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.

smarties - purse-lipped prude, moi? I think not! Unless I'm so deep undercover that I don't remember what I really do get up to?

@ asbm - sure there's someone else who's a fellow norf londoner - but could just be imagining it - like not being smarties' old maid neighbour ...

kdk · 21/02/2010 22:49

and I'm with ninah - off to bed before I forget to completely and the kids wake me up drooling on the sofa

Monty100 · 21/02/2010 22:50

Evening all, and nn Ninah. Will be hitting the sack soon myself. Always so tired these days and I have a stonking headache as we speak.

Just popped in to say that its ds's parent's (with a singular apostrophe lol) evening on Thursday this week, so I'll just keep an eye out to see what's happening re the meet up. Bloomsbury is fab for me as it's near my work. Sponge, SCL and myself are sarf.

Hi to Dasola.

pinksmarties · 21/02/2010 22:58

Monty100 · 21/02/2010 23:21

Hi ASBM . What's posh mail? lol

I've skimmed over last night's events and the bit that sticks out in my mind the most is Salesman. for Eve.

Agree with you ASMB, my parting shot would have been a direct hit I'm sure. lol

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 22/02/2010 09:20

morning all,

i nipped off to bed early last night after spending the day arguing with dc dad,

asbm - no skyping while he's away.which is pants. large granny pants

betty - he's still keen. but not in psychotic way.

irish woke me up at 8am for a text convo about just how hungover he was

pink and dasola - hi, welcome.

ninah - cant remember either what you asked me.lol

monty -

wish i could nip down to join you girls on ur night out

belle - whats this marathon thing about?

aseriouslyblondemoment · 22/02/2010 09:54

exs!!

confidencecrisis · 22/02/2010 10:10

ladies - can i join you?

Did have another thread, but there is more of you on here! plus you are all dating gurus!

Had a fab date with a lovely guy. Had spoken to him on the phone alot before the date, and hes very easy company.
Intelligent, witty, fab job, poilte, great manners, fab flirt and very very charming. hes got his own house, no baggage at all and knows i have a child and other commitments.

heres the crunch. Hes not much to look at. hes not horrible but very different to what i normally go for. I knew he wasnt excally my type looks wise before i met him, but i was a little bit thrown when i first saw him on sat.

But, i tried to be grown up and not focus on that, and i didnt and i had a fab time.

he wants to see me again. id like to see him.

Am i really shallow? i am arent i?

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 22/02/2010 10:51

confidence - hi, welcome.

truth is... looks fade, personalities are there for rest of lief.

how good looking isn't really the question. whether or not you find him sexually attractive is another.

if you find the mere thought of kissing repulsive due to his looks then really its pointless going on another date.

but... often a really great personality can be enough to overlook someone who is more average than "phwooar"

and you find that after a few dates you do definately find them highly attractive due to their personality.

i have to admit... i prefer a bloke to be on good looking side of average looking than absolutely drop dead gorgeous. they tend to have better personalities. the really "phwooar" fellas have been too used to getting everything handed to them on a plate through their life and tend to be rather shallow and limited social skills. never really developing the charm you can get with the average looking bloke which will last you through longer than the phase of lust and into love

aseriouslyblondemoment · 22/02/2010 10:59

hi again confidence

he could be a grower this one!

confidencecrisis · 22/02/2010 11:00

Oh - i def find him attractive.
We had a bit of a snog and a grope ( how classy!) lol

I could have quite easily invited him back to mine. In fact, i almost regrett not doing so.

But ive no doubt its his personality that im attracted to.
Hes not horrible at all. hes tall, slim. Was nicely dressed. Shops in nice places.
He just had bad hair and wonky teeth.

Ive just normally always gone for the drop dead lush types. The russle brand types ( now i know this isnt everyones taste, but it is most def mine ). However, as you say, this type are used to women throwing themselves at them.

confidencecrisis · 22/02/2010 11:08

and, he was really lovely. he paid for all of dinner, despite my insistance to pay half.

This might not seem like a big thing. But actually, i dont think a man has ever done that for me, ever. ( met husband when i was young and we were skint and boyfriends before then were teenagers)

And, we had a walk about after meal, and we had to walk past a drunk group of men, and he sort of shielded me from them. and held doors open.

and was just really nice.

And, i do have a feeling that he will be fab in bed. He was a great kisser.

And he called me later that night to make sure id got home ok, and to say he had had a really nice time and would i like to do it again.

he just has bad hair..... and VERY wonky teeth.
If someone has bad teeth, why on earth dont they get them sorted?

and, maybe, could he not have put some product on his hair? or... just done something with it???

aseriouslyblondemoment · 22/02/2010 11:11

i think you need to elaborate on the bad hair and wonky teeth!!
juicy you don't think it's gummy do you?!
we need a mental image here
russell brand is strangely attractive i agree but i don't like his hair,lovely face tho

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 22/02/2010 11:15

russell brand ... and his slut image does nothing for me either.

and yes.... elaborate on just how bad are the teeth.. simply wonky is not too bad... black and wonky i couldn't kiss anyone like that.

and the hair?... was it clean and just needs a shove in direction of a hairdreser.....

or are we talking.... overgrown, manky and an embarassing to be seen in public with ?

asbm ... ah yes... the date with the gums

confidencecrisis · 22/02/2010 11:24

not gums... lol - do tell on the 'date with the gums'

top front teeth were all over the place. one really bad one stuck right out. WONKY.

Hair, just needed a push in the right direction. I think he was going for a mod sort of look... but it just wasnt going right... just crap hair.

I love russel brands hair, i love long hair on men. I dont find short hair bad, if its nice.
Dates was sort of inbetween and bad.

lol

i feel like such a bitch - and, im hardly megan fox myself!

aseriouslyblondemoment · 22/02/2010 11:24

or maybe it's a comb-over?

confidencecrisis · 22/02/2010 11:27

oh - but teeth and hair were clean.

and it was cold and windy and he had got a train and walked. so its possible he got a bit windswept.

i got a taxi, so of course, i looked fab ;)

Remotew · 22/02/2010 11:28

Confidence, you say you find him attractive so the teeth and hair cannot be that bad. I would definitley go for the second date and see how you feel after that. Let us know how you get on. I will be looking beyond looks after the last one who deserves 'shit of the month'. It's always easy come easy go with the very good looking ones.

OP posts:
confidencecrisis · 22/02/2010 11:29

i can put a pic on my profile later ( not now, am in work) for a limited time...

is that mean, esp as he doesnt know?

or, is it vital, for research reasons?

kdk · 22/02/2010 11:32

Hell's teeth woman, what do you want - George Clooney, sorry Russell Brand, naked and gift-wrapped? You've said you found him attractive, you snogged him, he was a good kisser and a gentleman and you're wondering what to do .... I'd go for it - for at least a second date anyway! Actually, forget it, just wrap him up and send him down here and I'll take a look!
