[lubeybooby]

A new one (again)

Dating, internet dating, all kinds of dating.... chat about it here.

Off you go! :o

sounds great lubey I hope you have fab time. Early night with electric blanket and Xfactor here. Nothing but a load of dross on POF today.

Go Lubey, enjoy.
Time, I'm already under my granny blanket! Roll on sat night tv.

am just debating whether to get my PJ's on wriggly. I'm longing to get cosy. I love Saturday nights.

Goodnight all. Been watching Nina Conti clips. It's just after 3am here so time for some sleep methinks!

Goodnight PoppaRob. Sleep well

I will be catching up with xfactor when I get in and immediately going into comfort mode :o

I'm bored now. Too early to finish getting ready and nowt else to do.

oooh PJs, slippers, great idea Time, but i'd still rather be on a hot date

Ooh no wriggly after last night am more than happy to be home and cost with Xfactor. In fact, I feel quite sorry for lubey having to drag herself out tonight

I feel sorry for me having xfactor delayed by TWO HOURS! :o

Oh well, it's my own fault for not going yesterday instead. I did feel sick and urgh though and no idea why. Oh well I'm fine today and you never know, there might be fireworks and singing angels or something.

fireworks and singing angels? That sounds like an Xfactor final!

I will wait up for you to hear all the juicy details make sure you get home safe

Nah.. xfactor final is rubbish pyrotechnics, flutterfetti that gets stuck in their mouths when singing the final song and singing eejits

I shall update re: my safe arrival home and provide all juicy details asap

Actually I think this is just slightly better than last week when I had a date with a massive burger my A list friends. :o

Hope you have a great evening Lubey and Charlottesmum.
Look forward to the details later.

Ohh is charlottesmum off on a date tonight too? I'm getting lost with this thread :o

Good luck charlottes!

Right better finish getting ready

Yes, have lovely night lubey and charlotte make sure you get a snog for me. I missed out on my snog last night!

Hi Time,

< Yes, that is exactly how I feel. I really wanted to like him too but I know I wouldn't feel excited at the prospect of a second date. If he were to ask me I know I would be saying yes just to make him happy and there is no way am slipping into that mode again! Nice chap but just not the one for me. When is your second date? Is it already arranged? >

Hi Time, the second date is supposed to happen next week, I don't know the date yet as I am waiting to see when he is off work. And this raises another issue that I did not think of until last night. He lives further away than I realised, so it is not so easy to arrange to meet up, and because he works rota (if we ended up in a relationship) I would generally not know from one week to the next when I was going to see him. This wouldn't really suit me, as I like to plan out my week a bit in advance. And it would be so awkward with trying to book tickets in advance for lots of things (which might need to be purchased a good bit in advance), or even plan when I was going to do other stuff like meet other friends. I don't quite trust myself not to end up contorting myself just to fit in with his life.

I am tempted to pull the plug on the second date, though I might just go ahead with it on the off-chance that I will see him in a different light. One good thing about internet dating is that it can help figure out what you want and don't want, either personality-wise or in terms of practical stuff like how far away would it be ok for the other person to live.

Oops, I've been having some hot texts with the man in waiting.... Only bugger is that I'm not free for a date for ages- arghh!

hi, new to this thread but am also internet dating. Had a second date today with someone. We were getting on okay - a couple of drinks (soft ones) turned into four hours of chat and he wanted to get a meal but I said no. While we were chatting I kept swithering between thinking he was nice and not being sure enough. When we left he wanted to give me a lift but I said no - I felt it was better that he did not know where my house was, but he was obviously offended and I think it really put him off. I am not too bothered really but didn't want to offend him at all. also he talked about some personal stuff in his life. Gah. Doesn't look good, does it?

Hellooo! I'm alive

Glad to hear it Lubey, I've been worried about you how did it go?

Whats up Tricky, has he not called yet? Do you really think you've put him off by not wanted him to bring you home?

so Lubey any good?

So, date report:

B+

Good laugh, many vodkas, karaoke. I sang Amy Winehouse and Adele songs and blame the many vodkas. Have been introduced to three of his mates already we started off somewhere quiet and then moved to a livelier place with the karaoke and his mates. Would have been better if we had gone for a meal first but neither of us were very hungry and there was a huge queue for tables so we left it. Meal would have made it A grade but not A*

Bloke report:

B+

Hmmm... very hmmm.... Very not my type apart from being tall, but I do quite fancy him. The differences between us are hugely obvious... I'm a posh restaurants and wine bars kind of woman and he is a very divey local pub kinda bloke. I felt ridiculously posh, and I'm not - I'm not even middle class. He is very much a bit of rough. I can make myself fit in anywhere though so although a bit alien it's not awful or anything. Anyway he seems very taken with me and we had a VERY nice snog. He is very sweet, gentle and gentlemanly.

Further date?

Yes... this one needs further exploring...

Potential?

Not sure yet. Possibly... I want to go for a meal with him though and see if he can be just as comfortable in my fave posh bar as I was in the divey pub. And I absolutely have to shag him, if that's good then yes there will be relationship potential.

Sounding like it has potential. Nowt wrong with a bit of rough if you like him enough. Sounds like a good plan to do the next date in your environment then see.

Yeah he's a really nice bloke. I just rang him seeing as we can't do texts and we've arranged to go for lunch in the week at some point as I'm off all week for half term and he is flexible being self employed too.

lubey time back from my date..all I can say is phwoarrrrr...he's the Finance Director (whatever that is)..anyway incredibly good looking, talks as much or even more than me, very intelligent, self aware, good dresser, he tells me he has an 8 inch cock.....had a snog in the car and he text me all the way home to say he wants to see me again and will ring me tomorrow..BUT and the only BUT..(tmi alert) he says he likes women who have brazilians and I don't...I have a bikini wax but not off 'underneath'...i've been thinking of having it done and my beautician today said I should have a think about having it done...anyone here got experience of this? I wouldn't want to do it just to please a man lol. PS: and i know its early days but i reckon he would be a good shag.
