yes agree about the child thing, as i was once chatting to a man a few yrs (sigh i know!)ago and i was really annoyed he hadn't mentioned he had kids. yet thats just my point of view, as a loved up mummy!

Can I date this Polish man peeps? if it gets that far of course.

piratecat · 24/04/2010 09:44

oh and dad2, I sent him a hello on the datesite saying i was a mnetter on this thread, but no reply of hello back. just for those who are a bit about him.

of COURSE there are a million reasons why he wouldn't obv get back to me, but just thought i'd mention.

Interesting pc! What dating sites to people use?

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 24/04/2010 10:02

sm - do you mean which sites are we using?

pirate - motorola is boyf, he's getting on my wik. thought it was just becuase i had stopped smoking. but it seems to be getting a longer list of annoying things than better. he's a really really great guy, very attracted to him, no complaints in that department.. but i can only take him in short doses at the mo.

he knows he's doing things that i'm struggling with.... but rather than not do them... he continues doing them anyway and then just apologises prefusely.

i cant be doing with this. i'm not a parrot. i wont keep repeating myself. i know what i need to do. let him go and find someone who doesn't mind his annoying things and have a really great boyf in him.. he's just not for me i'm afraid.

i just need to find the moment to do it now my exam is over.

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 24/04/2010 10:06

pirate - i vote yes for the polish... if he's fit, interesting, available (and can speak english[wink)... then he meets the criteria.

SingleMum01 · 24/04/2010 10:11

Juice - yes I do!

Was motorola the one who did the baby talk too??

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 24/04/2010 10:21

up in scotland pof is only one you need. not really oneone on the others. but i'd say internet dating is pretty much the norm up here now though. everyone does it. so they all just use pof as its free.

yes.. motorola was baby talk. he's trying not to do it. but still does the odd time. even after being told rather bluntly that it isn't exactly a turn on a few days ago?? thought that should be a little too far.. but might get my point accross.. but.. no, he did it yesterday on phone. then apologised??.

Remotew · 24/04/2010 10:22

Sorry ladies, was a bit drunk last night. He turned up after I'd gone to bed. Let's see if I am anymore sucessful at getting rid today! Or should I just accept that I have to put up with him for a little while longer.

Lou I'm sure will have a straight answer to that.

Remotew · 24/04/2010 10:24

Sorry Juice meant to ask if you are keeping or binning Motorola.

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 24/04/2010 10:27

think i may have to bin.. not 100% on it yet though. see how i feel over the wkd.

piratecat · 24/04/2010 10:29

i sam still not understanding the 'garage' thing with him!

juice, he is fit, interesting and the english is a bit lacking, but not for wnat of trying, yet he lives a good 2.5 hours away.

works like a dog, has a wife, he is split from, but still living with cos they have a rented house. He is polite, funy and did i say 'fit' ?

These things happen re living arrangements, you see it all the time on here. and the fact he IS miles away is a good thing right now imo, cos i think i would have tried to shag him by now!!

Mororola, seems kinda needy, and whislt he is fit, I guess if the other things don't amuse you much then there isn't alot you can do!!

lou33 · 24/04/2010 11:44

eve, fgs, lets pretend someone else was postiong the same situation...

a very lovely looking young man, who obviously knows it and uses it to his advaantage, meets an attractive older woman who happens to have enough space to put him up whenever he needs somewhere to crash , and will cook and clean and do laundry for him as well, not forgetting allowing him to bring mates round

all he has to do in return is deploy his charm tactic to get an really cushy number

what would you say to them?

if he is that attractive you can be damned well sure he will be aware of it and already worked out how to use it to his advantage

stop doing anything for him

stop giving in to him and let him see if he thinks you are worth making effort for just because he likes you

i do hope if you shagged him you left him ruined tho and then booted him out immediately, he hasnt earned the right to languish at yours

lou33 · 24/04/2010 11:49

juice, mechanic calls me so much he has gone over his allocated 600mins per month on his contract phone!

plus the texts

but i dont find it irritating, though previously with anyone else i would have done, i do have to admit

maybe its showing you that you arent that into him after all, or else you wouldnt be so fed up with it?

i have to admit the baby talk would do my head in, mechanic has a funnier way of talking to me that amuses me

he says stuff like "get into bed woman ffs cant you see i'm waiting"

aseriouslyblondemoment · 24/04/2010 11:51

post of the week there from lou
oh eve how are you feeling this morning..you did keep us all entertained last night lol

lou33 · 24/04/2010 11:54

and that bloke in the link is ROTTEN

i hope none of you know him irl or i will have to backtrack furiously

piratecat · 24/04/2010 11:57

he is that lou. asking for trouble if he designs his own website. PLus not a very good advertisement for his web design business, looks like he did it in 'paint' .haha

beeatch me.

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 24/04/2010 11:58

lou - see lots of contact doesn't bother me if its witty and amusing... but i really dont need a text saying "off on my break".. "its sunny".."i've just a bcon sandwich".

wtf is point in that?

piratecat · 24/04/2010 12:01

haha juice, yes a bit annoying, and too clingy.

lou33 · 24/04/2010 12:05

lol no i get cheeky texts, he calls me to tell me that kind of stuff

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 24/04/2010 12:23

i think what makes it worse is when i consider it to the text conversation i had with irish yesterday.... "how can i get my train journey for free"... it ranged from bribery to fraud with a bit of naughtiness in the middle.. that was a good 20-30 texts on my 40 min train journey.... that was welcome.. i cant ever think of receiving a text from motorola that actually made me laugh out loud on reading.

truth is...one of my fav bit of a relationship is receiving those random texts when your busy doing something that have you pissing yourself laughing and distracting you from what your doing.

Remotew · 24/04/2010 12:23

Constant contact annoys me but it depends who it is from.

Lou, I know I've completely lost it over this one. He knows how to use his looks to his advantage, you are right and I'm guessing that if he was sorted out I wouldn't see him for dust. Since he became needy we haven't had any kind of relationship. I just couldn't due to the situation and with DD in the house. Last night was different and admit we had a cuddle through the night. .

I am serious now though and he is going today. It's getting ridiculous.

lou33 · 24/04/2010 12:37

but that cuddle through the night is him again getting his way by using what he thinks you want to his advantage

and you gave in

and he has no doubt worked out that he can most likely keep getting you to give in ad infinitum, unless you just fuck him off and cut ties totally, imvho

juice i love those kinds of texts

bf texts me every morning when he gets to work, but doesnt expect a reply as he knows i will be drooling on my pillow

he still texts me to say how much he fancies me or loves me, or do i fancy a piece later that day (do fish swim?)

the phone calls are usually just because we both have a few mins to spare and catching up, him asking about the kids and the dog, me asking about work etc

changing the subject totally, i feel knackered again today, and i was in bed by 10ish

Remotew · 24/04/2010 13:54

Lou, your bf is lovely .

Athletic knows I won't whispers do it! But he knows a kiss and cuddle will win me over atm.

lou33 · 24/04/2010 14:26

he KNOWS, see?

make sure you keep in charge of this eve!

Betty79 · 24/04/2010 14:27

Hi Ladies just checking in, date with goggles was a bit unexciting, wasnt bad looking but wasnt really attracted to him and he didnt seem as funny in real life either lol maybe he was shy but anyway, didnt stay too long got taxi home at 11.

Whilst I was there boilerman text me to tell me he's not working away next week and would still like to go out (I didnt text him baxck whilst i was there lol), so poss meeting him tues or wed. I've seen a lot more pics of boilerman cos he's on my fb but I've also seen pics of his ex wife and she's stunning!
