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!

TimeForMeAndDD · 17/04/2012 10:48

Ooh lubey, you will be out of practice! Grin

Have a lovely time and please, report back!

Lubey have a fab time, await your update!

mlm I'm so sorry for your loss and that you never knew your dad, I can't imagine how hard that must be. My dad died when I was 25 so although I miss him very much (and my mum who died when I was 21), I did have a lot of years with both of them, albeit not as many as I would have wished for.

Like they say its better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all.

MyLittleMiracle · 17/04/2012 11:09

Don't panic lubey if he can't accept you for who you ate he is one for the scrap heap.

ChaoticAngel · 17/04/2012 11:29

lubey good luck with your date.

AndLibby you too, hope there's a spark there this time.

MyLittleMiracle · 17/04/2012 11:32

I of course never panic about my just friends coming over, the cleaning and changing of bed sheets is purely coincidence, and it taking nd forever to get ready is how long it always takes.

What to wear. I have a pair of gorgeous heels, shame I can't actually manage to walk in them.

ChaoticAngel · 17/04/2012 11:32

I have just been given access to someone's private photo, of him wearing nothing more than a towel ShockGrin

MyLittleMiracle · 17/04/2012 11:53

Question is though, is he fit? Like drooling fit? Maybe he wants a pic back. Sorry me in s dress is the.most your'll get. But don't mind looking st topless for blokes. Like adi and Mattb19 umm nice to look at but lacking in other departments not the bedroom, naughty minds, lol I need to be kissed. I miss it, and am craving them.

ChaoticAngel · 17/04/2012 12:03

Try this

PoppaRob · 17/04/2012 12:27

Good luck lubey! Have fun mate! Wink

ChaoticAngel · 17/04/2012 12:43

Hey, PoppaRob how are you? :)

MyLittleMiracle · 17/04/2012 12:49

Can't get on it. But I already have my eye candy (s) lol. I love to look and get to touch, but they don't make me tingle or know I need a text right then. Just asking how I am. Mr just friends does, I feel right being with him. Oh well I will see what happens and keep you updated. LOL

KirstyWirsty · 17/04/2012 13:46

I went out with a pilot once (and only once!) who was as dull as dishwater and asked did I never wear a blouse!!! I was wearing a very saucy wee black gyspy top at the timeHmm

Never felt the need to meet up with him after that?? didn't fancy ending up with someone who told me how to dressGrin

Snapespeare · 17/04/2012 14:05

Good luck Lubey! demanding salacious details on your return! :)

adamschic · 17/04/2012 14:40

It's taken me ages to catch up on reading this thread!

Watch, do you reckon ykw is reading this thread or could it just be a co incidence?

Sponge, if you had sex then I would hope to hear from him the next day tbh. Men know what is expected of them after intimacy imho. Hope he is just clueless and will get in touch soon.

Notsure, I wouldn't like someone telling me what to wear, seems abit odd.

Time, I bet one day someone will knock you for six and all your rules will be broken. You will want nothing more that to sleep in his arms every night, he will be in his fifties with grey chest hair and still gorgeous. (Wistfully missing my EUM like mad).

Will have a read of the baggage reclaim links to spur me on to realise that I did the right thing re said EUM.

Lubey, how did it go?

Hi to everyone else.

MyLittleMiracle · 17/04/2012 14:47

Yes lubey how did it go? I bought a new pair of skin tight jeans today, so I know I won't be jumping into bed with anyone, cos I probably wove be able to get them off too quick, LOL, at least there will be no regrets.

TimeForMeAndDD · 17/04/2012 14:53

Smile Do you really think so adams?

I can be a bit fickle so I suppose I should never say never.

TimeForMeAndDD · 17/04/2012 14:55

Talking of jeans, today I am wearing a pair that I haven't been able to get into for over 2 years! And I can sit down and everything! Grin

Grin at MLM and not being able to get your jeans off! Excellent contraception!

Adams either clueless or utterly stupid. I do know he is not looking for a relationship being as he is only here for a few months. And I think, reading between lines of some things he said, he has been single since he split with his Ex in 2006....admittedly I have been single since 2009, but it's not the same for men I think - Time you had an analogy about men generally being about women like monkeys and branches, not letting go of one til another was within their grasp.

I've reached a point of indifference now, I'd still like to hear from him, but am not constantly checking my phone for his text!

lubeybooby · 17/04/2012 15:12

Hey all

Date was meh - no spark in person (even though heaps via text/phone/email), and he was about 8cm shorter than my friend reckoned (he never lied about that btw I just never asked cos my friend thought he was very tall)

Nice enough chap, he IS hot, but also lacks humour and ...stuff. Like intellect. I don't fancy him.

Snapespeare · 17/04/2012 15:16

:(

next!!

watchoutforthatsnail · 17/04/2012 15:47

Lubey.... Urgh. So disappointing........

Sponge... Pah. Annoying..

Adams, I don't think so. He hasn't been at home for the last few days and was texting from some tower in London.......

Obviously been texting, then skype since then. Like a fool. But a currently happy fool...

TimeForMeAndDD · 17/04/2012 16:10

Sponge You mean 'men are like monkeys, they only let go of one branch when they firmly have hold of another one.' So true

lubey as snape says, NEXT!

Watch No comment! Grin Seriously, I think we all know how difficult these 'situations' are. You will get there in your own time. Eventually. Maybe. Perhaps.

ChaoticAngel · 17/04/2012 16:19

lubey sorry the date was so disappointing.

I got a message off someone who I added to my contacts on Oasisdating, thanking me for adding him and saying hope to speak soon. His pics look okay and his profile seems fine but he is only 5ft 8in so we shall have to see. I do prefer tall men, pref about 6ft.
