Its hardly fair and I agree totally. Maybe its why we are single....LOL

He sounds fab. I.would have done the same then thought some more about it at home

Ive not heard yet..... Unsurprisingly..

I've certainly been internet stalking 'thinking' about it. Wink

arguably, we are both at our sexual peaks it's just a bit too Harold and Maude to contemplate.

well, if you don't hear, then you don't hear. it's just a bummer because you quite liked him. At least you didn't shag him and then find out he's a fuckmuppet.

I have been asked out by someone else and my chap from lasyt night is coming around again, and yes he was at mine last night until approx 1 in the morning. So yes, he is coming around again. But i arranged to see someone monday, but the only thing is that i am supposed to be seeing my family so it looks like i am going to have to rearange for wednesday, cos its the only day that i have left free now. So i am hoping that he will be free for me! So so loooking forwards to meeting him, but not expecting much, just nice to be taken out! I got a message from him last night asking me to go out with him, but already had a date.

watchoutforthatsnail · 07/04/2012 16:31

He replied. He knew I was.going segway racing, and had told me how the inventor fell off q cliff on one.

So, I text ' I have substained a segway related injury, though managed to avoid any cliffs :)

Hope your not working too hard.

He replied with ' not too hard.... Glad to hear cliffs avoided'

Which is pretty closed and non.conversational, isn't it. It's not even worth me responding, is it?????

OP posts:
Snapespeare · 07/04/2012 16:42

pffft. don't respond. your text was lovely. he's an idiot.

next!

watchoutforthatsnail · 07/04/2012 16:50

:( it was obvious, because I hadn't heard from him already.

Honestly, the more I date the less I.understand men....

Why extend the date?
Why text the same night to say he wanted to spend longer with me?
Why say let's do it again?

I.didn't say any of that, he didn't even say it to my face, he didn't have to say anything... Instead, he text me that stuff, unpromted, and first texts hes ever sent me.

Why? For what reason?

I'm going to cry and eat myself into a stupor, thank.fuck for Easter eggs!

For the life of me

I would leave it now Watch, doesn't mean he won't contact you again.

He seemed to want to keep his options open with me but I've made it plain it won't be happening.

adamschic · 07/04/2012 17:02

I've already eaten an easter egg and feel sick. Will be wallowing in misery tonight with wine.

watchoutforthatsnail · 07/04/2012 17:09

He can, frankly, get stuffed if he does randomly contact me at a later date..im.not going to be any ones second thought.

But from that reply, I don't think that Will happen anyways...... I'm not stupid enough to believe thay.

I.dont know, why I don't ever, ever get a second.date????

Adams, don't blame you, I'm.opening the rum!

OP posts:
Snapespeare · 07/04/2012 17:11

you don't get a second date because you have high standards.

I have an urge to go and buy rum now. you are a terrible influence!!

watchoutforthatsnail · 07/04/2012 17:16

It's not though..

I don't even get asked for a second date.....( to turn them.down)

OP posts:
watchoutforthatsnail · 07/04/2012 17:18

And yes, buy rum :)

OP posts:
Snapespeare · 07/04/2012 17:20

they can tell you are ridiculously out of their league. that's why they don't ask.

mmmmmmm manboy rum! yes, off to buy rum! I can catch up! (if i drink quick!)

adamschic · 07/04/2012 17:24

I was out last night and hit the rum and coke when we left the restaurant. Got up this morning at a reasonable time, no hangover.

Watch, I don't know what these guys are thinking or looking for. [buconfused]

watchoutforthatsnail · 07/04/2012 17:27

Hahahaha.
Thanks Snape :)

It's not true of course........

Run, run like the wind....drink.it from.tge bottle.on the way back.

It wouldn't have worked with the buddist..he's teetotal and goes on month.longs solitary retreats.
Fuck him, and his karma.

OP posts:
watchoutforthatsnail · 07/04/2012 17:43

Its just, for once I though someone.might actually be interested in me.
For A change, rather than my boobs.
That it wasnt my sexuality they were after....
That they were actually interested in.what I had to say.

But I.was Fucking wrong. No man.is actually interested in me.

And It's not even a case of going on more dates, I've had about 60 in the last almost 3 years... And about 3 or 4 second dates..hideous stastics.

And I finally have a really.good date and he seemed keen, only for it to blow up in my face :(
I give up

OP posts:
Snapespeare · 07/04/2012 17:52

tesco is rubbish - all they had was 'cockspur', still a 'n' on the end and we've neatly summed up my sex life! Wink [rum]

adamschic · 07/04/2012 18:01

Watch, I feel your disappointment. Have a good old wallow then forget him. He didn't drink and went on retreats, wierdo [bugrin].

I keep reminding myself of how an emotionally unavailable man operates, when my arms feel empty (was supposed to be seeing each other tonight) :-

Refuses to define the relationship
Keeps in touch but 'just in time'
Keeps his options open
Strings his exes along
etc etc

watchoutforthatsnail · 07/04/2012 18:02

:)

Tesco, men, both crap

OP posts:
Snapespeare · 07/04/2012 18:09

watch this is just a wobble. you're pretty and smart and sexy and all the other wonderful stuff. there are hundreds of thousands of single men out there and i have to reason with myself that they are not all hideous. The Buddhist was great, you had a lovely time, but you're right - he's teetotal and goes off to chant for a month - you're not really a good match! it's encouraging that you've met someone good, who doesn't treat you as a succession of holes - we just need to unearth one that is similar, but a bit less mimsy.

retreat, contemplate, regroup, attack!

Now drink your rum and lets sing some Adele. :)

watchoutforthatsnail · 07/04/2012 18:09

Adams, but its too little too late, isn't.it.
You know you deserve more, you wanted more and it wasnt fair on you. He wasn't perfect for you, because if he was, he wouldn't have treated you That way.

Yes, hugely disapointed.

I'm finding it a struggle to remain positive.....

OP posts:
adamschic · 07/04/2012 18:14

That's why I've ended things, at least he will learn that I do place some value on myself even if he doesn't. It started off (this time) very attentive at first.

Fuck em all!

watchoutforthatsnail · 07/04/2012 18:19

Snape, you are right. I.know you are.
Adel will make things worse, I'm going to go for some Rolling.stones or foo.fighters.
And rebound onto the cock of the Australian..shag and go and repair my ego...

Anyways, mimsey is no good. I'm going off road segway racing next month, I need someone a bit manly. Or tim minchin.

OP posts:
Snapespeare · 07/04/2012 18:41

:) Tim Minchin is manly! it's the eyeliner.

i'm always right - that's why I'm single. it gets annoying! Wink

lucky Australian for the angry sex! Grin

watchoutforthatsnail · 07/04/2012 18:50

So long as I.don't change my.mind before Monday....( I probably.will, I.know its a bad idea)

I.luffs tim. A lot. He would.be fab at segways, we would be an.awesome team.

I am honestly Fucking fed up though. Of being the only.one on my own..my ever so helpful mother.and sister told me I.should try online dating ' because id be snapped up' oh the irony......
