I have been craving to be kissed for the last couple of weeks, so es jumped at the chance of a fit younger bloke kissing me! Sorry. I might fill you in on the rest if the details at some point......maybe. hopefully going to see him again soon.

watchoutforthatsnail · 04/04/2012 23:36

Where was his friend while this was happening?

OP posts:
MyLittleMiracle · 04/04/2012 23:41

Well he saw us kiss, but that was all. I mean what do you take me for. However tehy were both very fit indeed. I so would. No I wouldnt! He wasnt there when we were doing ant more than kissing, i am a good girl. Think he bought him along as moral support and a get out clause! We are planning on meeting again soon!

TheSinglePringle · 04/04/2012 23:45

That's great watch Smile

Sounds like you may have found a good one!

spose I better shave my legs thenBlush

lubeybooby · 05/04/2012 06:02

Watch!! Oooh great stuff :o

I erm..

well...

I seem to have a date lined up for 17th April Shock

With a younger man Shock

Who is extremely hot Shock

Still not on dating sites or anything... have met him sort of via rl (but not in person yet)

It's been 8 months since I dated, I have forgotten what to do/wear and how to NOT have a total heart attack Shock

watchoutforthatsnail · 05/04/2012 09:14

oooohhhh lubey :) how did that come about then?
Fab, really excellent.. sure you will remember all that stuff.

Loves, i know, something of a miracle.

Still grinning like a loon this morning, i cannot tell you how nice last night was, it really was, just everything about it. And id go as far as saying it was the best date ive had, possibly ever, definatley in the last 3.5 years, trumped only slightly by a first date with YKW, but not because it was a better date, just because of who it was with...
But yeah, id very much like to see him again, BUT, should nothing more come of it, its made it clear its not me thats the problem, its the dickheads and idiots ive been dating who are either pawing at your boobs, obsessed with getting in your pants, who have the social skills of a frog and the intelect of an amiba.

And, the biggest thing, for me, personally, was when i came back from the loo, and he had been waiting for me by the entrance, and he was talking to this old guy who ran the theatre about this upcoming production and then i joined in and it just felt really ' nice' and i was like ' huh, i would totally like to go see that with him, this feels nice'

I havent felt that way in a long, long, long time.

( which can only mean im destined to be crying into my easter eggs when it all comes to nothing....)

Yee hah for Watch!!!!!! So glad you had a great date & I shall keep my fingers crossed more comes of it.
Yee hah for MLM!!!!!!! So glad you had a great date too, with two fit blokes Wink.

I have a date next week on Wednesday. He definitely isn't short and in his photos he is quite good looking, so fingers crossed there might be a bit of mutual fancying!

adamschic · 05/04/2012 09:30

Watch, I'm very pleased for you.

MLM, glad you enjoyed your date, you don't have to go into detail about it on here, enough to say you hit it off.

Loves, yep time to get the razor out, have fun.

Lubey, how did this come about?

MyLittleMiracle · 05/04/2012 10:27

I have woken up happy and to a message saying we should catch up soon. Grin

watchoutforthatsnail · 05/04/2012 10:31

well, i wouldnt get too pleased, we dont have actual plans for the second date yet.
texts last night follow as: ( at this point i become all useless and need advice and people to tell me its fine, hang on till he contacts me and dont text him)

him - good to spend time with you... would have liked to have spent more...x
me - yeah, it was really nice :) thank you. I didnt realise the time, it flew by
him - indeed... lets do it again sometime
me - id like that :) and besdes you owe me a badger in a bag
him - and you owe me cheese
me - i do, this is true.... lol, i did actually have some, but it ended up in my mouth. accidentally.
him - funny how that happens..
me - haha, isnt it.

and that was it. SO, is that him actually asking me out again? do i just wait until he texts me again ( that was the first text ive ever had from him, we didnt talk off the dating site prior to the date at all)

or what?

Im good at first dates, and just go rubbish from then on in...probably due to my spectacular lack of second dates....

