Has no-one beaten me to it yet?

Juicy sounding good.

WG old friend is worth seeing again.

Second not to arrange a meet up without me. Maybe down south in May.

eve, i think it's becuase i am very unconfident, and i gave him a compliment and didn't want to be a prat.

Def would prefer it this way than hun. darlin, or send me a picture. I did that too a few months ago, sent a pic on phone, and didn't hear from him.

Lou congratulations of the L word !!!

hatesponge · 22/01/2010 21:03

pc - glad you got an email! dont worry about the lack of compliments - ive had a few emails on match from guys going oh you're so pretty/interesting/blah blah blah.....but then never heard from them again after that initial email, so I actually think no compliments at first is the way to go!

and juice is right, phone nos is the way to go - am definitely not adding any more men to my FB again after the last 2 disasters! I would go for a drink with him, if you dont click you dont, nothing lost etc

juice at forces man with accent, and tapas too! have you worked out a way to see him again before sunday yet?

lou- wow & is always nicest when they say it first!

kdk - anything from match man yet?

can I matchmake/meddle for anyone else? Am happy to put my match membership to some good use, plus its a distraction from my own lack of success!!

talking of which...my date for next week is on. however no idea where to go - i asked him where he wanted to go & he said he didnt mind I am equally indecisive. No idea what to suggest, he lives a way away (but in same town as my best mate)he said he will come here though...decisions, decisions!

and what do we think of this? about 6 weeks ago got email from man on match, v nice and chatty, man himself is pretty gorgeous - anyway he said in his mail wanted to chat more & gave me his msn address. I emailed back & said dont so msn, but he could email me- never heard anything further. until today when he winked at me...do you think hes forgotten earlier email?! not sure whether or not to wink back. he is rather lovely. but i still dont do msn!

Hi ladies, just checking in been soooo busy this week.

On the man front saw mrjack tues and am seeing him tommorow. Am off to watch britain's got talent being filmed in day (cant wait ) then will be seeing him after.

Sounds like there are lots of new dates planned this weekend, hope you all have fun

Remotew · 22/01/2010 21:23

Betty, nice to hear from you. So you have got tickets for BGT, with Amanda, Peirs etc? Sorry if I have got this wrong.

Glad its going well with Mr Jack, slowly, slowly to catch the worm . Must admit I was overwhelmed last week with Salesman, then met him this week and went thud!! Not gonna be the romance of the decade.

Betty79 · 22/01/2010 21:44

Eve-You forgot Simon Cowell lol Yeah tickets are free and it's first come first seated so we aim to get there for about 9.30 even tho it doesnt start until 1.30pm! must be mad, but went last year and it was sooo much fun!

DONTtouchMUMSfestiveJUICE · 22/01/2010 22:02

sponge - no, i'm not really going to try. plans dont work out well for me. i shall go to gig and take it from there. i might end up staying in glasgow sat night and not seeing either

Remotew · 22/01/2010 23:24

Betty, are you taking the DC's? I bet they will have a great time, and you. lol

DONTtouchMUMSfestiveJUICE · 23/01/2010 09:20

quiet on here last night?... where did everyone go? dates i hope.

pc - did you give him your number?

whethergirl · 23/01/2010 13:20

I wasn't on a date, ds was at my mums and it was my first night in alone without ds ever. Felt a bit strange. Spoke to my friend last night, she's on POF so we were coparing notes and she went out with Handsome, who asked me out the other day! He texted her 10 times the day after the date (and the same day emailed me to ask me out for a drink!).

Remotew · 23/01/2010 13:29

WG, how funny, I think! Are you going to go out with him just to keep comparing notes.

OP posts:
whethergirl · 23/01/2010 14:07

No way abouteve, I had mixed feelings about it anyway but my friend has now really put me off. He's a real yuppie type cash flasher, nowhere near as good looking as his photo (despite his handsome claims), a bit of a bunny boiler and no soh which is important to me. Altho my friend really wants to meet him with me for a laugh...think I'll just go on a proper date.

