Dating thread 15! cock-cages, hopeful pensioners the occasional glorious success!

[Snapespeare]

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

He will be panicking, his girlfriend is offski and his fanclub has diminished. Up until now you have been his constant fall back girl. You've moved the goal posts and so that's sent him into overdrive. He will calm down when he realises you mean what you say.

No, it shouldn't have to be that way, it's sad but unfortunately it has to be.

Yeah. You are right.

They don't like it when you move the goal posts, do they.

My ex husband was furious when I left him. Not because of the break up of the marriage, but more that I, who until then had taken everything he threw at me, kicked him out. He thought I'd always be there. He was wrong.

Ywk is no different.

Just friends is in contact. Need I say more. Think my ex only wants ne back to "win" not happening. 6months of being strong isn't going to waste.

That's right Watch, my ex was just the same. I once asked him if he thought I would take everything he threw at me, forever. His reply was yes, because he thought I loved him too much to ever leave. He didn't love me, it was all about my love for him.

Hellooo! Helloo! (jumps up and down). I have been lurking for ages....but now I have half-filled in my profile and stuck a photo up on OK Cupid I feel qualified to ask if I can join you....? (I was previously on GSM for 3 months but there were no- repeat no men in my area at all!)

My heart sank when I had a good look at all the profiles yesterday though.....oh dearie dearie me. I really don't think I'm a looks fascist, but I have never seen such a bunch of maladjusted trolls.

watch I agree with time my ex expected me to go back cos I had before. I think he still expects me too. My bestie said he was my first and that to a degree I will always feel for him, but pity isn't a relationship.

Hi Stubborn and welcome to the madness that is Internet Dating

Sorry hi stubborn try POF its even better than okcupid.
You are then very qualified to join.

Hello stubborn :) welcome to the fun of the thread :)

at maladjusted trolls.

Hi, stubborn and welcome.

in my area stubborn, there were only about 10 guys on okcupid. and those I recognised from POF anyway.

got a date weds eve, he also has a ds so is happy to work around when ever i can be free and another possibly next weekend with a guy I've been talking to for over a week. but he works away during week and only home at weekends at moment till the project his working on is finished.

excited again... hope thu turnout to be nutters like the last one..

I like maladjusted trolls. Should form part of next thread title

Well, party has been and gone. I'd like to say it went well, but that would be a lie. Most of the people invited didnt turn up, about 20 bailing on the day of the party itself. Half the others didn't reply at all, including 3 people from my own team at work! Clearly I'm a lot less popular than I thought . To add to that, quite a few of those who came didn't even give me a present (which I thought was somewhat rude). Oh and possibly the highlight of the day was being told by my lazy friends, who came to my house and did about an hours work on Saturday and then sat round having a chat whilst I rushed about like a bluearsed fly, that I am a selfish ungrateful bitch for not prostrating myself in front of them and being sooooo thankful for the tiny little bit of help they gave me. So that's 30 odd years friendship down the toilet. Of course it didnt stop them coming to the party later and stuffing themselves with my food and drink.

Oh and the DSs friends trashed DS1s room and have hidden/lost/stolen loads of his stuff, so he has been in tears all afternoon (as he still cant find any of it) :(

But other than that it was a great night....

sponge.

dont know what to say, just seems so sucky. :(.

Sponge I second Snapes .

I think you need some new friends!!

To be fair my local friends who came were lovely (mostly - ignoring the slight lack of presents...) as were the ones from work who turned up, 2 of who live miles and miles away. But having invited 20 of my extended family, am disappointed none came (I had apologies from a third of those) and not even a card from any of them!

As for my other friends, well put it this way, I have done my last helping them. And considering I did far more for them than they ever do for me, it's not really my loss!

whom not who!

On a positive note, you are now 40! And life officially starts at 40!!

oh and one lovely thing (apart from everyone saying how lovely my house is looking :) ) my friends DD (who is also one of DS2's friends) made me 20-dd fairy cakes, all by herself, which she iced with letters spelling out Happy 40th birthday , because I'd been saying to her mum I didn't have time to make a cake, and it seemed a bit sad making your own cake!

So it wasn't all bad. Just not really the night I'd hoped for...

Oh, sponge

Another one who thinks you need some new friends.

Awww, now that's sweet

That was sweet. I don't do parties for me. I have never really. Not even had a house warming yet. Don't think I can be bothered either.

Sorry about your party sponge :(

But :) for your fairy cakes and also :) for people liking how your house is looking :)

I have never done big parties ever. Suppose last big one was getting married 13 years ago. We did consider a 10 year wedding anniversary party but tbh probably good that didn't happen .

I want to go interailing when I'm 40. Three and a bit years to go :)

Sponge, cakes sound lovely. Sorry about the rest :( people are crap sometimes.
But you made an effort, did the house and organised it all by yourself. Therefore you are awesome. Fuck anyone who was rude, or who didn't let you know they were coming.
Can you call the parent of the child that trashed the joint and find out where he put the stuff ( and demand he comes back to clear it up)

I've had a fab birthday afternoon at my sisters, stuffed full of cake and now intend to roll my stuffed body round some hills to wallk the dog.

Haven't heard anymore from ywk :)

Hi all, just popping my head round the door to keep you all up to date (I'm sure you're all thrilled). So Head Teacher, came back to me again asking if I'd abandoned him. I told him no not abandoned him, then didn't hear from him again :) Anyway, I now have a cute thirty something professing his blinding need to meet and kiss me. It's really very entertaining but I do think there must be something wrong with him. It's a shame he lives 100 miles up the motorway. I may just take him up on his offer - I'll keep you posted (try not to get too excited)

OMG - he wants to meet me!!!! I haven't been on a date for over 3 years. I won't know what to do!!!!
