Chastity belts at the ready...

Extra strong padlocks required...

Come out with me milk you can then say but my friend here is only 23 and hopefully they are fit. Could do with the confidence boost. I seem to be attracting either people out of my league ie Mr success, ambitious people as in tight, career motivated sex addicts or those who are suitable but out the country. I found myself a perfect guy, gorgeous, tanned, toned, chatting, 23 all but perfect til he says anyway how comes you accepted a contact request from someone in AUSTRALIA but we still chat anyways. I mean he sent a contact request to someone ib England.

Hello. It is a little late I fear :)

Went and ate chilli and saw film (v good and only had to turn away occasionally and did some tears (v discreetly) once. Then due to presence of teenaged DS of Mr Nice we drove nearly back to his house and paused for a little kissing :) Only problem was this somehow ran battery flat. Then walked back to his house to get my car and jump leads. Tried to jump start car and wouldn't work. So breakdown people called and we drove back again in my car and I said I'd wait until they called when nearer and take him back. So a little more missing On the sofa. They called and he said "my girlfriend will drop me back" and went on about car insurance until I shut him up and interrogated him on the girlfriend reference,

So I appear to now have a boyfriend .

Am back in my own bed now, with a nice happy feeling :)

Ah Miranda. Some comments can make your heart soar and then plummet just as quickly! A year or so ago I was seeing "Post Office lady". We'd been trotting along nicely for about a month. Seriously, she did have a few little issues but I was as happy as a frog in a sock the way things were going and I still miss the great sex and good conversations and stuff we did together her. Her car was playing up and had a strong petrol smell inside so I suggested she talk to her mechanic. She rang him immediately. He must have asked who had told her about the smell and lean running, and she smiled and winked at me and said with a big smile "My partner was worried about the car and said I should ring you." I'm thinking 'Cool! I'm her "partner" now! Things are good!' When she got off the phone I said 'So I'm your "partner" now'. She laughed and said "Well I could hardly say you were some bloke I'd been rooting for a few weeks could I" and carried on obliviously.

I want to be someone's girl friend or for them to be seeing me, but I can wait for that. Glad you had a nice evening miranda shame about the car breaking down though. But enjoying each others company is always good.

loving the pof links. :) slightly uncomfortabble at poking fun at the potatoes. even potatoes need love! (just not mine!)

bloody PM has asked if I am going on a date on Saturday as I cant see him (seeing him tonight instead..) It is normal for platonic male friends to have an interest in ones non existant sex life, yes? I replied 'yes. Johnny depp' ( i did actually have a fwb arrangemnet in my distant past with a guy me and my friends refered to as 'Johnny Depp'. He. was. gorgeous.)

Miranda that actually sounds like hell (aside from the chilli) still, a great story to tell your grandchildren!

milk is absolutely right about the mean things to get you talking being a pig-tail pulling equivilent. I don't like mean people. It's a desperate first contact and sets a horrible tome for any potenntiial relationship. sadly, some women might bite if they have been used to these dynamics in their previous relationships. He's a bully and looking for someone to bully. your hair sounds fab. tedious little man!

who is on dates tonight then? :)

I am a little tired. But still happy so good :) And although the car breaking down thing sounds bad it was actually very funny

I'm glad you see the positive in it - I'm exhausted at the moment, so any circumstances I would normally take in my stride would tip me over the edge into tears! :)

I think only the fact that today I'm not working and so am actually only recently woken up means I am fine. If I had been working I'd have possibly provided my car for jump starting processes and then would have gone back home again, as I value my sleep a bit much

sponge - so glad to hear that your lovely door man can fix the loo and at a sensible price too.
Miranda - what a night! LOL, that you are a stealth girlfriend - snuck in under the cover of a broken down car.
Milk - life coach sounds like he needs some coaching himself!

milk - and they charged you £10 for that rubbish? wow, you could have just started a thread like sponge and got that awful advice for free :)

Miranda :) :) :)

snape - i wouldnt have thought so......

im ringing match to try to cancel this morning, t&C's say about 7 day policy so i hope i can get my money back. Its not good on there, quite why i thought it woiuld be, i dont know.

