I'll help thinking about a verse too :) Am Very Bored. Marking is getting so nearly done so I am naturally pissing about on the internet more Hmm. Am pretty sure I can finish it tomorrow so not working hard enough now.

Am glad you have a nice pink bubble too watch :)

snape I do admittedly like Richard Curtis films Blush but I think an evening of Love Actually and Notting Hill might even finish me off Grin

MyLittleMiracles · 13/07/2012 12:51

I agree, think we all need some male attention from time to time, dont we, though if needs must i would rather go without than be with someone who is wrong for me.

CharlieUniformNovemberTango · 13/07/2012 13:01

What sites do you all use? I'm just on pof cos I'm tight as a starting place.

I've got a date :) a week Saturday for coffee in the day. He was very funny and that always ticks the biggest box with me.

Actually panicked now!

Do you tend to chat to the guys for a while and then meet or just jump straight into a date? I think I can chat and chat but I'd need to meet to really decided iyswim?

MirandaWest · 13/07/2012 13:01

I am finding my problem is that the more I have sex the more I want it. Have had a lot more sex in the past three months than past three years at least I should think. And better quality too Smile

HAVE TO WORK FOR THE NEXT TWO HOURS. If I appear on here can someone (politely) tell me to stop faffing around? Thank you :)

MirandaWest · 13/07/2012 13:02

I used OKCupid also being a tight person :)

CharlieUniformNovemberTango · 13/07/2012 13:03

Oh and it's been counts on fingers 4 years. 4 bloody years! I'm pretty much finding some endearing quality in most blokes within grabbing distance!

Midwife99 · 13/07/2012 13:13

Snape I hear what you're saying on all counts!

MyLittleMiracles · 13/07/2012 13:26

Erm feeling a little guilty now, its been since monday for me,, and yep the mre you get, the more you want, errr my male bestie, he knows every time he has got me, like i know any time i want i have got him, why the hell arent we together? We get along great, he worships my little man, he adores me and me him? GRRR, it sounds perfect on paper doesnt it??

watchoutforthatsnail · 13/07/2012 13:38

MLM didnt you have a date on monday as well? and where has this ' male bestie' come from, you have mentioned him once at all before.

Miranda - i second loving the amount of sex. I wanted it a lot anyway having the libido of a teenage boy so its actually bloody nice to be able to have as much as i want. regulary.

Charlie - hurrah for the date :) its best not to talk too long, else you tend to build up a picture which might not be true to them at all, then you are sorely disappointed when it all goes wrong. Also, the more you talk, the more you can start thinking you are heading for a relationship and then you turn up and hes got a ginger mullet or no teeth or sounds like a chipmunk. Talk for about 2 weeks, quick coffee date, in and out :)

My male bestie aka former friend with benefits, was waiting on my door step when i got back and well things that shouldn't have happened. We are close and there is this sexual thing there, BUT, i dunno.He started it and well, grrr, he knows i cant resist, but equally i know he cant either, i want someone who can or will commit at least a bit.

watchoutforthatsnail · 13/07/2012 13:52

oh, i see, so the one who was with his gf because he didnt see you that way and didnt want a relationship - and then prompty found himself a gf, then decided he loved you, just turned up on your doorstep, post date with someone else, to which your friends had organised the date, and then they were looking after your child, so you extended the childcare??? and shagged him, because even though he has a gf he had waited on your doorstep Confused
right.
Hmm

MyLittleMiracles · 13/07/2012 14:02

He told me they had broke up, i know, stupid stupid stupid, dont even go there, i wouldnt have normally, suppose i was i dont know STUPID. I do like him, but honestly i dont think HE knows how he feels right now. Grrr, he and his girlfriend are split so it doesnt feel quite so bad, and i dont plan on seeing mondays date again. Still feel like utter shite a little guilty about it, on the upside at least its someone i know and not a one nighter,

MyLittleMiracles · 13/07/2012 14:05

PLEASE PLEASE DONT BURN ME IN HELL!!!

