lubey - that makes perfect sense to me :)

i wouldnt have wanted to date mr epic sex, because frankly, his flat looked like a bomb site, literally flithy and i would have been embarassed to be seen 'with' him, because he thinks hes still 12. However, hes a nice bloke, fun, and an amazing shag, but it was never going to be anything more.
So - i get where you are coming from, you have to weigh these things up.

shshiney - could you not update in discuise?

lubeybooby · 17/10/2011 12:30

Def ask around your colleagues. They take 20 - 40 mins to work in my experience. Some reckon they are specifically fast acting though

ok, lovely colleague in next office along has dosed me up. I shall now obsess about eveything that could go wrong.

He might smell bad.
He might have bad teeth
He might have a funny voice
He might look at my chest the entire time (my chest is difficult to avoid..)
He might not appreciate the full extent of the amount of tattoos I have. I did mention this on my profile and he does seem to have read it.

Is it wrong to look at his profile again?

My hair has gone puffy.

lubeybooby · 17/10/2011 12:37

Snape I wouldn't worry about the tattoos. I am laughing along in recognition of how you feel though re: curling up under the desk :o

Yay for painkillers. Don't worry about your hair! :o

watchoutforthatsnail · 17/10/2011 12:38

lol :)

i love it.

bless you.
:)

yes, all of those things could happen as well as:

he might have entirely nothing to say, so you end up either staring into your coffee, or talking like a mad thing to make up for it

he might not look anything at all like his profile pics

he might have a wart or somthing that he photoshopped out and that you will be unable to take your eyes off

or he might have a weird twitch

BUT, he might also be quite nice and take you out to dinner next week. You never know :)

watchoutforthatsnail · 17/10/2011 12:39

and yes, look at his profile again.

Snapespeare · 17/10/2011 12:44

Blush already did. he's handsome, if blonde. Wink

I bet he talks about his mum for the entire lunch, but pronounces 'mum' as 'Mmmmmmmmmmmmm twitch other'.

Zanywany · 17/10/2011 12:45

I would have another profile nosy although depending on which site he is on some of them let the other person know how many times you have looked - I have embarrased myself by looking too many times at a hot date before.

PoppaRob · 17/10/2011 12:47

snapes... by the time the extra painkillers and a couple of drinks kick in you'll be very relaxed! :)

lubeybooby · 17/10/2011 12:47

I'm an arsehole for profile stalking. I do it but with a different account so they don't know, or I just don't look at all. And on POF I have the 'allow user to see I've looked at their profile' set to NO.

:o

OP posts:
watchoutforthatsnail · 17/10/2011 12:48

you need to pm us his username so we can check him out.

and i totally understand the blonde thing. never in my life have i ever been attracted to a blonde man, they just are not sexy.
However, a dirty blonde who looks like desmond from lost ( with some stubble) might work ;)
oh.. bloody hell, im all bloody nervous for you.

Snapespeare · 17/10/2011 12:53

Morning Poppa!

I can't get (too) sozzled, need to be to collect boys and out again by 6 this evening...

PM'd you Snail. :)

watchoutforthatsnail · 17/10/2011 13:01

cant view it :( cant find the username search bit on there.

so - you dont have to go back to work then?
could be a long lunch ;)

Snapespeare · 17/10/2011 13:19

well technically no, but I can say I have to go back if he's awful IRL.

resent you a link. :)

need to leave in ten minutes. bloodybloody hell!

watchoutforthatsnail · 17/10/2011 13:21

ok. take a deep breath in, and just do it.
whats the worse that can happen?

go for it ;)

lubeybooby · 17/10/2011 13:22

Enjoy! Hope all goes well :o

lubeybooby · 17/10/2011 13:26

watchoutforthatsnail · 17/10/2011 13:26

god woman.
i have an actual red face.
he is hot.

hotter than mr epic sex, and i was proud of myself for pulling him. No matter how it goes, you get HUGE kudos for getting a date with him.

Zanywany · 17/10/2011 13:26

Hope it goes well Snape

watchoutforthatsnail · 17/10/2011 13:26

watchoutforthatsnail · 17/10/2011 13:28

lubey - i would, but i wouldnt want to with out snape saying so...

if she says its ok, then i will.

Snapespeare · 17/10/2011 13:30

hands off snail! Grin

right, I'm off to brush my teeth again and febreze my gusset.

Do feel free to share his pic while i'm out humiliating myself. Wink

stayforappledunking · 17/10/2011 13:31

Hello strangers!

Snape - good luck with the doctor, your outfit sounds great!

Lubey - looking forward to seeing how posh place date works out, hopefully he is as adaptable as you Smile

Watch - it does sound like it might be best to cancel. A lot of money for a date with a guy that doesn't suit what you are looking for.

Have loads more to catch up on...time,shiny,hairy,hate,poppa.....you can't all half yack on! Grin

stayforappledunking · 17/10/2011 13:32

Pm me tooooo! I NEED to see GrinGrin
