sm and dad2 - have you still not hooked up yet on chat/msn

belle - mmmm. personally from what you have told me. i would say leave marine to do the running.i'd advise dont ask him on date. let him ask you. but make sure to let him know when you have next dc free time when your having a convo at gym.

suppose i was thawing a little to forces. but then came to my senses in the early hours of them morning when i was revising and he'd been trying his damndest all day to get in good books and told him to back off as he wasn't being fair

dad2chchalk · 22/04/2010 11:55

I'm still waiting (woah oh uh ohhhhh)

thesouthsbelle · 22/04/2010 12:02

sm - erm.. have known him for about 18 months ish but only really to talk to since xmas and more so since prob end of Jan ish, more so over the last 2 months or so.

Juicy - think that's the way forward as well - kid gloves are to be needed with him, but well tbh - he's the one where the biggest soft spot lays - even after meeting farmer etc. which again brings me to the point of how d'ya drop it into the convo about being boyless? - usually there's a group & lots of laughing. god i'm so crap at RL dating/talking etc. give me online any time of the day. he's getting a bit touchy feely thou - that's good right?

ref forces - he should back off and respect your choice there chick. have you heard from him today?

aseriouslyblondemoment · 22/04/2010 12:04

lou33 · 22/04/2010 12:04

blimey this has sped along with an injection of testosterone

i slept like the dead last night, just about managed to get up for the school run and fell asleep again until about half an hour ago! i think the rushing about definitely caught up with me

or maybe it was my nod to exercising by being persuaded into getting these yesterday

it's about as much as i am prepared to do fitness wise

aside from that i have no news

boring now me

aseriouslyblondemoment · 22/04/2010 12:05

juice i think that forces is way out of order too esp after the shoddy way he behaved

aseriouslyblondemoment · 22/04/2010 12:07

nowt wrong with being boring lou
i think you and i are both quite content to have it this way nowadays

dad2chchalk · 22/04/2010 12:15

Where's sm gone? I'm kinda pining here

SingleMum01 · 22/04/2010 12:16

Dad2 - what's going on?? Messaged you, didn't you get it?

Belle - is marine through RL or site?

lou33 · 22/04/2010 12:28

asbm, i even said out loud today that i was contemplating doing some ironing

i havent done it for about 7 yrs

dad2chchalk · 22/04/2010 12:30

No idea!? Received nothing - just send me a good old fashioned email to mark at mark hyphen wasley dot co dot uk x

elastamum · 22/04/2010 12:30

Hi All,

Have been lurking on here for a while, can I join in?

Have just started dating again and am on GSM. I am a bit of a newby to this having been married for 10 years and got divorced last year. Have had a few dates but find it all a bit stressful TBH as no idea what the 'rules' of dating are anymore!

Met nice bloke last week who seemed keen and said he wanted to go out again and would be in touch but heard nothing, at what point do you all just give up and move on??!!

dad2chchalk · 22/04/2010 12:31

Scrub that, just found it in my junk mail (don't take it personally x)

lou33 · 22/04/2010 12:43

hi elasta

i dont think there are any rules really aside from only do what you feel comfortable with

wrt this guy, is it worth contacting him or are you not that fussed?

aseriouslyblondemoment · 22/04/2010 12:45

lol lou am imagining you in your cath kidston pinny now
hi elastamum!tbh if you've heard nothing by tonight i'd just move onto the next one..never accept last min dates imho..men need to know that elastamum has a life!!

SingleMum01 · 22/04/2010 12:47

Welcome elastamum - what is GSM? This dating thing is bloody hard isn't it!

When did you see your nice bloke?

lou33 · 22/04/2010 12:57

this is more me

(actually i am wondering if i should get it lol)

aseriouslyblondemoment · 22/04/2010 13:03

yep!!
meant to ask you,did bf manage to get hold of rod stewart tickets for you?
dp failed miserably with stereophonics tickets

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 22/04/2010 13:14

elastamum... anymore than 3 days without contact i'd move on too. unless he reappears with a genuine excuse and promise of wineing and dining for his bfs(broken finger syndrome)

lou ironing ... i hate it. but has to be done.

belle - no haven't heard from him today, but he went "bush" early hours of this morning .. that'll make sense to you. so not he'll struggle for phone for a few days minimum.

asbm - yes. shoddy. but the other not so shoddy behaviour he has shown previous, kind of causes me to be

aseriouslyblondemoment · 22/04/2010 13:18

juicy but where does this leave motorola?

aseriouslyblondemoment · 22/04/2010 13:33

ninah do you still have the same email addie?

lou33 · 22/04/2010 13:52

haha asbm, funnily enough he was reminded of that the other day, when he finally admitted he doesnt actually like the bloke, just thought it would make me like him more by offering

just as well it worked and he has other talents aside from ticket buying eh lol

elastamum · 22/04/2010 13:55

Hi All thanks for the advice. Am on Gaurdian website. He is very nice but also out of the country a lot on business. We have been chatting on and off for about 3-4 weeks and finally managed to meet on Sunday when we found a day we were both around and I didnt have the kids in tow - I have also been away quite a bit. He did send me a nice follow up text, saying he wanted to meet again, but I do think if he really means it he would act on it. He hasnt got any kids and I wonder if he is looking for someone a bit more unattached than me. I know he isnt out of the country this week as no planes! what do you think?

lou33 · 22/04/2010 14:18

did you reply to him when he said he would like to see you again?
maybe he is waiting for you to say ok so he or you can say when?

elastamum · 22/04/2010 14:20

No, he said he would be in touch to arrange to meet again but I havent heard from him so I havent replied
