I'm not really wanting to meet anyone at the minute just chat, he said 'well don't waste my time then! WTF you emailed me remember I was being courteous replying!!

also re blocking your EX accept him, then in the privacy options at the top you can specify what he can & can't see on your account. don't think you can block who he sees as your friends thou.

Juicy - you sure do pick em!

lou - sounds like a plan re mech doing your drive.

ninah - hope DD is feeling better soon.

no word from the sailor bit but guess he's leaving me to it as I am him as well. gymboy has been in touch today. either way it's ended today. final. finate.

oh roll on greys anatomy I say!

Janos · 11/01/2010 20:27

belle - you are much politer than me (not that that twonk deserved any level of niceness, IYSWIM, how rude of him, arrogant sod)!

I actually don't bother replying to most of the messages I get.

OP posts:
kdk · 11/01/2010 20:41

me neither - particularly the 'hi hun' or 'hi - u r sexy' ones - they just make me want to reply 'hi dick' or 'hi, u r not'

lou33 · 11/01/2010 20:49

mechanic has turned up with a shovel and an inhaler for me (i ran out last night and cant get a new one til weds, so he went and got one from his sister who had a spare)

i like these thoughtful touches

Janos · 11/01/2010 20:50

Too right kdk. I get any number of those (think they just send them out willy nilly so to speak hoping someone will respond).

Text speak is for mobile phones only, IMO.

sincitylover · 11/01/2010 20:51

Hi kdk - I am on pof but have never met anyone in RL from it. Very bizarrre selection.

Also on smooch have had more luck with that one!

Unfortunately had text from Mr Yorke tonight - saying 'hi any chance of seeing you?.

I am ignoring because I don't want any chance of provoking a reaction. Given how he reacted initially to me saying I was uncomfortable about his home situation.

Reading his fb entries of late this seems to be a common theme in his life.

This is really making me feel uncomfortable tbh!

Janos · 11/01/2010 20:51

Aww lou he's a right smasher so he is!

OP posts:
Janos · 11/01/2010 20:53

scl - what's happening with MrYorke? I'm sure you;ve already posted on this but I have a memory like a sieve (sp?).

If he's making you feel uncomfortable then that's not a good sign.

OP posts:
kdk · 11/01/2010 20:53

Ah Lou, your mechanic is proving a beacon of light in a sad and dreary world! any chance of a clone?

sincitylover · 11/01/2010 21:08

janos - quick summary - he works at my place tho in different department - slipped me his no. (this was before Xmas) - we texted a bit and met for a coffee. He was too touchy feely for me and OTT. During the coffee it transpired he lived with partner but 'relationship was dead' Yeah right I said!!

When I next saw him I told him I was not comfortable with his home situation. Cue emotional outburst from him via text, email and calls. He turned it around on me basically saying I didn't know his situation in detail.

I then told him I did not want to take things any further since when he has been in touch via text and email and I have not responded to any of these since I told him that.

sincitylover · 11/01/2010 21:09

yes agree re mechanic

ninah · 11/01/2010 21:11

lol at hi u r not!
Yes I remember Mr Yorke. What a Prate.

lou33 · 11/01/2010 21:12

i feel very lucky actually

hatesponge · 11/01/2010 21:24

evening everyone

agree entirely with cloning lou's mechanic...one for each of us?

scl - ignoring Mr y seems the best thing...hopefully he will eventually give up, however something tells me that may take a while.

belle- i've never understood this crap with guys wanting to stay friends etc. I hope he respects what you've said and leaves you alone. All this to and fro is no good

juice - good you got your watch back!

quiet weekend here - I seem to be out of favour on match, only had 2 winks in the last week from guys I would never be interested in (& who both said in their profiles they were looking for someone with no children....despite that fact I clearly say in mine that I have 2!) no-one seems interested in me other than that....am getting bored with whole thing already and I've only been doing it a month!
