It was on my newsfeed watch. Mine the new timeline thing and I have no idea how it works. The security bit isn't as straightforward as it used to be.

Yes MLM, spill! We need to know how to go about this. I've got builders up the road from me, although they do look rather young.

watchoutforthatsnail · 14/05/2012 11:49

I thought that, and ive looked at the security bit, but i cant bloody see anything that says ' stop people reading evey thing i comment or like'

because i dont want everyone knowing all my fucking business. And also, and this will sound silly, but everyone who knows me thinks im really outgoing and popular and friendly, and confident, which i am. I just dont have any single friends. And im sure they might be abit Confused about me doing the ifriends thing. When its actually a good thing, im being pro active, but people are judgy buggers.

hatesponge · 14/05/2012 11:54

Am surprised about stuff being deleted, I'll wait and see if my own post linking to my profile goes the same way!

watch well done with operation single friends. if nothing else hopefully you will meet some like-minded people, I never think it hurts to make more friends to go out and do stuff with!

I think I might bin off the separated guy, not sure he's for me. I appear to have a date (of sorts) this evening Hmm.

TimeForMeAndDD · 14/05/2012 11:59

Oh don't worry about the judgemental's watch, if they have nothing better to do than sit and watch your FB just so they can sit in judgement then it says more about them than it does about you. And they can't really call themselves proper friends if they do that either. What is this ifriends things that you speak of??

I think your post will be safe Sponge Smile A date this evening? Wow, that was quick! You don't mess about do you? Grin

watchoutforthatsnail · 14/05/2012 12:05

oh no, course not, but im just not sure i like people seeing my everymove either. its abit big brother. For example i cancelled my fridays pub thing, left a note on the wall saying i had baby sitter issues and a school gate mum text me to say she would have DD for me if i wanted to go out. Which is nice and all, but then i felt a bit crap , because it was a lie! and er, well, then it all gets a bit complicated.
ifriends is just the name of the group. its just a socalising thing, like city socalising, and meet up. but its free and is on fb. i think its only in our area as was set up by people unimpressed with city socalising prices and lame events!

Sponge - bin him off. too much hastle, so whats this date this evening?

hatesponge · 14/05/2012 12:08

Tis not a proper date exactly! The far too young one I mentioned (who was msging me end of last yr for a while then disappeared) phoned me last night for an hour Shock. he is in the area later today dropping some stuff off so is going to hang around and meet me later for a chat & possibly a coffee if anywhere is still open...

TimeForMeAndDD · 14/05/2012 12:09

Yes, I see what you mean. I must admit I'm very careful about the things I post because I'm never sure who is reading them. I once 'liked' something then got a message from someone about my 'like'. I didn't know the likes were made public to all your friends either.

The ifriends sounds really good. I've joined that Meetup group but so far nothing has come up in my area. Who would have thought it could be so hard to make new friends. I need a social life before DD leaves home! Grin

TimeForMeAndDD · 14/05/2012 12:10

Grin well at least it gets you out Sponge. Just go and enjoy it, and report back!

hatesponge · 14/05/2012 12:19

Time this is true Grin He's a nice guy, it's just a shame he's not 10 yrs older! I have a bit of a weakness for men I can 'help' and he ticks that box in various ways...he is very keen though which is a bit worrying (I don't like men who are keen, it makes me uncomfortable!) and has told me he is hiding his profile on POF Hmm

TimeForMeAndDD · 14/05/2012 12:22

Grin he might turn up with an engagement ring tonight!! I would just go and enjoy it for what it is. You never know, the man of your dreams might be at the next table and slip you his number...

hatesponge · 14/05/2012 12:25

hahaha! yes its a bit of fun for me, and he is ridiculously keen so provided tonight isn't a disaster and I don't hate him I think I will definitely get a second date and finally break the 1 date curse Grin

Don't forget to wear your poloneck and your hair in a bun, you are guaranteed a second date! Grin

MirandaWest · 14/05/2012 12:51

I find having my mum as a friend on Facebook helps me think hard about what I post Grin

watchoutforthatsnail · 14/05/2012 13:06

haha, im not posting awful things. never do. but its just the everyone knowing im organising a thing for a bunch of strangers to go to, people might be a bit confused about it. My mother happens to think its fab and says she admires me for getting out there and trying to make stuff happen rather that doing what most people do which is winge!

sponge - good luck, cant wait to hear all abot it.

SPsFanjoHarboursDeadCats · 14/05/2012 13:08

I'm meeting up with the lad either tomorrow night or Thursday night! We were going to meet up last night but he said he was feeling too nervous and was worried I wouldn't like him.

MyLittleMiracles · 14/05/2012 13:27

Young is good for me, so long as they are 18 all is well! (23 myself) I tend to say something witty (always comes out wrong) twiddle with the hair, ask if they are you like me and single? (people assume baby=partner) and generally make plenty of eye contact (i could fall in love with anyone if they had just friends' eyes!) and then wiggle my bum, on purpose which i can do in my shape ups, its all about dipping the hips slightly!

watchoutforthatsnail · 14/05/2012 13:40

hmmm, so you would interupt someone doing work on a building site? i must say, thats very brave. Just to go up to the edge of a barrier and shout something witty at them.
and then to just ask if they are single.

MyLittleMiracles · 14/05/2012 13:42

I dont mind the friends on facebook seeing what i have written, i mean i dont broadcast who i have slept with (only my bestie knows i slept withj just friends and you guys) cos well i mean that would be asking for trouble, the other stuff so far today is have a headache but still walking to town this girl has a size 8 and law course in her grasp, on a friends status, Its alright for some, i have a four mile walk to my new college to do today, and I am a little envious. To which i got back, you would love it, honestly grrr Envy (my friend the pilot, doing a visual landing)

MyLittleMiracles · 14/05/2012 13:45

They are only working on the exterior of teh t mobile shop in town, and sure he was drinking a greggs coffee, standing watching, (hopefully me) fuck it today i feel good being single!!

TimeForMeAndDD · 14/05/2012 13:46

That is brave MLM! I had alarm man in my house last year and couldn't pluck up the nerve to hit on him. I went all shy and girly Grin

MyLittleMiracles · 14/05/2012 13:50

I tend to go shy, hence it comes out wrong! LOL. Anyway he wasnt there, so my angel halo remains intact, til saturday when flirty texts will get sent to Just friends!

watchoutforthatsnail · 14/05/2012 14:09

sorry mlm - was he there, or wasnt he there. up thread you said you saw him today, then you say he wasnt there? im confused???

TimeForMeAndDD · 14/05/2012 14:17

Me too! Confused

MyLittleMiracles · 14/05/2012 14:25

He wasnt there when i walked back, probably buggered off to do some proper work, i mean how could he???

Just in case anyone wants a peek....HE IS NOT A POTATO!
