Ooh Justin timberlake, yum yum, but still prefer either usher or Leonardo dicaprio in Romeo and Juliet.

Snapespeare · 30/04/2012 22:06

'sovvy'= sovereign ring. It was the size of a satsuma. I'm suprised he could actually lift his arm above wanking waist level.

lovesineffable · 30/04/2012 22:07

whats wrong with del boy Confused Blush

MyLittleMiracle · 30/04/2012 22:10

Bit old for me, so is Leonardo and usher really I suppose........

hatesponge · 30/04/2012 22:14

Lolling at the satsuma-sized sovereign.

I don't massively object to sovereigns as my dad wore one which i wore and then lost after he died and anything my dad had has to be great :)

My nearly boyfriend in my teens had a ring like a sov except where the coin should have been was a gold version of the West Ham badge Shock

See, it could have been worse!

MyLittleMiracle · 30/04/2012 22:16

Oh come on if your gonna do that you have to support a decent team.....Chelsea.

hatesponge · 30/04/2012 22:18

He was is a diehard fan, used to cry when they got relegated ie most seasons. Nice guy, terrible taste in football teams and jewellry Grin

MyLittleMiracle · 30/04/2012 22:24

Now I support Chelsea and moan when they lose stupidly but its only a game.

notsurewhyohwhy · 30/04/2012 23:29

watch - sorry to hear about the situation with your friend, I hope it works out ok.

MsC - wow I cannot believe he did that, what a stupid stupid man!!

well this dating business is getting annoying. I spoke to my friends exp the other day (he is a crappy guy) anyway he said pretty much most guys are only on POF for one night stands. He claims he has had 14 one night stands but i can tell he is lying.

also the bit about people saying you look dirty/naughty I am usually told I look sweet and innocient but I am actually naughty when they get to know me.

and the guy I slept with on friday was talking crap saying 'oh your a bad girl' and crap lik that, but luckily I cant remember too much of that.

I got this mesage from a guy a couple of weeks ago:

hey
I love women who have a very wicked sence of humour, if you was dared to find a massive built bloke say 6ft plus full of muscle to force me to kiss your shoes while you stand and laugh would you find someone who would make me? he he

and this from the same guy today:
if you was dared would you have a massive built bloke make me polish your shoes while you stand and giggle? love women with a wicked sense of humour :) lolx
x

weird guy Hmm

and I've now had one guy send me the same crappy little message 3 times! piss off Grin

ChaoticismyLife · 30/04/2012 23:34

He claims he has had 14 one night stands but i can tell he is lying.

Maybe not if he counts his hand as a one night stand? HmmWink

notsurewhyohwhy · 30/04/2012 23:43

lol, I dont know but he is a stupid guy Smile

what is up with these guys? The ones I fancy have really crap converstaion and I can talk as much as anyone but its difficult to make conversation with people that write one liners.

also I didnt think I had a problem with text speak but its also starting to annoy me. I sometimes write 'u' or 'tho' but why would you bother writing bbe instead of babe? one guy writes bbe once or twice in every message Hmm even though the message is one line in length.

lovesineffable · 30/04/2012 23:55

translation..he sent 14 messages out to women that he would like to have ONS with
or he 'pleasured himself' whilst looking at pictures of the 14 aforementioned:o

ChaoticismyLife · 30/04/2012 23:55

I had one message that said 'hi', that was it Hmm

At least he spelt it right Grin

I'm off to bed, night.

notsurewhyohwhy · 01/05/2012 00:08

Loves - I think your second guess is probably right!

And with the hi message I get loads of them Confused

Seriously a little bit of conversation wouldn't go a miss! Boring profiles and boring when messaging!

MyLittleMiracle · 01/05/2012 08:20

I caved, whilst drunk last night I text him, despite having got no reply. No reply still, but not texting again. I hope he is feeling better but thinking that he is just cutting contact. Could be worse though.

MyLittleMiracle · 01/05/2012 09:03

Going back to the library today, wonder if Mr cute library will be there, cos I might ask for his number......he kept looking at my left hand, and ffs I have marks, which although fading are from my wedding rings......remind me why u got married.

MirandaWest · 01/05/2012 09:33

Mr Nice is going to be here soon :)

TimeForMeAndDD · 01/05/2012 09:36

Exciting Miranda Smile Did you get the curtain rail sorted out? Maybe that could the first job for Mr Nice Grin

Watch hope you are ok, love?

Snape Hope you have recovered from your date Grin

Hi to everyone else Smile

MirandaWest · 01/05/2012 09:41

Erm curtain still a problem. But only on one side. Not exactly sure mr nice would appreciate being asked to do DIY as has to be said not exactly why he has been invited Wink.

The sunny weather from yesterday has gone. Boo.

PostBellumBugsy · 01/05/2012 09:43

OMG - stupid computers. Typed another big message & it logged me out again. Valiantly pressed back - but it had all bloody disappeared. GRRRRRRRR.

Watch - I'd have to meet him and hear all he has to say - but that is probably very poor advice!

MrMusic finally asked me on a date! Thank you to all of you for your advice that I should form a spine. I dropped a fairly heavy hint & he asked - yay! If it hadn't been for you lot we'd have probably emailed ourselves into the next century & never met up!!!! Date & venue tbc.

ChaoticismyLife · 01/05/2012 09:47

Morning :)

watch hoping you're okay.

Post great news Grin

Miranda enjoy your day.

MyLittleMiracle · 01/05/2012 09:54

Hope you enjoy yourselves. Slightly jealous here. I need a cuddle.......I know I have someone who will come if I call I know will come but they are 19, someone I went on a date with and let's face it will be hoping for more than a hug, which is all I need. Ooooh. :( never mind I am strong, that's what people must see, and everyone does, but deep down I am fragile and I don't always cope as well as people think

MyLittleMiracle · 01/05/2012 09:55

Glad everyone else's love lifes are better than mine atm. Feeling envious here

adamschic · 01/05/2012 10:08

Watch, I would probably be tempted to see him face to face and find out what he is up to. But only of I was secretly wishing him to declare a future for us. You said you didn't have feelings for him so I cannot see the dilemma.

Only you know what you really want to do, but be careful, he and the gf might just be having a domestic and he fancies an ego stroke. Hope this isn't the case and he is genuine. Depending on what you want, of course. Then again I might meet up just for the satisfaction of telling him he is too late.

PostBellumBugsy · 01/05/2012 10:09

MLM - I've been on 3 dates so far so you've definitely had more cuddles than me. You will find someone particularly as you are so young & pretty! Smile
