notfallingforhischARMBOW · 08/09/2010 23:52

evening all.

took ds1 out for dinner tonight just me and him - twas lovely and we both a had a good giggle !!

having said that on the next table was a couple who were clearly having ishoos - it was a controlled argument that went from what pizza they were going to share and then progressed quickly to what was wrong with their relationship - made me really appreciate being out of that drama i can tell you and confirmed that i do not want to rush back to relationships too quickly. i felt grateful for the first time about how i just had to worry about me and kids and that i did not have a bloke who was prone to flouncing to consider in every decision i made Hmm

sometimes life just throws in something like that to make you reassess your situation i think

,,,,,,having said that a quick fumble every now and again might be worth looking into. Grin

i have the physical desire just no energy for all the crap that (potentially) comes along with it - of course i am judging relationships on the last one i had and well let's face it that one didn't end well Hmm so perhaps my benchmark is all wrong and the normal type of relationship is a hell of a lot better than the one i was in ... Confused

startingovernow · 08/09/2010 23:55

BTW Tea, no need to apologise for prudishness, in the not too distanced past I'd have been scandalised at someone like me Shock. However thanks to copious amounts of counselling & being severely kicked in the boll*ks by xh, I've now morphed into this creature that no longer gives a flying f*k Grin.........

Sov, lol at back in the saddle type of gal.....

have we had details email sent out for the meet if so i have not had it.

Patienceobtainsallthings · 08/09/2010 23:59

I know what you mean AB ,never been in a relationship for just selfish reasons b4 might try it purely from a feminist perspective LOL!Only thing is I'm sure most blokes would find that a turn on ,role reversal kind of way . But it would be purely for research,need to think of a name for such an experiment ,any suggestions?

IfYoureHappyAndYouKnowIt · 09/09/2010 00:03

Sorry AB, the email will come tomorrow. I am just being lazy posting on phone for last few days and not getting laptop out.

Patience, cat is on the road to recovery

Patienceobtainsallthings · 09/09/2010 00:04

Ah good news re cat

notfallingforhischARMBOW · 09/09/2010 00:05

wasn't being rude just thought i might have been left of the list Blush Blush

i am rather excited about it you know Grin

Patienceobtainsallthings · 09/09/2010 00:07

Empowered sex for women with attitude ,boundaries ,healthy self esteem and no ishoos LOL!Quite catchy

Patienceobtainsallthings · 09/09/2010 00:13

The study of a recovering co dependant needing to test new relationship skills learnt on MN and through counselling !

startingovernow · 09/09/2010 00:14

Patience, that is exactly the experiment I have been trying out & it's proving to be v successful Grin. As for names it could be called I'm not sure but I do know it was suggested that I might be a hussy by a dumpling that shall remain nameless Grin Grin

OP posts:
Patienceobtainsallthings · 09/09/2010 00:17

This could take me a lifetime to perfect LOL!

AB agree re pizza scenario ,i see it all the time and think SOD that ,PITA of a life !!

notfallingforhischARMBOW · 09/09/2010 00:18

how about

I have new skills from MN and I ain't afraid to use them !

or

there's no point pulling your usual lines on me mate, i can see right through you, i do however think you are a bit of alright how about it?

startingovernow · 09/09/2010 00:24

I think the direct approach always works great, give them what they think they want i.e. tell them you dying for a s**g & then when you're satisfied say thanks that was great I'll call you tomorrow & leave immediately, no small talk............then DO NOT CALL THEM. They'll be left wondering wtf & commence to bombard you with calls..........Grin. You have em in your hands at that point..........

OP posts:
startingovernow · 09/09/2010 00:25

Btw, this of course is not the approach I use, I'm too much of a lady Grin

Patienceobtainsallthings · 09/09/2010 00:26

Patienceobtainsallthings · 09/09/2010 00:31

I think i might need to practice a bit b4 i am let loose on the general public
