lubey, im glad he apolgised, even though it wasnt a direct apology, it was one of those sneaky ones when someone says sorry you felt that way, but isnt actually saying sorry for what they did.
I know this, because i do it all the time :)
lol
still, he did say sorry, rather than having a go, and if hes generally ok, and the sex is worth it... then :) seems you have yourself a boyfriend!

and i hate hun,. babe makes me cringe and baby makes me want to slap someone.

Of course i can stay away from the rum, but it is so very very good. I didnt shag the policeman or the metal guy, i dont just shag them all!!! lol. There will be no shagging. Horrible pants and a purposely untended bikini line will ensure that ( remembers drunk shaving of bikini area in a hurry after a date in the summer..)

anyway. Bloody nervous.

AND, my birthday boy has finally pulled me a man. Got chatting to a very nice man in the park. who said ' nice talking to you, hope to see you around some time'
so - it does work. even if its taken 10 years!

stayforappledunking · 20/10/2011 16:57

watch - Grin I never said you did! Just you seem unsure about your resolve with this one!

lubeybooby · 20/10/2011 17:00

It's funny how we're all so different with the pet names thing! I like babe. I LOVE baby... long as it's said by a nice deep manly voice that is Wink I hate hun but will tolerate hon.

And yes I do seem to have myself a boyfriend! Should be seeing him this weekend as DD is off to her dads at last.

I do suspect he won't be a long term thing btw... he might prove me wrong Shock but I suspect not. But anyway for now it's good being adored and having everything straightforward. And I do like him and want to shag him half to death regularly so that's a start :o

stayforappledunking · 20/10/2011 17:03

Lubey - Congrats! You are generally meant to want to shag your bf to the verge of death regularly in the beginning. Entirely correct and off to a good start.

I REALLY can't bear babe, baby, honey or hun.

But then again my Ex (not the Evil one I hasten to add) used to call me Princess Blush which I actually liked. Oh the shame!

stay my Saturday date had an altercation with several blokes at work (he's a door supervisor bouncer) and came off worst.

lubeybooby · 20/10/2011 18:16

Princess... PRINCESS! but not honey or baby? We are a funny lot.

What about treacle, pumpkin, honeypuddle, darling, dear and cupcake? :o

i hate all endearments except the very personal ones. my grudgingly platonic male friend calls me by a special nick-name. i do the same to him. no-one else has these pet names, i like that.

although, I am calling the doctor 'sweetie' as part of my seduction process, as he has a big River Song crush.

snail rum + old pants & untamed bikini line? this could be interesting, but suspect you just won't fancy him. :)

Zanywany · 20/10/2011 19:46

Snail rum + old pants untamed bikini line could = rum + quick change and shave Grin

Well I have managed to embarrass myself. Just been to the gym, timed as usual to be in the sauna atthe same time as the builders go in. I had a powershower after my swim and before the sauna so I was dripping wet, sit down in the sauna and my costume made a big squelshing sound. Sounded like I farted! No wonder I'm single. SSo embarrasing

watchoutforthatsnail · 20/10/2011 19:50

£20 says I Wont. Curse off the blonde hair.

Here goes nothing :)

TimeForMeIsFree · 20/10/2011 19:57

My ExtwatP used to call me Orville, as in Orville the duck!! The reason being he once saw me in a pub, back in my younger days, and I was wearing a lemon skirt with a lemon top. All the fashion back then I hastily add!! Grin He said I reminded him of Orville Hmm He reminds me of Charles Laughton mmg.photobucket.com/albumview/albums/OLDSCHOOLDAN/CHARLES%20LAUGHTON%20AS%20THE%20HUNCHBACK/laughton-1.jpg.html?o=0

zany Brilliant!!

lubeybooby · 20/10/2011 19:57

Zany lmfao :o

Good luck watch!

Seeing BoR Sat night and my DD is away so yay for that.

Snapespeare · 20/10/2011 19:58

expect full report in approx 4 hours.

2 hours if he's a tit.

8 hours if the rum + old pants + 70s bush aren't enough to dissuade you! . Wink

prettypurpledaisy · 20/10/2011 21:03

I am going to look a right treat for my date tomorrow, the dog cornered a hedgehog in the uncleared area of my garden and I have ripped my hands and face to bits on brambles trying to rescue it.

