Quick potted history. With boyfriend 9 months. Not that serious but we had had the exclusive talk. Met on a dating site.

About a month ago had a feeling something wasn't right. Few nights he was supposed to be here and cancelled for dopey reasons that set my spidey sense tingling.

Looked on the dating site and lo and beholdy there is was, active, having logged in in the last 24 hours.

But I am not as stupid as he thinks I am.

I set up a profile called thisblokeliesandcheats (it's been taken down) with all his details except photo and spelled out what he'd done (thanks whoever that was who suggested that one) and I will probably do it again

At this point he's said he's coming here Thursday night to stop for the weekend (he doesn't work Friday)

BUT he has also arranged to meet "Anna" off the dating site at a lovely new restaurant for lunch on the Friday about an hour away from here (half an hour from his house)

Obviously, I am Anna.

So, how long do I keep this going. My teeth are itching I want to tell him so much Grin

Am also a little upset, but I had nothing invested in the relationship, so my pride has taken a hit and I feel a bit of a mug but other than that am grand.

Maybe she could get him to order a drink in for her. Champagne sounds good...

lubeybooby · 26/08/2011 13:09

Thumbwitch · 26/08/2011 13:09

SkiBumMum · 26/08/2011 13:09

Place marking. Shitty iPhone app had better not play up (are they ever going to fix the oversized icons grrrr). Been lurking for a day or so. No stripes as very pregnant sorry! Good luck!

sadlydoingshineypenguins · 26/08/2011 13:09

So now we wait ladies and let him sweat for 20 minutes (or until he texts Anna to see where she is)

I am blaming the rain for not letting me go out until 2pm. Actually, I want to see what happens.

vividgingerchilli · 26/08/2011 13:11

Sorry to hear that you are going through this, good luck whatever you decide to do.

MardyBra · 26/08/2011 13:11

Do you think he is drumming his fingers? Getting little butterflies in this tummy?

MortaIWombat · 26/08/2011 13:11

Yes! Give him an idea of wher Anna is (ten mins away place name?), and ask him to get her, um, a bacardi? white wine spritzer? wtf do airheads drink?

cheesesarnie · 26/08/2011 13:11

im suppose to take my dc swimming.damn mn getting interesting when i need to do something in rl!

SeymoreButts · 26/08/2011 13:12

Showing my support here too. Trying to bat away DCs whilst hitting reload every few seconds!

Just in case he decides to show up for a show down, maybe you should go out this afternoon?

DorisIsAPinkDragon · 26/08/2011 13:13

white wine spritzer would be good as he would look a bit of a twat drinking that and it's not as obvious as champagne.

sadlydoingshineypenguins · 26/08/2011 13:14

I don't think there are any airheads on here to tell me what an airhead drinks Wink

white wine spritzer?

Will text again around 1.20 and tell him Anna is 10 mins away, maybe?

I'm also shamelessly marking my place. And happen to be wearing a stripy top.

GlaikitFizzog · 26/08/2011 13:14

How long do you think he'll wait beofre texting?? DS is sleeping, but will want fed when he wakes (16 weeks, no way I can fob him off with Peppa Pig).

Hope it's not too long

Thumbwitch · 26/08/2011 13:15

white wine spritzer?? no.
How about bacardi and coke?

ReadyToDrink · 26/08/2011 13:16

sadlydoingshineypenguins · 26/08/2011 13:16
