Yes!!! You see what lunch & walking the dog will do! Wink

watchoutforthatsnail · 05/04/2012 13:56

haha, though i am still at work.

just i can read anything in what happened on the date, or the fact he got in contact quickly after, or said lets do it again.

doesnt matter or mean anything, if he calls he calls and if he doesnt, then he doesnt.

I'm so pleased you both had nice dates!! :)

Hi everyone, not done much in the way of posting on here but I am an avid lurker. I hadn't had a date for about a month (the last one was a teacher and he was shaking so much I thought he had Parkinsons disease), no one had been taking my fancy but got a call off very hunky oil rig man today asking me if I would like to go out.. urm hell yeah! So just getting ready now he is taking me out for dinner and prosecco, he is the only good looking man that has messaged me I swear, so I am counting on joining the good date stories we have had in the last day. does excited little dance Will report back later if not too proseccoed :)

adamschic · 05/04/2012 19:03

Phoenix, which site is oil rig man on? I was chatting to a guy from the rigs once, no, it cannot be the same one Grin.

Right decided to delete my profile tonight, it's been hidden but I haven't got round to it yet.

hatesponge · 05/04/2012 19:10

good that there's been some success on dates :)

I think internet dating is a waste of time for me. Since reactivating my profile the other week, I still haven't had a single message worth replying to, or found anyone worth messaging.

first1 · 05/04/2012 19:11

Wow this thread moves fast! Been dating a guy from pof for 10 weeks and it's going brilliantly: We went "exclusive" after four weeks. he's fab with dd, we're planning a bank holiday weekend away next month and he's invited me to a wedding in August. So ladies help: I defo think I love him. I'm smitten. Do I tell him? If so how?!

adamschic · 05/04/2012 19:20

first1. Congratulations on finding someone from POF. You shouldn't tell him you love him, apparently men prefer to say it first. Yes, the beggars get all the control.

lovesineffable · 05/04/2012 19:39

I'm kinda irked, cancelled my weekend liaison because of unexpected wrong time of the month Angry :(

first1 · 05/04/2012 19:42

Lovesin...can you just back-to-back a pill packet?

lovesineffable · 05/04/2012 19:44

thanks for the suggestion but I dont use it:) (tubes tied years ago)

lovesineffable · 05/04/2012 19:53

I'd be inclined to avoid being the first to use the 'L' word.
Saying 'I love you' first tends to mark you as the one with the greatest need and the least control in the relationship

hatesponge · 05/04/2012 19:58

I've never said I love you first.

In fact I've only ever said it in 2 relationships, and of those only meant it in one.

Is getting to the point now I doubt I will ever say it or hear it again, whether I mean it or not!

adamschic · 05/04/2012 20:21

loves, I wouldn't have cancelled unless it really is only about sex, there are other things to do.

lovesineffable · 05/04/2012 20:25

it really is only about sex, there's nothing else I want to do with him:)

MyLittleMiracle · 05/04/2012 20:35

Well i am seeing my first date tomorrow, but we are strictly friends me thinks. He is lovely though. I have had so many offers of help moving in and getting my place sorted (none of which i have taken, i m an independent woman!)

loves poor you, i used to hate time of the month, luckily at the grand oild age of 23 i no longer have that to deal with, my implant sorted that out :-)

My date from last night i will probably see again next week. I got up this morning feeling rather sore, and with a headache, think i may have drunk far too much!

lovesineffable · 05/04/2012 20:42

@ the grand old age of 46 I wont have to deal with it much longer either Grin
hope your headache lifts soon mlm:)

first1 · 05/04/2012 20:45

I'm the grand old age of 24 and mirena kissed goodbye to monthlies for me Grin

MyLittleMiracle · 05/04/2012 20:50

Too many vodka red bulls last night, as for the rest of my aching body, well nothing a nice hot lush bath wont sort out! But oh god look at the state of my place nad i have a friend coming round tomorrow lunch time! OH DEAR!

notsurewhyohwhy · 05/04/2012 21:55

watchout - wow 60 dates, thats alot, did you find them all online? Smile

first1 - glad to hear you have found a nice man Wink

adamschic · 05/04/2012 22:31

loves, I didn't mean watching a DVD Wink.

lubeybooby · 05/04/2012 22:34

Hey all

Well I have had to talk to him in the course of work, he works for a packaging supplier I deal with and supplier is also a freind of mine. She said he was single and hot and lovely guy so I started flirting a little sometimes. We ended up emailing to 'show off holiday pics' ;)

So then taken away from the work side of things, I asked him out for coffee and he said yes.

We are both so busy though it can't happen til 17th April. I'm dying here!! This one comes with a reference, lol

lovesineffable · 05/04/2012 23:16

adams you're being too cryptic for me, lol my brain is fried cuz I'm wresting with spreadsheet Confused
perhaps he things I'm weird for cancelling?
I dunno Confused

PoppaRob · 06/04/2012 01:09

first1, I tend to want to say I love you fairly early in the piece, and generally it's put the kiss of death on the relationship. There really needs to be a word somewhere between like and love for when you're totally into them and they're rocking your world but you don't want to scare them off.

Phoenixx · 06/04/2012 17:20

Adams The rig man was from eHarmony, the only good looking bloke I have seen on there!

The date was just fantastic, perfect. He was good looking, very funny, intelligent and I felt utterly spoiled. Arrived to a bottle of champers and table infront of log fire, had a beautiful meal, went to bar snogged lots and we were roaring with laughter all night. Accidentally went to his room and shagged him though, which was really not meant to happen oops :-( He came to collect me from my house this morning so I could get my car from his hotel and he was still gorgeous and funny even when slightly hungover. I am hoping he would like to see me again, but even if he doesn't we had a fab night, my best date yet he has restored my faith in internet dating, there are some nice attractive men out there after all.