Still not decided on outfit but had a lovely phone chat yesterday and I am feeling positive (for a change!). Might wear last weeks top as I didn't take my jacket off so he only saw the front not the shoulders, or is that cheating? don't want to keep buying new clothes every date, can't wait for him to see me in my huge ugly green knitted cardigan which I wear all the time when it is cold :).

hatesponge · 20/10/2011 21:09

lubey I know, how can I like that but be so strongly opposed to babe/hun etc!...in my defence I've never done endearments with anyone except him (he was a special case) and I can't imagine wanting anyone else to call me it either luckily Grin

hope watch's date is going well...I'm betting on report in 4 hours (3 now) ie liked him but not enough for drunken shaving!

my shopping mission was a disaster. nothing suitable. stupidly started looking for boots as well, but couldn't find any - my legs are now too thin for boots in Evans but too fat for the ones in every other shop Hmm will have to rummage in the wardrobe pile of clothes in a heap on the floor and see what I can find!

elastamum · 20/10/2011 21:53

Hi All, Have been lurking a bit and just seen my name mentioned up thread so I thought I would pop out from cyberspace and post!

Hi Sponge, yes am still with the lovely man that I met on e harmony in feb. Its been over 6 months and even though he lives a fair way away we are still going strong. He is as lovely as ever, we talk every day and see each other once or twice a week. We have introduced our dc and taken them all away on hols, fortunately we both have teenage boys and they all get on. He has even met my ex, and they seem to like each other!

So not internet dating anymore, but am lurking in the shadows and willing you all on! Smile Wine

lubeybooby · 20/10/2011 21:59

Awww hatesponge sorry your shopping didn't go well. I hate it when that happens

Elastamum lovely update thanks :o

Seasidegirly · 20/10/2011 22:17

Hi everyone - dont know if you remember me but I asked about long distance relationships. eg can they work? Well I went with your advice and asked him to meet me in my home town. The 2nd date went well. Erm a liitle too well. He stayed over. He hasnt really been in touch other than a quick chat on fb. He did say he wanted to meet up again but no firm plans. Oh well I guess I will have to leave the ball in his court. Grrr. Decided not to wait and get sexually frustrated and responded to some others in my inbox.

watchoutforthatsnail · 20/10/2011 23:19

Curse of the blonde hair strikes again.

Plus he wasnt as interesting as I had thought. No flirting. No being charming.

Seriously wtaf is wrong with me. I never fancy anyone.

lubeybooby · 20/10/2011 23:46

Awww :(

Oh well. Next!

OP posts:
Snapespeare · 21/10/2011 09:09

next!

I suggested a second date to the doctor, which hasn't been met with unbridled enthusiasm, obstentiably due to distance, yet we are still chatting away by text. very bizarre. very, very bizarre. Am therefore taking scatter-gun approach to guardian soulmates and messaging five people today. No idea who they are yet.

Zanywany · 21/10/2011 09:20

I really don't get guys that do this Snape. I kept giving excuses for Mr Body as to why he hadn't fixed a second date and yet would chat for hours online and sent constant texts, I realised that when I dated someone who was keen then there was no need for excuses as they made sure they saw you again.

No more blondes for you then snail

Well it's all on with Mr Hot for Sunday. I sent a message last night just asking how things were (should maybe take own advice here and wait for him to message me) and I got a lovely reply back saying he hopes we are still on for Sunday and he is looking forward to meeting me. I am already nervous as I think he is out of my league

watchoutforthatsnail · 21/10/2011 09:58

snape, sometimes they just do. I had the same thing with mr 3 weeks ago. if they want to see you again you wont have to ask or prompt them. Im sure i read something the other day saying if you werent asked for a second date within 36 hours of the last, then its not going to happen.
Id stick him on the backburner, and if he asks, then great, and if he doesnt, then it doesnt matter much.

Hmmm. hes texted me already ( about an hour ago) and we are talking...
It wasnt an awful date like the policeman and the metal guy. It was fine and i did enjoy his company, there was just no flirting or anything. Perhaps he was nervous? perhaps he isnt quite as forward as i can be.
So - if he asks for a second date, do i go? and just see what happens?

and zany - nonsense!
:)

TimeForMeIsFree · 21/10/2011 10:03

I was just saying exactly the same thing to my friend watch. We came to the conclusion that there's nothing wrong with me, I'm just happy with my lot and not so bothered about having 'A Relationship'. I'm still pondering it all. I've just hidden my profile on POF, I need a break from the munters!

This time last week I was changing my sheets!

Snapespeare · 21/10/2011 10:09

yes, doctor on the back-burner. have messaged two guys on soulmates this morning. three to find. part of my 5-a-day. :)

snail. hmm. maybe he was just nervous. but, he is blonde... do you fancy him? maybe one date isn't enopugh to properly make your mind up?
