Yes Make what Shiney said too. It could well be that what you thought was a romantic pull towards each other was actually just him going back to plan B all the time. Harsh and horrible, but whatever the fuck is going on he is an arsehole and he doesn't deserve any more of your time, energy, effort or thought. Be very very kind to yourself today :)

He's a piss artist Make. Most probably married - flirts to get his rocks off while convincing himself he's not being 'unfaithful'.

Or maybe his photo isn't his photo, iyswim.

Snapespeare · 16/10/2011 11:18

make i agree. guys a twat. block and forget, you deserve better than this.

someone on soulmates has asked me out! eee! and he isn't a bald, toothless, snooker-playing, scary-man. :)

Makeyerowndamndinner · 16/10/2011 11:19

Thanks everyone. He is going out on real dates with other people as far as I'm aware so perhaps I am just his plan b/safe bet, whatever.

Just how wrong can a girl get it eh. I've been wasting my time with this man since January.

lubeybooby · 16/10/2011 11:22

I've done that before, Make. Wasted my time for 6 months, turned out he had a girlfriend. Just make sure you take back the control, block the fucker and don't waste another millisecond on him.

Make, sorry he was such an arse. Right see my rules, meet for coffee the first time, don't buy a new outfit or go to the beautician until you have met in person and know you both want to see each other for a proper date. PS you can supplement coffee with a nice glass of wine and I realise this all sounds boring but much better than getting hopes up.

I would move on if someone has been dragging their heels about meeting up.

He might be married or hiding behind someone elses photo. Who knows.

I was hanging around POF last night and got a message, off a munter, that lives miles away. That was it Sad.

charlottesmum5 · 16/10/2011 11:34

ha ha thanks time yes you are right!! I need some serious lessons in pulling the right guy lol!! Any experts on here? My mum reckons I should forget the internet dating and just go up to men in Sainsburys down the cucumber aisle!Anyway I get 2 new kittens to add to my collection in 2 weeks, so I just need to practice singing my Adele songs and then I'm sorted :)

Makeyerowndamndinner · 16/10/2011 11:36

Grin at "munter" adamschic.

Haven't heard that word in ages.

adamschic · 16/10/2011 11:36

I got asked out in the supermarket. I arranged to meet him again same time next week but in the cafe for a coffee as I was taken aback and wasn't sure about him. Guess what I decided I didn't fancy him after the coffee. Hey ho!

wrigglytummy · 16/10/2011 11:39

Ladies, I think Sunday should be the new Monday for us - time to ditch the crap dates of the weekend and do some fresh fishing.
I feel hideously bad that I did not fancy my date as he was lovely and keen, but I guess that is the way it happens and you cannot date out of pity!
Right, back to POF, I'm not brave enough to hit on random blokes in the cucumber aisle yet!
I might have to look at the cat option soon!

adamschic · 16/10/2011 11:40

Munter = Herman Monster lookalike, he really was.

I've just realised I have met far too many men in the past year who I haven't felt it for and had to knock back I sound almost conceited, which I'm far from. The odds have to be the next one I do. (He better had too).

TimeForMeIsFree · 16/10/2011 11:53

I want to meet someone in the supermarket. Or a coffee shop. Or anywhere.

izzywhizzysfritenite · 16/10/2011 11:59

Your mum's got it sussed cm.

If you see anything you fancy while strolling up and down the aisles, knock him on the head with a cucumber, stick him in your trolley, and load him and the catfood into the boot of your car - job done Grin

izzywhizzysfritenite · 16/10/2011 12:01

In that case, you're best advised to start going to supermarkets, coffee shops and anywhere really TFMIF.

lubeybooby · 16/10/2011 12:04

I want so meet someone in real life anywhere too... supermarket, coffee etc. Might help if I made some effort with appearance every time I step out of the house without fail. Hmmm.

OP posts:
TimeForMeIsFree · 16/10/2011 12:04

I do Izzy All the fecking time!! I do my shopping in backpack fulls and walk there nearly every day. I practically live in the sodding supermarket! I'm getting fit with all the walking and humping shopping though. But would rather add to fitness levels by humping men

lubeybooby · 16/10/2011 12:15

Arf at "humping men" :o

They say sex is good for weight loss... perhaps I could wank on a treadmill?

TimeForMeIsFree · 16/10/2011 12:19

Might be a tad dangerous PoopRob and embarrassing if you need to call the emergency services after falling of it.

PoppaRob · 16/10/2011 12:20

PoopRob? :)

TimeForMeIsFree · 16/10/2011 12:21

Grin it's the wine! I'm still recovering Grin

but it could be fitting

lubeybooby · 16/10/2011 12:22

I've typed PoopaRob many a time and had to correct it :o

I'm wondering, if I rewrote my profile in cosmic order style, if I would attract the right men, cos you should see the munters lining my inbox right now.
