thanks, nice to find fellow singletons going through the same thing! I've been divorced for 5 years now (XH still giving me grief re lack of maintenance and being a general twat!). Had a couple of flings but nothing serious, decided to try again this year, so been chatting to blokes on POF, probably wouldn't have plucked up courage to meet anyone until this one suggested it and thought should give it a go! Pretty scary though. Talk of the devil he's just text me!

lou33 · 25/02/2010 13:35

Hello smo1 saw your nm thread, he sounds lovely, and hello historybuff
Just marking my place
off men, but on thread

confidencecrisis · 25/02/2010 17:21

lou - congrats

ninah - no dates lined up for this weekend then?

Sorry, i dont know anyone else.. will try and join in.

Have got second date tomorrow. We were going to the cinema but theres nothing on so are going for a drink instead. We have been speaking all week. He said hes really looking forward to it.

I am, but im nervous as hell. Im picking him up quite early so dont know what to wear. its freezing cold too. I was thinking skinny jeans, long lenght, low v thin ( see though) jumper with a vest top under? and shoeboots?
is that casual enough, but still made an effort?

I think we will probably come back here afterwards.
Which i want
but then i get all nervous.

thesouthsbelle · 25/02/2010 20:14

lou.

Don't forget to let me know if you have any updates!

DS informed me today that the teachers at nursery think he is ready for school...I think that's a good thing!

ninah · 25/02/2010 20:56

janos yes it's a good thing, means they think he is bright and mature
confidence I never made it to the first date! so no, nothing lined up, although I half agreed to go to an 80s party don't think I will have energy/babysitter
your outfit sounds fine. That nervous thing is quite pleasant though, isn't it? I love that buzz of early dating!
as for hats my money is on lou or asbm with juicy coming up fast on the outside lol
now don't go all hmm or biscuit juicy!
and it looks like thread newbies might be in the running for our dating crown

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 25/02/2010 21:24

ninah - well... he has already asked

what u gonna go as for 80's party?

OP posts:
Janos · 25/02/2010 21:34

Oooh yes DS told me about it with a big grin on his face. I think he's definitely ready for it and that is a good thing.

Just hope he doesn't drive me bonkers by August.

Mum...why is...what's that..why is that like that...why does this happen..why does that happen..? Today I was interrogated on what fish and sharks like to eat.

Anyway, totally off topic. I'll shaddup now.

I remember the buzz of starting to date, I loved it. It's a good feeling..esp when you gel with someone! All jaded and cynical now of course

ninah · 25/02/2010 21:42

janos I remember well that v long summer holiday with ds before he started school ...
is a lovely thing to hear though, high praise indeed (I work in early years)
you see, Juicy? many a true thing spoken in jest etc etc ..
No I don't think I am going to party, I forgot about it totally til confidence reminded me about weekend .. if I am tempted & can find last minute sitter it will be jeans and big jewellry tho

thesouthsbelle · 25/02/2010 21:51

fucking wanker cock sucking fucking twat of a nobbing fucking cutting shitty wanker twat fucking nob end.

gymboy is all of the above. and abusive, so he can stick that up his arse & lump it!

sincitylover · 25/02/2010 22:03

oh god sb - what has he done?

thesouthsbelle · 25/02/2010 22:06

don't ask sin. right now thou am pretty defeated - needless to say he's starting to get an air of XH about him - abusive, twisting things & shouting louder to get me to see his point - which then when I say it back to him is being laughed at.

is it me or does anyone else get real defensive when someone puts words in your mouth?

Remotew · 25/02/2010 22:09

Belle, I though GB was history a while ago.

thesouthsbelle · 25/02/2010 22:19

deffo is now eve after tonight. as we say NEXT!!!

(he went to canada for a week & I had one email - no call to say he'd landed safely no nothing) one email after i'd contacted him to say assume you're there. Great week huh. ho hum. day off tomorrow.

kdk · 25/02/2010 22:20

you okay belle - whatever the silly twunt has done, I hope you're okay - let us know okay?

thesouthsbelle · 25/02/2010 22:22

yeah am fine kdk - just off to lick my wounds a bit is all. he's fully deleted now thou you'll all be pleased to know. roll on combat tomorrow at the gym with the marine.

Remotew · 25/02/2010 22:45

Thank goodness for that Belle. I do realise how much he has hurt you but really thought you had stopped contact with him a while ago. Have some chocolate and a hug.

A boy at school nicked DD's phone today and clicked through her photo's. 'Is that your mum? she's fit'. DD was mortified. I didn't realise 16 year olds had such good taste. lol.

thesouthsbelle · 25/02/2010 22:47

I did eve, but caved - so weak willed. knackers to it all. shame it's a bit late otherwise i'd crack the malibu open. lol.

thesouthsbelle · 25/02/2010 22:47

(hey a MILF! )

Remotew · 25/02/2010 22:50

I am having a horrendous time at work atm and really want to throw a sicky, probs won't but I'm drinking a glass of wine tonight.

Thank god he didn't say MILF or DD would have kneed him in the balls.

thesouthsbelle · 25/02/2010 22:53

throw it throw it! lol.

good on your DD thou.

and on that note i'm off to take wee man into bed with me I think for tonight - bless him. good job today's pay day - bad job that the bills have to be paid otherwise i'd make the plastic melt doing some serious retail therapy on it! lol.

Remotew · 25/02/2010 23:06
