Ta-da! Think this is the first one I've started.

I am still feeling somewhat feisty. Told my team off at work for being too noisy Blush and was generally stroppy. Might have to go and start a row in AIBU or something!

So, dating, as you were etc Grin

Not forgetting of course that I have a second date at the weekend!

there were a couple of guys who cancelled because of unexpected urgent business meetings when I made it clear that I wasnt up for sex on a first meeting.

Some one else who decided that he didnt have time to pop by and see me after all after a text conversation about anal sex where I said it wasnt really my thing.
does that count as stood up?

TimeForMeAndDD · 16/04/2012 22:47

No loves, that counts as what is known in the trade as 'a lucky escape' Smile

lovesineffable · 16/04/2012 22:47

and Time I know what you mean about the whole 'bodily functions' thing Blush
it's just too awkward with someone you dont know!

lovesineffable · 16/04/2012 22:48

yep someone was watching over me for sure:)

watchoutforthatsnail · 16/04/2012 22:51

I replied. Told him I didn't want to talk. But texting is ok.

He either has physic abilities or reads this thread... But he's away at the momment working.. possibly not with the Time to stalk me. And ive never mentioned.mn.

I don't know.how.he knows. He always knows, does it, without fail, every Time I have a date.too..

TimeForMeAndDD · 16/04/2012 22:52

Yes, awkward is one word for it Grin When we lived together we had our own bathrooms, I could never not have my own bathroom now if I ever had an attack of amnesia and decided to live with a man after all. Separate bathrooms, separate bedrooms and separate chilling areas are the way to go if you can't have separate houses.

TimeForMeAndDD · 16/04/2012 22:55

Then he quite possibly is reading this thread. And he now knows about my wind problem and chickens crush on John Prescott! Grin

MissKeithLemon · 16/04/2012 22:59

Time maybe I am just feeling a little floaty and wot-not today Grin At the moment I cannot think of a single thing I'd like more than mr lovely in my bed in the morning [double grin] that should work for dating threads

Chicken so vair funny! My secret crush which I know to be wrong is James Corden. I understand you.

MightyMeerkat · 16/04/2012 22:59

Can I join you please? I have just joined Dating Direct Affinity and haven't seen anyone I like after trawling through loads of profiles!! Have I wasted my money or do I need to perservere?!!!!

MissKeithLemon · 16/04/2012 23:00

Actually i sort of met Jp once... are you jealous Chicken?

Tollysfolly · 16/04/2012 23:01

so, some one I've been chatting to and arranged to meet up with this sat when ex had dc, has asked if I would pick him up and we can go somewhere. he has had a major operation on his hip and is still unable to drive, only now walking with a stick. I know he has genuinely had this done but I thought he was maybe joking about me picking him up but I'm wondering now if he wasn't. I nearly texte back and said cant you Get a taxi! I can't make a run for it if I pick him up can I!
how would you answer that one!

TimeForMeAndDD · 16/04/2012 23:03

I think you must be MrsKL, you need to keep your head screwed on and your heart battened down you know. And do you know how often you have to change your sheets when you allow a smelly man to share your bed? Do you? You will adding to the carbon footprint with all the extra washing. Men are not environmentally friendly! Grin

Welcome MightyMeerkat. No, you haven't wasted your money at all, you can do the 'paid site experiment' and save the rest of us from wasting ours Grin

Tollysfolly · 16/04/2012 23:05

and I was going to meet with some one Friday night but he has sooo annoyed me with his bugging me message I've said no to meeting up now. anyone else use the iPhone app for POF? if I forget to log out properly it says I'm online web I'm not really and he kept accusing me I being online and ignoring him so I really can't be done with that at all. had enough of ex being controlling let alone some one I havnt met watching when I'm online all the time! my profile is already hidden. can you hide yourself from showing up I your online or not too??

MissKeithLemon · 16/04/2012 23:05

Hmmm, I'd not be picking him up tbh Tollys. Can you tell a little white lie and say your car is in for servicing or something?

