The thread in which we all pray Johnny depp has signed up to POF - DATING THREAD 17!

[watchoutforthatsnail]

Here we go again....

sponge - I'd have thought he would let you know by now if he was going to cancel. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Have you texted him?

Let's hope he's just too busy getting things done for your date. :)

What time are you meant to be meeting, Sponge?

Sponge. It's still early. If he said he would let you know, I'm.sure he will. Unless of course hes a cock, in Which case you wouldn't want to waste your time on a second date with him..

I was thinking I woldn't hear from him at all & would have to write it off totally.

Anyway, eventually he text me about 6pm having just got back home. Said he still felt crap, so tonight is cancelled. Which I am a bit :( about but can't really be helped I guess.

it does sound like cant be helped is the appropriate phrase Sponge..have you re arranged?

Aww, I feel for you sponge and fuckit. Stuff like this knocks your confidence. No words of wisdom but just wanted to say that the guy I'm dating was (and still is to a point) right hard work! I was constantly second guessing and analysing things and the truth is we just have to trust our gut instincts because who knows what goes on in their heads. I'm 3 months in now and he still keeps me guessing and yet I know he's a fundamentally nice guy.

sorry girlies, i havent been on for a few days, I have been a lot little preoccupied. Life seems to be sorting itself out nicely. Though a previous friends on facebook started on about me going back to my ex because apparently he still loves me and thinks that our marriage can and will work and wants us together as a family. PLEASE PLEASE SECTION ME IF I EVER CONSIDERED IT FOR A SECOND!!!

I havent had much chance to catch up properly, but will read the thread over the weekend, if i get a chance to. This thread really does move so very fast at the moment! Its truly mad!! I have decided that my front room and conservatory needs redecorating so have started on that and get a couple of hours done, some nights after little man has gone to bed, cos sense tells me that paint and a toddler will not mix. I am looking forwards to seeing the final result though!!

My sister has been being a bitch apparently i am a germ carrier.....i must have given it to them GROW THE HELL UP Maybe dont go out in the rain with no coat on and you wouldnt get ill!! Sorry rant over. Had a few days of really nasty messages from her so have been ignoring her completely. Finally tonight i broke and texted her about 5 minutes ago to say not to text me at stupid o clock i am in the middle of decorating. Nothing back yet, Surprise surprise, thats all i wrote too, so it cant be said i was being nasty.

What do you think?

Mr Rose sent txt yesterday am, sending kisses, then rang while I was training early evening, so I called back about 10 min later, no answer and no call back.
Until way past midnight when I get a txt saying he misses me and he is online.
Aibu to tell him to sod off?

Hmm, I would give him the benefit of the doubt I think... Did he acknowledge the fact that you called him back?

I'd give him the benefit of the doubt too...could be his phone was on silent or something and he didnt see your missed call til much later?

My 2nd date has been rearranged to tomorrow (provided he's feeling better by then). Fingers crossed!

Sponge - thats really good news, so, you can relax now, because you know he does actually want to see yoiu again :)

lueji - hmmm, id more likely tell him to sod off, yes, fine - he might have been busy and not seen your call. But he could have text to say sorry he missed you call, and could he call, or would call you tomorrow or something, not basically said ' i miss you, get on the pc now' which is basically what hes saying.

No, Still.
Just what I wrote.
And no messages today or hint of meeting today, which we had said that we would arrange.

There was a missed call today at 12:30 and no message.

I am not at beck and call, no matter how busy he is, because I am too, although usually with flexible time. And he knows how to message.

Sorry, Sponge and Watch, I read your comments afterwards.

I just think it's odd. Surely some acknowledgement and mention of times for meeting at some point.

And I am not too bothered about him either. So, his loss. :)

And fingers crossed for tomorrow, Sponge.

Lueji is the missed call from 12.30 not a good sign despite the lack of message?

Mr Right-Now is not much better tbh. He text me this morning at 10am to ask what I was doing tonight. I text him back within the hour (I was busy) to say I wasn't free tonight but that I'd cancelled my plans for sat night due to the weather so I am free if he is. No reply. Nothing. That was over SEVEN hours ago! WTF! I know he's received the msg because I've got a delivery report (something I had to resort to due to his poor texting habits). I should be used to this by now. If I didn't know how different he is in person, this would be a red card offence!

Good sign that he wanted to meet, yes, but not of consideration on how to arrange it. And not after last Tuesday.

I did send a text mid afternoon saying I didn't have the phone with me and had just seen the missed message.

Truth is I thought it was for lunch, had just come out of a seminar, and was going for lunch then and was busy.

I have just had a message saying that it was to invite me for lunch, to which I replied that it was a shame, but that last minute things are always risky. He should get the message.

I am a Leo. Kitten when treated well, claws get out when I'm not.

Still, at least there is still time till Saturday night.

Sorry, I'm not familiar with last Tuesday - newbie to the thread.

You're right though, it comes down to consideration and there doesn't appear to be a lot of it about at the moment. :(

I'm going to text him later and ask him if he's going for a personal best on time taken to reply to a text! (I probably won't...)

:o
Maybe you should.

Last Tuesday I understood that we were meeting for lunch at about 1:30pm, missed usual lunch with colleagues and he called at 2pm saying he had just got out of a meeting. Only apologised when I told him that I had not had lunch either.

Anyway, I'm not getting a good feeling and he was not that attractive. So, either he shapes up or I'll just let go.

Meanwhile, the e-mails with Mr Lawrence have continued and we seem to be gelling well. Not holding my hopes up too much, but I am too busy atm anyway. It just feels nice and both slowly moving into more intimate territory, as I like it.

Ooh, looks count for a lot sadly. If Mr Right-Now wasn't so damn hot he'd never have made it this far based on his text etiquette alone. I've come to accept that he's like Jekyll and Hyde when it comes to his text v RL personality. If he'd been average looking though I'd have binned him off weeks ago because I'm a shallow cow

I just sent the "personal best" text. I don't give a shit. Thats my personality, if he doesn't like it he can jog on! (Though at times I think its not my personality that he's interested in...)

still any reply? I thought it was v funny guess how he responds will show how good a sense of humour he has...

I've not heard anything from the one I'm meant to be seeing tomorrow, but I must have adjusted to his sporadic texting cos I've barely checked my phone at all today :) Heard a bit more about Mr Jubilee today, apparently he has been pestering my friend (whose party it was) for my number but she has refused to pass it on! I wouldn't mind seeing him again although he is probably not even a right-now let alone a right there IS something about him .

Ha, yes sponge he said he was going for a PB! Kudos to him for not attempting a lame apology though, I kinda like his honesty! We then had a really confusing exchange about plans for tomorrow night in which we both got the wrong end of the stick about what each other is doing, but long story short, we are seeing each other tomorrow :)

It's amazing how quickly you adjust to sporadic contact, it still gets annoying at times (see above posts by me!) but for the most part I'm quite chilled about it now.

Tell your friend to let Mr Jubilee have your number - what have you got to lose? :o
