Cinema group dating??? Is that an euphemism? HmmGrin

Suits me - I've got an unlimited cinema pass. Really, how am I single??

And isn't it just watch! Feel free to PM me.

Not on any dating sites at the moment - not exactly making it easy for myself, but honestly, I way prefer meeting people more spontaneously - I'm good at that - just crap at taking it further.

Right though - off to bed in a min as I have to get to the gym for 6am. This sculpted physique isn't going to come from a diet of chickpeas and chicken alone.

Lovely chatting to you all!

watchoutforthatsnail · 14/05/2012 22:56

Well,now I'm.going to have to pm you, aren't I.....

GeorgeCostanza · 14/05/2012 23:03

...well, unless I get there first. For now though - Goodnight!

Haven't really read welcomeGeorge
Does anyone remember the guy I was chatting to for an hour or so a day, been to prison, four kids? Texted to say he had met someone? Tonight he got back in touch with ME seems it didn't work out. I told him I am seeing someone r

SPsFanjoHarboursDeadCats · 14/05/2012 23:43

I have just organised a date with RL man. Going out Thursday Grin

I know this one won't bullshit me either as he's mates with my cousin who I'm close too

bucketbetty · 15/05/2012 00:08

Curiouser and curiouser, so, head teacher has came out of the wood work saying he's been away on a field trip. Yeah right! Thoughts?

Actuallyshocked · 15/05/2012 00:16

Hi everyone, been following this thread from the beginning and have certainly experienced the highs and lows of internet dating as many of you have. Just thought i'd say hello because I am actually shocked, just sent a message to a guy, very innocent, about what he'd said about his job and.... He's blocked me?!? Wth I wasn't rude and without trying to big myself up my profiles not that bad and I don't really consider myself ugly... In shock!!

Sorry first posting and I've posted twice somehow!!

hatesponge · 15/05/2012 01:53

Bloody hell a few hours away from you lot and I miss all the excitement!

I see have a man in our midst...I would bat my false eyelashes in the general direction but it appears Watch already has first dibs Grin

SP Thursday is my birthday and therefore a generally wonderful day, am sure you and RL man will have a great time (of course report back and tell us)

Betty I think the headteacher sounds like hard work, bin him and find someone more worthy of your time :)

Actually it is a bit rude BUT I have done this to guys myself on occasion, not because I've found anything about them particularly offensive or unattractive but just because they weren't for me and I didn't want them emailing me again. Probably a bit mean of me. Take heart though, I once got a msg from a guy, seemed nice enough, I replied, and he blocked me. Which is even worse I think. Just think of it as his loss!

So, in all the excitement did anyone remember I had a date tonight??! (well a pre-date for my date on Weds). All turned out a bit odd, we were meant to meet this evening but he was delayed with some work he was doing. Then we basically had 'words' by text, not over that but a silly comment he made which I possibly over-reacted to. By the time that was resolved and hed finished what he was doing it was so late I threw caution to the wind and told him to come round for a coffee. Which he did at about 11.30 (is lucky I don't go to bed early) and left half an hour ago. He didn't try it on, I did get a snog but I honestly sat there for the preceding hour & a half thinking 'hes really not that interested' . In fact even after snogging him I'm not sure. He is too young, and his life is a disaster BUT I do rather like him. Which of course means I will probably never see or hear from him again...!

TimeForMeAndDD · 15/05/2012 09:13

Morning everyone Smile

Actually welcome Smile and don't worry about being blocked, don't take it personally, he doesn't know you so it can't really be personal. And anyway, it's his loss!

Betty Agree with Sponge, he sounds too much like hard work. And rude! If he really was going on a field trip wouldn't it be good manners to tell the person you are chatting with, if only to explain your absence. I would move on and give him a wide berth.

Sponge yes, watch has first dibs on George. He has a cinema pass she is keen to get her hands on! she bribed him with sexual favours!!! And you little minx you!! A snog with a minor younger man!! In the comfort of your own home!! I bet he calls you! Grin

watchoutforthatsnail · 15/05/2012 09:33

Actually- what time says :)

Betty- what sponge and Time say. It's really not meant to be hastle and so fraught before you have even met, It's meant to be fun!!!

Sponge..... Bit of a risk inviting him over for coffee so late, but you are a grown up, so ill save the lecture :) so, you have an actual date with him tomorrow then? Did he say anything about it? Have you heard from him yet? Fingers crossed for that ellusive second date..

And yes, poor George has been pounced on by me. He lives near!!! ( George, we aren't usually so scary)

hatesponge · 15/05/2012 09:51

watch I know it was a bit risky, and not normally something I would do but from stuff he had said (we spoke on the phone on Sunday for over an hour) I didn't think he would try anything on, and I was right he didnt (though part of me is now questioning whether he does like me as he didnt try anything!..). He left saying that he would see me on Weds, but I haven't heard anything from him since. Having said that his phone battery died when he was at mine, and as he is not working today and wouldnt have got home til 2, he is probably still in bed. Am going to try not to overthink it unless I haven't had a text by this afternoon.

SPsFanjoHarboursDeadCats · 15/05/2012 09:51

sponge Of corse I will be reporting back. He is letting me know today where we will be going. I'm really nervous. It has been a very long time since I have done anything like this.

TimeForMeAndDD · 15/05/2012 10:06

SP that's really lovely, I'm so pleased for you. Have a great date and we will look forward to your update Smile

Wow this thread does move fast doesn't it! Jesus.

SP don't be nervous. Which OS coming from she who runs round like s nut case when just friends messages to come over making sure the place is spotless rather than its normal pig stye state and does her hair about 3 times

actually welcome
sponge he probably is still in bed I have only been up half hour cos little man slept in.
betty he sounds like hard work and not worth it.

Well today I am cleaning my place up and walking. Belly must go but taking it easy I was violently sick last night, probably due to the rubbish with the ex. Glad you guys confirmed my decision. THANK YOU ALL FOR THAT!

SPsFanjoHarboursDeadCats · 15/05/2012 10:27

Would someone having many siblings put you off?

TimeForMeAndDD · 15/05/2012 10:37

George I've been thinking about what you told us upthread, that your doctor referred you to a counsellor for matters related to being single, then the counsellor referred you to relate. It all seems a bit extreme, even the doctor referring you to a counsellor, because you are single. It makes it sound as though there is something wrong with being single, something wrong with the person who is single. I don't like that. How did you feel about it? And did you have to pay for the counselling too?? Did anything positive come out of the counselling? Anything you can share.

MirandaWest · 15/05/2012 10:48

Am going to see one if my friends today (am staying nearish where I used to live). She is wanting full details on Mr Nice :)

He and I shared our google calendars last night. I now know when he gives blood. And the odd other detail. He has put my birthday in his calendar and it's not until September Shock. He remembers things too which I am finding quite impressive.

Sightly concerned I could be turning sentimental in my old age, but so is he :)

watchoutforthatsnail · 15/05/2012 10:48

Sponge, that sounds good, expect hes asleep and you will hear from him later :)

Sp, good luck and report back :) and no, siblings wouldn't put me off, why would it, not like It's something anyone has control over. I'm 1 of 4 myself :)