And instead im putting into action ' operation make single friends' and am off to a pub tonight!!! there is a fb group for my area of people that do stuff, lots of activites a month.. and its free to join, unlike citysocalising and meetup. In the hope i can broaden my non exisistant single friends social circle ( i have friends, they are all married) and get out and about and maybe meet some rl men. There is a slight downside to this plan, two of the men going this evening have been rebuffed by me on POF. eeeekkkk, any tips on how to handle it? I was going to go with the ' pretend it never happened' approach.

bugger, fuckers wouldnt cancel it as i have recieved and read ONE email.
cancelled the next months renewal. and so im stuck on it for the next month.
:(

Yep just pretend you don't remember them and hope they genuinely don't you. Best course of action imo.

I am talking to a tattoo god. Mmmmm mmmmm yep I like a tattoo or two on my men. Muscular tattooed kind sweet gentle that's what I like.

milk lifestyle coach sounds like he's stuck in the 50s.

Miranda at girlfriend story.

Time I opened that last link and thought his username was weirdo

also, the number of men, on match. Who are in the 30-38 age bracket who are stipulating ' no children, lives on her own/ with roomates/with parents, must be athletic or slender and toned'

then half of them have stipulated hair colour and lenght, and wage she should earn...
REALLY!!! come on, seriously, what % of women in that age group are going to fit all those catergories?

I mean, there is knowing what you want, and then being so closed minded its going to be impossible to find somone. I know we all have our ideals, i have my ideal as well, i also know its not likely im going to find someone that fits that, but that whenit comes down to it, hair lenght doesnt matter and is certainly not a reason i wouldnt date someone.

AND i got messaged by a 56 year old man on pof this morning. he told me i looked hot and i should reply. i did reply with ' ARE YOU SHITTING ME!!' which was a little rude, granted, but thats 23 years older than me for goodness sake!

watch that's just typical, they'll use anything to avoid refunds etc. I joined once when I first started OD and noticed that with the 6 month thingy you had to contact x people iirc to get the next 6 months free.

at 'ARE YOU SHITTING ME!!' sorry but that made me laugh

oh - and while im ranting, do you want to know what that ONE email i read was? The one email that has stopped me getting my £30 refund?

It was from a man, also on POF. Saying hi, asking if i liked shopping and women.
I did not reply, shall i tell you why? ill tell you why...
Because on POF his profile pics are him dressed up in womens clothes!! and hes looking for someone to shop with and help him with all that stuff.

So to all the people who say paid sites are a better class of man, and men on them are more serious about finding a relationship - i rest my case!!!!

AND FUCK ARSE AND SHIT

ywk has just text me to say hes on the train.

fucking fuck, fucking fuck. wjhy the fuck wont that man leave me a fucking lone.
fuck bollocks arse and shit.

what the actual fuck.

:(

shit.
help

what the shitting hell do i do now?

i should do nothing, yes?
Im at work, ive not spoken to him in about 10 days?? i didnt reply to his last text from sunday/ monday. it is not my fault hes coming all this way.

bugger.
gggrrrrrrr
:(

shit

shit - and now hes text me ' not that you seem to care, or want to see me, sadly :('

what the biggest pile of shit agoing.

i dont even know what to do.

You know to ignore his texts and calls watch stay strong you can get rid of him. Says she counting the days to the champions league final cos just friends comes back cos Chelsea play.

He is trying to guilt trip you, only you can make the final decision but you were so sure before that you wouldn't be seeing him.

i feel terrible.

its not my fault, is it.
someone tell me its not my fault.

i told him i didnt love him in that way, and vanished, he text me to tell me he had a train ticket for today, when the previous week i had agreed to see him if he came june half term when i was off nd DD was with her dad.
So- he ignored when i was free and then claimed not to have got my message.

We talked, i told him i was confused and that i did care for him but i didnt think i wanted to be with him. he tells me the gf is moving out in july because shes doing her masters, so hes free to see me. i make a sarky comment about it being nice to be the fall back girl, he digs back making a derogeraty comment about my marriage. i leave the conversation and have ignored all of his attemps since.

I get a text to say hes on the train with a smiley face and then one saying ' not that you seem to care or will even see me'

thats the train of events. its not my fault, is it?

Deep breaths Watch. You do not have to see him.

No, of course it is not your fault. He wants to play it all his way - don't feel pressured.