PLEASE. At least i wasnt sleeping with someone who was taken. unlike maybe just friends, though he told me he was getting a divorce, so if he was still with his wife, i dont see that as being my fault

watchoutforthatsnail · 13/07/2012 14:07

you do realise you were just used dont you?

OP posts:
watchoutforthatsnail · 13/07/2012 14:08

im not going to - its up to you. But clearly you really want a relationship but yoiu keep letting men like these dickwads use you for sex, then you wonder why they dont want to stay with you.

But i know we have all said this before, and its like banging my head aganist a wall, so ill leave it there.

OP posts:
MyLittleMiracles · 13/07/2012 14:10

To be fair, i was seeing him for about a month, so at least it wasnt just the once, i think i need to step back a bit and wait for someone to chase me, want a relationship and jus enjoy spending time with me, for a while, before anything else happens.

MyLittleMiracles · 13/07/2012 14:19

And by spending time i mean taking me out for something to eat , a movie, walks in the park to just chat and maybe a hug, get to know e, understand me and actually care about me, though i think my former FWB does care about me, he is just so messed up from his last relationship, every time anyone gets close he runs a mile, dont think he means to do it, but he does, everytime. I was trying not to see him for a while, til he got himself sorted out, it wont be happening again.

Tuesdays date was probably the best actually, just chatting etc, talking, walked to the bus stop, and hugged before i got on the bus, no pushyness or anything too sexual, if you know what i mean and we still message each other too.

Lueji · 13/07/2012 14:48

Reporting back.

Mr Virtual is now officially Mr Very Nice. Grin

He is good looking enough. And good company. Relaxed, etc.
We had a sort of quick peck on goodbye (I think he wanted one when we met, but I wasn't sure about it), although I would be happy with more.
But he is really nice and my kind of taking time.

He sort of invited me to go to dinner with his friends tomorrow. Smile Sadly I can't.
He drove me back to my work, and made plans to ring tonight and meet after work next week.
Then he stayed in the car as I left and we waved goodbye when I turned back about 10 m away. Sort of Love, Actually style. Wink

All, and all, I'm quite happy.

(possibly except his colour coordination in getting dressed)

MirandaWest · 13/07/2012 14:53

Ooh Lueji that sounds a very good lunch :)

I am glad Mr Virtual is Mr Very Nice Grin

(I have marked some more exam papers. Nearly time to get DC from school)

TimeForMeAndDD · 13/07/2012 15:06

Snape I feel I must share with you that I am no longer on the sofa. As of an hour ago I have an OKCupid profile watch is very persuasive I too have found myself staring longingly at trouser departments and wanting a bit of what watch is getting, and as those who have had success seem to have had it with Cupid, it's got my business. Come and join me Snape, get your bum off the sofa and give it a whirl! Smile

Hi to everyone else and welcome to the new peeps Smile

snapespeare · 13/07/2012 15:27

i like my sofa.

snapespeare · 13/07/2012 15:30

pffft. i've restored my account for a week. now to start blocking people. :)

snapespeare · 13/07/2012 15:33

god! I'd forgotten, my profile is fucking amazing! they've got a week.

CharlieUniformNovemberTango · 13/07/2012 15:48

Ha time! We must have been simultaneously setting up okcupid accounts :) I'd never heard of it before today. I answered like a million questions before I realised it was a choice thing and I could stop! I kept waiting for the next step :)

It's not as idiot proof user friendly as pof but it seemed good. Much more involved :)

watchoutforthatsnail · 13/07/2012 15:51

I feel it in my fingers, I feel it in my toes, love is all around me < heartfelt fist clutched to chest> and so the feeling grows < twirls>

Yes, fab, Hurrah for the sofa surfers, we just need chaotic to take the plunge too.

:)

Snape, of course yiur Profile is fab, because you are fab!!!

And time, yay. But dont blame me for any potatoes that come your way.

Lueji- excellent!!!!
