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

AND - while he has been texting me, hes just pof'ed me on my new profile. ( i literalyl just unhid it)

fucker.

he is so stood up.

lovesadirtylie · 18/01/2012 16:30

watch, I think he absolutely deserves the punishment
(and you're giving me ideas!)

Shag and go-ers are to be avoided I think..on the grounds that a one hit wonder is likely to just want to get himself off and wont care much about her enjoyment.

I recently arranged to meet a bloke, I had specified that it'd just be for a chat, he texted me a couple of days before 'what will we do, meet up and then go back to yours?'
I nearly cancelled there and then but I replied 'no, we're just meeting for a chat'
he cancelled on the morning of the meeting, I suspected he would.
I should have led him on and then cancelled myself...

My pictures are complete crap, I am very unphotogenic so have to search to find one where i'm not gurning.

Watch he sounds pretty arrogant. I couldn't be doing with that.

Guy I like and have been emailing for a few weeks has asked me out for a cup of tea this weekend. What is the protocol here? Should I put him off till next weekend? I don't want to be Miss Always Available but I actually do have a rare free day on Sunday.

watchoutforthatsnail · 18/01/2012 16:31

AND - while im now all disgruntled, ive told the teacher im in twominds about friday. Ive looked at his pics again. he has bad hair.

Depends on his answer if i go,

odds on i wont. and might just give ALL men a wide birth, like make for a few weeks.

Snapespeare · 18/01/2012 16:43

watch I know of a 45 28 year old married man with aspergers who is having arguments with his wife would love to shag meet you...

Grin
lubeybooby · 18/01/2012 16:50

DressingGown I would just go for it and meet him

watchoutforthatsnail · 18/01/2012 17:02

:) snape.

makeyerowndamndinner · 18/01/2012 17:54

Snapes best of luck for your interview! Excited for you.

Watch you don't half make me Grin. That is certainly one way to deal with the dross! Will you come and update us with his "Where the hell are you?" texts? I could do with a laugh.

EllenandBump · 18/01/2012 18:24

I just took a photo on my phone and put it on there. Wrong way round but put it on there. Seem to be getting a few messages but havent messaged back. Maybe i should take more flattering photos of me. Didnt really think much about it though. I am so completely out of the dating seen and useless at internet dating...i really havent got a clue!

You guys do make me laugh. Always good to talk to you! Note to self, keep to dating threads,

watchoutforthatsnail · 18/01/2012 19:36

ah - make. im sorry, ive done it already. i couldnt hold back. He text me ' can i come over tonight' and i said ' no, im busy' he text back ' wouldnt you rather have my massive cock' and i replied, no, because ive a date with one bigger :)

then he replied ' i was only joking anyway'

HAHAH. course he was.

ego bruised i suspect.

serves him right.

BUT, the teacher pulled it out of the bag, i text him that being honest i wsnt sure about friday, and he asked to call... and then did and we nattered for about an hour. and he actually seems really nice. He likes cheese, this makes him ok in my books. Date is on for friday :) and im excited about it... but dont tell anyone that.

watchoutforthatsnail · 18/01/2012 19:43

ok - i dont know.

hes back on the dating site with in an hour of talking to me.

ok - bluntly, do i bother or not?
becausei realyl dont know.....

Snapespeare · 18/01/2012 20:08

Yes, go out with teacher. If you can talk to him for an hour on the phone, you will probably enjoy tea.

Being back on the dating site means nothing. Keeping his options open is all.... so are you.. :)

EllenandBump · 18/01/2012 20:15

Go and see what he is like. If he's an arse you can always tell him to sod off!

EllenandBump · 18/01/2012 20:19

Or maybe he thinks you wont bother turning up. Poor bloke. And maybe he really likes you and wants to meet you

Like someone said, please can i go back to being 4/5 when it was soo much less complicated!

hatesponge · 18/01/2012 20:44

watch deffo go on Friday. Snape's right, you'll have a nice time if you can chat for an hour.

I do think all men are full of shit though. Further examples as follows:

Mr Champagne is sending me a daily message on POF but has gone massively quiet about taking me to football.

Snakecharmer is still texting me, but with a lot less apparent enthusiasm. Said he was ill today - suspect he is lining up an excuse to cancel Saturday Hmm

The bodybuilder has been entirely silent today, I text him early afternoon and no reply. Odd because on Monday I was gorgeous and lovely and he was so excited about taking me out Hmm Twat. And he's the one I have a mutual friend with, so much for thinking he was ok.

I really do wonder why I bother with men. They are all the same aren't they?!

Go out with the teacher Watch if you still want to - he sounds nice. And he can't reasonably be expected not to go on the site on the basis of one phone call... It sounds like you got on well so go for it!

Sponge tis the conclusion I'm rapidly coming to as well. Meh.

Cat Hooray for the lovely date! Tell us more...

EllenandBump · 18/01/2012 21:05

Some men are worth the hassle. others are just arseholes out for one thing and one thing only. Just have to sort the good from the bad. x

DressingGownQueen · 18/01/2012 21:09

I have days like that sponge, when they all just seem shite and I cannot be buggered.

Watch I think you should defiantly still go out with the teacher, I agree with make. I think even if I found someone I really liked I would still be on the site just for a nosy around or to look at a message I had got sent.

I do generally attract flaky and/or unsuitable men. Always have. Honestly can't think of one decent one.

Meh indeed. Well, suppose I better start making some plans for the weekend, as chances of any of my alleged dates happening seems less likely than me winning the lottery. And I don't buy lottery tickets...

EllenandBump · 18/01/2012 21:40

Some do seem to be worth it! I am glad for you CAT, hope things work out for you. You should always have a back up plan! I will have. If a date doesnt show they dont show. Never mind...move on. x

hatesponge · 18/01/2012 21:51

I did potentially have 3 dates this weekend including MrChampagne, so wasn't being that unrealistic to think one at least might go ahead! But whatevs, obviously not happening so will get some prep in for court on Monday instead.
