where have all the fit, interesting and available men gone (part 18)

[DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE]

part 18.... jeeze 17 threads have past...17 threads worth of dating excitment/disasters.

wonder what number 18 will bring

any predictions anyone?

wedding/co-habitation for someone must be due by now.

CIPT, POF is crap, after all it's free! I would suggest keeping your legs shut or get a rampant rabbit, but then I'm feeling bad atm (see posts tonight) so not very helpful.

rofl
and on that merry note i'm offskies too
hope you sleep ok eve xx

night, I'm off to bed too. x

Clearly I picked a bad time. Will come back again.

Night.

sorry all, just come off phone with him
but yes hair is v bad friar tuck stylee, better when short
I wouldn't stray cos I like and respect him but in some ways I regret not making more of the dating process, I think you need to meet a few utter nobbers tbh to really appreciate a good one and stop being as shallow as I KNOW I am being
I am the kind of person who if I kissed a frog and it turned into a prince would wonder if the next one would be an emperor
must hit the sack also is irresponsibly late

I fucking hate Trolls. Bastards.

Gosh I'm really sorry about that vent. Wrong thread, that other one has been pulled.

NN all.

am guessing it all kicked off on CC's thread then? I posted on it earlier, then got cut off (bloody useless train wi-fi) and now its been pulled.

FWIW I didnt/dont think CC is a troll. But I do think there are a lot of people (other than us lovely ones on this thread) who do treat MN like their personal fiefdom.

like I said on that thread, its all a bit 6th form.

on a different, but not much less depressing note, was eating some (slightly crunchy) toast earlier and half my back tooth fell out Anyone know a good dentist?!

I think this may be karma for me mocking the guy from match who turned me down for a date because he broke a tooth

hate I didn't think that either, however if she was then I do apologise profusely to monty.

cain - sorry you feel like that, I think after the other thread, and it being so late and all, but we are a nice bunch usually - honest.

Morning all. Any advice? Well, thought I'd give it a last attempt - sent a text 9.30 last night, didn't get a reply (although he knows I'm in bed by 10). he replied this morning saying was at gym last night and left phone in his jacket, asking how i am etc - picked up message this morning. Still not asked if I want to go out.

What is he playing at - is he just busy (he did say his daughter (university student) was up for the week (though I thought she stayed with his exwife). Should I reply or just give up. He does seem a genuine bloke, a gentleman, shy and not pushy. I'd like to see him again but I'm getting p'd off now

Cain, yes come back, I was in a bad mood with mumsnet last night. Back to myself today.

POF is still OK last time I used it. Hey and whats wrong with Firemen? I think as CC's thread demonstrates that you need to trust your instincts when meeting a stanger on the internet. Once the conversation turns to webcams and cybersex then stop contact unless you are sure that is what you are looking for.

There are some genuine guys out there looking for straight dating/relationships. Might try again myself in a couple of months.

SM01, sounds to me like he is genuinely busy atm. I would answer, telling him you plans for this weekend as it's a write off with him. Even if you don't have any make something up. Then see if he suggests something when he's free.

Must get on with some work now.

sponge
eve hope you had a decent night's sleep?
sm01
don't understand what he's playing at tbh
is this his 1st bit of dating post divorce?
he either sounds wary or is keeping his options open i think
might be worth you keeping yours open too as at least it will keep your mind occupied

ninah can't you tactfully mention how nice his hair looks when it's shorter?
or even pass a comment about shaving it all off

asbm - not his first, but I don't think he's done much. Can't see the problem with just saying if he's busy though, bloody men. Think you're right, its time to do a bit more fishing, if anything, its given me the confidence I needed to get out there!

yes def.
and if he sees that you're possibly not so available as you have been then hopefully he'll up his game

sm01 - agree maybe you should continue dating and not put everything on hold for him. i dont think he's ready for an exclusive relationship. its perfectly normal to want some time just fishing around for a few months/year after a divorce to find yourself again. after all you forgot who you really are in a bad relationship.. and all relationships the end must have been bad iykwim. if it was good you would still be in it.

ninah - would he suit bald. exp had horible daft hair when i first met him. after a nudge towards the razor he never looked back as soon as relatives/friends started saying how much better that looked than the balding shiny centre section he kept it completely bald... really depends on nm scalp shape though. not everyone suits this.

