[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.

Hello all. Glad to hear things going well.

Just back from the days sporting events with ds's - sponge wondered if you were at marathon ground?

We set out at ten thirty this morning so am knakckered.

Back later after tea !

Glad you got a text pirate . I still think none of you should give up. If I can find someone at the age me 43 who isnt scared by my age and the fact I have four kids then there must be hope for everyone. Took me a while tho.

The puppy has been very good today. Two walks no accidents in the house. Bf is still utterly lovely too, I do like a man who sweeps my yard for me lol

evening everyone! am currently halfway to yorkshire on the train....thank god for wi-fi

sm01 - sounds like date went well..when are you seeing him next, or did I miss that bit?

betty - good news re friday night date!

pirate - glad you got your text...I always hate the waiting part.

scl - no, I wasnt there, was it a tournament? DS1 has left his team now, am trying to persuade him to go to rugby (which given his size and strength I think he would be great at) but he's not sure...DS2 had a home match but the Ex's girlfriend was going so I gave it a miss (as am trying to be good and not wind either of them up atm due to ongoing 'negotiations' over our house!) at least the weather was ok for it though...

ddg man has winked at me again. think i have to email him now, however still not sure what to put....

sponge - how about something along lines of "so now we've established we're both proficient winkers.. how about we discover how good a conversationalist we are.......etc etc etc etc "

and everyone seems much more upbeat about their dating

hello all, sorry to hear your news lou2 dumping by email is the bits
and monty have you had words with ds yet?
hate, it's good you had a date but he does sound bleurgh, sorry about that
sm1 great news
asbm thanks for the ireland tips!
is interesting to know you can contact pple on match now without paying. so in theory you could give them your email and not have to subscribe, am I right?
mind you i am finding ebay better than sex these days (not the shabby stuff lol) it's quite a buzz going right to the wire

sorry pits, not bits

Ninah - I lurve ebay! So addictive, such a buzz when you're in a bidding war!

Just had a text

sm01 ooh that leaves plenty of opportunity for him to spoil you, you have told him it's your birthday haven't you!

Betty I tried internet dating a few years ago and was really disappointed, only went on about 4 dates though. I just found myself driving to some country pub miles away thinking I'd rather be out with my real friends! So I don't think I was in the right frame of mind to date really.

Everyone here seems really upbeat about it, and I do have somewhere to share my funny stories now and see what everyone else thinks!

Texts and dates galore! I am glad it's all working out and people are having fun.

next date Thurs

Well trucker has text today, and asked me to talk to him on msn tonight so did so for a while. Invited me round for a brew his words 'when u have some free time' erm said i rarely just have free time lol so have said will try and get a sitter and meet him for pub quiz again wed. I do kinda think ninah has him right he's a bit clumsy/shy well either that or thick lol

still planning to meet estateagent fri too, have been talking to him tonight as well on msn ha ha

singlemum-sounds like it's going well

ninah-i did that with the bloke who messaged me, gave him my email and he has emailed me a few times.

scl-good to hear from you

monty-have u heard from ds?

sponge-come on get emailing ddg man!!

oh right, so you can date for free! well now, if it saves money, it would be wrong not to!
I have to sort myself out this summer.
(curtsies to Queen Betty)

ok, well have emailed.....now have to wait and see if I get a reply.

He is so lovely. I'd be happy just to get one date with him, even if he has the personality of a turnip, just looking at him for a night would be worth it

(and he's smiling in his photos, lots of lovely white teeth so definitely no dental issues!)

I give up

He has just winked at me again.

Hatesponge, he could be mass winker. Take it with a pinch of salt at this stage. If he doesn't reply then shout next. If he does then hope he is worthy of you.

how odd sponge......as eve says take it with a pinch of salt

place marking

i gto kissed on friday but no date

mrs m
do elaborate lol

Woo woo! Kissed by who?

well i's someone i've known for about a year and back in sept finally told him i liked him and said how would he feel if i asked him out. he replied thta he woudl be flattered but it wasn't the right time for him emotionally. fair enough. and i thought that was the end of it, like you would.

(bit of long story maybe)
however, i recently bought some knee high boots (cos i like them, not for any ulterior motive type reasons )
anyway. last week, i wore my jeans tucked into my boots and my new jacket when i picked up dd from school (as i have done before - so no ulterior motive there either well maybe a little ) and he happened to get back early from work and he saw me, i said hi and pretended to bne soooooo interested in getting the front door open cos i could feel eyes boring into my arse back of my head and i went in with dd. i thought that was that, as you do.

cut to friday, dd was at her dads and we had a text convo and he then asked if i wanted to pop round for cuppa (as i have done before - with and without dd) so i didn't think anythign of it, just chucked boots on (jeans outside this time which he noticed and commented on - just remembered that he'd sent about 3 texts commenting on boots week before). we were chatting and then ended up chucking cushions at each other, i got bit hurt so he kissed the top of my head and i pretedned not to notice so he did it again and hugged me. then he kept blowing on the back of my neck which i really like so i told himnot to do that which of course he did even more ahem. and we ended up proper snogging

but nothing's been relaly said since. some of my friends have said softly softly but i'm confused - he gave the impression of just wanting to be friends and then friday happened. they're just normal boots but man, i knew those boots might be dangerous but not how much lol

sorry for long post
arrrrrggggggghhh i have to stop thinking of him

oooh....how EXCITING!!

yeah i kinda hate feeling like this the washhign machine stomach type feeling

i can't even spell now lol

but it's nice tho lol
fingers crossed that you'll be joining the ranks of the coupled up set on this thread
what's this bloke's history...besides the obv.boot fetish
sm01 so can you give him bf status now?
