kdk I know, I know ..but you do have seriously lovely hair
does anyone think 'looking for new adventures' might be open to interpretation or is that just me .. as in, wow she's adventurous she'd probably love to spend the weekend dressed as Nell Gwynn

kdk · 12/01/2010 20:30

Now how did you know that I always spend my weekends dressed up as Nell Gwynn ....

but you may be right - I was hoping they might think 'adventurous as in I would like to be whisked off to Paris/Tangiers/Istanbul/Brighton delete as applicable ....

And thanks very much re the hair .... when it's behaving itself, it's okay but has a tendency to turn into a frizzy mess and make me look like a cross between Albert Einstein and a brillo pad - seriously sexy first thing in the am as you can imagine.

Hey,

wow we've all been busy over here today!

juicy you will be pleased to be informed that gymboy is NO longer on my FB, all messages have been deleted & my call log (as well as his number which already was) I am apparently seeing him tonight (one last time mostly at his request yes but only so I can say rev up n do one ) but we shall see - I said be @ mine to go out for a drive at half 7 8, he's said about half 8 so if I don't have a call to say he's outside & waiting then ho hum- not lost anything cos DS is at mums n the malibu can be opened lol. anyhow.

kdk - love the profile. very sassy.

how are we all today anyhow - is lou still loved up?!?

juicy - hope you got your studying done mrs!

sin/blondie hope you girls are OK.

re mans height - has to be at least 5'9 otherwise I won't bother XH was 6'3 and a bit too lanky thou I think.

lou33 · 12/01/2010 20:42

i am, he came down tonight with a couple of xbox games he bought for the kids

Janos · 12/01/2010 20:53

Hello everyone, just a brief pitstop to say hey. I have precisely no news right now but that's just fine.

kdk - loved your profile. You look fab it's really original, and it stands out (in a good way).

kdk · 12/01/2010 20:56

Gosh, I am overwhelmed by you all - I just wish I was gay and then I could ask you all out!

Remotew · 12/01/2010 20:58

Hi I've been lurking when I get the chance, been ill and busy etc.

Belle, you won't get him out of your mind until you stop speaking and seeing him.

Lou, glad it's still going strong.

Waving to everyone else.

KDK which site are you on? I'm not on any, except that Zoosk fb app. Nothing going on there much. Got a message off a guy called 'Madforit' who spells it out what he is looking for, sex. Didn't bother replying. Bit off men atm.

Janos · 12/01/2010 20:58

Ha ha...well it's any consolation kdk, I would if I was a bloke

That's not much use to you I know but hey, it's the thought that counts.

Remotew · 12/01/2010 21:02

Sorry KDK, havent been reading properly so hope you don't mind if I have a nose at your profile.

Janos · 12/01/2010 21:04

Sorry to hear you're still feeling poorly eve

kwym about men, me too. Just very meh at the moment.

OP posts:
kdk · 12/01/2010 21:05

No problem - what is this zoosk of which you speak? Is it worth it? Have to say I wouldn't exactly recommend any of the sites I'm on as an unmitigated success.

lou33 · 12/01/2010 21:08

i had a date from zoosk but we got on better as friends, he's lovely actually, we are still in touch, just not bf material for me

kdk · 12/01/2010 21:15

Yes but what is it - how do you get it and what do you do there? Is is a dating site or what?

Remotew · 12/01/2010 21:20

Zoosk is just a fb app. I'm not sure how it works but I've had a few messages from it. One last night from someone in my home town. Sent a message back but not sure if he received it. Had some matches sent today and one was from MrBinMan.

I wouldn't recommend it. I don't mind having a free profile somewhere with the attitude that if and only if someone exceptional gets in touch I might decide to meet, or if I haven't been on a date for ages I might lower my standards.

KDK, I loved your profile btw and hope it attracts some interesting men. I never know what to put on those things so say very little.

lou33 · 12/01/2010 21:39

kdk can you reply to me on fb, i have input from the mechanic as promised

DONTtouchMUMSfestiveJUICE · 12/01/2010 21:41

belle - i'm getting caught up on my study quite well, did you go see gb?

just spoke to a very slow burner. been emailing since about halloween . finally earlier in week he got my number.. and tonight he called. i think we have a date on fri afternoon!!.. shall we call him the officer?

will see if it happens though. friday is ages away for a date to arrive. lol.. alot can happen in 3 days!!

i dare not use zoosk... a few people i know are on it
eve- who was mrbinman i forget

lou - at games

DONTtouchMUMSfestiveJUICE · 12/01/2010 22:11

oh.. and a confession. i gave in and asked irish if he fancied meeting tonight for some fun... he said no.. absolutely no. under no uncertain terms in any way are we ever to do anything naughty EVER again

says its too much messing around with heads/feelings.

