It's a shame it isn't next weekend lubey, you sound great for Halloween! Grin

Zanywany · 24/10/2011 12:17

Don't feel that you have to do anything Wriggly that your no comfortable with. If ever I dod invite a date back to mine after 2/3 dates I have to admit I am quite open and say that coffee is the only thing on offer as body language/flirting/inviting in for coffee can imply one thing. God that makes me sound like a tease but hope you know what I mean.

I'm supposed to be having my roller skating date tomorrow but it feels kind of wrong as I have a second date with Mr Yacht. And my legs/feet are in agony still after stumbling around on the dance floor Saturday night.

lubeybooby · 24/10/2011 12:21

Ooooh Time exciting news about the cat! Good work with the profile too glad it's working :)

I can't wait lubey I can't remember ever feeling so excited!! Grin

TimeForMeIsFree · 24/10/2011 12:24

Grin Post a pic lubey! Give us a larf!!

Zany don't cancel the roller skating date! I was looking forward to hearing all about that one! Grin

lubeybooby · 24/10/2011 12:28

I don't blame you! it's a whole new member of the family and she (was it a she?) sounds absolutely gorgeous.

I haven't sold my cats on ebay despite being coupled up at the moment Wink

He wanted me to go over to his today but I look too awful so I can't. Got to wait in for Npower to do something with my leccy meter too. :( not fair a daytime shag date would have been great today.

Excited for you Time about your new addition. I remember going to buy food, bed etc when we got our puppy, I was more excited than the DC's were Grin

Shame about missing out on your daytime shag date Lubey but sure you will make up for it.

ballroomblitz · 24/10/2011 13:21

Hey there hope you don't mind me jumping in. Was directed by a couple of posters on a thread I started about internet dating.

I'm meant to be meeting a fella off POF on Sunday. Have made it a daytime coffee date rather than drinks. I'm quite nervous, which isn't like me at all. Everybody else I've dated we've had friends in common so there hasn't been awkward getting to know you conversations. Feel like a silly schoolgirl again :)

lubeybooby · 24/10/2011 13:28

Don't mind at all ballroomblitz the more the merrier and all that!

Good luck with your date, I think it's pretty normal to be nervous especially the first time you try internet dating! I met my current new bloke on POF, really not sure if it will be a lasting thing but he has surprised me so far and all is going well so who knows?

Anyway what will you wear?

Thanks girls, he lives well over an hour away, so the overnight thing may rear its head. It is not that I do not want to, I just do not think that 2nd date shagging is for me as much I I am desperate and he is hot as I'm trying to be cool and grown up about all of this.
Hi Ballroom, welcome Brew
Zany the roller skating date sounds great, if you can handle 2 I think you should go for it Grin
Time I love that your cat is going to be called Lulu

TimeForMeIsFree · 24/10/2011 13:41

Yes lubey she is a she. truly gorgeous Smile

Thank you Zany. DD has commented this morning that I seem more excited than she is Grin. I think I probably am but that's because I know that I'm going to have good company now when DD is at her dad's. You can't have quite the same level of conversation with a hamster as you can a cat Grin

Welcome ballroomblitz Smile I understand where you are coming from re the nerves and excitement. I quite liked all those feelings of anticipation, it was the actual date that was an anti climax!

ballroomblitz · 24/10/2011 13:42

Ohhh god I hadn't even thought of that... Cue lots of stress and tearing out of wardrobe. I am normally a jeans person though unless I'm heading out for the night.

How many dates did you go on before you met your current bloke lubey? Have you been seeing him long?

Yeah I have another different bloke lined up for a first date next week and kind of one on the go atm taht I met through college. Keeping my options open Grin

Very dubious as my last couple of relationships have turned out disasterous.

ballroomblitz · 24/10/2011 13:43

Thanks TimeForMeIsFree. That doesn't sound good. Still single then? :)

TimeForMeIsFree · 24/10/2011 13:45

Thanks wriggly DD chose her name but I approve.

Listen, even if it does turn out to be an overnighter you still don't have to do the deed. I stayed over at ExP's in the early days but I didn't have sex with him because to be honest I didn't fancy him I still wasn't sure about him. Staying over doesn't mean you have to have sex. Just have the confidence and be assertive enough to say No. It will be absolutely fine Smile

lubeybooby · 24/10/2011 13:47

Ballroom I've met oh errr.... about 5 men ish in 6 months or so of online dating before meeting this one. In previous years though before my relationship that ended in May I've met loads and loads and loads. About 45 dates worth, over a couple of years prior to April 2010, and had a couple of short relationships and one long one. Most didn't get past the first date either no spark or whatever. I'm a very fussy bugger though!

OP posts:
TimeForMeIsFree · 24/10/2011 13:47

Oh yes, but still happy! I'm not unhappy being single I would just love a shag like some grown up male company, some nice nights out and a bit of attention.

wrigglytummy · 24/10/2011 13:50

Time as ever we see eye to eye on lots of things. I would be happy for him to stay, but not dod the deed - I just feel that I need to spell that out to him. If he doesn't like it he transits direct to the ID reject bin Smile
I will chat to him later.
I am normally a knickers of steel kind of girl, but during the 1st date my knees felt distincly wobbly, a feeling I have not experienced for many years...

TimeForMeIsFree · 24/10/2011 13:50

This one must be a good one then lubey Smile

TimeForMeIsFree · 24/10/2011 13:56

I would mention it in a casual but positive sort of way wriggly as in, "you are welcome to stay over if you like, to save you the journey home, I have a spare room/comfy sofa you are welcome to use" Then it's out there and off your mind Smile

You never know, you might find those knickers of steel melting with all the heat Wink

lubeybooby · 24/10/2011 13:59

Time's suggestin is brill wriggly. I've said exactly that before when previous dates have had to travel a bit and staying here would be an option so we can have a drink and a good night and they don't have to drive, but wasn't sure about the possible sex/no sex thing - I've offered my very comfy sofa before.

OP posts:
Zanywany · 24/10/2011 14:02

I have said that before too regarding staying over and it was fine knickers of steel melted though

Wecome Ballroom the more the merrier. I hve been on a couple of first dates the last month and get really nervous, especially if I like/fancy the guy from pictures etc beforehand. I have brought a couple of new tops, here is nothing like a confidence booster that new clothes Grin

hatesponge · 24/10/2011 14:03

wriggly, I would say just go with the flow, but I am less sensible a bad influence

still nothing further from Saturday's date. Which on the one hand is good, cos if he'd asked to see me again I would have to have said no. But on the other a bit weird - he didn't even say it was nice to meet me (which of course it was, I'm lovely Grin) which I think is a bit rude.

Still messaging Friday's potential date. I think he is just looking for a shag. This is not necessarily a bad thing, I do need to get back on that horse sooner or later, it has been nearly 3 years Blush So will see what happens. I probably won't fancy him in RL (I don't most men) and that will be the end of it!

ballroomblitz · 24/10/2011 14:09

Wow lubey - you most definately need 'that' spark though.

Time - I think that's the only reason ex-college friend is on the go. I can't live without a shag for very long :)

TimeForMeIsFree · 24/10/2011 14:11

Mr Nice Local Man has asked me out to dinner when he gets back from SA. Somewhere nice of my choosing.

I dunno..........

I think I need to do a bit more chatting first, get to know a bit more about him. I don't even know his name yet.