My friend said he had this strange habit of replacing some words with sound effects. Thinking he was being really cool.

DONTtouchMUMSfestiveJUICE · 23/01/2010 14:13

wg - oh no... bugger that. you have to set him up and both go. did he go on date with her and make out like they were going to be regular?

DONTtouchMUMSfestiveJUICE · 23/01/2010 14:15

oh and sound effects thing is weird.
my gig is off tonight. i really just couldn't be bothered. and way behind on study. so going to manage a few hrs of study once kids are in bed then go out to play after if i feel up to it. and i manage to get the house looking respectable by then.

Remotew · 23/01/2010 14:17

Fair enough WG but you could have had some fun with him.

Looks like I'm at home all weekend too. Cannot be bothered to lift myself off the sofa atm.

OP posts:
kdk · 23/01/2010 14:24

Is he local to north London and off POF WG? Go on, tell me his username, I feel like a laugh, maybe we could all meet up with him ...

and have heard nowt from the man from match ...

Got IM'd from some guy in California on OKC last night who got stroppy because I wasn't dedicating myself to answering his, frankly very boring, messages so had a tantrum and threw his toys out of the pram.

Meeting a friend for a very quick drink tonight but that's all sadly. Still like juicy, got lots of work and lesson planning I should be doing anyway.

whethergirl · 23/01/2010 14:27

Well juicy, he definitely was very keen, she told him she definitely wasn't free for the next 2 weeks and he still texted her to go to the theatre. Also he is apparently very well connected, she is a musician and he has promised to give her a few leads. But she has made if very clear that she will not do it in return for anything! He told her she was in his "top 5" of greatest people he knows (they only went on one date remember!).

Glad you said that abouteve, because today was supposed to be my day of hard core decluttering but finding it hard to start. I have got off the sofa though (to make tea).

whethergirl · 23/01/2010 14:31

Ok kdk, for your pleasure, username is racing blue. My friend said he has definitley photoshopped his eyes to look that blue because in real life they are wishy washy greay.

What's OKC?

kdk · 23/01/2010 14:33

OK Cupid - it's another free site

whethergirl · 23/01/2010 14:39

Definitely completely free? Not free until someone msgs you and you realise you can't reply?

kdk · 23/01/2010 14:40

Funnily enough just noticed that a guy who last week told me he had just started messaging/dating someone from Soulmates has now created a profile on OKC. Prat!

And @ WG, just looked at his profile - surprised he wants to date anyone but himself!

Remotew · 23/01/2010 14:42

Might have a nosy later. Well I got off the sofa to empty the bins. Think I need a nap now.

OP posts:
kdk · 23/01/2010 14:48

No, completely free - utter shite as usual but free shite!

whethergirl · 23/01/2010 14:49

yeh EXACTLY kdk, when he wrote to me it was all about him "I'm handsome, kind, funny..." etc etc. I felt like saying well that's great, what about ME?

abouteve - just calm down will you! There's only so much you can do in a day.

kdk · 23/01/2010 14:58

Hey WG - sorry if I've got this wrong but you're in Finchley aren't you?

kdk · 23/01/2010 15:11

An example of one of the fine specimens available on OKC

"I really do like slutty up front women, and love either picking them up, or being picked up for hard raw sex sessions that go on all night.I'm a middle aged man, and have had sex with many women of this ilk, the dirtier the better. Because I'm rather large in the manhood department, younger women are attracted to me and can't enough of my manhood. I find it strange really, it seems the younger generation prefer size to anything. But I'm not complaining. But I do prefer expeienced older women who are fit and can go all day and night. "

Well, I can hardly contain myself from contacting this one - anyone want his username just ask, he obviously caters to all types - in my day, we just called that 'desperate' - and who believes him about his unfeasibly big dick?