that'll be me told them

really tis a shame this one didn't work out. he is quite thoughtful in some ways...(when he's not busy being self-absorbed and consumed by alcohol demons)

hatesponge · 12/01/2010 22:11

lou - lol at the mechanic fitting my ideal man criteria see I was right when I said we should clone him!

scl- Mr Y sounds as though he is becoming a real nuisance. Definitely involve work if needs be- and if it is getting out of hand. Poor you.

belle- well done re gymboy & deleting him! good for you. he hasmessed you around enough.

juice - am liking the slow burn....hope fri goes well!

kdk- I agree with juice, you do sound really original/interesting. I think you have been unlucky with attracting weirdos, altho the point about what you're looking for may explain that....hopefully changing that to dating should bring better results

whilst it is nowhere as interesting as kdk's, anyone fancy having a look at my profile & amending at will?...

kdk · 12/01/2010 22:17

I'll look if you like - actually, after hearing about my startling lack of success, you may want me to stay well away from your profile - but I did used to be a writer in a previous existence

hatesponge · 12/01/2010 22:32

ok, here goes..all (constructive) criticism welcome!

me

my intro line - the woman seeks man bit, which probably seems a bit random- is a quote from peep show, my favourite programme (which is also where I got hatesponge from..am such a one trick pony)

as you will see, am only 5' 6, but always wear (v high) heels. Plus horrible confidence-destroying Ex was same height as me, so short men tend to remind me (unfairly I know) of him.....

lou33 · 12/01/2010 22:33

i know, he can do no wrong, he also brought sweets

ds2 keeps getting up wanting to say goodnight to him again and again

lou33 · 12/01/2010 23:10

i did ask about cloning but he said no there is only one allowed of him

thesouthsbelle · 13/01/2010 08:10

oooh juicy you BAD girl you lol. glad you're catching up on your studys thou & also hae a date on friday.

zoosk not tried tbh on FB did try speed date but couldn't keep up with it lol. Did meet a few actually on are your interested - literally just shows a picture, also how I met GBF.

sponge - looks ok to me tbh. How are you finding the chappies on match?

lou clone. lol.

well we met he was only 15 minutes late as well (for him it was v v early as was pre 9pm!!! lol) talked did we sort anything out I don't know, he said he didn't know if anything he said made a difference - tbh it hasn't. his number is still deleted & his messages are as soon as they come into my phone again. Had some chips & a hot chocolate & sat on the hill for a bit. He came in for a while after then I kicked him out after playing the wii for a bit. He said wasn't the last time he wanted to see me. asked what I was up to the rest of the week. said he'd introduce me to his family as more than a friend. . told me to look into his family business accounts cos he'd be interested himself er.... said I MAY go shopping with him on saturday. (possibly). he texted last night when he got home to say was in safely. He went in for a kiss last night but I just stood ridged, & he ob thought better of it. (plus I was stood with my arms folded). Told him I'd gone as are as I could go with this now, that was it, the next thing for me would be a relationship families & all that lovely crap that goes with it. told him again why I can't be friends & also said the lines would get too fudged, and also said I'm not interested in FWB. He said he knew all of that, doesn't know what to do & is confused. I was like well i've said my bit (obv didn't tell him his number has been deleted etc! lol) so I now won't be contacting him at all. We shall see - if he's that arsed then he'll do something about it.

oh and we also have a mutual friend (he knows one of mums friends thru his hockey) - she said the team name for him was 'the ditherer' as he could never make up his mind on anything lol. (yeah knew that!)

Betty79 · 13/01/2010 08:23

belle-glad it went ok with gb, keep strong and stick to it, you have told him you wont accpet any less than a proper relationship so it's up to him. At least for once you have put it on your terms, if he doesnt want that he needs to foff! lol@the ditherer!

juice-lol u naughty girl! yay for ur date tho, hope it goes well.

Not much to report from me, back to work so not much time to be reading/posting will try and catch up but will prob take me till weekend lol.

DONTtouchMUMSfestiveJUICE · 13/01/2010 09:13

belle - when i think of you i am .... so... if you only want a relationship... wtf did you let him in to play wii? and why are you going shopping at the wkd??...

you should not be doing anything. as he has not agreed to a relationship. you are giving him carte blanc to keep dithering.

hatesponge. i dont see any problems with your profile. only

under children you have 3 possibilities, if you aren't certain just stick to "not sure".. and again in the kids section you have 3 answers. just stick to one of them."kids live with me" would be fine as you say earlier they are part time. i like the part about you liking football. but not sure if i'd remove the soccer mom bit, as it looks like your whole wkd is busy with soccor stuff and you wouldn't be available to see a fella then.

love the bit about working class made good!!
