hi wriggly :)
penguin - hi... cant wait for an update

lubey - i couldnt do that.. but, like youi say, circumstance and all.. sometimes leads to things happening ( haha. and ill say no more)

i am a ridiclous state of nerves now. Like, full on washing machine stomach. I really dont know why.
Its stupid.

He is, like lubey says just a man. Though not bad at relationships, just needs to have some things that are just ' his' and couldnt be long term with someone that couldnt accept that. Apparently.

I just think its gong to all go wrong. I think he thinks im cool and quirky. Im not, im just an old, ( thanks 4 WHITE hairs for appearing this afternoon) chubby, mother of a 5 year old. Whos a bit weird some times.

Watch, you have to think positive and work on that confidence a bit. Everyone could make themselves sound awful/bland/fat/boring/useless if they focused on the negatives... everyone! For example I could say I'm a fat lazy greying no hoper. But I won't because I choose to ignore those things and instead focus on the positives! He wouldn't be meeting you if he wasn't feeling at least some excitement, and that's come from you just being your lovely self. And you ARE pretty. So ner :P

TimeForMeIsFree · 06/10/2011 17:21

Yes watch what lubey says. That's a poor attitude to have about yourself. If you believe you are cool and quirky, which I do believe you are as that is how you come across, then The Man is going to believe that too. Positive Mental Attitude. Please. Thank you.

watchoutforthatsnail · 06/10/2011 17:29

i am not cool.

My college brought in a glut of cooking apples and asked if anyone wanted any.

I was like ' me, me, me! ill stew them and freeze them!!!'

THAT is NOT the thought process of a cool person.

hahahahahahaha

Watch he obviously likes you as he has already spent alot of time talking to you and he might be feeling just as nervous. Just because he is in a band it doesn't mean he is any cooler than you are.

You come across as cool, fun and kind because that is what you are. Other peoples perception of us are often very different to how we think we come across.

Let us know how you get on.

As you were Grin

watchoutforthatsnail · 06/10/2011 17:45

ok.

consider myself told.

:)

Hey, being handy in the kitchen is cool you know! Smile Stop selling yourself short, that is an order!

You are seeing this guy to assess him for your own needs. to see if he is suitable for you! You are in control of the situation!

HairyGrotter · 06/10/2011 18:02

I'm the most uncool person I know, but others think I'm cool because I'm confident, aware, intelligent, happy, and fun...all an act but is it?

You are cool, if I saw you're cool, you're cool capisce!

HairyGrotter · 06/10/2011 18:03

*say...I'm too cool to spell

TimeForMeIsFree · 06/10/2011 18:06

Good post Hairy It's all those traits you describe that make me cool too, at the grand old age of 46 I am finally cool Grin

ChaoticAngelofSamhain · 06/10/2011 18:46

watch you are a gorgeous, caring, totally cool woman and this date of yours is extremely lucky that you have agreed to a date with him :)

MsCellophane · 06/10/2011 18:48

ok, so we are going for dinner on sunday lunch, first date was on tues - have just been invited over to his for a coffee and dvd, would you go?

He lives 30 mins away but if I go, I would find out he is for real and not hiding a wife and he has his son tonight so I'm thinking there wouldn't be any sex (though wouldn't mind if there was)

Or is this rushing things?

lubeybooby · 06/10/2011 18:49

watch you are WAY cooler than me and I'm not that uncool. therefore you are cool. HTH :o

lubeybooby · 06/10/2011 18:52

Ooh MsCello. I think I'd probably leave it for now, thinking of one definition of a player as one who makes grand plans for dates then it ends up being round his/yours with sex on the menu. But... if you are sure he isn't like that.... I dunno!

ChaoticAngelofSamhain · 06/10/2011 18:56

lubey Grin

MsCell listen to your instincts.

ChaoticAngelofSamhain · 06/10/2011 19:08

Oops forgot to say... Hi Wiggly and welcome :)

charlottesmum5 · 06/10/2011 20:00

OK guys I've joined Smooch...watch this space...

Seasidegirly · 06/10/2011 20:19

Ive joined Smooch as well. Grin

lubeybooby · 06/10/2011 20:23

Joined and have ignored it since. Still not in the mood to go sifting through the inevitable bunch that have mailed me. I've had quite a few mails but I feel 'oh god here we go again' rather than excitement. Hmm

But then I am knackered. Maybe I will feel like it when I'm not done in!

TimeForMeIsFree · 06/10/2011 20:31

Feeling like that myself lubey. Thinking of deleting profile and having done with it. But then I'm scared of missing something!!!

lubeybooby · 06/10/2011 20:35

I need a 'dating' site to match me up with the perfect bar of chocolate. Free. Free chocolate, that's what I need. With no calories. I'd never leave the house again and indulge my cat lady tendencies with abandon

charlottesmum5 · 06/10/2011 20:49

lubey i actually went to the Cat Rescue place today with a view to adding to my collection, but they were shut! I was devastated...that's why I came home and joined Smooch lmao!

lubeybooby · 06/10/2011 21:14

Hahahaaa charlottes! :o I've been so tempted to get another cat this week, but I've already got three so I think another would officially tip me over the edge into scary cat lady territory re: dating. I already feel slightly uncomfortable admitting I have three :o

Zanywany · 06/10/2011 21:49

Evening. WHat do your instincts tell you MsCello, would you feel comfortable in his house? If his son is there then will you be meeting him?

4 cats or more could either see you as a animal caring persson or simply scary cat lady Lubey

That made me laugh Charlottes, joining smooch because the cat rescue was shut

I have been out with my kids tonight but been getting regular flirty texts from Mr Body.

Oh and been getting some really lovely emails from a hot looking guy, who it tall so I'll see how that develops. Dont't want to put all my eggs in one basket
