Eve - I feel the same way but I would prefer a shag in a nice room rather then a cold car

Remotew · 20/03/2010 22:00

Right now I wouldn't care where it was just who with.

Betty79 · 20/03/2010 22:35

lol eve i havent seen titanic in years. My dc's watch it when they go to my mums, and my mum turns it off at the end before they all die lol

louison-What's wrong with a shag in a cold car lol?

Well i've been chatting to someone new from pof will call him estateagent cos that's what he does lol seems really nice, not bad looking been chatting on msn for over an hr and has asked to meet so will keep u all posted!

hatesponge · 20/03/2010 23:12

excellent news betty!

have this evening exchanged a couple of emails with guy on match who's a gardener...might have potential, have always fancied myself as a bit of a lady chatterley lol

also..remember ddg man from the other night? went on tonight and he had winked at me. again. so i winked back, and then he winked again.

does he have some form of winking tourettes or should i just take the plunge and email him? what do i say? i NEVER send the first email!

Betty79 · 20/03/2010 23:17

is he a full member sponge? cos i'm not and it was only the other day i realised they had changed it and u can message people who are full members even if u are not! maybe he thinks all he can do is wink

hatesponge · 20/03/2010 23:26

oh thats a point... i think he's a newish member so he might not know that (I didnt know about that change either tbh - so does that mean if i email him and hes not a full member, he can still read it and reply?)

shall i email him then? He is rather lovely

piratecat · 21/03/2010 08:36

a new rule on match? it it like the offside rule, and i'm not gonna understand it??

SingleMum01 · 21/03/2010 08:46

Morning everyone,

Betty - great news, when's the date?

Sponge - go for it.

I have a big smile on my face after last night's date

lou33 · 21/03/2010 09:27

Tell us more. I need something to distract me from noticing I am up and have walked the puppy already this morning. Mechanic would do it but he is working today

piratecat · 21/03/2010 09:40

ooh singlemum, big grins are good, do share then!

I need some self worth/positive talk from lou33, She has balls, I know it. Am trying not to look at my phone for text from new man who is actually busy on moorland.

morning,

oooh everyone seems to be doing well at this date finding lark.

sponge it's glad to see the one date where you found he was interested in you gave you confidence boost ... hope you emailed ddg.. go for it.

lou - are the kids still in bed? should have sent one of them on walkies.

betty - any date arranged from trucker yet. he seems very last minute for dates. not really possible as you need baby sitters.

pc - when do you see nm again?

sm01 - more date details oplease

piratecat · 21/03/2010 09:45

yep, it's a gorgeous day today. Spent yesterday avvy indoors doing plate painting at local art cafe, as it was raining. DD loved it tho, I wasn't keen on the price omfg!!

I think i am going to go to the beach, see the sea. Lou33, could do with your dog!!

SingleMum01 · 21/03/2010 10:12

ok more 5th date details! he picked me up so I managed to have a drink (but restrained myself and didn't have too much). He'd looked gorg, had to stop myself jumping on him there and then! We had a lovely indian then went for a drink after. He's so easy to talk to and be myself. He dropped me off but didn't come in (I'd already said my mum was babysitting). We had a good old snog and he asked if I wanted to do it again - so of course I said yes (am hoping he meant the going out and the snog!). We then had a few late night texts!

Trying to just enjoy it as it is without any expectations, but it is lovely. Trying to keep a bit back, still wary of getting hurt again.

Betty79 · 21/03/2010 10:19

Oooh it's lovely here today too, was planning on taking kids swimming but might go for a walk instead.

Well have arranged a date with estateagent fri night as long as I can get a babysitter. We chatted for over 2 hours on msn which is a good sign for me, and have seen a couple of pics.

sponge-sorry i didnt reply i went to bed! did u email him? If not then do it today!! As for match someone winked at me and i noticed the blue box in corner saying connect or something when i looked at it it said cos they are a paid up member i was free to email them.

sm01-come on we need more details than that lol

pirate-yeah u shud get out and leave pohne at home/or on silent all day!

juice-not heard from trucker since fri, he didnt ask me last time for last min dates so think he's prob just not that interested. I'll not be asking him anyway but may consider it still if he does ask....

lou-Aww I bet ur puppy is so cute! even if it does wee on beds

piratecat · 21/03/2010 11:25

singlemum, sounds like you had a lovely lovely evening!

I got my text btw, he had to go to the top of a hill to send it lol.

Betty, i hope you get your sitter and you get to talk this new one more this week.

right, done all the washing, time to shower and get out in the sunshine.

SingleMum01 · 21/03/2010 14:23

Betty - what else do you want to know?!

UnattendedToaster · 21/03/2010 14:41

Thought I'd join here - no sign of anyone fit OR interesting on the horizon though, just one would do!

SingleMum01 · 21/03/2010 14:47

welcome to the thread UT

UnattendedToaster · 21/03/2010 15:30

Thanks singlemum - I've not tried online dating yet, just working up the nerve, and trying to read through this whole thread (think I'll have to give the other 17 a miss for right now).

Betty79 · 21/03/2010 15:59

sorry singlemum you must have posted whilst I was typing out my last message lol I didnt see what you had put! Sounds like a fab date, and more to come

just got back from a long walk through local country park, kids are nice and tired now lol but so am i!

Dollytwat · 21/03/2010 16:59

singlemum it all sounds very exciting, when are you going out again?

I'm feeling more positive about internet dating after reading all these lovely stories, might get a bit more engaged in the emails, rather than the quick read and reply I'm doing at the moment!

Doll-I've met 4 people from online now and 5th will be this fri. It can be a bit hit and miss but I've def learnt a few things so far!

hi uber-get urself on some of the free sites and at least have a look. You never know, some people hate the free online sites but i think it depends on your area as well as to how many people use it.

SingleMum01 · 21/03/2010 18:09

Dolly - haven't arranged next date yet, just that we will be having one! Interestingly its my birthday next weekend so see what happens!
