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.

I love this!

youarekidding · 26/08/2011 13:36

then reply 'yes X, I am, I saw you sat at the table and realised you have been lying to me, your nothing like your photo and have clearly let yourself go in recent years. Therefore I am far away in the opposite direction. I don't date liers and mingers'

Incorporates the sudden articulateless she has got, with the lying and you knowing the photo is years old. Wink

Don't become articulate - it connects it more to you if she takes up your 'voice', IYSWIM.

SuePurblybilt · 26/08/2011 13:38

Don't ruin it by mentioning a window unless you know the venue really well. Let him wonder on that one.
It's Ireland ffs, it's not hard to believe that you know someone who knows someone in the cafe/bar Grin