TimeForMeAndDD · 16/04/2012 23:06

Tollysfolly I would answer that one with a very firm "NO". First date with a dodgy hip, a walking stick and you driving means you are stuck with him. No, no, no. Tell him to hire a motorised scooter or something, they go pretty fast and can cover some miles. He will be ok. As long as it doesn't rain Grin

MissKeithLemon · 16/04/2012 23:07

aah Time I am chuckling again now... but I reeeeeeeally like him Grin maybe I could power a light or something using energy from all the hot sex i've already tried I'm expecting, to make up to the planet?

TimeForMeAndDD · 16/04/2012 23:09

I wouldn't lie, I would tell him straight, "No, I'm sorry but I would prefer to travel independently to a first meet. I'm happy to wait until you are recovered and back on your feet". If he gets offended then he wouldn't have been worth the petrol in the first place.

hatesponge · 16/04/2012 23:10

Tollys tell him to get a taxi, you're not a cab service! cheeky fucker. Either he's well enough to date - and get in a taxi, or get a friend (if he has one) to give him a lift - or he's not, in which case he shouldn't be wasting your time!

OP posts:
TimeForMeAndDD · 16/04/2012 23:12

Nah MrsKL, the hot sex is just a ploy to reel you in. Once he has you hooked, and by the way you are talking that will be all of an hour Grin the hot sex stops and reverts to luke warm, before hitting cool a month or tow later. Hardly enough to keep the shed light running. You could however, operate a small wind farm from all the air you will expel while nagging him for return of said hot sex, for all the farting, burping, leaving the toilet seat up etc. Grin

hatesponge · 16/04/2012 23:12

I think if I ever live with a man again I want first dibs on the En-suite for my own use.

The Scotsman didn't fart in front of me BUT he did go for a wee noisily having left the door open (contrast to me who closed AND locked the door AND ran the tap while I was weeing to cover the sound!)

Why do I want him to call me? Grin

OP posts:
TimeForMeAndDD · 16/04/2012 23:15

Grin because you are caught up in the same fantasy as Mrs KL!! You forget the reality of these creatures also known as men! You need a sharp reminder and it will be given to us all by MrsKL in a few weeks time, when the reality of the situation hits home. You mark my words!

MissKeithLemon · 16/04/2012 23:16

Yes, I agree. Forget my shit advice Tollys. I am not someone to take advice from in the game of luuuuurve. I always take the easist option even if its a little harmless lie

Last week I asked upthread how to tell my first pof date that I wasn't comfortable meeting by a canal at 6.30pm. I took the advice and it worked. GrinLeft on my own I'd have spun a line and probably not even gone on said first date.

Am so glad I did. [giddy kiddy] But trying not to get too attached too quickly

TimeForMeAndDD · 16/04/2012 23:17

And sponge if you ever need to wee in the presence of a man again, you need to put loo paper in the pan and hover in such a position that the wee hit s the side and trickles quietly down, rather than directly hitting the bottom of the pan. It's also good exercise for the inner thighs.

notsurewhyohwhy · 16/04/2012 23:20

Wow I don't think I would want to pick someone up for a first date either! I think it's odd that he asked you to do that, but maybe if he was able to drive he would offer to pick you up? So he might not think its weird!

I was just charting with mr location on the phone and he said some really nice things about me and we are having our second date on Friday which he is really looking forward to and I am looking forward to it too.

He keeps asking me to wear a dress, I don't mind wearing a dress but feel like I don't want to now as he keeps asking me and I don't want to let him tell me what to do Wink

But I did say I will if he will wear his fireman outfit and he said he would under his clothes Hmm Confused

MissKeithLemon · 16/04/2012 23:20

Time oh I do hope you are wrong! He seems so nice. He came for a cuppa tonight while ds was out at a friends. He didn't try to jump me again, which would not have been appropriate, he was still lovely though. Maybe I am a fool, but its been a v long time Shock
