I've never tried Rum. I've never really got on with alcohol, I'm a proper lightweight, one glass of wine and I'm gone! I'm better with Vodka but can still only manage a couple of them before I become a loose woman. I get a massive urge to snog and erm things. So I tend to stick to soft drinks Grin

I thought it might be some sort of sex toy, a special kind of whip or something Grin

Zanywany · 10/02/2012 12:08

Grin at time

watchoutforthatsnail · 10/02/2012 12:11

hahahahahahaha.
Dark rum is lovely, its my vice of choice. Nothing wrong with being a loose woman AT ALL.

You know, you need to find someone half decent, who you can enjoy a few evenings fun with. But no pressure.

PoppaRob · 10/02/2012 12:15

Oooooo... like Captain Morgan's original Spiced Rum? Yummo!

TimeForMeAndDD · 10/02/2012 12:18

YES!! That is exactly what I need watch! I do quite like being a bit of a loose woman but I need to make sure I'm with a bloke I also like before I hit the bottle. Grin

Snapespeare · 10/02/2012 13:26

Kraken, heels and stockings.

Do you want to be able to walk tomorrow? Hmm Grin

PoppaRob · 10/02/2012 13:40

What is it with the heels and stockings? My fantasy woman knocks on my door dressed in faded jeans or cargo pants and nothing more. Wink

Zanywany · 10/02/2012 13:44

and bare feet too I bet Poppa Grin

TimeForMeAndDD · 10/02/2012 13:57

Watch won't be able to walk properly for a while anyway Snape so the Kraken, heels and stockings won't make any difference Grin

DatingMinefield · 10/02/2012 13:58

I concur, Zany, it's something he needs to to get over before you commit any further. My ex threw out all my photos when we got together, as some had my previous exs in. He saw keeping these as an indication that I was still holding a torch. I now recognise this as possessive and unhealthy. Hindsight, eh?

Re: the size issue. I'm 5' 9" and a small 14, but not overly fit so I describe myself as average. I have t&a, but I'm in proportion so I think that's truthful. I don't know why people would massively exaggerate physical attributes? Clearly it will be obvious that you've lied when you turn up?

watch, I think I might be living vicariously through your posts now. Grin
Thanks for clarifying the Kraken thing though, I was a bit confused for a minute. Grin

DatingMinefield · 10/02/2012 14:02

time, will you be giving houseroom pride of place to your flying pig, or will you be generously regifting it? :)

noluck · 10/02/2012 14:15

OK, a bit of update here. German Dr. has texted to say have a nice day, etc., etc., but is being extremely "cool" even though nice. I had a look at his msn profile and he now has a new female "friend", which I know is OK but I now have a little voice at the back of my head saying that he wants all of his pieces of cake and he wants to eat them all...

I know that I am being over sensitive here, just knock some sense into me....feel like a bloody teenager, grrrr.....

PoppaRob · 10/02/2012 14:17

Zanywany, "and bare feet too I bet Poppa". Of course! Wink

Zanywany · 10/02/2012 14:23

He has texted this morning to apologise for quizzing me and we said we will chat later. I might be almost expecting possessiveness/controlling behavior as my XP was like that so I may have over reacted. Anyway will sort out later.

Zanywany · 10/02/2012 14:24

It could just be a friend noluck or a member of his family he has added. I guess unless you are exclusively dating then he may well be in touch with other females.

TimeForMeAndDD · 10/02/2012 14:30

Dating I think it will have pride of place on a shelf in the special cupboard I have for regifting/school tombola Grin I've had enough of pigs to last me a lifetime!

noluck Ask him about his new friend. Make it clear that you have no problem with him dating other women if that's what he so wishes but it doesn't suit you to be an alternative so you will be walking away. Don't let the situation cause you grief or heartache, it's so not worth it.

noluck · 10/02/2012 14:30

Yes I know, it's just that before the "deed" he was so attentive and since has become distant, but I'm most probably being too sensitive and must harden up a bit....

TimeForMeAndDD · 10/02/2012 14:33

Listen to your gut instinct.

And talk to him Smile

noluck · 10/02/2012 14:55

yes, I will....I can't even remember what being a teenager was like!!!!

Well at least not really, and I suppose not having spots to worry about is an asset and I don't have to beg for pocketmoney anymore. Grin

Snapespeare · 10/02/2012 15:03

I'm 5ft 9 and a dress size 16. I would describe myself as 'voluptuous' (lots of boobs, slightly top heavy) on dating sites I describe as 'a few extra lbs' or 'curvy'. I would never willingly describe myself as 'average' in any way, shape or form, even if i were! :)

try not to stress noluck just chalk it up to a good shag if it was and keep your options open, i think. :)

I am now hooked on applying for online competitions!

date is at six. dinner and drinks. :)

TimeForMeAndDD · 10/02/2012 15:05
Grin

Also, could I just say that I don't think you have to 'harden up a bit' because this man has become distant, nor are you being too sensitive. You are reacting to how he is behaving towards you, you are picking up on something but rather than trust what you are feeling you are blaming yourself for feeling it. Don't just sit back and wait for him to do the dirty on you then come back to thread saying "I knew something wasn't right", deal with it now. Either take a step back and see how he responds or have a chat about becoming exclusive. Take control of the situation, the cards are in your hands as much as they are in his Smile

TimeForMeAndDD · 10/02/2012 15:08

I'm 5ft 9 and a half and am now a 12/14 but I am very fine boned so could afford to weigh at least another stone less than I do. I love my boobs though and don't want to lose them, it's a bugger when we have to choose between boobs and dress size.

Which online competitions are you entering Snape. I'm interested! Grin

Looking forward to the update on your date.

Zanywany · 10/02/2012 15:23

Ohh hope your date goes well Snape

Good advice as always Time. I think its often easier to blame ourselves rather than to realise we are feeling a particular way because of how we are being treated.

I'm 5ft 9 and a half but to everyone else I say 5ft 10 - sounds so much taller Grin

watchoutforthatsnail · 10/02/2012 15:41

i feel like such a midget now :)

snape - have a fantastic date, i will attempt to check in at some point....

no luck- did you have a conversation that you were exclusive and ' dating' if not, then you cant assume anything. Until either party says other wise, you have to assume they are dating/ shagging/ whatever others. Harsh but true and just the way it is. I wouldnt say anything about his new msn addition, you have no idea who it is, and tbh and this is going to sound mean, but its not your business. I knw its difficult though.

The stockings? ive never come across a man that doesnt have a thing for them. I however shall be rocking them in my own style, stockings and heels below, old band t shirt, messed up hair and a smudge of too much eyeliner :)
Plus - and heres the genuis bit, i dont have to go hunting for clothes inbetween, and can just prance around in the t shirt. genius. tis genius.

PoppaRob · 10/02/2012 15:44

I don't have a thing for them :-(
