Morning :)

Top count yourself as having had a lucky escape. Bin him and move on, you really are better off without this idiot in your life.

sponge have a great party.

watch great news about Tuesday.

Wrt men disappearing and deleting profiles...it probably means they're married/in a relationship and have either got cold feet or been found out by their wife/partner.

Ok. I caved and responded to ywk. We had a blazing row. Huge. Massive.

This morning he texts. To make sure I'm still responding ( quite insecure) tells me he will do whatever I want, visit, move. Whatever.

And he wants to sort it, he will visit when I say...I start arguing again. Then tell him I'm sick of arguing. Its not fun abd I'm tired if it. It's just a ball of resentment and blame on both our halfs

He asks if I want to sort it.
I say I have no idea how or even if I want to
He appolgised for everything, I suggest starting again.

And that's where we are at.

Girlies. Guess who (panic) has a date today. Only just got it sorted and in town atm. Rush to get sorted. Yay. Mate is coming over to baby sit.....house a mess, was going to clean it this afternoon! Plans change.

MyLittleMiracles · 19/05/2012 11:44

watch I can only say be careful. None of us want you getting hurt. Says she about to text just friends.

I know sometimes in life you have to follow your heart. It sounds like part of you goes no no no, but then this other part is saying but .........

I am going to follow my heart.

watchoutforthatsnail · 19/05/2012 11:59

I've not agreed to anything. or promised anything. Hes not asked.
A line has been drawn.
( we have spent a year going round in circles of blame and anger and mistrust and hurt. On his behalf too. Not just mine)

It's just talking.
Hint of him being an arse and Im done.

MyLittleMiracles · 19/05/2012 12:39

Good girl. Keep your head. 3oclock date for me. Nervous very excited a little. Mad a lot!

noluck · 19/05/2012 13:45

well, I did send him a message, saying that I wasn't exactly expecting anything from him....and he replied that at least we were on the same wavelength. Thing is, he is really nice. I feel so stupid.

MyLittleMiracles · 19/05/2012 16:30

My date went really well. ;) Grin but a little tempted to text just friends. I have given me ten minutes to decide. Convince me not to!

MyLittleMiracles · 19/05/2012 16:54

I Texted........await reply if any. So sit back and chill.... In the meantime enjoy texting a friend.

SPsFanjoHarboursDeadCats · 19/05/2012 16:55

MyLittleMiracles · 19/05/2012 17:00

He was really lovely. Gave me complete respect. Will be seeing him again. No reply from just friends.......oh well. Might have liked him BUT I am moving on.

notsurewhyohwhy · 19/05/2012 17:13

Hi everyone can't believe we are on a new thread already!!

Top sorry to hear that this guy is such a arse, it's not a bad thing that you don't want to play games! I think most of the guys on the dating sites are very strange!!

Mr tall is way too full on! I told him this then e started saying things like ok. I won't talk like that etc and I then felt like he was trying to make me feel sorry for him Hmm I don't know if I will see him again he seems too needy!!! But the sex had potential!

I saw fwb last night and I might see him again tonight too Smile

It's my birthday on Wednesday and I'm going to be 27! So I'm going out for a meal and drinks tonight with my girl mates! And my lovely best friend has booked theatre tickets to a show that I have wanted see for about 2-3 years and in all that time none of the guys I dated bothered to take me!!

Who says we need men when we have real friends Smile

notsurewhyohwhy · 19/05/2012 17:14

Sponge I hope your part goes amazingly well Smile

MyLittleMiracles · 19/05/2012 17:15

True, maybe that's why I will never get married cos basically I want my best friend in male form.

notsurewhyohwhy · 19/05/2012 17:15

Mlm - glad to hear you are moving on, just friends loss not yours

MyLittleMiracles · 19/05/2012 17:17

I know, this girl is strong and determined.

watchoutforthatsnail · 19/05/2012 17:29

MLM. Glad you had a good date. You kinda knew just friends wasn't going to reply.

Have been talking with ywk since 9:30. I told him I needed some Time to think. And he just Text me : I believe we need each other and nothing changes that And if you didnt see that id have to make you.

Thats just not right. Is it.
Obviously shouldn't have re engaged
:(
Now I have to go through it all again :(

MyLittleMiracles · 19/05/2012 17:38

He thinks you need him, you don't and that is not a good basis for any kind of relationship.

No reply from just friends, but yeah sorta knew he wouldn't be bothered with me.

MirandaWest · 19/05/2012 18:07
