Are you going to see him again at all? If you don't, do you think he might rumble that you set him up?

tell him you can't be exclusive anymore; you think you've fallen for a penguin

Ask him, "Did you know that penguins form monogomous relationships that last a lifetime?"

Do you have a landline? Would he try to contact you on that number if you don't return his calls to your old mobile? Is the old mobile still receiving calls/texts?

I've just read this entire thread and am wondering if there's another one 'to have given this dodgy looking guy in the pub a false number'

Because I had 8 phonecalls today asking for Katie. Poor desperate bloke

'Hi it must be you, you put this number in my phone'

Me -' No I am not Katie and spent last night in bed with crap magazines and an easter egg'

Then again

'Katie, why are you lying, we had a good talk, why don't you remember me?'

LOL at the Penguin waving in Tescos, Chippingin
DH came home with Asda's own brand, Puffins, he didn't know why I was so disappointed...

Invite round for a chat to dump him, make him a cup of tea and a plate of biscuits, with a few penguins on there

Am still roffling here

I think you could do what somebody suggested before - i.e. text from jane's number and say "btw...shineon and I both think you're a nob" - then the penny would drop. You really would have to get a brand new number after that though!

Oh well done well done on the whole thing though! I'm looking forward to tiger's update too!

Perhaps suggest that you and he stay in and watch 'Happy Feet' whilst snacking on sushi tonight?

I love Nancy's suggestion about telling him it's time for you both to "spread your wings" - you could then console him with the thought that there are plenty more fish in the sea...
