No mask, pink and blonde hair with orange lipstick and and telephone for a hat.

She comes across as quite shy even though she performes and dresses outrageously.

Remotew · 05/03/2010 23:59

Belle, wish I had your enthusiasm for chatting to randoms on the internet. I'd rather talk on here to the females. But as you all know I am off men atm.

FWB, hmm you don't have to get involved emotionally, might happen, might not.

thesouthsbelle · 06/03/2010 00:08

cain I think it's an act tbh.

eve - tbh I have to be in the mood to chat to people, but usually have 2 or 3 going at the same time talk for one night or a few hours and then don't bother again. besides sitting behind the screen you can just talk randomly - mostly I do as if it was someone sat next to me.

but think i've just managed to arrange a date with this one for next weekend - oops how did that happen?!

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 06/03/2010 09:11

belle - got a nickname for anyone yet?

I wouldn't be able to have a FWB. It would really mess with my head. I'd have to really like someone to sleep with them and then I'd fall in love and then it would all go horribly wrong.

Just been on match. and they've changed the whole layout so I cba with it anymore. I'd also prefer to chat to women on here than a bunch of tossers on there.

Anyone listening to Vanessa Feltz at the mo ? I think she's so wonderful.

Off to do some work now while listening to her.

Still trying to keep my hands off the lindor.

Betty79 · 06/03/2010 12:41

belle-need more info on this accidental date!

SingleMum01 · 06/03/2010 15:34

Hi all, how's everyone. Took your advice and contacted other blokes on pof. One of them doesn't want to email through pof though says he wants me to add him as a friend and talk through fb - seems a bit odd to me or am I just overly suspicious. Don't really want him knowing much about me after one message!

Betty79 · 06/03/2010 15:42

singlemum-just give him your normal email address if u dont want to do fb, I tend to do that or chat on msn after a while cos i get fed up of logging in and out of pof.

ninah · 06/03/2010 15:46

ooh one of my school gate friends has gone to see Lady Gaga, I agree she's interesting character, I was quite and when she told me as she's a v down to earth farming gal
betty trucker sounds OK
thanks all for feedback on my nm situ
he came round last night and I'm afraid I fell asleep on him, I don't think I'd be a very good fwb with my energy levels atm
then i was looking forward to a good old poke round bric a brac shops this am when ex called to say he had run out of petrol on way to get dc
ended up hanging around for over an hour
was really upset, esp as ds's response was oh well Daddy had two cans of petrol in his boot last time we saw them, and they were full because we had to move them to put my stuff in
ex has one of those cars that actually SPEAK to you and say come on loser find a texaco
dunno what is up with him atm but excuse after excuse the sooner i get properly trained and can support them on my own the better just in case he has full crack up/novelty wears off whatever it might be
he was all creeply/oily at drop off and it brought back all the lies he's told me

ninah · 06/03/2010 15:47

oh, missed belle's date, do tell!

Monty100 · 06/03/2010 17:31

Hi Ladies

Ninah - grrr at ex. Sometimes you just can't plan when they're like that.

SM01 - Think it's a bit cheeky when they want your fb so soon.

Belle - who's the date with. Name?

I've just sat down having cleaned all day. and I'm cooking later. Haven't been over the doorstep as I did some food shopping last night. How boring! Still a quiet life is a good life sometimes.

kdk · 06/03/2010 17:47

Hi everyone

hope all doing okay and having a good weekend ... any dates tonight?

I'm completely snowed under with work and trying to write an assignment about which I know nothing ... still hoping to be able to make this week so long as we agreed Thursday - as that's my deadline day - if I haven't finished by then, it's too late!

Anyway, back to the grindstone - sometimes I wonder about the sanity of trying to teach, do a pgce and have kids ... let alone try to find a date...

thesouthsbelle · 06/03/2010 19:45

well my hair's been back combed to death!! but will add a pic later on for you all to have a looksee at. I quite like it to be fair.

date i'm not sure on anymore. spent over an hour talking to him - will call him, erm...... er..... Green, he gave me his number, I gave him a text this am when I was on my way out - had a few texts back & forth, said I was busy today & would text him after I was done - then I had another text about 2 hours later saying how ya getting on, I said yeah ok just going for my hair to be done talk after, then in the space of 2 hours I had 4 texts from him - one asking if he could come to my house and sample some food! (erm..... I think not mate!) So he's either a bit keen, thinks he'll get his leg over, or could be ok - so far i'm thinking the second option - which tbh I'm not interested in, said last night I might let him buy me a drink next week if i'm free - he said well if you can get a sitter i'll come and get you - er.... i'll meet ya in town thanks. lol. seems OK, well was last night, but a bit much on the texts today - possibly?!?

so what's been going on here?

kdk - what is it you teach? how are you finding the PCGE? - that's my aim to do that after finishing my maths degree.

ninah sorry to hear you're having a shite time of it with ex. did I miss something on the NM front? (better go and read again)

monty - d'ya wanna come n clean my tip up?!? lol. have a huge pile of ironing to do as well - deep joy.

smarties - I had a look around the site last night as well - match - is it me or is it the same now as dating direct - are they just not all the same with a different name?? can't say I blame you for not bothering with it.

single mum - agree with betty - I only usually give out FB after i've met someone.

Remotew · 06/03/2010 20:24

Hi all, had a lovely day, cuddling a little one. Just checking in really. Nothing to say except that I caved in and rang Salesman to remind him that I fancied a trip out in the spring but didn't want to join his hareem. He sounded chuffed to here from me. lol

ninah · 06/03/2010 20:31

hi all
green doesn't sound that fab so far belle
you can do better
yes, another one here for pgce starting 2011 i hope, is it as long hours as they warn?
eve, glad salesman was pleasant, what basis is the trip going to be on then?

Remotew · 06/03/2010 20:34

Pillion on a Harley D! He had been asking me for years and can provide the leather jacket. lol. I really fancy it.

ninah · 06/03/2010 20:41

do you still really like him romantically speaking tho eve? yes it would be fun but wouldn't it be a risk of getting hurt (and no I don't mean falling off harley etc)

Remotew · 06/03/2010 20:50

lol Ninah, the only hurt I could possibly get is from falling off the Harley. Just think it's gone on long enough to lose touch now. And we did have a nice time. Can you understand that?

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 06/03/2010 20:57

is pillion side by side.

i once drove all over cyprus one day on the back of a classic harley in a summer dress with a fella who was the absolute spitting double of a young sylvester stallone..... aaaah.. totally forgot about that till you mentionned that eve

go for it. it'll be fab!!

belle - ... with him being so keen i would put him off at least a week. see if he cranks up the heat and gets pissed off at being put off. or if he's just keen he will be happy to just wait about till your free with txt/call contact.

OP posts:
thesouthsbelle · 06/03/2010 20:59

at a harley. would be sooo nice.

juicy - don't worry chick, am going to do that anyhow. not like I'm that bothered either way tbh.

ninah · 06/03/2010 21:00

Yes I can understand! didn't want to rain on your parade in the least - just concerned
If you're OK with that aspect it should be fun - where will you go?
juicy pillion is behind, not sidecar!

ninah · 06/03/2010 21:00

you know, arms round waist, cheek against leathers

Remotew · 06/03/2010 21:03

Juice, spring is in the air he is not getting away with it this time. I'm looking forward to it. Then afterward I will tell him to get some viagra.

thesouthsbelle · 06/03/2010 21:04

just going to upload a nice pic of my hair do.

ninah · 06/03/2010 21:05

god I was thinking that eve but didn't dare say it!
