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.

sponge-thanks have decided to leave it, if i dont hear from him then like u say will cancel babysitter. If he does text will have to decide whether to bother going or not.

as for match and winking lol...maybe u shud message and say sorry wasnt meant to add u to my favourites ha ha

Any news betty?

DTMSP - but I am an indecisive typical chick!!lol!!

Betty - has he text you? What have you decided?

hi betty any news?
tbh even if he does text i wouldnt accept a last minute date
he should be trying harder!
who does he think you are...betty no life or something!!!

Hi everyone. Happy St Patrick's day.

Betty, maybe he was showing his golfing buddies your profile.

Any news?

Well I've just had a text asking what time I'm thinking of coming?!! have cancelled babysitter and am not in the mood now anyway! bloody men!

If anyone is around do I text him back and tell him he should have contacted me or just make up an excuse?

Berry, I would text back and say that as he hadn't confirmed earlier you are unable to meet him or words to that effect.

Yeah have said something along those lines, was considering meeting him but babysitter has made other plans anyway.

Betty - what was his reaction?

Well I originally said sorry as he hadnt text me back i didnt think we were still meeting, he then said he thought we had arranged where to meet. So I thought maybe i shud try and meet him. I text my babysitter but she was now busy so told him that, he said i suppose im the sorry one for not texting you, and has said twice about arranging something else/doing it another time. So I've said I will leave it to him to suggest when.

betty - that seems fair enough...maybe give him one last try

if anyone's around could do with some help! just got an email (for a change not from anyone from france/italy/20 years older than me/with obvious 'issues') which basically why was someone as stunning as me still single, and what did he have to do to get a date with me?

(well, it made me smile anyway!)

what do i reply to that? the one thing I am crap at is witty banter!

have you replied yet?

no not yet, am trying to think of something half reasonable as a reply

tis at times like this I know exactly why I'm single!

failte monty
betty entirely your call here but imo he needs to sort it properly and with a few days notice for you
tbh his general attitude doesn't bode well..as i said before does he think your a no life..or a desp single mum grabbing onto any bit of male attention they can?!
seriously,keep on fishing, any interested bloke would have already secured the next date{apologies for sounding all american rules-y here}
hi sponge if you're interested send a polite few lines,if not ignore and block if needs be
it's not rude even if you feel that it is but that's how internet dating works
btw.saw your thread on secondary ed. didn't post but sounds v much like my dd @ primary school-a total lost year for her
anyhow...back to manfolk....!!

If it was me I'd probably say because I keep getting guys trying to chat me up with lines like that .... but then again, that's probably why I'm still single!

Hi Betty - well I hope he learns a lesson about not dithering.

Sponge - that's a lovely thing to say. Gosh what do you say back without sounding overly keen. Maybe just ask him where he lives and stuff, although that's probably on profile. Ermmmmm I know, we need Juice.

SM - have you firmed up your arrangements for Saturday.

ASBM - Slainte.

Hate 2nd that if you are interested tell him you are on there because you wondered if there is a diamond out there and he can have a date if he is. Something like that. He sounds a bit forward and cheesy for a first contact so tread with care.

Betty, keep fishing, if he really makes an effort for this next date then go.

asbm - no i think i might be interested, am just trying not to put him off immediately...which is what I normally do whether intentionally or not!

thanks re school thread, i worry maybe i am overanalysing, but being stuck in a crap hotel half the week gives me lots of time to think!

kdk - lol! Sadly I'm a sucker for a terrible line!

and when are we London girls all meeting up? end of April's good for me - how about 29th (which i think is a Thurs) - Monty? SCL? PMG? others??....

Hi Sponge - in that case say something like 'coz you're a woman of discernment who knows that the best things come to those who wait blah blah - and bet you say that to all the girls ...'

end of April works okay for me - got an assignment to complete by end of Easter holidays so will be (hopefully) done and dusted by then!

ohh i've been RL-ing big time so in need of a proper catch-up tbh, and i've been away from msn too

sm01 hope fri night's a good one and it wasn't me who asked if you were staying over btw lol
also noticed that lou has got boring coupled up....!!!!!

Thanks ladies, have left ball in his court and will not text him now uless i hear from him. If he is that bothered he will make more effort, and like you say I am still fishing cos if anything from this dating lark am learning lol

Sponge-I like kdk's reply ;)

monty-lol @ needing juice, where is she anyway? surely she doesnt have better things to do lol

singlemum-have u decided what u are doing yet on sat?

Hi eve and asbm

mont...thats so cheeky changing it to slainte...
sponge..you're his mum,trust your gut here you know your ds

Betty - deffo let him do the running. Like ASBM said, what does he think? You're going to sit around waiting for him to contact and book sitters with no firm plans. [Hmm] He needs to buck up his ideas if you ask me. Carry on fishing I say.

ASBM - but it still read ok kind of. Failte is Welcome. lol

Kdk - and London ladies, April fine with me.

Sponge - have you messaged him?
