Belting out Adele songs to your 27 cats... dating chat thread #5

[lubeybooby]

New one! Off we go :o All kind of dating, chat here.

sod him then! If he get's irritated by you then good riddance to him!

he just text me to say he can't wait til Sat. let's hope he's not disappointed!

ps - your hol plans sound great. and am sure you can get a shop delivered, that will keep you going for the week! (I confess I am somewhat frugal as well)

Hurray! Ooh am excited for you sponge

My inbox is empty!!!! Nothing happening at all here. Not even any mingers!!

Nothing wrong with being tight frugal. I quite enjoy the challenge of saving as much money as I can. I even walk the 7 mile round trip to town and back to save £4 in bus fares. Keeps me fit too. knackered when I've done it though

Had a text from Mr Friday Night and am expecting a call soon. I am as nervous about 2nd date in case he might want sex, don't get me wrong I am not a prude but my body looks like stretch marked rice pudding and it has been so long (4 years since I last had sex and only with exh during marriage.
Was a bit fast and loose before marriage but am scared to death of getting my body out!

Yeah for saturday Sponge

I'm just getting the idiots on POF at the moment, I got this message today 'God I think I have found the woman I've been looking for' I told him to keep searching!

My Yacht gone quiet and Mr Roller skate sending boring texts. Ahhhh Fed up.com

Go for it daisy don't worry about your body - and of course even if he wants a shag you don't have to unless you feel very lusty and want to :o

Seriously though I have more stretchmarks than anyone I know. I don't let it bother me - I've only ever had positivity and compliments on my body even though I'm a fat cellulitey stretchmarked mess. Men don't care about this shit a millionth as much as we do. Relax and enjoy (and candlelight is very flattering )

Well this is annoying. I'm waiting for BoR to text me before I raise the issue... nothing yet!

Thanks lubey I have always had self image issues and having lost weight I have a lot of excess skin. I look ok in clothes but naked nothing is where god intended it to be :).

I will try and relax and see what happens.

Agree with lubey daisy, you are obviously not ready desperate enough for a shag getting unclothed yet if you are worried. A few weeks back I was worrying about all the same things but I'm desperate to get back on the horse over it now. As long as the sheets are clean that's all that matters! In all seriousness though, I find a bit of fake tan helps, makes everything look so much prettier

Keep watching and waiting for that text lubey and keep well away from Bejewelled!

Apologies for absence (mmeD here) but had the evil lords of Virgin Broadband play wily beguiled with my internet access. (note to self pay bill).

Well, I seem to have a bit of an OKCupid so far success story. At worst, a marvellous (am I allowed to underline marvellous?) FWB, at best, who knows? so a rather nice ongoing story.

have also picked up lots of info on what the lads expect on OKCupid. Apparently is is known for is more "relaxed morals" ahem. Ie more chance of a kinky shag. Just passing the info on.

Present OKC FWB is rather lovely. Human rights lawyer. Though more Billy Bragg than Colin Firth. a smidgen younger. and keen as mustard. (well, of course).

But I am, in good old fashioned our thread way, keeping the jury locked up with takeaways and sudoku books until I decide one way or t'other.

The sex is mindblowing btw.

Oh excellent stuff Don :o

Nice one Don. Surprising tips about OK Cupid

thanks lubey. All a bit of a surprise, actually. was much keener of another chap, who kept shilly shallying about meeting.

Then Mark Darcy (ahem) pootled out of the woodwork, thought he would be good for getting back in the saddle, and turns out to be lovely and totally hot in the sack.

Whoda thought it?

Still, lots yet to be seen. we had lunch today, where he joked it was the first time we had met without having done it.

So date five was date one. sort of. Date three went on for 24 hours.

I'm knackered. But trying to think of it as an intensive excercise regime.

Daisy - shall we compare stretch marks? My stomach looks like a wet paper bag filled with rice pudding. Not my most attractive feature! it does make me somewhat reluctant to take off my clothes in front of someone 'new' but If someone likes you rather than just wanting to have a shag they won't care. and if someone is just up for a shag... they won't care.

Don high-fives.

