Juice-sounds like you had a great time

As for the speed dating, think u might be right there cos I did say to my mate there wasnt anyone who took my fancy but if trucker had been there i would have ticked yes for him think i'm just being cautious about him still tho.

lou33 · 15/03/2010 10:15

Glad you had fun juice. There is too much for me to catch up on!

Things went well with his mum. She was quite charmed by the kids esp ds2. He had a bet for a bag of sweets with the mechanic about calling her nanna. He won the bag lol.

But I also came down with a horrible cold yesterday so am now feeling sorry for myself

Remotew · 15/03/2010 11:47

Juice, sounds like you had a great weekend with the forces guy.

Everyone seems to be busy organising dates. Nothing to report here. Went for dinner last night, it was a delicious 3 course deal. It was a fun night, nothing like family to have a laugh with.

sincitylover · 15/03/2010 13:49

juice - glad you had a good time.

To answer your question -Yes possibly.

Betty79 · 15/03/2010 19:53

Hi ladies, been quiet on here today. Ended up with a day off today cos dd2 was poorly. Am having second thoughts about meeting trucker wed, not sure why!

SingleMum01 · 15/03/2010 20:57

Evening all. I suggested going out Thurs but he suggested Sat and asked me to decide what we should do.

Monty - no, not been to his place yet. Whatever we do I'll probably drive and meet him there.

ASBM - no won't stay over, will have to get back for sitter and DS.

Monty100 · 15/03/2010 21:31

SCL - so the saga continues, poor you, hope you're ok.

Juice - are you catching up on zeds. Sounds like you had a fab time.

Betty - what's with the change of heart?

Singlemum - you looking forward to your date? Have you decided which town?

Ninah - pmsl at saps roysing m'dook. I get the picture.

It is very quiet on here, I can hardly keep my eyes open!

hatesponge · 15/03/2010 21:39

juice - sounds like you had a great weekend

betty - why second thoughts re trucker? is it specifically related to him or just general not being that bothered re the hassle of dating (am definitely falling into the latter camp atm myself!) speed dating sounds fun though - am going to try and arrange to go on one when I'm back in London for longer than a weekend!

belle - took me ages to work out the boss/farmer thing, almost had to draw myself a flow chart why is the farmer a no?

lou - glad all went well with mechanic's mum

match is driving me mad, they have changed it all & now I am getting guys from all over Europe emailing/winking at me! Bizarre. Back in RL, was hoping to see work guy at a do in a couple of weeks but found out he's away so wont be there. would probably have been a waste of time anyway, well thats what I'm telling myself!

anyone got any good news to cheer me up?

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 16/03/2010 08:43

morning all,

betty - whats with second thoughts?

sm01 - are you going for dinner? or trying to think of something bit more active? or less active?

sponge - what have they changed about match?

montyy - yeah, shattered. went to bed at 9pm last night. cream crackered. gotta try and catch up on lost studying i missed while away this wkd. so doubt i'll be venturing out the house from fri-sun.

OP posts:

lou33 · 16/03/2010 09:19

Shattered in a good way I hope. I cant seem to stay up past ten nowadays. Eleven seems extremely hedonistic for me now.

Oh and who gave me this stinking cold?

SingleMum01 · 16/03/2010 17:54

Evening, DTMS - yes looking forward, bit nervous as eve date so stepping u a level! Prob be dinner, still fancy a curry! don't do active

Going out fri night with some friends so will be knackered Sat anyway, bags under eyes etc, smell of garlic (its a pizza night!)

Betty79 · 16/03/2010 19:04

doubts i think are because I've asked him out this time, by his request really from last date which i dont mind seeing as he asked me for 1st 2 dates. Have text today and arranged where to meet but not a time? We were texting for a bit then nothing since this avo, so now do i text him again to find out what time or just tell him to shuv it lol can't be arsed with it all if im honest and dont want to waste money on a babystitter if im wasting my time!

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 16/03/2010 19:09

betty - was only this afternoon. he could be busy with work, or driving. chilllllll and give him a chance. as long as you know a rough idea if morning/afternoon/night and where you are going is the important bit. he probably doesn't think he needs to organise an exact time till night before.

