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.

Are you not going with one of the fuck-off texts up thread? There was a minger one that was good.

CocktailMumma · 26/08/2011 13:27

Such a shame we dont have a "spy" to tell us how many times he has looked at his watch and gazed towards the door and women wandering around close by - just in case its Anna!!

PMSL!!

She could say 'where are u? only single guy there was old and fat, decided not u.'

MardyBra · 26/08/2011 13:29

What you said earlier was good OP

OTheHugeRaveningWolef · 26/08/2011 13:29

Tarty That's genius Grin

vividgingerchilli · 26/08/2011 13:29

love it tarty

youarekidding · 26/08/2011 13:29

You are all positively evil - I love it. Grin

Thumbwitch · 26/08/2011 13:29

Tarty, WAaaaayy too nice and not final enough.

EudoraTheExplorer · 26/08/2011 13:29

I think go for OTheHuge's dumping text, you need to have something in there telling him Anna thought he was minging (sp?), you need to hurt his pride.

DorisIsAPinkDragon · 26/08/2011 13:30

Do it. Do it. DO IT!!!!!

Al0uiseG · 26/08/2011 13:30

"Babes, nutin personal but u r a bit older than yr pic, fink u bin tellin porkie pies. Older men aren't my type. Soz x"

LittleBoxes · 26/08/2011 13:30

'wouldn't wanna b u' a bit contrived. Keep it simple. I like Tarty's.

MardyBra · 26/08/2011 13:30

I need a wee but am glued to the computer.

OTheHugeRaveningWolef · 26/08/2011 13:31

You've got to 'lol' after telling him he's minging. Nothing like a 'lol' to soften the experience of having your manly pride smashed to smithereens. Wink

redlac · 26/08/2011 13:31

me too MardyBra!

EudoraTheExplorer · 26/08/2011 13:31

I like ALouiseG but maybe add a bit:

"Babes, nutin personal but u r a bit older than yr pic, fink u bin tellin porkie pies OR EATING THEM. Older men aren't my type. Soz x"

sadlydoingshineypenguins · 26/08/2011 13:31

ooh, I like Alouiseg's now...

mistlethrush · 26/08/2011 13:31

Was wonderding what happened after yesterday - glad I found it again. Glad you're still standing strong!

lubeybooby · 26/08/2011 13:31

I like Al0uiseG's version but put minger in there somewhere too

MardyBra · 26/08/2011 13:31
TartyMcFarty · 26/08/2011 13:32

Might he have too much ego pride to text Anna to find out where she is?

Thumbwitch · 26/08/2011 13:32

Aha - defo put in somewhere that he is a liar/porkie pies or whatever - get the liar bit in though!