cain - come back. yesterday was bad day. pof has been good to me. i cant complain. you just have to take it with a gosh as you will come accross some strange men... and if in doubt about anyone making any dubious requests/comments... come on and share them with us and we can give you a translation as internet dating has a whole different set of rules i find from RL dating that you should stick with to keep safe.

belle - eh??mcdreamy and steamy

also ... now... why did i never meet a fireman on pof

as for webcams... used in the correct fashion can be useful to see what someone will look like in RL when you meet. but best to be avoided.

monty - i stay offline on fb. as often has comp and facebook on through the day and shouldn't be skiving need to study.

my email is same as my msn though. if you dont have it email me on fb and i'll give you it. cant give out as its my name

hate - karmas a bitch isn't it

never seen thread about bloke and his bird.

sorry for barging in, i don't normally come on this thread, but i was trying to find out what happened to CC's thread.
for her.
i hope she does come back.

it sounds like she really needs support.

hatesponge don't worry about the tooth: i broke half of one of my back teeth about 8 years ago, the repair i had done fell out the same day and i've been "toothless" since then.
i think the nerves are all still there, but it doesn't hurt at all.
(although i did have a filling in there before it broke, so it might be protecting it). i would wait and see how uncomfortable it is first! dentistry is bloody expensive nd also quite scary!

threads gone.
cc gone
dont know if she'll return.
nothing more i know.

OK Juice, thanks, you must be really excited. What time you off? Hope you have a brilliant time.

Belle, honestly no need to apologise.

That CC thing has left a nasty taste in my mouth. It was all rather disturbing. Anyway, she said she'd be back under a different name. She might be back already. We'll see.

Ninah, lol at hair. DP had middle aged rocker long hair till he saw the back of his head in a photo and then he shaved it off! He's never looked back.

hi all not much to report but agree with whoever said there are some people who think they own the relationship boards.

I do find it bizarre there are many seemingly happily smug married woman some of who may have only had one partner ever - who love to comment on singles relationship issues with authority.

As I said on deleted thread the words vultures and voyeuristic come to mind. Also some of them seem to protesteth too much IMO.

I also have to question some of their motives for giving advice - sometimes there is almost righteous indignation when the poster disappears or does not follow advice.

If I give advice I do not expect payback.

Anyway man front quiet - not much going on at all but quite happy atm with that in fact walking to work this morning was thinking I am lucky in many ways to be a 'free spirit'.

nickelbabe don't think you're intruding lol
my mn has gone haywire this morning so haven't really seen what's been going on but i see that there was a spin-off thread in chat which also seems to have been pulled
as scl says we're all v.non judgemental over here on Lp's and us merry band have been supporting each other for the best part of 14 months thru our various up's and downs and mis-haps
it is a v light hearted thread really and that's what makes it so nice
tho i have no probs with anybody posting on any thread in any forum i do think that cc is prob.best seeking help elsewhere atm

rofl @ monty
my dp has a shaved head too
ninah i think it's the way forward for him lol

I saw the spin off thread too, CC changed her name, went for lunch, came back and it's been pulled too. God knows what went on today.

Just booked a weekend festival for myself and DD. Same one we went to last year. I must be mad! Just need to get a nice self inflating mattress off ebay.

A spin off thread? my o my, anyhow, off to the gym tonight for combat and & marine fix - has been far far too long since i had a damn good ogle at his toned butt! will catch up after.

hey.

not sure if this will post or not??? my threads seem to keep getting deleted.

lame attempt at a joke there.

the second thread, which i didnt start got pulled as it was a thread about a thread. apparently.

it was more of a discusion on troll hunting and why some posters feel the need to attack people. why people have to prove themselves and then one poster admitted to copying on her pc controversial threads and said she was happy to email them.
then it all went a bit wrong again.

hey ho.

im ok. ish. Checked out some bdsm sites to see if that was ' normal bdsm' behaviour and it appears not. ive had a lot of feedback that the guy was an arse.

i think the whole situation would be bad if it just happened normally. like if you just had sex with someone after a few dates then they didnt contact you again.
but when i actually think about what happened it makes me feel quite sick.

anyway - i hope im still welcome?
