But you're not going to get that from him, do you see that? He just wants a shag. Bin him off, for fuck's sake.

watchoutforthatsnail · 14/07/2012 09:56

Ah, but he did wait on her doorstep for two hours
And
Told her he had strong feelings for her..

It's clearly love.
( fucks sake)

Mlm. Whatever. You need to work out what you want. If you do just want casual sex with a string of men, that's fine, there is no law saying that's not allowed, It's fine.

If you want a relationship with someone who values you you are going to have to stop dropping your knickers to any chancer that looks your way.

And then stop fawning over them because you have had sex with them, while they run a Mile in the oposite direction, with you chasing after them.

I am not speaking to him, might see Tuesday's date again seeing as he asked and although it was only a nice relaxing walk in the park, it was still nice, a hug

SerendipitousHarlot · 14/07/2012 11:32

Exactly what watch said. There is NOTHING wrong with a bit of casual sex - as long as everyone is on the same page, and you're safe, it's all good. God knows I've put it about a bit.... but you always have to know in the back of your mind that that's all it is, or you're on a hiding to nothing. If all you want is a hug, then that's all you give out!

MyLittleMiracles · 14/07/2012 11:36

Bye, and a kiss on the cheek, nothing more, but messages since etc, he seems nice. My former FWB is being left in the past. I only realised last night. I have been stupid and too trusting. I believe what I am told. Stupidly. I am so so stupid. My female bestie would have waited just as long admittedly in her car, cos sitting in the rain when you have a car would just be silly.

Maybe I am making all mistakes while young. Mr right will probably never happen. My Mr almost right might.

SerendipitousHarlot · 14/07/2012 11:44

But he's not your 'bestie'!!! HE JUST WANTS A FUCK!

izzyizin · 14/07/2012 11:48

Don't settle for Mr Almost Right, MLM; wait it out for Mr Absolutely Right - and he'll come along when you least expect him to.

If you study law you'll learn not to rush to believe what you're told and you'll form opinions after you've appraised yourself of all of the facts of the matter.

MyLittleMiracles · 14/07/2012 11:57

And to be fair when me and my former FWB were seeing each other, he did introduce me to the family etc. Then all of a sudden cut off...same as with his new girlfriend. Honestly I don't think he could have a relationship.

ChildofIsis · 14/07/2012 11:57

Hello All, just thought I'd let you know what's been happening for me.

I've been so busy with my 'new boyfriend' that I've hardly lurked on here for ages let alone posted.

We met on OKC and have been in constant contact for around 4 weeks.
He is cute and gorgeous and sexy and amazingly thinks the same about me.

We have stayed over with each other and have lots in common.
I can't quite believe it really, he is everything I have wished for and more.

watchoutforthatsnail · 14/07/2012 12:05

Mlm, why do you insist on calling these men, who are using you for sex ' besties'
And can we stop using that word, it makes me cringe.
None of these men have treated you like a friend in any way, shape or form.
Then you fawn over them, create relationships with then based on the fact they fucked you and signed a text with a x ( in the case of just friends, who told you he wasn't interested, then went bwcj to his wife, if he was even seperated)
You are just being used.

Also, I thought you said you weren't going to study anynore, but was going to work instead?;?

OP posts:
watchoutforthatsnail · 14/07/2012 12:07

And how did he introduce you to his family? As what? Friend?

If he was only a fwb to start with, why were you emotionalky investing so much?

mercury7 · 14/07/2012 12:10

great news Childof :o

Surely by now we must be in a position to come up with some statistics?

I.e. the average number of frogs that have to be kissed before a you find whatever it is you're looking for...

feelinglonely · 14/07/2012 12:20

Second WATCH,i was in same situation as you MLM but ive learnt a lesson after my "coke" ordeal.we should let the men respect us and not use us,somebody who will cuddle and hugs us instead of shags,we deserve better.
Have join girlsdateforfree but find it boring compare to POf where you get lots of msgs but dont want to go back to pof.ANY GOOD SITES?Confused.

