apologies for title, I am bereft of ideas as the sodding times 'kindly' edited my profile for me. Angry

SP I said he was probably pissed off and that's why you hadnt heard. Glad he's contacted you now and that you hear further from him later :)

Snape how irritating is that site! Ridiculous that they monitor profiles so stringently Shock That would piss me off too and make me all the more determined to find a way round it!

I've had an interesting day. Found out from agents my house is worth - even completely finished - at least £50k less than I thought. However on the plus side it means i can definitely buy the Ex out Grin

Snapespeare · 18/05/2012 16:00

I will tweak my profile by adding or deleting an apostrophe every day for the next month or so, just to irritate them. cosidering replacing quite a lot of the text with [removed] [removed] [removed] just to gain a perceived upper hand.

I am now googling tactics. seriously irritated with them, not enough that I have to pay £32 to contact someone, they also want £32 from whoever
I contact to be able to send me details of how to talk to them. bastards!!!

sponge do you think your ex will take teh agents word for it - I read somewhere that low valuations are good just now,. before summer as these things do seasonally fluctauate etc.

hatesponge · 18/05/2012 16:12

It'd really shocking! Clearly all your £32 a month is spent on people relentlessly checking profiles for breaches of the rules!

I don't think the Ex will accept it willingly. However both agents have given exactly the same valuation. The mediator has told us each to get 1-2 valuations and that the usual course is to take an average. He won't like it (He thinks house is worth £70k more than the best valuation I've had today) but if either or both of his come back with similar figures, he'll have to lump it Grin

hatesponge · 18/05/2012 16:16

Also I've just had a mailshot email for this am tempted to go...

watchoutforthatsnail · 18/05/2012 16:22

Sponge. Go!!!!!!!
Good news about the house too :)

Snape. That is quite unbelievable really, isn't it.

So, he said for me to look on his fb, he had sent me bad pics because he thought it was funny. And if I still felt the sane way it was ok.
He looks ok. Normal and not weird. So I might go

louderthanbombs · 18/05/2012 16:24

Watch that's what happened to me earlier in the week. I felt horrible at the time too, but you can't meet someone you are totally unattracted to. I'm really not a shallow person, but it made me feel that way, because I was basically rejecting him because of how he looked.

It was his fault though, I was actually shocked and felt a bit sick when I saw his picture. I'm just so pleased that I asked for another one, I dread to think how I would have felt if I'd actually met him.

louderthanbombs · 18/05/2012 16:28

X post. It's not really that funny is it. It sounds like a lovely date tomorrow, so might be worth it.

Snapespeare · 18/05/2012 16:34

watch you ditherer! toss a coin! :)

OP posts:
watchoutforthatsnail · 18/05/2012 16:40

Louder. I know, It's not Funny at all!! And his fb pics look Toyally different again and are mostly of him playing in his band. And yoyr right, makes you feel awful.

Snape, I had decided :)
Im just not sure now.

Plus I feel like crap, full of cold. So after nearly passing out in lidl ( oh the glamour) I'm going to bed and missing this evening. Again :(

SPsFanjoHarboursDeadCats · 18/05/2012 16:41

sponge you should go

hatesponge · 18/05/2012 16:44

I have just bought a ticket Grin

Snapespeare · 18/05/2012 16:50

good for you sponge! Hope there are plenty of men trying to put their 'key' in your 'lock'.

yes, that is a euphamism.

OP posts:
watchoutforthatsnail · 18/05/2012 16:51

Yay!!!!!!

You know this is going to work and you will meet a ton of men and we will all be insanely jealous. Yes?

ChaoticismyLife · 18/05/2012 17:50

Great thread title Grin watch what a plonker. You have to make the decision that's right for you but do you really want to date an immature idiot? snape there's got to be a way to beat those wankers. Hmm phone dictionary didn't have wankers in...tuts Grin

watchoutforthatsnail · 18/05/2012 17:54

You are right.
And I'm ill anyway.
I'm.not going.

watchoutforthatsnail · 18/05/2012 18:39

I have just asked out another man..who actually has times approval.

:)

watchoutforthatsnail · 18/05/2012 18:59

And ywk just Fucking Text me ' I wish you had seen me last Friday'

Seriously.
Why is he so.persistent?

( or do you think just dumbfounded that I didn't see him and have ignored him'

TimeForMeAndDD · 18/05/2012 19:02

Grin Yes, he has my approval.

Ignore twat YKW! Ignore, ignore, ignore.

watchoutforthatsnail · 18/05/2012 19:04

I am ignoring him :)
But it bugs me. Why doesn't he just leave it? Anyone normal would leave it, wouldnt they?

Tomorrows all cancelled. I'm a free woman :)

TimeForMeAndDD · 18/05/2012 19:24

Cos, he thinks he is special. He thinks he is entitled. But you are showing him he isn't Smile

Yay! for tomorrow!

watchoutforthatsnail · 18/05/2012 19:29

Which is Why he won't leave me alone. His brain can't comute the possibility that he can't get what he wants..

It's just hard. Because I dont know at what point hes going to get the message. I'm not made of stone. Despite sometimes argumentative posts ( usually deservadly aimed at those being mean, rude or nasty) I am nice, and caring. And don't like having to be firm or mean :(

ChaoticismyLife · 18/05/2012 19:43

Stay strong and post on here when you need to. We'll keep your resolve strong.

TimeForMeAndDD · 18/05/2012 19:51

I know, it is difficult. But if you don't stick to your guns there will be only one person who gets hurt, and it won't be him. He is already showing you the kind of man he is by not respecting your boundaries. In this case you are being nice and caring towards yourself!

watchoutforthatsnail · 18/05/2012 19:58

I know, I know....
He's just ramping up the emotional stuff
:(

In other news he said yes. Somethihg on Tuesday...

TimeForMeAndDD · 18/05/2012 20:05

Hurray!!! That's brilliant! Smile

As for the other one, he knows exactly what to say to get to you, be strong.
