We've grown rather attached to each other, which makes me a little jumpy, but feels great.

Hope the chemistry translates to RL and not just through IM and text, I'll be gutted if it doesn't :(

I hope so too!! I think that is one of the dangers of messaging for a period of time, you can sort of get carried away with what you think they will be like, you can make them fit the bill in your imagination but in reality it can be shockingly different.

I made the mistake of chatting to a guy for about two months before meeting him. He seemed really nice but when I met him he looked absolutely nothing like his photo, he drank like a fish and the more he drank the more verbally aggressive he became about his ex. He was a totally different man to the one I had dreamed he would be. Needless to say I didn't see him again.

Yours has gone to a lot of trouble to ensure the perfect date though Hairy so you have a very good start. He does sound lovely.

TimeForMeIsFree · 29/09/2011 16:37

I was going to put 'whole nut' on my cosmic order but thought it could be wrongly interpreted and I might end up with more than I bargained for

HairyGrotter · 29/09/2011 16:44

I could murder a bar of Whole Nut actually, Mmm choccie.

We've only been in contact since Friday, he emailed me, we had a bit of banter back and forth, he then didn't contact me again till Monday, and we spend over 12 hours on IM (I'm a student on the last week of holidays people, I have nothing to do lol), then again, another 12 hours the next day...Nightmare.

I barely know much about him considering the time we've put in, and vise versa, we just banter, laugh and talk shit! He really has gone to a lot of effort for the date, and it is super endearing, makes me swoon a little and I'm a hard faced cow, so he's wormed his way in somehow!

TimeForMeIsFree · 29/09/2011 16:48

It all sounds perfect Hairy I really hope it goes well for you. You could always buy a bar of Whole Nut and keep it in the cupboard 'just in case' then if he is a disappointment the evening is not a total waste

TimeForMeIsFree · 29/09/2011 16:51

While I was sat in the pub with Loser I decided to get a Chinese takeaway when I got home so, while he slagged off his ex wife I sat planning what I was going to order. Twas delicious too! The highlight of the night!

Makeyerowndamndinner · 29/09/2011 16:56

Now that sounds like a fun date hairygrotter. Enjoy. x

Work has been soooo quiet this week, well, non existant really. Good timing with the cold meaning I could happily just do nothing and get better, but unfortunately it means I'm now completely addicted to MN and this thread. I must attempt to get things back on track next week! Oh well I'm having fun anyway.

Goodnight team! Catch you soon.

lubeybooby · 29/09/2011 18:00

Oh my god! Sorry for the lol, but LOL!!!

My Tuesday date, the one I rearranged due to illness for today, and then he cancelled saying he had 'double booked with a work do'

He just posted on facebook:

Hmmm, stay in and pack and iron or beer by the canal?

Without thinking I commented:

Cake or death?

And then I thought... HEY HANG ON JUST ONE COTTON PICKIN' MINUTE HERE!!! Erm... yeah ok, funny work do that is then. I haven't said anything further but at least he knows he is rumbled. I didn't believe it was a 'work do' anyway seeing as he apparently went to one last week but he could have been a bit more discreet.....

HairyGrotter · 29/09/2011 18:13

Oh dear Lubey, let us know if he responds, what a twit

I commented again saying 'hey... hang on, there was an option c....

He hasn't said anything yet. Oh this is toooo funny!

DonDiegoYDoritoYTinto · 29/09/2011 18:17

bliss!

TimeForMeIsFree · 29/09/2011 18:22

Busted! He will be too busy trying to think of his excuse to comment further.

hellsbells76 · 29/09/2011 18:25

Finally caught up with this thread! Lubey, that's hilarious. FB is great for catching people out like that.

Well I was contacted by a rather likely looking lad on POF (cute, tall, interesting job, made me laugh), a few messages were exchanged and now he's gone and committed the cardinal sin of asking 'do you have any more photos?' I have replied telling him that it's really offputting given I have 2 perfectly clear pictures, and it feels like he wants to inspect me from all angles before deciding if I'm worth talking to. No reply yet. Am veering between thinking I've overreacted and possibly blown a potential Good Thing, but conversely that is a particular bugbear of mine and I think I'd be selling myself short if I didn't say how it made me feel. His reaction (if any) will be most telling I suppose...

TimeForMeIsFree · 29/09/2011 18:50

hellsbells76 that is a bugbear of mine too, makes me feel like a piece of meat. I usually reply "No, do you?" and pass it right back at em! I don't think you have overreacted, you have standards to maintain and you are not lowering them for anyone!

Original poster

lubeybooby · 29/09/2011 18:57

hellsbells well if he is worth meeting and really likes you he will come back with a humble apology even if he thinks you overreacted.

I just got an apology and he says the work do is the beer by the canal... yeah rightyo...! But seeing as he apologised I will let him off this once.

TimeForMeIsFree · 29/09/2011 19:00

Well lubey, I hope you are making notes in your little book, cos that is potentially a fib he has told you standards

lubeybooby · 29/09/2011 19:01

Oh yes, I've got my eye on him... anything else that annoys me and he is a goner....

HairyGrotter · 29/09/2011 19:38

I'm the same Hells, huge bugbear of mine, it just ruins it for me.

SarahBumBarer · 29/09/2011 19:58

See shiney i told you that I had a good feeling about mr 3 dates!

SarahBumBarer · 29/09/2011 19:58

In future why don't you tell me about your dates and if I get a good feeling run, run, run

charlottesmum re your post

^Mr Hot but dangerous just text me and said distance is too far and my kids are too young!!! (His are 12 and 16) (Mine are 9,10 and 17).
Mr Engineer has made me so cross today - still won't commit to 3rd date but keeps trying to sext me! I'm ignoring the rude texts and then he will text and say why are you ignoring me. Arghhh, I have lost respect for him now. Anyway I've joined OKC and I shall be on there all night^

Never mind about hot but dangerous. At least he gave you a reason and didn't just vanish - NEXT!

Mr Engineer - what a knob. Utter utter knob. Tell him you are not a text wank service!
