As the name suggests, I am sadly (but not that sadly) doing a shiney penguin....

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.

bottled alcopop is the best, WKD or bacardi breezer?

Thumbwitch · 26/08/2011 13:16

I don't think you should text him again until he texts back asking where are you - then you can say your bit.

vividgingerchilli · 26/08/2011 13:16

Sorry to be dense, but what is with the stripy tops?

Purplebuns · 26/08/2011 13:16

Surely it would be WKD blue or a bacardi breezer?

SuePurblybilt · 26/08/2011 13:17

Pink Bacardi Breezer

tabulahrasa · 26/08/2011 13:17

Surely anyone that texts like that would drink blue WKD?

youarekidding · 26/08/2011 13:17

I'd be temped to ask for a double mocha choco latte, skinny milk, easy on the foam - like the airheads do in American dramas. Grin

vividgingerchilli · 26/08/2011 13:17

white wine spritzer and she only drinks them if they have those cocktail umbrellas :)

GlaikitFizzog · 26/08/2011 13:18

Martini and lemonade, with an umbrella!

DorisIsAPinkDragon · 26/08/2011 13:18

breezer if you must less masculine, if he decides to neck it rather than wasting it tight wad ( what does he least like?)

Purplebuns · 26/08/2011 13:18

Or skint him and have a JD, Kahlua and Coke? Like the consensus on WKD Blue!

sadlydoingshineypenguins · 26/08/2011 13:18

Vivid was an idea further up the thread for an Anna flashmob all dressed in stripey tops.

"babes just 5 mins away get me a drink pls? pink bacardi breezer xxx"

Watermelon Bacardi Breezer.

SailorVie · 26/08/2011 13:19

I say she'd go for a blue WKD

vividgingerchilli · 26/08/2011 13:19

pink bacardi breezer, perfect...
thanks for the explanation, no stripy top here so wearing a virtual one. My DD has a real one on though.

whomovedmychocolate · 26/08/2011 13:19

Can you call him right now and ask him where you think your relationship with him is going just to hear him desperately trying to fob you off so his new lurver doesn't catch him talking to his girlfriend Grin

sadlydoingshineypenguins · 26/08/2011 13:20

Oh whomoved that is genuis Grin

Come on, time for Anna to dump him, surely? Who gets to compose the Lolz Text?

sadlydoingshineypenguins · 26/08/2011 13:21
