in this particular instance, he probably has NO idea how i'm feeling, hell, I don't even know, i'd be pretty impressed if he had the slightest idea! :)

lovesineffable · 27/02/2012 12:33

sure:)

But I meant that generally speaking if a woman has just shagged a bloke and found the sex to be especially good, he will be aware of that, he'll know that she is feeling especially well disposed towards him and will be keen to get intimate with him again pdq.

So if he goes all elusive he's being deliberately cruel and witholding in order to get the upper hand and make her feel as if she needs him more that he needs her?

I'm not suggesting this is even necessarily a conscious and deliberate strategy, more likely what he 'instinctively' does to try and stay in charge.

Or am I just like, really really cynical??
Grin Confused Hmm

loves - id say thats a pretty fair comment and probably appllicable to about 95% of the population.

watchoutforthatsnail · 27/02/2012 12:43

loves - i dont know... just shag alot and dont feel bad about it? This is my current plan. I have pof for that, and okc - which is my area has about 4 men on it, for something more serious. maybe.

lovesineffable · 27/02/2012 12:47

I dont feel at all bad about shagging about:)

it's just difficult to manage the tendency to feel sweet on someone post sex...I just try and remember that this is a primitive and hormonally mediated response and my rational mind wants no part of it Grin

watchoutforthatsnail · 27/02/2012 12:55

yeah - get like that too. I think most women do.

i have big ben sending me filth. he had said on sat he was going to call me again wed, but now im getting texts too :) So thats sat taken care off.

Now, the other one is happy to meet for a coffee and said he wouldnt expect anything more on a first meet, so, do you think coffee on the sat afternoon? or, would be it be awful do do something on the friday evening?

Snapespeare · 27/02/2012 13:16

thank you! primitive hormonal response, best ignored. :) well, it's either cruel, or spectacularly dense...but then i have played it a bit nonchalant myself, dashing off post shag to meet friends. It's probably acceptable behaviour as far as he can see - after all, he's just a man. Wink

i am not needy, i m not needy, it is hormones! do not text, do not text!

which goes to suggest that i might kind of like him, because if i wasn't that bothered I wouldn't be glaring at the phone.

i am not needy, i m not needy, it is hormones! do not text, do not text! toughen up!

repeat ad infinitum.

i think coffee for 'the other one' on friday...then you have the evening free if you so wish....

lovesineffable · 27/02/2012 13:20

I think it's normal to feel needy, just dont let him see it!!!
purge yourself of your feelings on here instead Grin

hatesponge · 27/02/2012 13:41

I am massively needy Grin

I have managed to resist the urge to text, mainly because I have now decided in my own mind he is far too well-off/intelligent/middle class/witty & amusing to be at all interested in me, so it's all a waste of time anyway!

Snapespeare · 27/02/2012 13:45

oh god no, no-one sees that that's even less pretty than my three-baby stretchmarked stomach! Grin

Snapespeare · 27/02/2012 13:54

it is not a waste of time sponge he's lucky you give him the time of day! (but don't text him!)

I'm getting a bit of a competitive streak going here, we need to be pledge-no-text sisters!

watchoutforthatsnail · 27/02/2012 14:14

sponge - dont be daft.

sit on your hands or something. Snape, dont do this while thinking of tim ;)

It was well worth the 2 & a half year wait. I am covered in stubble rash. Texted him with 'sorry to fuck & run, you were incredible. I owe you a blow-job.' He replied straight away, with an affirmative

Why not text him to find out when he's coming round for his blow job? Wink:o

DatingMinefield · 27/02/2012 14:55

I agree Snape, I think you've already had your agreement to recommence manoeuvres. Wink

I need some advice about binning someone.
I started what I thought was going to be a FWB arrangement with a guy. Was very clear about what I wanted from it, basically just that I wanted to get laid, but not ONS and I had to like them.

