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!!!!

I am currently having a conversation with a 24 year old muslim chap about tudor cuisine.

Hmm
snapespeare · 13/07/2012 16:44

ahh, it's ok. he's rapidly managed to steer the conversation around to swinging.

I can only hide my profile again after a week. time

hatesponge · 13/07/2012 17:01

quick update from me before I go and dress DS2 up in a suit for his leavers party/prom thingy:

Nothing from the ill one. Might drop him a text later to see how he is....

Meanwhile have a another provisional lunch date for coffee with the one from my home town. That's as well as the rugby one who I'm also seeing next week when he's back from Spain, and now have another (stupidly tall) one who Ive just had a 30 minute chat with (& who makes me laugh lots), who has already hinted at a date but nothing arranged yet.

But of course I'd rather have the ill one than any of them Blush.

Midwife99 · 13/07/2012 17:04

Lueji how lovely! EnvyEnvyEnvyEnvyGrin

MirandaWest · 13/07/2012 18:31

I have got rid of my DC.

So I am home alone (apart from DCat) and am about to....

......mark frigging exam papers. Only 33 to go.....I can do it......I can do it.....

Think I possibly might deal with my pubes as well later on as they are attempting to grow down my legs and although Mr Nice is I think truthfully not bothered, I am a little bit Grin

TimeForMeAndDD · 13/07/2012 18:49

Grin Snape My profile must be fucking dire cos I've not had one single message yet!! Not even a potato!! I am going to work on it over the weekend. I will get a shag man, I just will!!

Charlie yes, the questions are optional but they do lead you to like minded men with whom you are supposed to have lots in common with. Hmm Grin Now, my theory is all the intelligent men like Cupid because it's a bit more challenging than POF, there's a bit more to it. So it's more your Jersey Royal kind of site rather than the common white potato. I'm sticking with Cupid for a while. I developed an allergy to POF.

Lueji that's lovely! Smile

Sponge Have you text him? Is he better yet? Sounds like you have plenty to keep you going anyway! Grin

Lueji · 13/07/2012 19:25

I obviously need to get to know him better.

But, atm, I am walking with a smile on my face. :)
And he does seem genuine.

And totally different from ex. Talkative, but able to listen, and with self deprecating humour. Getting in contact, but giving space.

Lueji · 13/07/2012 19:31

Sponge, I would have thought that Mr Tonsilitis would be fit enough to date by now. Hmm

Have you contacted him? Maybe you should hint that if he's not interested that's fine. Wink

Good luck with the others, maybe they turn out to be better than Mr Man Flu.

MyLittleMiracles · 13/07/2012 20:01

I will be walking around tomorrow with a great big smile, but not men related, I will be proud of me for finally completing my living room and conservatory. Yay.

watchoutforthatsnail · 13/07/2012 20:21

Leuji, sounds really nice :) your allowed to be all excited, Its exciting!!!!! :)

Time, I hardky got any messages on okc. And there were less than 20 men in my area in my age range. Mrl is outside of my age range by a year :)

Sponge, those dates sound great :) I.wouldn't Text mr ill anymore, he knows where you are... And its been over a week since he got ill, so really should be better by now.

SerendipitousHarlot · 13/07/2012 20:31

I agree with watch. He needs to man up and chase you now.

izzyizin · 13/07/2012 20:33

As watch has said, Mr Ill knows where you are sponge and you're best advised to write him off let it be a pleasant suprise if he contacts you again.

I suspect that if you'd lurked outside his home when he told you he had tonsilitis, you'd have discovered that he's married fit as a fiddle.

TimeForMeAndDD · 13/07/2012 20:34

I am waiting patiently watch Smile

Sponge I agree with watch.

SPsFanjoLovesChanningTatum · 13/07/2012 20:35

I'm back!

Men are arseholes! The man I met in RL turned out to have a partner!

Think I'm going to give up.

MirandaWest · 13/07/2012 20:50

I have 25 more exam papers to mark. And have to do report on how the ones I marked did. I have marked over 95% of them.

House is a tip. DCat is annoyng me by scratching. Am in need of gin I think. Will buy some tomorrow :)

AndLibbyMakesThree · 13/07/2012 20:51

Time, like you I've decided to leave the comfort of my sofa for a while and enter the world of internet dating again. I'm on Match and am chatting to three men, one of whom sounds quite promising. I've realised it's been over a year since I even kissed anyone!

Lueji - sounds great!

SP - oh no. How did you find out?

Watch, your story gives me hope. You have a boyfriend!!!

SPsFanjoLovesChanningTatum · 13/07/2012 21:01

Facebook! He added me on it after we met and then a few week later pictures were been added of him kissing her with the date underneath as 4 month ago!

I text him and strangely enough didn't get a reply so deleted his number and him off facebook

watchoutforthatsnail · 13/07/2012 21:02

I know, I do, I have a boyfriend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:) :) :)

3 years of dating, 60+ dates and finally I have a boyfriend. Hurrah for small miracles!!!!!

Libby dating too.... :)

I hope to.see a ton of dates and sex happening soon!!!!

Sp- what happened???

Miranda, sounds like you deserve the gin. I've had to bring work home this weekebd, quite when I'm.going to do it I don't know, but it has to be done for Monday morning :(

And I'm.spending tomorrow afternoon through to Sunday afternoon with mrl. :)

TimeForMeAndDD · 13/07/2012 21:15

Come on Miranda, you can do it! It does seem to be taking you longer to get through the final few than it did the first 400 Grin

libbyIt's been a lot longer than a year since I had a snog, more than 3 years in fact, and even then they were nothing to write home about, cats arse kisses never are.

I hope to have see a ton of sex soon too watch. It's been a long, long, long time.

Fanjo I'm sorry he turned out to be a twat. Don't let it put you off or set you back, he isn't worth it, he really isn't.

MLM What is the course you are starting in September? Have you been accepted for it? Is it a definite?

Lueji · 13/07/2012 21:20

SP, you are well rid.
Clearly not clever enough for you.

Adding you to FB when he had a partner?

PS - I'm half expecting Mr VN to have a wife on holiday or something. I blame MN.

SPsFanjoLovesChanningTatum · 13/07/2012 21:24

lue that's what I thought. I've had a similar experience like that before. A hidden family in fact!

MyLittleMiracles · 13/07/2012 22:55

I haven't heard anything back, but its law I want to study.

I am sad. I didn't manage to finish it tonight. I run out of bloody colour. Grr, still twenty minutes tomorrow night and it will be done. Then its project clean up. I am trying to make notes from some law books to get ahead. Lol

I am suspicious from now on. I think my male bestie is worried that if I find someone else he will "lose" me, so tries to keep me.

SerendipitousHarlot · 13/07/2012 22:56

What that actually means is, he's not interested in you until you're with someone else Hmm He likes keeping you in the pending tray.

MyLittleMiracles · 14/07/2012 00:05

I had that moment tonight. He wants me there if things don't work out as a back up plan, I deserve more than that, I want someone who loves and worships me, who when they look at me they don't see the imperfections, the scar, the mascara that has run otlr the smudged eye liner, but the girl that lies underneath that. When a word is enough for them to know how you feel, and the other words need not be said. When a nod and they know just how you feel. When I want to talk to sit and listen about what I went through and when I don't, to accept that to. To wake up next to, to watch films with, to snuggle but nothing sexual, just all the intimacy.
