Thanks South, I know what you are all advising but what is the worst than can happen?

thesouthsbelle · 23/04/2010 21:57

honestly, you can feel 100 times crapper if you get too attached.

if you think you're able to handle it on a NSA FB basis then by all means. but tbh I don't like the sounds of him. easy for us all to say thou I know, hard to actually do it thou isn't it.

to be too hard on yourself thou - have wine n choc's - the answer to everything.

piratecat · 23/04/2010 22:03

SingleMum01 · 23/04/2010 22:07

Ooh I have a lovely fireman messaging me!

Monty100 · 23/04/2010 22:10

I'll endorse the five year healing process too.

And it's been 13 for me .

thesouthsbelle · 23/04/2010 22:11

are you not 27 then monty?

5 years healing from divorce then - is that how long it takes?

SingleMum01 · 23/04/2010 22:16

I agree with the 5 years. I've been divorced 5 years, although I had a fling with a lawyer during the divorce

Monty100 · 23/04/2010 22:24

Belle - I'm afraid not .

SM - lol at fling with the lawyer. pmsl

Eve - you have the hots lady. He sounds gorgeous. Please don't get hurt though.

Monty100 · 23/04/2010 22:26

Pirate - 'perplexilated' I'm like that word and want to use it. What does it mean?

sincitylover · 23/04/2010 22:28

Hi everyone - god so much is happening here. Can't keep up.

Not much happening with me tbh. Have changed my mobile as Mr Yorke still ringing/texting. Psychologically feels alot better.

Don't have dcs tomorrow night so will come back with a bigger response tomorrow.

Eve - has athletic moved in - be careful.

Sponge - at ex stealing furniture.

Kdk - lol at smug mum seeing you nr pub

Still getting messages on sites but none that take my fancy.

I am happy to go with that until I see someone who does.

Did text exbf my change of no. but otherwise still SOH.

Remotew · 23/04/2010 22:31

Monty . You are being quiet and not going out then WHAM!! You meet someone and it throws you off course.

I do reckon on the five year though it's a lot of wasted years. but that is life. xxx

Remotew · 23/04/2010 22:35

SCL waving! Will say that your facebook photos don't do you justice. Seen you on the vid and you are fantastic, as is hate. Go girls, you are lovely and have a great setup.

hatesponge · 23/04/2010 22:38

Re the 5 year thing was a bit different for me and Ex as I knew after 3 months it was all wrong, yet somehow it limped on for another 8 years. For the last 3 of those I definitely knew it was a case of when we split rather than if

what do we think of this...wedding man & I have emailed a bit & exchanged a few texts, tho not spoken yet - he text me earlier today to say he would be online tonight (we generally seem to miss each other) anyway no sign of him - then just got a text saying sorry, he'd gone out & would catch me another time....

is that good or bad? it's all a bit slow for me tbh - by now I've usually met them, not liked then - or vice versa - and moved on to the next!

SingleMum01 · 23/04/2010 22:39

Monty - free legal advice!! and thanks x

piratecat · 23/04/2010 22:46

ok ladies.

I am still laughing.

what a tool!!

enjoy
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Remotew · 23/04/2010 22:47

hate, go with your instincts on this one. Until you meet in the flesh you have no way of no-ing how it is going to go so wait until then and don't invest too much time with someone. You are a yummy mummy and are the buyer not the seller. x

Remotew · 23/04/2010 22:51

I reckon I should go off this thread as I hate internet dating. I trust my luck to go on a night out and look where it gets me

SingleMum01 · 23/04/2010 22:59

PC - OMG he lurves himself!

hatesponge · 23/04/2010 23:00

eve - lol at me being a yummy mummy...in my dreams! thats made me laugh more than I have in weeks! (and please bear in mind that video of me is ever so blurry no comment on monty's photography skills....!)

Am not sure I'm cut out for internet either. I can reject men in the flesh for the most arbitrary reasons, thats why I tend to like to get any meeting out the way pronto because I know most times I wont like them however well we've got on beforehand.

Having said that just got an email from the Linden lookalike...might reconsider my stance!

piratecat · 23/04/2010 23:04

piratecat · 23/04/2010 23:14
