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!

Oh yes, standards. I will wait for a shag rather than lower my standards. I don't think my standards are the problem, it's the lack of men who reach them! Honestly, if you could see the blokes who have messaged me this morning... probably really nice men, just not for me. No.

haha, do you think they are any better down here? NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't see him unless I have a problem with the alarm watch. The last time he came out, last June, I went all girly and all of a tither, it was quite pathetic! BUT, if he knocked on my door now, I would get around to asking him out!

then definatley take a screw driver to it. or just lie ;)

I might add a blunt bit on my profile "If you resemble Shrek or his uglier brother, please do not message me. If you claim your trousers to be waist size 32, make sure you aren't wearing them on your pubic bone, before you message me. If you can't see your shoes, do not message me. If you are expecting to use your bus pass on our first date, do not message me"

Then my inbox will be empty!

lubey - on ya mate! :-)

Zany - If it happens and it's what you want then of course accept but don't rush things... see how the kids react to the concept that you and and he are there for the long haul and they're a part of the deal. Make it very clear that the kids have no power of veto over the relationship, but that you would both like to know what they think of the idea of it becoming a marriage and what they may see as the pros and cons of becoming the Zany Bunch. But I am so very happy for you mate. Even if he doesn't pop the question it's great to see you enjoying the relationship.

Well, last June when I called him out, just dusting the panel had caused the error light to come on. He fixed it in a second and I was sure he thought I had done it on purpose. But he did say "just give me a call if you need me." I wonder if that applies to things other than alarms??

zany, exciting

lubey,glad you had a great time [understatement of the century there] but next time you hit the ceiling can you take your phone with you so you can update us from there

Time, that could be open to all sorts of interpretations

In my dreams Chaotic the 'interpretations' are very fantastic!

I've had those sort of interpretative dreams too Time. They're fantastic every time

They certainly are. But they leaving you longing!!!

lubey glad you had such a fab time :)

I have still had no text. I hope I might, but am preparing myself for the fact I won't, and that's it, I won't be hearing from him again.

Am having the most god-awful day at work, and the not-so cheery prospect of sitting at home all weekend on my own with nothing to do is making me want to cry.

time, you NEED to go have some casual fun, you really do. can you not find even one half decent man to message?

Im going to pm you a profile of someone ive been talking to - im not feeling it, can you just confirm i would be wasting my time?

sponge - find a back up - get chatting to anyone and find a coffee date?

sorry he didnt reply back - men are such fuckers, they really are :(

watch you NEED your bumps read. Or glasses! He is so not for you!

And no, sadly there is not one candidate for fun of any kind.

This profile is pulling the messages though!! 2 more!

i didnt think he was :) but wondered if i was being a bit picky or something.

There is literally noone in a 25 mile radus im interested in - ridiclous.

Thats a good pull of messages, im not gettiing any really... one new one a day if that?

No, trust me, you are not being picky at all.

Maybe when the weather picks up so will the quality of men

Change your profile watch, copy mine! You can have the men it's attracting too

haha, thanks but no thanks :)

lubey glad you had such as good time, I assume you plan on seeing him again? I am quite looking forward to seeing just friends again. Still not sure when though, but we do tend to change things at the last moment anyway, I feel a little low today, must get that exercise dvd out and start it, but hide it before anyone comes over.

i feel like a gazelle. A boy has been messaging me daily for months, just after sex, i just asked him why and apparently, its simple ' he just has to have me'

hahaha.

i might. maybe. not sure

Better than feeling like a heffer watch, which is what I feel like right now after a magnum and a bag of chocolate peanuts. That's what talking about sex you aren't getting does to you!

Lubey that sounds great. Does he have a single dad? (well I AM old..). Will now fantasise about getting undressed in hotel corridors (just after breaking a sink)
Zany enjoy every minute and take your time before answering, ahhh, I luv marriages (other peoples') , they make me cry
