I'm 31 and think 27 is my lower age limit-maybe I should go younger? Grin but then I am looking for a serious relationship and want babies and that..so maybe not x

awaywego1 · 22/02/2012 10:25

Haven't heard back from lovely date man who was going on another date yesterday. Feeling a bit disheartened and fed up, should probably start chatting to some new boys, eggs in baskets and all that Sad

Hi everyone, I'm just over a year past your cut off point then Poppa Sad

My cut off point is 27, almost 28 but in reality I think 32 is better. I do think it's all about maturity though and whether you have the same interests.

Mr Yacht bought me a lovely bunch of flowers last night as I had been feeling low and he felt bad about Sunday. Wonder what I would get if He did something really really bad.

I'm trying to shift a bit of extra weight so I was very good and went for a swim last night. It was a complete coincidence that I ended up in the Sauna at the same time as the builders Grin

lovesineffable · 22/02/2012 10:40

builders in sauna's you say??

I think I need a few sauna sessionsBlush

Zanywany · 22/02/2012 10:58

They are there the same time every day, they are actualy really friendly and were giving me self defence tips the other day, nothing to do with my swimming costume being very slightly revealing.

MyLittleMiracle · 22/02/2012 11:02

I joined a mixed gym because 1. It was cheaper and 2. I wanted some eye cnady to work out to with my friend. We have been watching the blokes, and have now noticed that two particular pairs, seem to come at the same time as us, and seem to always be about. We were doing sit ups the other day, and they came past to the water fountain. But she is taken and i am enjoying being single

I have been listening to natasha beddingfield single....and it is exactly how i want to be!! After the divorce....LEGALLY I am still married...EMOTIONALLY I am defiently single and free to do as i please!

lovesineffable · 22/02/2012 11:05

he he, karate lessons from builders in the sauna..do they wear their hard hats and hi vis jackets?
I'm very partial to a man in a hard hat & hi vis jacket Grin

Zanywany · 22/02/2012 11:32

Hope they just wear their muscles and tattoos (and swimming trunks of course Grin)

Zanywany · 22/02/2012 11:50

Or even Nope, not hope

adamschic · 22/02/2012 11:53

According to Poppa my lower limit is 27. I met a guy last year who was 27 and had a nice kiss flirt with him. Also at the age of 48 had a brief, ill advised, fling with a 23 year old boy guy. Met them on nights out so it just sort of happened rather than seeing it on paper.

The current man in my life is 3 year older and I like that now.

Poppa, sounds like a couple of mates meeting up for a playdate but hopefully the adults can find some fun in it.

hatesponge · 22/02/2012 12:01

Well there's no harm in a drink, or that's what I'm telling myself :) I will have to put the make up on with a trowel of course, and it will be an evening drink with subdued limited lighting (rather than him seeing me infor the old hag that I am by daylight!) If of course it even happens which with my current run of luck is by no means guaranteed...

adamschic · 22/02/2012 12:08

As long as he is aware of your age sponge you have nothing to worry about. There are as many younger men that would love an older woman as vice versa ime.

Phoenixx · 22/02/2012 13:19

Date pencilled in with Mr Retired for Saturday, and another one with another chap for the week after, this could become almost a full time job, I am spending most of my evenings replying to messages haha it is all good fun and I have to say I am very much enjoying getting some male attention, just hoping that the date this weekend will go better than the disaster that was last weekend. Here's a new one for you.. I got asked if I would consider working as an escort uuurm that will be a no, should I report the creep?

adamschic · 22/02/2012 13:56

Yes, I would report him, if it's serious then he is a pimp.

PoppaRob · 22/02/2012 14:36

zany, every rule has an exception! Wink

As for the "man in a hard hat & hi vis jacket" am I the only one who's thinking of the guy from The Village People? :)

adams, it's all it is. We clicked bigtime when we worked together and there was chemistry, but I think the ship bearing any chance of a relationship has well and truly sailed. It'll be nice to catch up bit as the temp is going to be mid 30'sC by midday and 37C by the afternoon, so we're meeting mid morning and we'll be heading our separate ways by midday. I do enjoy the feeling of the crush though.

Zanywany · 22/02/2012 20:25

Poppa you do realise you are making us jealous with talks about 30C weather. I don't think the ship has necessarily sailed, you never know, keep us posted.

lovesineffable · 22/02/2012 21:45

hehe, yep that was a bit of a village people moment!
damn sure I'd be much more enthusiastic about the whole dating scene if we had hot weather.
UK winter cools the ardour somewhat!

PoppaRob · 22/02/2012 22:13

In that case don't click on this link :)

far cry from today's drizzly cold meteorological offerings!

Flanelle · 22/02/2012 22:33

It's a full time job, is dating. I've got three dates this weekend, one of which is a second date and will involve staying over - but definitely no sex. I am the dictionary definition of a slow worker.

Zanywany · 22/02/2012 22:36

Looks like heaven Poppa. On the plus side I will be sunning myself next weekend in the Canaries Grin

PoppaRob · 22/02/2012 22:46

zany - a tasteful string bikini or will you be choosing to go clothing optional? Shock

hatesponge · 22/02/2012 23:17

one of my friends has just flown off to the Caribbean on hols, another is going to Mexico shortly. Am currently feeling v v Envy of anyone spending time anywhere even vaguely hot!

I appear to have a date on Friday. With someone normal and my own age. However I am concerned he is

a) too normal - and therefore I won't fancy him
b) too nice/maybe bordering on boring - see above
c) too short - ditto

I think most women would really like him. This probably proves why I am single Grin

MyLittleMiracle · 22/02/2012 23:37

Havent been on holiday since a french trip when i was in year 8 at school, aged 11, god thats 12 years and was the only time i have ever been abroad!

Would love some warmer weather. And a nice bloke! x

Snapespeare · 23/02/2012 15:11

phoenixx sorry I haven't got around to adding you to the fb group as yet - will try my very best to remember to do so tonight.
