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.

Now all we need is his name and a photo so we can all post it on our facebooks as a warning to other single ladies not to date the dipshit! Grin

Upwards and onwards and all that jazz

I wholeheartedly agree that MN rocks.

There has been a powerful amount of crap on here recently and I feel like the balance has been restored. You ladies rock. Each and every one of you

I hope you have a cracking night xx

sadlydoingshineypenguins · 26/08/2011 20:25

God, he lingers like a fart in a lift, doesn't he?

AKissIsNotAContract · 26/08/2011 20:28

What a dumbass, doesn't he get it, he's been dumped!

Mouseface · 26/08/2011 20:28

WTF???????????????

See you tomorrow? Did you not reply 'C U Next Tuesday'??

Seriously, this guy is a super nobber and needs to get the message.

You are far to good for him, he fucked up, you found out, goodbye wank stain.

HippyHippopotamus · 26/08/2011 20:31

i'm so happy for you sadly! well done for the DD Grin

ps To the other girls on here, if you were in my local supermarket today wearing a stripey top... i apologise for grinning at you!

SuePurblybilt · 26/08/2011 20:31

You'll have to text him back.

ShirleyKnot · 26/08/2011 20:32

Just read this whole thread. Amazing.

Well done sadly, onwards and upwards to something infinitely better.

whomovedmychocolate · 26/08/2011 20:32

Was it a 'see you tomorrow ? ' or just a see you tomorrow. Perhaps he's just a bit hard of thinking?

Very tempting to text back 'can't see you, have date' Grin

Portofino · 26/08/2011 20:38

Where are your dc's? Had they met this guy?

sadlydoingshineypenguins · 26/08/2011 20:39

DC's on holiday in Cork with their Dad. No, they hadn't met him I'm so so glad of that
