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.

Just an aside, but I love the fact that 'doing a shiney penguin' actually means something on MN Grin

Al0uiseG · 26/08/2011 13:22

I have heard airheads some girls ordering Pinot "blush".

MardyBra · 26/08/2011 13:22

Or call him and say how much you are looking forward to seeing him as you have something important to say to him and can you come and join him.

sadlydoingshineypenguins · 26/08/2011 13:23

Sadly you wouldn't be the only one Grin I think great as it sounds unless you are a fantastic actress (not me then) you'd give it away...

SadlyDoing I loved the original penguin thread, a true, true classic and I'm loving this one too. Thank you for cheering up my day, I have had a good chuckle.

eaglewings · 26/08/2011 13:25

It needs to be in the bottle still so Anna knows it's her drink and can be double certain that she is dumping the right man

I'm an hour ahead and finding the wait unbearable.

sadlydoingshineypenguins · 26/08/2011 13:25

Oh yes. Please compose Anna's fuck off text for me

saffronwblue · 26/08/2011 13:25

MardyBra · 26/08/2011 13:26

She needs to work on that timekeeping

custardismyhamster · 26/08/2011 13:26

Marking place as lunch break over at 13:30, why oh why do I have to then wait till afternoon break to mn!? :(

vividgingerchilli · 26/08/2011 13:27

Thanks for ordering the drink, sorry babe but not coming, was browsing the dating site whilst stuck in traffic and found a better offer...cya

phrased accordingly of course.

sadlydoingshineypenguins · 26/08/2011 13:27

I wish he'd hurry up and text her to see where she is

LEBJOF can I use your text please???? Grin
