hi all,
still to catch up. i've mised loads. did a brief skim.
ninah - go meet handsome farmer. the crazies make for memorable dates
lou - 18 .. but hoping your enjoying your childfree time.
asbm
lou - oh my... even i would have beenembarassed by him friends turning up?? where they unexpected and he let them in?????? or did you bump into them somewhere?
scl - good you are avoiding texting exbf. well done statying on SOH bandwagon.
belle - it might not have been round robin. dont be too sensitive/analytical.
monty - pass some chocolate eggs this way. i'm not allowed any in RL with this blooming gi/diabetic diet.
kdkd - just cause he's short doesn't mean he will be an arse. see what he's like after few emails. but i'd ask outright if he will have an issue with you being taller with heels. thats your giveaway there. if he says yes.. and you must wear flats to a date... run like the wind from angry small man.
betty - hows your wkd gone .. you had a busy social life this easter if i remember correctly?
piate/cake - good you can found out that your potential dates haven't been emailing every chick same thing on site.
as for me.
went on date. total opposite of the guy. he was a town body. i am a country bumpkin. plus.... he spoke badly of his ex who is mother of their dc. i hate that . such a horrible trait.
then... left there direct and went to meet forces at airport.
there was some proper apologies. alot of discussions, alot of things explained from both sides.
it's a weird one ladies.
normal life to him is now army life.
what we consider normal, alot of it he has never done in his life due to growing up in a very very small town in NZ, then into army as teenager.
for example... sat we went to supermarket, big giant wallmart variety.
this was a new experience to him. he was amazed at the sheer size of it.
his only experiences of shopping is his tiny town in nz, the bases in the army places he's lived, and shops in edi. which are all in the old histroic buildings in the city centre.
for someone who has travelled the world with his job. and done some things i could never even force myself to do has done.
he's scared shitless by the normal stuff.
imagine that combined with never having relationship over 3 months too.
ladies... anything and everything we take for granted that we do is something he has never set eyes upon!!
filling your own diesel (pump attendant in nz and always used public transport here)
ice skating rinks
indoor swimming pools
he went bowling for the first time with his brother start of the week!!
but.. for a bloke he can do some things other wouldn't is for sure.
he can horse ride......
so basically... he asked if i would give him another chance. called himself lots of bad names and said "sorry" ... do men actually apologise and admit they are wrong.. i have never met one of these before
and it has been given on the basis it's the very last. and i wont be tolerating him"getting scared".. and pissing off and disappearing when it becomes too much.
told him if he's in for the journey then he must try whole heartedly and make a good effort.
so we had all wkd together. kids came back this morning. he stayed. met them. and i dropped him through in edi to meet his friends this afternoon.
so... just need to wait and see what happens this week while he's still in scotland.
