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.

X posts. Belle/Ninah being stood up is the pits. So it was Thaifarmer who you were waiting to hear from. What is your reply to exnm?

thesouthsbelle · 20/02/2010 19:12

tbh younger (XH) he was ok, he was able to stand up to me when it was needed, but he also took it a step too far.

bit older (ie 2-5 years) XP & gymboy, well bit too immature still I think.

Much older ie (10 + years) now you're talking but my dad doesn't like it - sailor is 9 years older, and marine is 14 years older. both are settled. We shall see, aunty is still trying to set me up with marine & uncle says he'll put in a good word lol - but emails suggest a brush off n friends only.

I was really referring to the nitty gritty. We all know that whatever age most, not all, are strange. I was saying that the last couple of guys I've slept with dated that have been around age 50 mark have had trouble getting it up. There I've said it. Getting worried now.

thesouthsbelle · 20/02/2010 19:19

oooh eve not good - althou slip him a blue anne summers pill.

sincitylover · 20/02/2010 19:24

hello all haven't been on much as had a busy half term - dcs here and there and I had to work - it wasn't jsut normal week had a major event so alot of stress.

Did get one night off and went for drink with wh.

On the dating front zero - partially my own choice and partially nothing much happening on the sites for me.

Gardener stopped texting perhaps he sensed I wasn't keen and Mr Yorke sent an email.

Seems like the rest of you aren't having much luck - sorry to hear you were stood up Ninah.

And eve think the salesman has got a f*ing cheek.

Perhaps its the cold weather although I feel like I am getting used to it.

I did suggest the little blue pill and he didn't seem upset. Anyway started a thread. Hope it's not unanswered.

Waves to SCL. Zero dating is good, that's how I feel atm.

thesouthsbelle · 20/02/2010 19:28

hi sin - yup zero dating is better I think. less hassle & more money.

ninah · 20/02/2010 19:31

I wasn't stood up lol scl it didn't even get THAT far! thanks tho
see what you mean eve. Haven't really dated 50s, mid to late 40s sometimes a bit erratic in the trouser dept. Went out with a 60 year old once (i know, I know, but he was young looking, fun, and had a Porsche - shallow) - and he was an absolute stallion, in retrospect I think he had help from the big V
Hello south!

Oh no-one has answered. Maybe all mnetters have virile young bucks for DP's.

More money Belle?

OP posts:
ninah · 20/02/2010 19:33

I am liking zero dating also. Like things as they are! are we going to have to retitle this thread or something people are either spousing up or taking the veil

thesouthsbelle · 20/02/2010 19:36

yeah cos you're not spending it on dates.

mine's an answered there as well so prob just none of the relationship gals are about?!?

hi ninah.

what's upset me the most about today with sailor is the fact that DS & I were having a special day, I took him swimming we literally had 45 mins in the pool and had to rush to get dressed etc with me being stressed to get to meet sailor in time & he wasn't there, no call no nothing. poor DS would have loved to stop there as it had slides & everything. even thou I had to measure him for new shoes in clarks (hence why I suggested lunch - 2 birds with oen stone). btu we could have spent more time swimming - in the waves..... with the dodgy looking burgers at the pool side cafe thingy. lol.

ninah · 20/02/2010 19:38

not enough detail for you eve?
oh that's proper stood up south, how horrible for you what an ignorant pig

thesouthsbelle · 20/02/2010 19:39

yup, n to think y'day he was being lovely & saying how he was a nice bloke n I should give him a chance n trust him - guess he thought my trust issues were too much huh! is it any wonder they're there?!?

ninah · 20/02/2010 19:42

that's what mystifies me south
no one makes them say nice things, or agree to do stuff - if they don't mean it/want to why the hell not say so?
btw the answer to nex (new ex) was no thanks

thesouthsbelle · 20/02/2010 19:45

good on ya,

exactly that ninah - why say it if they don't mean it? what's that all about - why can't men just be straight down the line, no ifs no buts, black n white.

Belle for you. What should have been a fun day with DC was ruined. Don't give him another chance.

OP posts:
thesouthsbelle · 20/02/2010 19:49

won't be eve don't worry - tbh it was the second time we were meeting, and I blew him out last week for gymboy - but this week I was prepared to meet him with DS. as emotions etc aren't involved this one's gone, as they say NEXT! will have a fantastic day with DS tomorrow - might even let him into bed with me tonight as well.

Good for you Belle. I won't be seeing Salesman again, not unless he begs for forgiveness and produces the receipt from Ann Summers and cannot see either happening.

I do sometime think that I'm not looking for a relationship myself, but I don't knowingly share and if I'm going to put some effort in I want some reward.

I'm off men and sex for a while after this.

Have just received an appointment for a loop in April, had a couple of abnormal smears.

aseriouslyblondemoment · 20/02/2010 20:01

oh see the vino is opened lol
belle what an ignorant arse he is and what makes it worse is that he knew that you had ds with you

Are you rationing the choc Ninah?

Wine going down OK. Can you tell DD is out for a change tonight so I have the laptop.

OP posts:
ninah · 20/02/2010 20:11

rather unsuccessfully
nice it is busier on here tonight!
eve I think the blue pills are fab, like I said before my older chap was astounding, what made me wonder was him talking about his friend in the US taking them, and acting a bit nervous if we met on a rather impropmtu basis

Remotew · 20/02/2010 20:16

lol Ninah, similar to us of we haven't shaved our legs. You should have asked him for one, they work for women aswell.

I have Lindt choc tonight.