MirandaWest · 14/07/2012 12:21

Yay that is great ChildofIsis :)

I have FOUR papers left to mark. So I will get to go out and have dinner and come back and sleep or do other things in bed Grin. And all day tomorrow as well as have persuaded XH to take DC to school on Monday morning :)

MLM I am pretty sure you aren't actually going to listen to anything any of us are saying which is fair enough, but why post it on here? You seem to be flitting around from one thing to another - I know it is patronising to be told you are young and none of us here is perfect, but maybe try just getting on with life for a bit - if Mr Right is going to be there he won't disappear in the next week or so.

MyLittleMiracles · 14/07/2012 12:22

He introduced me as a girlfriend. My plan is to study and work. I can do my course one night a week from my local college and was gonna get work if I can at a law centre or somewhere even if its only voluntary. I know, it makes sense. 5days at college would be too much I think, but doing it that way means I get my qualification and can better myself whilst also learning hands on so to speak.

My female best friend is a true friend. Cos all she is there unconditionally and not for her own gain, but to listen, give hugs and advice if she can.

mercury7 · 14/07/2012 12:32

feeling I found the opposite, far more messages from the 'girls date for free' style sites than from POF.

I'm not looking for anyone extra right now, since I have a 'sex with the ex' and an fwb arrangement on the go.
Still prefer my own company most of the time and cant imagine wanting anything approaching a relationship again

watchoutforthatsnail · 14/07/2012 12:37

Second Miranda, you flit from one thing to another.

Ok, so you say he introduced you as his gf. Yet told you he wasn't interested in a relationship and didnt see you that way, only in a brother/ sister way. And yet you refer to him as former fwb, but if you had been his gf, then you would say ex. Also, I have no doubt, had you actually got a boyfriend you would have been shouting it from the rooftops in the style of me and Miranda :)
Then found himself a gf, then dumps her for you,shags you, then vanishes.

Fucking hell. You can't see that this is:
1)insane
2) Fucking insane and you need to wise up
3) a massive stretching of the truth on.someones behalf

As Miranda says, you dobt listen to anything anyone says anyway... It's all a bit silly.....

Miranda, have a fab weekend :) and well done, in a few hrs, for completing all the marking!

snapespeare · 14/07/2012 12:52

Okc-ing with a tall man with a huge....beard. Wink

mercury7 · 14/07/2012 12:54

feeling no no I dont see how it can be you or you'd be getting bad result across the board!

I seem to have got used to certain sites, I'm sort of familiar with the layout etc and seem to be able to make it 'work' *for me

(*stretching it a bit, some of the results were pretty dysfunctional, but I interacted, with people, met people and got jiggy with a few of them)

If I joint a different type of site it all seems a bit alien (because I'm not used to it) and I find myself not really wanting to engage with anyone

SerendipitousHarlot · 14/07/2012 13:04

What does your female bf say about all this MLM?

MyLittleMiracles · 14/07/2012 13:20

My female best friend wipes up the tears and mess. Like I do hers. She won't leave him, though he has slept on the sofa for the last 8years. So that's insane too really.
Men are confusing. Maybe me and my female best friend would be a better match, lol. That's what I want, my female best in male form. Not much to ask. Well it is, but there we go.

One thing I do know is I will never go back to my ex. EVER. My female friend us coming over on Wednesday cos I have a police officer coming over, regards of an incident.

watchoutforthatsnail · 14/07/2012 13:25

< bangs head againist wall>

Snape, tall and beardy sounds very good :)

Time, any thing this morning?

OP posts:
feelinglonely · 14/07/2012 13:28

will see how it goes on there.

MirandaWest · 14/07/2012 13:33

I have marked all 600 exam papers Grin

Now possibly I need to pay attention to me and to the house. In one order or another Grin

Am hoping I will be rather otherwise engaged from a bit later on today Wink
