hi all, I posted this seperately, but thought I could get some wisdom here too!! As I know this is the place where the dating talk happens.
I have now maybe met someone, and I am absolutely terified of the whole deal. I don't want to scare him off.

I had a date, and it went lovely, but proceeded to well up during a bit of conversation. he was fine about this.

I am very surprised by my feelings, like insecurities, when i feel i have become such an independant person these past 5 yrs! It's like a whole other world.

Plus I cannot belive how naive i feel regarding the whole dating thing!

thesouthsbelle · 18/03/2010 08:05

hi all am floating about still.

not much going on,

will catch up properly tonight after work.

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 18/03/2010 08:44

morning all!!

come on... it was st patricks day..... i'm scottish(celtic roots you know)... i was in an irish bar, then went to see paloma faith concert.

only had the one shandy

hey... if anyone sees her showing near you... go see her. she's good on cd, but truly amazing voice live. she's got a wicked sense of humour too. fab person to stump up ticket price, and not bad at £12.50 considering the price of some other concerts on.

sponge - soooo.. what did you say, i would have recommended something along lines of you can find out a bit about someones personaluity and humour through email before giving out your phone number to a random like you have to if you meet someone in a bar and want to get to know them.

or simply "because i'm fussy... think your brave enough?"

but anyway.. did he reply. and i also want a perve look.

but if not him... deffo from DDG guy

how is everyone?

i'm off to private chiropractor, got a little twinge in my back still from coming off that horse last year. NHS services are useless. been told about some new doctor using canadian methods. £35 and he does a scan of your spine and checks it all out. then gives you report. up to you what , and how much, of the treatment you go for.

piratecat - are you feeling insecure because of the way he contacts you? or some way he treats you? or worried he isn't going to stay with you? or.. there is a bijillion reasons why.... need more explanation to why you feel this way?

a good relationship should not leave you feeling insecure in any way.

normal to feel scard of getting hurt from putting your feelings on the line. not good to be feeling insecure.

Morning all,

Betty - has he text?

Sponge - any news from ddg?!

PirateCat - its a roller coaster isn't it! How many dates have you had? Have you arranged to meet again?

Had decided on a nice indian place in my town last night - then a mate told me it had closed! So thinking of going for a cosy country pub between town. That way, he can't pick me up or drop me off so I don't have to think about inviting him in!! Plus I won't get too p'd and talk crap!! What do you reckon?

Wish he'd decide, always asks me to make the choice - I guess he's being considerate, but it may get on my nerves as I don't know what he'd really like to do. As its a Sat he may want to go into town.

I'm out Fri night for a pizza night with the girlies so I'll be knackered Sat anyway and stink of garlic - lovely!

aseriouslyblondemoment · 18/03/2010 09:53

hi pc
agree with what juicy says really
it's understandable to feel wary,nervous etc tho so don't be too hard on yourself
sm01 you don't sound too enthusiastic about this bloke

SingleMum01 · 18/03/2010 09:59

ASBM - its still early days and I'm keeping my options open! Bit like pc says - wary of getting into something I suppose. He has good points though too!

aseriouslyblondemoment · 18/03/2010 10:15

i like it lol

SingleMum01 · 18/03/2010 10:31

ASBM - do you reckon a cosy country pub is okay for a Sat night?

aseriouslyblondemoment · 18/03/2010 10:51

i'd be up for that

SingleMum01 · 18/03/2010 10:59

ASBM - you want to come to?! Ta

aseriouslyblondemoment · 18/03/2010 11:10

isn't 3 meant to be a crowd?!

SingleMum01 · 18/03/2010 11:14

yeh you may feel like a gooseberry! on another note, do you know how I can check out an address of where someone (XH)lives when they're not on the electoral role. I need a map type site with numbers of houses on.

aseriouslyblondemoment · 18/03/2010 11:42

i don't sadly
def worth starting a thread tho as i'm sure that some wise MN-er will know

lou33 · 18/03/2010 12:57

Asbm you describe me perfectly! I dont know whats happened to me but I like it ( and am going to get v fit now the puppy can go on walks)

I am in bed by ten most nights now lol

Monty100 · 18/03/2010 13:06

Lou - you sound really content. Rofl at staying up until 11pm seeming hedonistic.

SMO1 - cosy country pub sounds lovely.

Juice - at Irish bar. I was too exhausted to do anything. Had bacon and cabbage for dinner though.

Sponge - any news?

SCL - all ok? Mr Yorke leaving you alone?

Hi ASBM, Belle, Pirate and everyone.

Janos has gone very quiet, and so has Ninah.

SingleMum01 · 18/03/2010 13:36

cosy pub doesn't take bookings grrrrr

Monty100 · 18/03/2010 14:30

SM01 - risk it or a change of plan? What ya wearin'???? lol (on date that is).