We've been out three times, snogged 1st two times (unbelievable snogger) and ended up in bed the third time. I think I'm going to bin because I think I could do better and he's getting quite soppy. I don't think we really have enough in common to be friends anyway, it's just sex.
I'm a bit jealous of snape's amazing sex, mine was a bit meh. Envy
He's great with mouth and hands, but the willy isn't what I was used to. He also writes me pornographic texts, which are quite good. Grin

I've left it with no fixed rematch, although I've already had texts about that. Do I just evade the question of when, until he hopefully gets bored or do I have to bite the bullet and tell him I don't want to see him anymore? I think he thinks it will go somewhere. Feel like a bit of a bitch, dumping after the shag, but you don't know if you'll enjoy it until you do it, do you?

I have another three auditions this week, starting tomorrow. Rugby player Tues, biker Fri and random hottie Sat. All going well. Grin Hopefully one of them will progress to 'Judges Houses'

datingsausage Are we related? Grin

PostBellumBugsy · 27/02/2012 14:59

DatingMinefield, tell him you really love him & think you should move in together. That should do the trick! Grin

hatesponge · 27/02/2012 15:23

He really is too middle class for me. He wears a quilted barbour Blush. He speaks very nicely too. I sound like a fishwife crossed with a TOWIE extra.

Honestly what would he see in me?! Haven't quite given up on hearing from him though, and am sitting resolutely on hands for now.

Grin at pledge-no-text sisters!

lovesineffable · 27/02/2012 15:23

DM dont feel guilty, men are always exhorting each other to 'pump & dump' yes it's a vile expression, but I say 'fuck and forget' (alliteration being waay more sophisticated than rhyming)

prob best to bit the bullet and make sure he knows that the door is no longer open to him

Snapespeare · 27/02/2012 16:24

DM just tell him his cock is too small. job done, he won't be feeling quite so soppy then. actually i could cope with the slightly smaller than expectation cock as long as the hands and mouth were doing their job...and it sounds as if they are... but the soppy would be a different matter all together.

oh god, i've just objectified the poor chap and i rattle on endlessly about men doing that to women! Blush

there is no way ever i would text someone saying 'when are you coming around for your blow-job?'. that gives a potential answer of 'never, you moose'. I am sitting on my hands like a good girl, watch and thinking of no-one called 'Tim' whatsoever. that's a charming coincidence... Wink

sponge self-confidence 101. :) opposites and all that...

lovesineffable · 27/02/2012 16:32

and it sounds as if you're at his beck and call, gotta get the boot on the other foot sistah's..

DatingMinefield · 27/02/2012 16:45

Right, dumping is on the agenda tonight then. No complications required.

Why are all the men interested in me on match.com practically pensioners?
Hardly fair after I actually shelled out for a subscription (was pissed) Blush

Snape, what's the matter with texting? He's already said yes. He might be being polite and waiting for his invitation. :)

Snapespeare · 27/02/2012 17:14

i take it as a non commital yes until his pants are actually around his ankles. unfortunately texts aren't actually legally binding.

anyway my phone is now out of battery and in a not-obsessing-about-it kind of way, I can't be arsed to unwedge myself from the sofa to go and charge it..

...take that hormones, i'll show you who is in charge... :)

watchoutforthatsnail · 27/02/2012 18:20

Sponge, everyones wearing those at the momment. They sre the height of fashion, apparently.

Snape, well.done, on the no texting and no Tim fiddling.

hatesponge · 27/02/2012 20:57

watch I think his predates the recent fashion. he probably wears it when striding round his family's country estate garden.

I haven't text. YET. For me this is showing unparallelled levels of self control. I am annoying myself though (god knows how bored you must all be with me, my RL friends are now ignoring my needy 'but WHY hasn't he text yet' messages).

I should be tidying my house as it is a pit, and I have friends staying tomorrow. Or prepping for an interview on Weds. In fact anything other than what I am doing, namely giving my phone a hard stare and willing a text to appear Hmm

Snapespeare · 27/02/2012 21:21

Don't you dare text! Don't. You. Dare!

lovesineffable · 27/02/2012 21:34

dont text, you are cool and dignified, men are there to serve your needs.

Even so, I dont think I could bring myself to tell the guy his manhood was of inadequate size DM I couldnt be that cruel
