The Dating Thread - Part 12. How NOT to lose the will to live. Sense of humour essential!

[TimeForMeAndDD]

Good morning everyone! Had to start a new thread as the old one is no longer receiving posts.

Fill yer boots!

hes reolied and say it was fab, lets do it again.

that meants jack shit.

interestingly he said as a man its hard to get any kind od reply back, and then how frustrating it is when you see whomeoe is online but they havenet replied to you and yu want tehm too.... not too disimilar to women.

ive said im temted to ask him over to share the rest of my rum. if no reoly in 10 mins im loggin goff... if he does reply ill be quickly shabing my lesgs.

fuck it. life is too short.

watch it sounds like you had a great night, I suspect he may be round shortly

I survived barely DS's party today and am bloody shattered. Still it was his last big party for at least 5 years so I'm glad I did it.

Barbour text me tonight. I foolishly replied, within 3 messages he'd asked if I was alone & he could come round

Twat.

i dont know. thats cheely of me. i know for a fact he fancied me and wanted a shag

hmm, thats slutish of me. but he was very very very good looking. time said she would have dated him. thats how good looing he was.

fuck.

glad the party went well :)

and fuck ahim and his barbour.

has he replied yet? :) am living this vicariously as my own life is so dull
ignoring the fact that this time last week I was on a really good date with the Scot!

Barbour is such a waste of my time. Clearly I'm not even worth actually going on a date with in his view....

im late in to the thread only joining at about page 9. can I ask what the story behind Barbour is?

nope. nloody logged out adn not got the message.

bugger.
shit why didnt i take the seatie.
you know what stopped me asking him back - hairy legs and an unhoovered house. for gods sake.

i honestly dont expect ill hear any more now... the ' yes, lets do it again, eber comes to anything, and lets be honest, he was fit as hell, its unlikely ill be that lucky, especially considering i was his first internet date ever. He going to want to give it a go and see what else comes up.....

Am just back home from my date. Was good :) Nice person and we talked a lot. Will read what everyone else has been writing now :)

I had shaved my legs and hoovered my house lol but no sex. But that was fine with me. Got given flowers which i rather liked. Will see what happens I think although would quite like to see him again I think,

am at the stage where I am tired but not ready to sleep. Hmm.

Miranda - sounds like it went well. What was he like? And I think giving you flowers is really sweet.

Tolly - the thing about him getting to 40 and never living with anyone was bad enough, but the thing about waiting to get a gf before having a op! No way!! And why the hell would he need to find out your salary before a first date, weird!!

Watch - glad you liked him shame you didn't get any action but if you do have a second date you will probably be glad

Miranda - I like the sound of flowers in a first date do you think you fancy him?

help just posted this in an exercise thread... how do i delet it??

Well just to update mr workaholic called last night but missed his call, so called him back and he didn't answer, and he hasn't called me today, wow big changes there I'm glad I had already decided that I didn't want to be invoked or else I would feel let down!

Saw fwb yesterday and was possibly going to see him again tonight but he couldn't make it, I wasnt too fussed about seeing him but now feel like I could do with some action!!

He's about 6 foot tall (actually didn't lie about his height lol) with dark hair and nearly 40. Not sure whether I fancy him (not amazing looking but perfectly nice iykwim). Think I am the first person he has gone on a date with since splitting with his ex wife but I have only been on 2 since splitting with XH lol.

Will email him tonorrow I think

He has emailed me :) And said he had a great time.

Can I join? I signed up for match affinity, what a load of olde shite that's been, then at the recommendation. of a mumsnetter signed up with ok Cupid which seems a bit better. It's been three weeks and not a sign of a date in sight. I did have one night of texting with a very buff engineer, not my type really but had some big guns I found vaguely attractive. He had nothing remotely interesting to say for himself hut not sure why he didn't after night one? Un destined to be single forever.

