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!

Breathe watch, breathe!

My dress has arrived. Holy crap it's gorgeous, and fits

Oh cross posted

MLM come on now you know all that isn't good, love - you can't post something like that and ask for no lectures. People are concerned for a reason and it's a good one, your health and state of mind (self esteem)

Watch, starting at 11am for pre lunch coffee. Hahaa :o

MLM. You are nuts!

lubey Hurray re the dress! My dress has arrived too, it's too big! I'm just a bit worried the size down will be too small. I will have to do the pilates every day!

i always get terrible jitters, so embarrassing

LUBEY!!!!! the dress, the dress. take a pic wearing it :) you are going to look fab. Im excited for you. And, yeah, wow. cant wait for the report back.

MLM - im sorry, And i dont think there is any way i can say this without coming across horribly. Its not meant in a horrible way, just from a concerned way. You post things like that - the other week you were posting about being exclusive with somone in prison for violence, and when any one tried to help you ignore them. If you dont want help - or judgements stop posting things like that. At best it shows someone in need of help, at worst it looks like yo uhave problems or are trolling. If you do want help - there are people on MN who can help you. But dont post thigns that are wrong and dangerous and expect no comments back.

I need to breathe.... and sort the house out. and buy beer. And then sort me out. But my tummy is churning round and round with a mixture of over excitment and nerves :)

Jitters are a good thing i think. Its been ages and ages since ive had jitters about anyone.
I shall enjoy them for what they are :)

MLM, be careful with the diet pills. I used to live abroad and everyone was on the damn things as they were available over the counter in that country. Hope you are OK. Don't forget posters that MLM is much younger than most of you and this comes across in her posts.

Lubey, Watch hope the dates lives up to the anticipation. I'm sure they will.

Well my previously EUM is being very good and ringing lots so perhaps my stance (it was about lack of contact) might have paid off. Tbh, I have kind of pulled back emotionally myself and am just going to go with the flow for now as I am happy casually dating. Going to catch up with a couple of male friends this summer even if I'm still seeing him. Not much else to say from me. I'm not internet dating (but might join back in if/when I'm single again) so think I will just lurk from now on and see how you are all getting on. Good luck.

Woke up with that feeling that something exciting's happening 2day - and realised it's Watch's date! Hmm, I need to get a life of my own, don't I? But anyway, hope it goes brilliantly, Watch. Will be eagerly awaiting your updates!

Watch yeah I will take a pic soon and post on facebook! Provided I can decide what tights to wear that is - opaques, black sheer or natural non shiny.

I ordered a waist nipper thing which hasn't arrived, godammit. I'll just have to practise holding it in, haven't done that for ages being so unbothered about dating for so long!

and MLM what watch said in her previous post to you. Agree entirely

thats libby. hahaha. i shall repot back, dont worry. In fact im sure you will hhave a total run down.

lubey - it might arrive tomorrow? Ill be sucking it in later too :)

Ok - right, i need to get my act together. Im going to the shop for beer and chocolate, two of his favourite things i have not had thoughts about melting the chocolate over my boobs and then spend the rest of the day sorting the house while running about going ' oh my god'

Yes adams we are aware of MLM's age, and that is why good advice has been given. But like watch says, the advice isn't heeded or even wanted. It's frustrating to see a person putting themselves in a potentially dangerous situation and patience does tend to wear thin. Sympathy can do more harm than good sometimes.

In my day you wore a girdle! Not a waist nipper

Does Watch have a date tonight? Did I miss something?

Erm, I think she does Zany, there has been talk of shaving legs and cleaning so I gather something or someone is going down

yes zany:)
im also excited :)

Ahh didn't realise you were excited about a date Watch - you should hve mentioned it.

MLM 1) using someone elses perscription drugs is foolish at best, extremely dangerous at worst. Xenical is orlistat - it's a fat binder so if you eat something with x% of fat you get the watery orange shits. it's a lazy way of trying to lose weight, thinking you can eat fatty or sugary foods you crave and the shit out the consequences. uncontrollable watery orange shit interrupting a romantic candle lit dinner is far less attractive than a bit of a spare tyre. you've had a baby! a washboard stomach is highly unlikely, you can reduce it through controlling what you choose to put into your body (not xenical ffs) and a bunch of sit-ups.

you do not NEED to be a size 8, your weight is bound up in your ideas of attractiveness and feminimity - you've already had a lot of male interest, why on earth do you want/need to be a size 8?! sigh

watch - it's tuesday! :) love your jitters!

lubey dress!! sod the waist nipper, how on earth would you delicately remove that in the throes of passion? stand tall, remeber how much weight you have lost!

all quiet here. ds1 now being delightful after 'the talk' :)

time!!!!!!! no. absolute best behaviour. promise.

actually, - i have no idea, so. hmmmm. no promises.

Yeah, right watch, I believe you. not really

Now would be a good time to run a book. Will she or won't she? She WILL!!

mlm adjusting your diet and adding in a bit of exercise will usually get you better results than diet pills in any case :)
(and the side effects of xenical DO sound pretty yukk )
As snape says, some ab exercises will help to firm up the muscle and a bit of fast walking/jogging/cycling/swimming or similar a few times a week, in combination with a cleaner diet will help to reduce body fat levels

I did say be careful with diet pills. Also all of us, no matter what age, should be careful where and how they meet new people, it advises that on the sites for a reason. Fortunately there are very few axe murderers around, unfortunately they don't come with a sign above their heads so it's still worth everyone taking precautions, especially with youngsters living in the house.

Hello everyone, I have been away all week-end and just got back late last night (or early this morning). There is NO WAY that I can catch up on all that you chatterboxes have posted. Nevery mind...
Went mad in London and shopped till I dropped (my bank manager will hate me). Beautiful to die for shoes and dresses.
BUT, I need to lose a couple of kilos to wear one dress and feel really good in it (but that's called incentive....)
German Dr is away until May but is sending me the sweetest messages...
Italian motorbiker wants to see my dresses (read : help me take them off)
Businessman is busy but so am I, so he will have to wait for a while
I will take a couple of hours this evening to catch up reading all of your posts, seems that there is a dress and a few dates that I need to read about.
Have a nice day. Virtual hugs to all

:) time, my god woman..!! i might. i might not. There had better be some kissing. In fact just kissing would be lovely.
If he even turns up.

We shall see watch, we shall see. You are our resident sink breaker! I fear you may not be able to control yourself. You are shaving your legs in anticipation of something happening, no??
