sleepless very nice! Smile

sleeplessindenial · 24/04/2012 22:03

I have just sent a friend request to someone although I am not sure if it's the right person Blush

likeatonneofbricks · 24/04/2012 22:05

the problem is, if you start messaging on FB there wouldn't be time for hte htread. I'm not on FB, and don't want to go on it, so I'd left here with odd messages fron you all! Sad
polly but you couldn't deal with her 'usual' speed - you'll go mad! anbd you still haven't asked for her number? you said you would if she replies to post-meet e mail. phones are great also because if she did secretly had interest she could text something when drunk, people are braver with texts. Not that i expect this to happen but if you had her number you'd find out sooner whether she has interest because it's be much easier to arrange drinks and you could see whether she does arrange or not. You are almost hiding behind the slow email as you can make excuses then for her.

I have to admit I don't post much on this thread because it's so public :/

sleeplessindenial · 24/04/2012 22:11

Likea, maybe you could set up a fb in your mn name, no photo if you wanted to stay anon? I know some people just don't do fb though Smile

Crushinghard · 24/04/2012 22:13

Same here juney.

pollyblue · 24/04/2012 22:15

Likea she did reply to my post drinkie email, and I have replied to that but I completely forgot about asking for her phone number - one of my friends committed suicide on Sunday, I heard about it Sunday night and tbh I've been a bit all over the place since then. I will ask when I next hear from her.

Loveisthemessage · 24/04/2012 22:24

Didn't someone suggest setting up a private forum. Was it Allotment?

likeatonneofbricks · 24/04/2012 22:31

polly - why didn't you ask after the meeting?
I've read about your friend - very sorry!Sad
I can't see why the people who posted a lot here would now mind it being public, too late for thatGrin and come one, how many wiqs use MN and generally with respect many stories sound similar, it's very hard to identify anyone here.

Crushinghard · 24/04/2012 22:32

It was me, but I realised it wouldnt really work as well as a fb gp.

likeatonneofbricks · 24/04/2012 22:36

sleep - hmm I do understand. I'm ashamed to say that this very issue bothered me as I've always been hetero. Did you see me asking Gay40 about strap ons and whether it can be frustrating sexually without a man (anatomically). The pint is though if my wiq got interested, I'd give that up easily (but it took a while to think like this) - I also used to like sex but it gets boring and samey without finding love. I'd trade my sexual habits for love (and new different habits). But if wiq was a no-go I'm not closed to meeting a man, it's just hard to imagine one i could really love.

likeatonneofbricks · 24/04/2012 22:37

Crushing, you didn't answer about age group you aer in.
What is it that you would say that you couldn't say here? you mean episodes fronm the past? you already told us about current crush, can't quite see how it wd be different on fb?

pollyblue · 24/04/2012 22:39

Likea I don't know, it just went completely out of my mind.

Crushinghard · 24/04/2012 22:42

Likea, I'm mid 30s. Am in delicate times with dh and don't want to post anything here which he may find now or later which may upset things.

likeatonneofbricks · 24/04/2012 22:49

but as i understood there is nothing to post right now, as your wiq is out of bounds anyway. If it's just thoughts and fantasies how would he possibly know it's you (apart from hte fact he even reads MN?) if he doesn't already know something.
So you aer not in older group - oh well, wanted some viewpoint from an older woman.
If everyone suddenly disappears from here to fb, I'd be crushed, and also this will be hte end of thread, G40 aer you happy with that? and sleepless (who posted already everything..your wiq isn't on mn is she)?

sleeplessindenial · 24/04/2012 22:55

Well I stupidly recommend mn to her but I don't think she uses it and besides I don't think I would be to upset if she did see this as its just pages and pages if me saying I adore her BlushGrin and she knows that already.

I am going to carry on posting here too, I llike your posts likea you put a lot of time and thought into your posts and they are very much appreciated Smile

pollyblue · 24/04/2012 22:56

I'm still here, and on FB too, will not desert MN! Tis easier to write a longer post on here. Likea why don't you do as sleepless suggested and set up a FB page as Likea, you don't need a photo or any other details.

sleeplessindenial · 24/04/2012 23:07

I am already in bed off to bed now an very tired as wiq took me on a 2 hour walk if it had been anyone else I'd have got a taxi but didn't want to leave her side I have blisters! Night all Smile

pollyblue · 24/04/2012 23:08

Night sleepless x

likeatonneofbricks · 24/04/2012 23:41

sleep - aww how devoted is that - she's getting blisters in the name of love Smile!
That's a relief that you will stay here, polly and sleep. I personally don't want to post in two places as it's ridiculously time consuming, you say sleep that I put a lot of time, but I only really write a lot in the evenings especially after an absence (or if anything dramatic goes on) - I do put a lot of thought but not a lot of time, as i do lots of other things on computer like Gay40 and am multitasking. I can't add fb too as I won;t get anything else done. Also I'm pretty content with a smaller company if other people don't want to share stories here (we three already have out hands full especially sleep, so a lot to discuss, plus others seem to be only thinking/fantasising so I can't see what are they going to discuss on fb that they couldn't on here). Gay40 I hope stays on her OWN thread and doesn't desert us, as we are all like old friends, and people like Allotment and Loveis who take part a lot I hope also would still write if they feel like it.

likeatonneofbricks · 24/04/2012 23:43

it would also mean repeating the same on both forums! not for me..no such patience!Grin

pollyblue · 24/04/2012 23:45

I bet it'll end up that all the juicy stuff will still be written about on here, because they'll be the lengthier posts, and the FB page will be used for general chat.

But nosy old bag that I am I am enjoying immensely the chance to put faces to names and rifle through their photos Grin

likeatonneofbricks · 24/04/2012 23:51

not sure they will all reveal themselves with photos!Shock even for hte fear that one of the posters knows then in rl (not impossible). polly it's ridiculous you call yourself 'old bag' so often!

pollyblue · 24/04/2012 23:54

Yes, they've all got photos up, save me Grin because I really am an old bag.

pollyblue · 24/04/2012 23:57

I used to be told (pre-DC) that I look like the actress Gina McKee. Ha. Now I look like Gina McKee if Gina McKee had had a really really hard time Grin My face has sort of caved in over the past couple of years. I'm not sure what's happened, but it's happened pretty bloody fast.
