I've not heard from him since friday night so maybe its off anyway, think I'll text him

lubeybooby · 23/10/2011 12:17

Has he replied yet?

Me to re the hangover. Drank too much wine with the neighbour. My 'date' is supposed to be at 2 but he hasn't confirmed so I'm not going, gawd I hope he knows he is supposed to text. I did tell him to. May go back to bed instead.

Are you going to see Mr Y Zany?

No potential with the neighbour and now I feel crap because even though I've spelt it out to him I feel I've led him on. Theres nothing wrong with him at all but just not for me. It's always the case isn't it.

adamschic · 23/10/2011 13:55

What planet are some of these people from? I wasn't sure if the guy knew he had to text so I sent him a message to say it was cancelled and guess what no reply. How f-g rude. Makes me want to delete my profile from POF it's really is plenty of shit.

Rant over.

TimeForMeIsFree · 23/10/2011 14:09

No Hangover here today thank God. Last weekend was a total write off so I won't be repeating that for a while.

Lubey had a sneaky look on FB and I think he looks lovely! I think you should marry him and we can all be bridesmaids Grin

hatesponge · 23/10/2011 14:29

adams thats really rude of him. Bad enough he hadn't text you to confirm, but then not even to reply to you...v poor.

no hangover here either, will be making up for it next weekend though as am out with the girls. I'm the only single one so this means they will be making me talk to men. And being tipsy blind drunk helps with that Grin

stayforappledunking · 23/10/2011 14:58

Time - Your cat to be sounds lovely! You will have to let me peek at your profile when its done, I am fully confident it will attract the better class of men Grin

Lubey - I cant remember who you are on fb, I think initials MH?! I want to see your man!! Hope your evening was swishy!

Sponge - I agree with time, fire off a text saying you had a nice time but dont see any potential and be done with it. You do not have to date him again out of guilt! Though if you fancy him even a little...you could give him another shot?

Charlotte - Enjoy dubai you crazy person and be careful! ;)

Adams - Men always think you have lead them on regardless. It soothes their ego when you arent interested. Other non texting guy is an arse.

Have two weeks to wait until I see S again. I am not a patient person! Grin

PoppaRob · 23/10/2011 15:09

Lots of chats with two potentials this weekend. One is pretty full on and happy go lucky, the other quite a bit quieter. Going on previous experience I decided to concentrate on the quieter one (who is a friend of a friend in real life) and so far so good. We're probably going to catch up down at the beach on Thursday night.

lubeybooby · 23/10/2011 15:11

Yeah I'm MH stay and BoR is TLL on my friends list

Right feeoing a bit better now, He texted me to make sure it was still on and I've just got back. OMG he is hot. Not sure how much spark there was though as there were some awkward silences but I don't know if that was just because I felt so rough so wasn't as chatty as I normally would be. Don't know how he feels about me, will see if I hear from him. He did say he was very nervous, he enjoyed meeting uo and that I looked lovely but whe we said bye he shook hands!!!!!!!!

adamschic · 23/10/2011 16:56

Zany, a hottie, great. Shaking hands is a bad sign I would think. Then again I got a peck in the cheek once and still didn't hear from him again.

hatesponge · 23/10/2011 18:14

zany, great that you felt an attraction. how did the hand shaking come about, did he put his hand forward first? some guys are just v nervous/polite, others just go for it. think daytime dates are probably more difficult in that respect. Have you heard from him at all?

No more from my date. Thankfully Grin. I appear to have another potential date. I don't know if I fancy him from his photos (he's an attractive guy but not my usual type) but he is v funny and I think we would have a great laugh if nothing else :)

Zanywany · 23/10/2011 20:07

I think he was very nervous, I'm the first person he has met from a dating site. Well he texted me about an hour after our date to say that he thinks I'm fantastic and would like to meet again. He has just texted again to ask me for a meal on Friday. Iam very surprised [hsmile]

Good news on the potential date sponge

hatesponge · 23/10/2011 20:15

ah zany thats lovely :) hope fri goes well.

my date is also on fri. He is not my type. But he is funny. I would share his POF name (so you can have a look and give me your opinions) but he has his profile hidden (actually is that a bit weird do we think?)

adamschic · 23/10/2011 20:17

Zany, good and that blows my theory about the handshake out the window Grin.

Well the one I was meant to be meeting sent a 'wants to meet' message today! Thought it was bizarre then realised that he had text me earlier to say he'd only just got back from somewhere a couple of hours after we were due to meet. (I was asleep). Still find the communication a bit lacks so I'm not answering.

hatesponge · 23/10/2011 22:31

adams, he seems a bit flaky. I'd ignore him.

adamschic · 24/10/2011 10:08

I am ignoring him now. Tbh he lived a bit far away so I didn't hold out much hope. Replied to a new message today and he lives much nearer so fingers crossed. I guess if you hedge your bets and meet a few then you have a better chance of clicking.

wrigglytummy · 24/10/2011 11:49

I'm back, apologies, I have been offline for a few days - busy with work and family stuff.
I am just about caught up with all your news:
Adams sorry about the flakey date, but I like you dating by numbers policy, I hope it works out.
Zany he sounds lovely, I hope it keeps getting better.
Sponge good luck on Fri.
Lubey Sounds like you had a good weekend.
Time nice cat!
Charlotte looking forward to your next update
...I think that is everyone? If not, sorry, I will go back & re-read.
I had a very impromtu date with a plan B yesterday afternoon, very hot stuff, ended up snogging him Blush
which is absolutely not my style. We have planned to both take a day off on Fri and have a 2nd date, but I am petrified that he will want to do an 'overnighter'!

I need to broach the no-shagging-on-the-2nd-date-because- I-am-too-scared-of-him-flaking-afterwards thing, also I do not really trust myself to be strong as he is pretty hot! I want to change my ways & be more relaxed about life, but not too relaxed just yet.

adamschic · 24/10/2011 11:54

wriggly, have a lovely date on Friday and get yourself home alone. Remember you don't have to do anything that you don't want to and if he's a decent enough guy he will respect that.

lubeybooby · 24/10/2011 12:06

Hi all

Wriggly yeah I had a good weekend ta. Seeing him again at some point this week.

Just hope my poor face de-puffs and my eyes de-bloodshot! Because I was sick from drinking too much sat night I've got loads of burst blood vessels in my face and eyes and I'm all puffy. I look shockingly bad!

lubeybooby · 24/10/2011 12:09

Hi everyone Smile

RSPCA coming to do house inspection today so we may well be able to pick up Lulu sooner than expected! We had a walk to the pet shop this morning and spent a fortune bought all her supplies so we are ready to roll! Can't wait!!

My newly revamped profile is attracting a lot of attention (thank you stay Smile) a better class of idiot, having said that I did get chatting to a nice local bloke last night, turns out he was in the year above me at school!! Small world! I wouldn't say he is my type or what I am looking for but night meet him for a coffee out of curiosity. He is working abroad at the moment so I have time to think about it.

Hope everyone else is well and doing ok on the dating/searching front.

wriggly I totally agree with adamschic, you do not have to do anything you don't feel comfortable with. If he is going to have a hissy fit because he doesn't get a shag on the second date then he is a knob not the man for you. I don't think you should even feel you have to broach the subject, just say 'NO' at the time. Or, if you find yourself melting then just go with it. Just relax and enjoy Smile