OP posts:
PostBellumBugsy · 05/04/2012 10:38

I would take from that exchange that he does want to see you again and you have said that you would like that too. I don't think there Now you have to wait - IMO.

watchoutforthatsnail · 05/04/2012 10:48

i hate the waiting bit though. Though i think that too, especially as all those texts took place within 20 mins of saying goodbye...

he knows ive got 6 days off ( from this afternoon) and am childfree for 8 more days.. and i know he has his daughter this weekend and is working the bank hols.

I know i just need to wait and be cool.But Im not very cool. Its difficult. Someone come selotape my hands together please.

OP posts:
PostBellumBugsy · 05/04/2012 10:54

You do have to be cool!!!!!!!!!!! It is really hard but you have to hit the off switch in your head until he texts you. I'm going to be optomistic on your behalf & say that he doesn't sound like a game player or a tosser & therefore he will be in touch in the next day or two (& hopefully this evening).

watchoutforthatsnail · 05/04/2012 11:04

i know. but urgh.

I didnt get the impression he was a game player or a tosser at all, and i think the buddism wouldnt allow that anyway ( yes, he has been ordained and is a ' proper buddist' )

I know i need to do nothing at all, and just wait, hes said he wants to do it again, so i have i. I sent the last text... i just need to wait.

i fucking hate waiting.
:)

lovesineffable · 05/04/2012 11:16

I agree, the ball is in his court
try not to care
immerse yourself in something else to take your mind off it.
you can be cool, it just take practise :)

adamschic · 05/04/2012 11:56

Watch, SOH (Sit on hands) Do not text or ring. Let him do the running, they love the chase for some reason. I think he will contact you again and when he does fingers crossed it's to arrange to meet up again. IME men will wait until they have something to say to get in touch e.g can you make such and such a night. So don't panic if you don't hear anything for a couple of days.

watchoutforthatsnail · 05/04/2012 12:02

dont worry, there is no way in hell im contacting him :)

im just going to go all angsty on here and jump out of my skin everytime my phone goes ( like i did just now)

he should be in contact though, shoudnt he? else why say lets do it again? and be in contact so quickly after we had left?
and also he extended the date when we came out from the film..

OP posts:
lovesineffable · 05/04/2012 12:17

I think if you've only just met someone you dont have enough experience of them to make predictions about what they are likely to do, or the reasons behind what they did or said.

He sounds like a nice guy so he'll be normal about things and there'll be nothing to worry about:)

lovesineffable · 05/04/2012 12:21

gah, but it's so annoying when you feel all bent out of shape like that...been there loads of times Blush
life feels so much easier when I'm in recluse mode Grin

watchoutforthatsnail · 05/04/2012 12:25

i think the only reason im bent out of shape, was because i actually liked him, which just never happens. I think ive had about 60 dates in the last 3 years and ive only wanted to see maybe 4 of them again. thats not good odds. lol
Ive had plenty of dates where ive left the date and not given it a second thought, or even just forgot i even went on the date at all.

and hes said lets do it again, and ive said yes and now i just want to know WHEN!!!!

lol - ridiclous.

OP posts:
PostBellumBugsy · 05/04/2012 12:39

It is not ridiculous at all. It is a perfectly normal reaction to want to see someone that you liked again! Hopefully, you'll know the when before too long. I have to get really busy in circumstances like this and I'm such a saddo, my house usually ends up being immaculately clean - down to toothbrushes along the skirting boards! Grin Sad, but so true.

adamschic · 05/04/2012 12:49

Agree, it a perfectly normal reaction when you've met someone you really like. I have only met 2 via the internet where I've felt like you do now. Try and keep yourself busy for now.

watchoutforthatsnail · 05/04/2012 12:59

yeah, im at work - on my own, which isnt good. i need to go food shopping, then walk the dog, so that will help - and then im out all day with family tomorrow ( and he knows this)

ive had 3 texts in the last half hour, everytime i literally jump out of my skin and my heart races.and then its not him. Ive also banned myself from the dating site, so i dont stalk him and see if hes been online....

it is a little ridiclous :)

OP posts:
watchoutforthatsnail · 05/04/2012 13:49

ah, its ok, ive come to my senses now.

If he wants to see me again, he will contact me, no point getting all in a flap.

:)
