old thread

I love this thread! I think you're all fantastic. Such verve, such elan, such class, such wit, such style - all gone to waste on so many plonkers

Sorry to hear that the engineer you thought had possibilities has turned out to be another loser, charlottesmum.

Did Mr Warty give you an account of his holiday in Shagaluf, did his mum get defrosted buried , and has he returned your bushhedgetrimmer?

I ask as I'm in the process of creating motifs for Any Fucker's bush to reflect the forthcoming seasonal change and it ocurred to me that you might be prepared to loan your equipment to a non-warty person, after sterilisation of course (the trimmer, not you or AF).

Shiney - Now I dont want to offend you....but maybe...you should consider not marrying him. There, I said it . Its a bit weird all this marriage stuff from him. Do you think he really does mean it all as a joke, because you said to him, he wasnt showing he was keen..and doesnt know when to stop?

why didnt that work was it the full stop. Well thats ruined the whole message now.

Dirtydawg - well, another one from the dating archives is a guy I had an amazing date with, many many texts, then and amazing night, a week of non stop texting, another date and then.... nothing. He didn't just vanish as per typical behaviour but slowly backed off and blamed having elderly, ill parents and not enough time. Fine fair enough. I was glad I met him when i had some dating experience behind me or I'd have been all in love and daft.

But... Stay and Poppa are right. You have to take a chance, so there is little you can do about it, just try it. Plenty of Mn'ers have popped onto this thread to say it worked for them and good luck, so there's no reason why this shouldn't be something good. Just make sure that if it does go wrong, you pick yourself up, dust yourself off and get back in the saddle, because you owe it to yourself not to wallow in heartbreak and lay on the floor screaming adele songs to your 27 cats

DirtyDawg, take the chance, grab it with both hands. If it works out, excellent, if it doesn't? Pop it down as experience and give yourself time, then get back out there!

Well, my date is tonight, we were chatting till 4am (up at 7am, yawn) about just normal stuff, and I still feel we have so much to learn about eachother!

Have a girly day planned with my daughter (she's 3 i.e. go to the park, spend sometime in the sun, grab lunch, wander round shops, then get her ready to go to Ma's!), then I shall preen myself and hope that tonight turns out good !

Oh god... my sort-of-date is tonight too.

izzy Mr Warty didn't tell me anything about Shagaluf and after I dumped him by text 2 days before he defrosted buried his mother...and no mention of returning my broken trimmer!! Bastard!!

stay I think you might have taken the 27 cats and Adele songs from my FB page!!!!! I stayed up late one night searching for pages to do with cats - how sad am I!! My favourite page though is the one selling your 27 cats on ebay because you've found a boyfriend and then buying them all back because you've been dumped!! Thats definitely me :(

I have no dates or even a remote sniff of one this weekend :(

i meant defrosted lol

Don't worry charlottes it will happen soon enough. Probably in the 'men are like buses' way as it usually does for me. Nothing for ages then five turn up at once! Just make the most of having time to yourself for a bit and holding on for a really good date.

I have time in my head now wagging a finger and saying "standards!"

Yes lubey, standards! Which springs to mind when reading your post about tonight's date. If you really aren't into him then don't feel you should go. If it's simply a case of you having cold feet then fair enough give him a chance but if you are thinking it's a no go before you even go then don't go have a bar of Whole Nut instead

Lubey - No cold feet allowed. You cant advise someone to just go for it and not take your own advice! Besides its friday! Everyone should go out on a friday.

Charlotte - Aww, I would take you out. But I live in the middle of nowhere. And I am female. Its the thought that counts though! It could have been from your page, not sure! Cracked me right up though!

Hairy - It all sounds soo positive, will be excited to hear how you get on tonight!

Shiney - get well soon!

Text last night from S..."consider yourself relationshipped" scary. In a good way :)

Time... :o he is an intelligent and funny bloke and damned good looking and more importantly, tall gainfully employed with an interesting job, creative and many good things. I promise this isn't a question of standards... he is just very different to other potential dates I've had and I feel a bit out of my depth. Fish out of water... but different isn't necessarily a bad thing, especially when you consider that the million others who were all the same and rather predictable didn't work out. This one keeps me on my toes...and I know it's just a touch of cold feet and my recent decrease in confidence nagging at me and I'm being daft.

Ok - decision, I'm going and that's that. I'll have the bar of whole nut when I stumble get in :o

Now that the FUCK am I going to wear? I had planned a wrap dress, tights and boots but this weather has buggered that one up.

Nice and smart but not michelin starred restaurant. Ideas?

You are being a wee bit daft lubey (I went to call you lubes, but that just sounds wrong) but I get where you are coming from. S was a 'different' for me, in terms of normal types as in actually owning a fully functioning brain.

Contents of your wardrobe? I am useless with clothes, its always skinny jeans, fancy top and boots. My sister is going to take me shopping in a bid to 'sort me out'.

Vicariously excited about everyone's dates tonight! Expecting full, explicit and gory details on your return.

More pictures guy has definitely got the hump - still no reply. Think I dodged a bullet there. Short and sweet messages from the manchild (27 not 26, which obviously makes all the difference.) Only other message currently in my inbox is this:

"Good morning Hows U? loving your yummy Big........................................... Smile;0)
Hope U like my profile?"

Er...no.

Lubey he sounds lovely! And different is good. If you always do what you've always done, you will always get what you've always got. If you have had little success with the 'usual' type of guy then I would most definitely encourage you to give someone 'different' a chance. You are not out of your depth. You feel you are out of your depth and that is your self esteem talking. He may be different but he is not better than you, he goes to the toilet just like everyone else. Even the Queen!

What about a nice maxi dress for the date lubey comfortable to wear and fitting for the weather.

I just got a message from a guy on Cupid "Hi, what are you called"

Lubey Sometimes its good to have a date with someone completely different from your usual 'type' as you may have been going for the wrong type for you before. How about the wrap dress without the tights or is it long sleeved? The last few nights it's still been really warm in the evenings. Skinny jeans and a fancy top sounds good, I may go for that too.

Stay I like the texted, consider yourself relationshipped

Your dates seems to have potential Hairy - I have chatted to my date for tomorrow quite alot on text / email and was worried that it would mean that we wouldn't have as much to talk about or there may be no spark but then realised that actually it had given us alot of things that we know a little bit about each other but can now talk more in depth face to face. Not that I've been thinking too much about it or anything [innocent emotion]

Hope you feel better soon Shiney - if he is making you feel a bit about whether he means it about the whole proposal thing I would tell him. Maybe he just doesn't know when to heat things up and when to back off - relationship wise I mean

Thanks time, you're right of course. I'm giving myself a boot up the bum :o

Hellsbells definitely a dodged bullet, well done :)

Wardrobe: I don't have a maxi dress. Just tried on the wrap dress, thought I may wear it with heels instead as it's quite thing fabric for the heat, but I look pregnant in it!! The fit isn't as flattering as it should be for a wrap dress. Fuckkkitt. argh.

Ok, other options are...

Nice purple very feminine mesh top, cleavage but not too much, with purple or black linen skirt and heels

Or

Cashmere v neck jumper and smart jeans (FUCKING bastard weather... spose that ones out really)

Smart jeans, strappy top and light cardi or shrug.

thin fabric not thing

I think the heat is making these guys send such appealing messages.

In the last 24 hours I have had these

'Please tell me you always smile'

'Please chat'

'Hi' x 6, 3 of them from the same bloke

'Would you like to get to know me'

'Hows your world today lady'

I have obviously replied to them all

I would say feminine purple thing or jeans and strappy top
