Has no one beat me to it with a new thread yet?

lou33 · 22/04/2010 14:27

maybe he thinks your lack of reply meant you werent interested in seeing him again, so hasnt bothered?

why not text him to say hello if you want to remain in touch?

elastamum · 22/04/2010 14:30

Will do, thanks for your advice

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 22/04/2010 15:48

if you never replied to his text after he said he wanted to see you again i would also say he thinks your not interested. a "hi" wont go amiss to find out either way.

asbm - motorola.. dunno. he's making me cheesecake to bring over this wkd that agrees with my daft diet. but there's the odd wee thing i'm getting warning flags about. cant decide if i'm imagining them though.

the one thats really getting to me is his approval of white lies. i prefer down right honesty. on everything.

for example. he made scones other day. gave me ones his mum made. then when his mum snitched on him. he gave me one of his ones???

suppose its handy atm to scratch an itch. but keeping him at arms length till i see if he keeps doing it. i made it very clear i was not impressed by the deception.

thesouthsbelle · 22/04/2010 16:17

juicy - yeah I know, expect silence or really odd random texts now till he's back i'd say one a day and you're doing well tbh. re motorola - you know what we say - red flags - pay attention they're there for a reason. I also hate even white lies you need to know the guy you're seeing is up front with ya I think - is it a fundamental issue for you? if it is tell him to jog on.

lou - nout wrong with boring btw, however rod stewart - erm.... yup ok lol.

elast - yeah agreed hi and welcome drop him a friendly text?

sm - marine is RL (my gym instructor as well) partly why i've been reluctant before now as I really love his classes & the class in general even when he's not there so didn't want to make a tit of myself & then not be able to go as he teaches at all the local gyms as well doing that class. he's on my FB thou if you want a look - think something sweet n sickly.

so anyhow have we all brought our summer wardrobes yet then or not? i'm off out on weds to buy some new gear - what's hot this year then and what's not?

thesouthsbelle · 22/04/2010 16:17

oh and sm/dad1ch you 2 got your act together yet?!?

mrsmharket · 22/04/2010 16:34

ach i'm lost can't find anythign

aseriouslyblondemoment · 22/04/2010 16:45

juicy
maybe he did the thing with the scones as he's a pleaser iyswim and he's out of touch with relationships/dating etc?
but if it's an ongoing thing then it'd be a red flag for me too
lou lol @ bf offering you tickets to weedle his way into your good books.i reckon it'll be a top gig and he'll enjoy it, tho tbh i prefer his earlier stuff,but hey the man is a lege and a true entertainer

belle def wait for marine to ask..can you imagine how toe curlingly embarrassing it would be if he turned you down?

mrsmharket · 22/04/2010 16:45

hi janos have seen you on another thread i think

lou33 · 22/04/2010 16:53

i like the early stuff too, but it doesnt matter either way because we dont have any tickets

i make him suffer the threat of playing it in the car now heh

elastamum · 22/04/2010 16:55

Ok all, have sent him a text, now will just wait an see...........

lou33 · 22/04/2010 16:57

well done, at least you will know one way or another now

lou33 · 22/04/2010 17:00

oh btw, can you guys who are on my fb compliment me on the pics of my lovely tidier back garden please

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 22/04/2010 17:06

asbm - yeah. he does do and say things alot just to please. he's a good bloke. just not sure if its right for me.

elast - any reply yet?

lou - how you feeling today?

belle - yes ist is fundamental to me. tell truth or say nothing is my motto.

lou33 · 22/04/2010 17:13

juice i feel 100% shattered

i think it is because i havent been in any pain and therefore carried on dashing about doing stuff (though nothing heavy duty, just busy), and as soon as i was ok to drive yesterday, did so all day, ignoring the tellings off from bf and pleas to relax

so i have done nothing but sleep and lie about today

luckily the house is not a mess (yet) and the kids can take the dog for a walk

kdk · 22/04/2010 17:39

Hi all

hope you're all okay on this lovely Thursday evening - and Lou take it easy!

Just thought I'd share my latest message from Guardian soulmates - read it and weep ... warning it is looooooooooong

"I hope you are well on this warm spring evening. I wanted to write to you to say that I found your profile to be truly intriguing, and it certainly stuck a chord..

To tell you a little about myself, I am a single, in my mid 30's and living in London,
In terms of my interests, they range from theatre, world travel, history, spirituality, and as well as cooking, current affairs, alternative lifestyles and many more...

I found myself wondered what you find you have been ideally seeking in a future relationship?
To anwser this question myself, I have hoped to meet a woman who is unconventional, open minded and non-conformist. The type of woman who would adore a caring meaningful unconventional relationship, where she wishes to enjoy her independence and remain a true free spirit.
Where such a woman loves life, and would wish to befriend a male could become her friend, loyal companion and partner who respects her need for her freedom on all levels, whilst nurturing and developing a caring special connection.

It would be lovely to learn more about you, and to hear your thoughts, as we do seem to share interests in common "

Anyone got any short and sharp answers???

lou33 · 22/04/2010 17:40

sounds like he wants an open relationship to me

kdk · 22/04/2010 17:41

To make matters even worse he is a munter! Think that if bluebeard turns out, as I fear, to be a player/psycho/eejit, it is time for me to take a break from dating as it is starting to get on my wick again!

SingleMum01 · 22/04/2010 17:42

Belle - yes we chatted on msn earlier!

kdk · 22/04/2010 17:42

I wouldn't even want a closeted relationship with him!

lou33 · 22/04/2010 17:44

tell him you think he sent the email to you by mistake

kdk · 22/04/2010 17:47

have to say I'm not sure what on earth has given him the impression that I would be interested in him or his 'caring special connection'.

tbh feel like telling him to go and pay a professional and leave other women alone!

thesouthsbelle · 22/04/2010 17:52

sm - go you 2. lol.

kdk - agree with lou. I'd prob just block tbh (but then i'm shallow and block at the drop of a hat lol.)

juicy - tbh chick pleaser or not if it's a fundamental for you is there much point carrying on with it - to go down the forces route i'd say extreme caution but up to you.

elast - good luck.

lou - get those feet back up mrs!!!

blondie - yeah I know that's my thoughts lol. esp as it's quite a small tight class & the same faces each time. what's happening with you anyhow?

thesouthsbelle · 22/04/2010 17:53

hahaha I dare ya to do that and tell us the reply.

just picked out an outfit as well for night 1 of butlins adult only w.e woohoo! YAY for hooters.

SingleMum01 · 22/04/2010 18:01

Belle - don't go buying your hat, it was only a chat!

Texted older bloke earlier to put my point of view and say I wouldn't text him again. Didn't think I'd hear again and thought that would be the last of it, he text later to say was in a meeting but would text this evening, probably to put his point of view I may need some hugs later

kdk · 22/04/2010 18:38

sure dad2 will oblige

ok belle will do