Aren't you the sly one, Ms West Flowers and an Apres date email... way to go, honey. Hope you told him you don't get into bed for less than a serious rock box of Belgian chocs

And as for you, watch, you wanton harlot left wanting I hope you're rightly ashamed proud of your ability to drink him under the table and I wish you more restraint better luck next time - and I have no doubt he'll be back for a second bout but, while I'm waiting for curtain up round 2, please put me out of my misery and tell me wtf is a 'seatie'?

A seatie is that stupid thing you do on a bicycle. Where one sits on the seat and the other stands and rides. We were both smashed. It was down hill... Wouldn't have been a good idea.

Damn that was a good, and unexpected night :)

Id Like to do it again. Id really like to see him again. But second dates are like gold dust, so, you know..... But whatever, I had a fab night.

I now need to walk 3 miles to collect my car.

watch we call them a 'backie' in Yorkshire

Your posts have had me in stitches I'm so pleased you had a good night and he may well call you, I hope he does, I really do. I can't believe you are up so early after all the alcohol you consumed but the 3 mile walk will see that off

It sounds like a good night was had by all!

Well done on surviving the party sponge and on ignoring barbour!

Miranda - sounds like a nice guy and he seemed to like you so maybe a second date would help

Watch - your posts were so funny last night, I could imagine myself writing the same type of thing after a few drinks! And I would never attempt a 3 mile walk with a hang over! Well done

Well done on surviving that party (can I just ask were you drunk.....I would have needed to be to agree to it)

watch there is nothing wrong with being very attracted to someone and jumping into bed/sofa/wherever else, not telling ny secrets glad he was soo good looking.

miranda now all you need to do is keep him well trained.

Have just woken up - had a good sleep :)

Will reply to my date (am thinking of how to describe him - possibly Mr Nice ). Pretty sure a second date will happen - just need to work out when I can go on a date as have the childten quite a lot in the next few weeks. May have to try and bend XHs arm a bit .

Was lovely getting flowers. And we both talked and talked a lot. Not any massive spark but felt v comfortable which for me was more important. No chance of sex last night but maybe another time

Watch, glad you had a good time! Your posts were hilarious! :)

I feel gloomy today. Usual lovely night with PM, we were being mean and setting up an OKC profile for the ex flat mate, he's had a haircut and looks very dashing (had to stop self gazing at him adoringly) but i just feel low. It's lovely, but i think i'm just a bit worn out and hungover and feel sad about it all. This is probably compunded by getting a message on OKC from a man who resembles a potato. :( why do i get the potatoes? Why cant i have someone gloriously lovely with lovely new hair ? Meh.

Miranda I'm pleased the date went well and that you got yourself a Mr Nice.

Snape I'm sorry to hear about the potato. They do make good chips though so not all bad? I'm sorry you are feeling low too. Why not give PM a ring and invite him round for lunch, that should cheer you up

I'm still exchanging messages with one that makes me laugh but he doesn't do it for me looks wise. Other than that I enjoyed a pleasant night stuffing my face with chocolate and crisps and watching BGT whilst texting watch

That's about exciting as it gets in this house!

I'm so glad someone asked what a seatie was!...we call it a backie down here in Kent (well, we did when I was a child, would have to ask the DSs what the current slang is!)

Greatly relieved party is over & done with - all the parents when collected were like 'you must be mad' but when I asked DS about his birthday, he didnt want anything other than a party at home. I'm conscious that the boys dont have the easiest lives, their dad is a total arse, I don't see much of them because of the hours I work and when I am here I am normally stressed about work or the house or the Ex so it was nice to give him something he really wanted. Even if he did have a bit of a tantrum at the end when I said 3 of his friends couldn't sleep over...

I only ignored Barbour when he asked to come round. I shouldn't have engaged with him before that. But in asking he really annoyed me - he's never even snogged me on a date (we've only of course ever had one date 2 months ago!) and yet he thinks he can just come round, that I'm not even worth another date though clearly I am worth shagging.

Snape I just got a message from this www.pof.com/viewprofile.aspx?sld=1&profile_id=14140890 Does it beat your potato? This is a not so small example of the men I block attract.