OP posts:

Betty79 · 16/03/2010 19:14

Well juice he's not working he's got the week off, he was out playing golf whilst texting me before I dont like last minute organisers lol plus i have to tell babysitter

Original poster

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 16/03/2010 19:23

but if you got some texts during golf you have done well.... thats the same as being text while they are watching footy. except they play golf. then there's food and drink involved.

he'll be with his mates in pub for the 19th hole. cant expect him to continue texting then.... well i certainly wouldn't if out with mates. and i doubt if you were out with your mates you would sit and have a texting marathon either?

i understand you need to organise. but on a golf day is not going to be productive.

OP posts:

SingleMum01 · 16/03/2010 19:45

Betty - he was texting you afternoon whilst golfing - result I'd say!

just text older bloke to ask if he fancies a drink, pub meal or a curry on Sat (he asked me to decide when we last text and let him know). He's replied to say he really doesn't mind its up to me. I caaaan't decide! Thinking a quiet drink in a country-ish pub - that would mean me driving and meeting him there (at least that would stop me getting p'd)

Betty79 · 16/03/2010 19:47

Ok yeah I get what ur saying, you dont stress about things like this do u juice lol! So would you leave it until tommorow to see if he texts?

Original poster

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 16/03/2010 20:06

if he's on a piss up, probably not hear from him tonight. well.. unless he's a drunken texter ... probably not here from him till tomorrow. and even then he'll have a hell of a hangover. if you haven't heard from him by tomorrow evening i'd send a friendly text along lines of

"hows the hangover"

sm01 - just decide. otherwise going to look like an indecisive typical chick ... or if you cant tell him it's a suprise. just choose the town. and that buys you some time to think of somewhere

OP posts:

Betty79 · 16/03/2010 20:09

well juice the date is supposed to be tommorow evening so If I dont hear from him I wont be meeting him lol

And as for whether he is out on piss have no idea, but i have just been on pof (not to stalk him lol) to reply to emails and he was showing as online so either he's on pof on his phone or he's not out on the piss!

Betty79 · 16/03/2010 20:10

This is y im getting fed up of online dating, saying that had a wink off someone from match yest who looks nice and as he was a full member i was able to contact him back and give him my email address

SingleMum01 · 16/03/2010 20:21

Betty -time for him to text you yet. How many dates have you had with him? He's on pof at the moment

Anyone got any advice, I've a scabby spot (hope you're not eating) on my face. Will it have dropped off by Sat?! Trying my best to leave it alone

Original poster

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 16/03/2010 20:30

betty - in light of thim being on pof i wouldn't contact him at all about tomorrow till he does you. thats a bit fishy to still be fishing

sm01 - leave it alone and it'll heal

OP posts:

Betty79 · 16/03/2010 20:40

ha ha tis fishy, urgh i cant be doing with men! I'm not gonna contact him, will soh and if i dont hear from him by afternoon tommorow will cancel sitter. Makes me not want to bother anyway tho

hatesponge · 16/03/2010 21:37

betty - I'd leave it to him, if you dont hear at least you have saved the babysitter cost - whats the one on match like?

sm01 - i would say toothpaste for spot, but that dries it out - if its already a bit flaky then just moisturise etc. either way try to resist the temptation to pick and/or poke it lol

juice - re match, its gone a bit dating direct (according to my friend who was on DD) you can IM now, and other stuff, plus it seems to have opened up to whole of Europe....hence why I've got what seems like every unattractive middle aged guy in France and Italy winking at me. plus some even worse ones from england. If I read one more bloke who is looking for his 'sole' mate I really might scream

hatesponge · 16/03/2010 21:46

oh god, match goes from bad to worse. some guy winked at me (one from the uk for a change) went to wink at him but instead hit the button next to wink & by mistake added him as a favourite ...which he certainly wouldn't be, I was only winking at him cos he seemed half normal!

have now removed him as a favourite, I think, and am hiding offline....
