do i want to ask what fanny batter is? Blush

swallowedAfly · 01/12/2011 15:56

i now seem to have a fantastic sex life via text messages but seriously can't take much more - need to erm... well deals need sealing iykwim.

he asked if he could come over tonight but albeit in bed ds will be here and i think it's better till my folks are back and can have him for a night (though i don't think he was suggesting coming for deal signing).

frustration levels are high and rising.

swallowedAfly · 01/12/2011 15:57

better to wait till that should have read. sorry. distracted.

Single Dad pof user.

A bit of a success story I've managed a few dates with a very nice lady.

And believe me pof can be as much a minefield for men as women, well maybe not quite as bad from what I've heard.

Snapespeare · 01/12/2011 16:03

deal signing! :)

'fanny batter' suggests a rather nasty discharge, doesn't it. therefore a lack of standards has a far higher risk of fanny-batter. umm, pants-puddle? moistened gusset?

you can tell it's been far too long when I spend time making up euphamisms for vaginal lubrication, rather than actually doing anything about it ...

Snapespeare · 01/12/2011 16:05
Blush
Youllbewaiting · 01/12/2011 16:10

Good time to post on a thread.

I think I'll discharge off.

Snapespeare · 01/12/2011 16:19

sorry youll [blush blush blush]

did you have to wade through a lot of scary women on pof to find your very nice lady?

swallowedAfly · 01/12/2011 16:24

welcome Youllbe.

swallowedAfly · 01/12/2011 16:26

yes and deal signing... Smile

which i'm really a bit nervous about. don't think i've ever slept with anyone with a proper six pack before let alone since having a child and breastfeeding Hmm

Youllbewaiting · 01/12/2011 16:36

It's not me I've got an 18 pack.

I think the POF experience for men is a bit different, we tend to have to start the messaging, and I probably got a reply about 1 every 10 messages.

I think some people are a bit unrealistic in their expectations, it's been an experience though.

adamschic · 01/12/2011 16:52

Snape Shock. Slaps hand, you nearly scared off a fella there. Grin

Youll I reckon I'm definitely being unrealistic. I probably reply to 1 in 10 messages if I'm on a roll other than that it will be 1 in 20. No point wasting anyone's time if you don't fancy the photo or think the profile is dull or it might be that they are too far away to have a realistic relationship with. I'd rather stay single and I know a few of us feel the same way on here.

watchoutforthatsnail · 01/12/2011 16:56

swallowed, as said a million times before, he wont care. promise.

snape, can youi not bend the standards for a bit of fun in the meantime? i certainly did that this summer, and while it was not sucessful on the relationship front, it was sucessful on the sex front. I had to get laid.....!!!!

adams -sorry you are feeling a bit down. Its the time of year, i felt that way last week too. Not going to try and list reasons why its great to be single, because if you are feeling a bit crap, then you are feeling a bit crap. Go easy on yourself and im sure you will be feeling a bit better ina few days.

swallowedAfly · 01/12/2011 17:09

can we stop talking about sex please. it is so tempting to just say yeah come over later tonight and shag his brains out on the sofa.

newbabynewmum · 01/12/2011 17:13

It's bad to have sex with someone just for sex isn't it?! Because that might be me soon. It's been long long time!!

swallowedAfly · 01/12/2011 17:14

i'm betting it's been longer for me.

swallowedAfly · 01/12/2011 17:16

i feel i want someone to tell me that i should have him over and shag him.

how come you can go ages without sex and think nothing of it and then the minute there is sex on the horizon it's suddenly torturously frustrating? or is this just me? and should i shut up about sex now!?!? Grin

newbabynewmum · 01/12/2011 17:23

That is exactly me at the moment. It's all Ive thought about all week now. And I don't really even have anyone lined up!

What have you got to lose?! Just do it!

itsalladirtylie · 01/12/2011 17:25

umm, nope it isnt bad to have sex because you want sex, any more than it is bad to eat food because you are hungry, or drink liquid because you are thirsty.

To extend the analogy...clearly it is better to make sure that the food you eat/liquid that you drink isnt something that you find unpalatable..so prob best to shag someone that you fancy and feel comfortable with :)

itsalladirtylie · 01/12/2011 17:28

have him over and shag him swallowed, it doesnt have to be a whole night, that way you get sex and later you can sleep in comfort with the bed to yourself, no snoring:)

newbabynewmum · 01/12/2011 17:31

Good call itsalladirtylie Smile

itsalladirtylie · 01/12/2011 18:07

the biggest hurdle (I think) is finding someone that you like enough to want to shag.
I'm currently messaging/texting with 3 blokes, but have been evading the actual meeting because I'm so pessimistic about the likelihood of fancying any of them in the flesh.

I just hate that awful moment when you first see them and get that sinking feeling
One has a very sexy voice, I suspect thats just going to make the disappointment harder to deal with.

Furthermore..I was seeing a couple of guys over the summer who were both exceptionally good in bed. I suspect that anyone else is going to be a disappointment from now on:(

newbabynewmum · 01/12/2011 18:17

I feel the same. I'm getting on very well with pre-date coffee man by text but this worries me even more because I blatantly won't like him in the flesh. I'm not ready for the disappointment!

newbabynewmum · 01/12/2011 18:18

Sexy voice will make it worse. I've had that before with a man ... Massive let down!

adamschic · 01/12/2011 20:37

Oh my potential has resurfaced and so has another one. I only went for a shower and things might be looking up Grin.
