I'm going to use that line in my next profile "I want to peel off my dress in a hotel corridor...."

NOT a Travelodge either!

:o

Time :o I so hope you get to do the dress thing ;)

Yes definitely plan on seeing him again, don't know when at the moment but soon hopefully. Been texting all day on and off

The details on him: rich? well considerably better off than me, he is an accountant but partner in the company and has a luuurvely Merc, and he is very generous and a real sweetheart with it too. I am totally not ever bothered about money but I have to say it did afford us a very good time last night

No single brothers or dad that I'm aware of unfortunately

He is about 6ft 2, short dark hair, he is 35.

TimeForMeAndDD · 26/04/2012 14:43

I hope so too lubey Grin

Gosh, he sounds... perfect! The first date is going to take some beating!!

I don't peel ny dress off in hotel corridors. I plan in looking very seductive next time just friends comes over, shame about the fact I could never pull it off. So skinny jeans and top it is. I however would let one person do pretty much anything.

Personally I don't ever plan on getting married once was bell, let alone again but that's just me.

lubeybooby · 26/04/2012 14:50

Time that was our 4th date but the others were all great too, coffee, lunches etc and we really clicked which led to that 4th date being soooooooo damned good :D

TimeForMeAndDD · 26/04/2012 14:53

Oh my gosh! Shock Sorry lubey, I missed all that Blush

Then everything is going perfectly towards a relationship!! It's so lovely, all 'proper' and everything. I am so pleased for you!!!!!! Grin

Maybe I should do the cosmic thingy. What is it exactly/

I know I asked once before but that was ages ago and I've had several sleeps since then.

[sorry about lack of question mark but I'm on laptop and shift keys aren't working.]

lubeybooby · 26/04/2012 14:56

Yeah it happened really quickly from 1st date to 4th, we met for coffee last week which was so enjoyable even just sat chatting with coffee that we then then had lunch dates two days in a row for example :o I was so busy I couldn't update here at the time but yeah it is lovely that it's all been 'proper'

MirandaWest · 26/04/2012 15:04

I am very Grin for your lovely date lubey :)

I cosmic ordered once for selling a house. Worked well then.

Am a little jittery about tonight which is daft (more jittery about XH picking children up in time so I am on time tbh).

MyLittleMiracle · 26/04/2012 15:22

I feel jittery about seeing just friends again. Last time he had no expectations this time he will have.

hatesponge · 26/04/2012 15:37

3pm has come and gone, that's officially a write off now then. And my team have all bitched to management about me and how I'm not doing my job properly, so I expect to be dragged into a meeting next week to discuss my performance. So that's all just great. I'll have plenty of time to think about it over the weekend. I would say things can't get any worse but I don't want to tempt fate Hmm :(

MyLittleMiracle · 26/04/2012 15:54

Oh sponge are men really sort the hassle of they do this to us?

PostBellumBugsy · 26/04/2012 16:00

Oh Lubey - how fantastic!!!!! I had such a huge grin reading your post about your very sexy night. Awesome stuff. Bet you just can't stop smiling.

Miranda - hope you have a great date tonight. Will be looking forward to hearing all about it.

MLM - are you seeing just friends tonight?

Sponge - sorry to hear you are having a crap day. Will keep fingers crossed that it doesn't get any worse.

Zany - OMG!!!!!! How exciting. Don't let what happens to other couples / people put you off. You & Mr Yacht are not a statistic.

I have a potential date in the offing - but he hasn't bloody asked yet. I shall have to resort to the "if you asked me for a drink, I'd say yes" line soon!!!!!

adamschic · 26/04/2012 16:14

Lubey, glad to hear it went so well. I cannot remember how you met him, was it a RL meeting.

I did the cosmic thing too and then started seeing the one I'm still seeing and when I think about it he ticks all the boxes. Rich, good looking, dream car etc. Not going into too much detail on here. Pity I don't tick all his Grin. I'm not interested in money and trappings either but this cosmic ordering is meant to be a fantasy thing, (not that I believe in all that clap trap). Just need to put on the top of my list. Fall hopelessly in love with me and I've cracked it for the next one Grin.

Zany, did you cosmic order yours? A proposal, how exciting and frightening. I would take the rock and then have a long engagement. I did this once but never made it to the alter, which was my decision but marriage is a massive step and needs to be done after the first flush of love.

PostBellumBugsy · 26/04/2012 16:16

What is this "cosmic" thing of which I know nothing? I feel like I am missing out on something.

adamschic · 26/04/2012 16:23

Post, you write a list of everything you want in a man. Be specific, even down to height, habits he doesn't have, money, job, looks, personality, everything. Then think really positively and pray abit too. Careful though what you wish for, the cosmic might misinterpet some things. i.e gives me space might mean doesn't ring for 3 days. Grin

PostBellumBugsy · 26/04/2012 16:35

Oh, ok - positive visualisation and a bit of Nichiren Buddhism thrown in! I know exactly what I want - but I'm obviously getting the praying thing wrong. Maybe it doesn't work for lapsed Catholics! Grin

lovesineffable · 26/04/2012 16:37

should it be written in blood?
what do you do with the list, burn it and cast the ashes out to sea?
put it under your pillow? wear it in your bra? :o

lovesineffable · 26/04/2012 16:39

and who/what should we pray to?
aphrodite
the zero point field?

ChaoticAngel · 26/04/2012 16:39

Mine would be on my computer which is about the only place I wouldn't lose it Grin

PostBellumBugsy · 26/04/2012 16:44

Is the writing significant? I just have mental list. Does it have to be written down?

lovesineffable · 26/04/2012 16:51

Hmm
I'm thinking that some sort of deliberate ritual is more likely to create a stable morphic field which will resonate with the energy of the ideal man and draw him to you via quantum entanglement?

or have I misunderstood the whole thing?

MyLittleMiracle · 26/04/2012 16:51

I don't know when I am seeing just friends again but hoping next time he will stay the night, we have chatted about it........... And other erm erm subjects. My place is now always spotless by 7pm. And my bed sheets are very clean.

adamschic · 26/04/2012 16:53

Post, has the mental list worked so far? No, well you have to write it down Grin

MirandaWest · 26/04/2012 16:53

Have you been out on any dates with him yet MLM?