Hi ladies is this what used to be the fit and interesting thread? I used to post on that but when i moved to the midlands to be with DG we didnt have internet access for ages. For those that remember im still with DG has been 13 months now. I recognise a few names Sponge,Snape and Adamschic what happened to everyone did anyone else end up in a relationship. [hsmile]

Oh and if we are talking stretchmarks i win.Mine are everywhere bum,thighs and tummy.I find fake tan helps.

hello beaut! :)

stretchmark role-call..in order of horrendousness.

stomach. huge, striped like a tiger. battle scars!
thighs. yup. not quite as impressive,
bum - don't know. can't see it and don't want to look!
boobs. yup. very fine and silvery from teenage years and a growth spurt - didn't accumulate any more during pregnancy.
upper arms. to gently accentuate my bingo wings.

however, that said. I'm fairly comfortable with them - they're evidence that I have given birth to my wonderful children - and eaten a lot of KFC. I don't want to be with a shallow man who believes women should resemble air-brushed perfection.

My body looks like a mororway map of Great Britain, I have them from calf to boobs. The ones on my hips are 1" wide and resemble flames. Fake tan and I do not get on my natural colour being pale blue :) I dont have to worry about the sex thing on Friday as nature has ensured that won't be happening, so that is one worry off my mind.
Going out for a drink on Friday he wanted to take me for a meal but I don't feel ready for that yet so drink it is.
Now what does one wear on a 2nd date? I have some slim leg dogstooth trousers with a black top?

oops motorway!

i do like this stretch-mark one-up-man-ship. it reminds me of 'oh! we were poor when I were a lass, we had beans for dinner every night'... 'Beans!? we had toast!' 'toast? you lucky bastards! we had cardboard!' I'm sure men don't worry about this at all. I'm off to trawl mens forums for some insight - unless there are some men lurking here?

Hi Snape (waves).

Forget about the stretchmarks the vast majority of women have them from either pregnancy or quick weight loss or gain. Just have a drink or two and you will be fine.

I was just about to start a thread in conception or chat as DG really wants to start ttc after christmas. Im not sure but i dont know if its because i think its too soon or just the panic of being pregnant having had an awful time of it with the ex.

I have been broody for ages and 30 was my cut off point ill be 31 in the new year.Anyway how is the dating going????

Snape What happened with train man?Do you still see him?

Do Lou,Aurora or any of the others still come on here?

honestly, my stomach is awful and i have no feeling in the lower part of it AND its doing that attractive folding over thing following stomach surgery for a massive cyst and then a c section.
noone has ever said anything.

i too have heard that about okc. I too can confirm that about okc ahem
:)

sponge - fantastic. really excited for you :) :) :)

time - yeah, i cook myself and do a weeks shopping too. Spending money of £20 a day is MORE than enough too, and that includes days out at attractions. have a hunt for discount codes and things before you go too.

Its date day today. Quite excited, lots nervous. We are still texting like people who have nothing better todo.. fingers crossed.

( and its my dogs birthday... i sang to him this morning, not adele though!)

Loving the matching tummy's - mine is buggered but I quite like it now and no one has ever had a problem with it - not one they've voiced anyway

I have decided to go for fun for now and have been messaging the biggest, muscled blokes I can find Quite a few have answered too

I am feeling a bit fed up with all this dating crap at the moment. Supposed to have a date lined up for Sunday but he has gone all quiet which is really disappointing as he seemed lovely. Should have another date for Tuesday but just getting brief replies to any texts so not sure why I bother if that will still go ahead.

Which sites are you all using. When i was dating i found POF and single with kids awful. Met DG on eharmony.Really wasn't sure on the site at first but give it a while and you reealise it really is good and the mammoth form you have to fill in on likes,dislikes,values is worth it. Guardian Soulmates was also good.

ooh date day snail! :) new pants?

beaut - I changed job, so go on a different train line now. Chatting to a couple of blokes on soulmates now - options open-ish. one is some dort of sound/lighting tech for all the big summer festivals. he's quite sweet, but not in the doctors league. The other is as dull as dishwater...
