Continued from Makes post and in reply of:

Make just ask him. Why not? And of course you are going to be a bit of a mystery woman, he's only just blooming met you! Send him a message saying if he fancies unravelling a bit of the mystery then to get in touch because you would like to see him again. Be playful, be teasing, be fun, make him want you Make Grin

I'm pleased you are having fun but I do have to ask, is all this dating costing you loads of money?? New outfits etc Grin

Joining Time in the 'what watch said' corner

StayForNoone · 16/01/2012 17:33

Yep I think watch summed it up pretty well! :)

catwithflowers Ice skating! I went iceskating at the end of december, and loved it! A drive and lunch out somewhere? Swimming! Erm. Thats about the extent of my imagination currently!

TimeForSomeAction · 16/01/2012 17:44

How about bowling catwithflowers I love bowling. Although that can be blooming expensive. Are there any hills where you live? Pack a flask and some nice biscuits, wrap up warm and take him up a hill with a pair of binoculars and do some star gazing. That's free and romantic! Grin

watchoutforthatsnail · 16/01/2012 17:50

TimeForSomeAction · 16/01/2012 17:54

Ah but it's not got involve sex or alcohol watch.

Is 'flash of hot choc' a euphemism? Grin

If no sex is allowed then I think it's best to stay out of the house so stick to the hill and the stars. You won't want to get your kit off in this weather!

Ah, I.didn't read that bit. Lol

Reminds me of once, year ago, aged about 18, a serious snogging session under a viaduct.... ( no where else to go for privacy) and it being so cold our tongues froze together..

Classy.

Grin

That's just reminded me of a Winter snogging session and a bit of a fondle behind the wall of remembrance in a crematorium. I was so hard in those days, didn't even wear a vest coat when I went out.

I am a lay-dee!Hmm

something2say · 16/01/2012 22:57

Hello all, lots going on I see!! And mention of sex-aplenty! I shall join in!!!!

There are now 5 of them!!! How did it get to this?

Well man 1 is nice, he has my number, I have been flirting with him, he is an expunk, I like that sort.

hatesponge · 16/01/2012 23:01

zany hope you sort things out re XP & MrYacht. I have been in a controlling relationship (ironically I hate ever being told what to do, not quite sure how I ended up in that position) but equally I wouldn't go within 100ft of any of my horrible Exs. But if you knew XP before you were in a relationship I suppose that blurs it all a bit...I'm sure you will work it out though :)

watch is the teacher all back on then? hope so - am liking that you like it when he texts Grin

Mr Champage is back Grin but he overpunctuates ie why use one question mark? when you can use three??? slightly annoying. But still rather nice.

And meanwhile the other 2 have been texting me most of the day. I'm not used to any texting me. Let alone 2! Had to ignore them this afternoon to get some work done Grin

They have both been very respectful, no textspeak, no smut, no calling me hun. And they both want to take me out at the weekend Grin.

So in the red corner we have, the bodybuilder. V v muscly, not my usual type physically. Quite sweet and complimentary in a non sleazy way. Had what sounds like a mid life crisis (except he's only mid 20s) last year quit his job and finished with his GF. Single since then (though he has got another job!) and just wants something more FWB than full relationship. Or so he says. Sent me a pic earlier which I was scared would be a cockshot but it was just him at the gym :) He is too young for me really but there's something 'nice' about him. And he lives in my town!

In the blue corner, we have the snakecharmer (he has a snake & some other reptile-y thing!). Also a lot younger than me, has 3 DC. Very keen to meet me, but also seems very understanding about being a single parent - I guess cos he is one albeit his DC don't live with him. I blocked him by mistake and he set up another profile to message me again...which I thought was quite sweet and hopefully not too needy! Lives nearly an hour away. Bordering on over-keen (but this is me who feels more comfortable if men actually seem totally uninterested in me!)

So we shall see what they're like in the flesh....

something2say · 16/01/2012 23:14

Aww hatessponge that's really sweet, they both sound lovely!!

Its so hard when two different men are lovely in two different ways!!

EllenandBump · 16/01/2012 23:25

I have had 35 visitors to my profile but only 6 messages...does this mean no one fancies me?? Two turned into nothing, two i ignored...not my type and one i am talking to, the other i am undecided on. Complete virgin to online dating!

bitsnbobs · 17/01/2012 06:56

Good luck for your date Bits. Jeans and a nice top is probably the way forward.

EllenandBump · 17/01/2012 09:25

I am not sure about long term relationships yet, i am going to take it slowly and see where it leads from there. It does say that on my profile so i am not misleading anyone, and that i am a mum, just incase mummyxxxxx didnt give any one a clue!!

lubeybooby · 17/01/2012 09:35

Catswithflowers

I was very very interested in a proper, full on love long term relationship for a few months last year. I was freshly out of a relationship and really missed the whole love thing desperately. I kept up the search for about 6 months and in that time had a lot of dates and one very short lived relationship of about a month.

Then I suddenly realised I was too busy and knackered and didn't really miss love anymore. So now I'm just enjoying myself wildly and intend to do so for at least a year before looking seriously again :o

lubeybooby · 17/01/2012 09:36

bitsnbobs what are your choices of what to wear? Whats in the running? :)

TimeForSomeAction · 17/01/2012 09:49

Catswithflowers I'm very happily single too, love my life, love living with just DD and don't want anything to change that so, although I would like a long term thing, I would like to have something nice with someone, I'm not looking for a live in partner or marriage. Because I am so happy with my life I'm not desperate to meet someone and not in any rush but I would like to have sex again Grin It's been a while!
