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

[watchoutforthatsnail]

Here we go again....

The one person I really proper enjoy telling to is my age, really nice, good looking, almost perfect, but lives in erm AUSTRALIA. why I added him I don't know but well I suppose the security there is that nothing will happen. I wont stop talking to him. I learn quite a lot about there culture. Etc.

Seriously libby, his chin is touching his nose, he looks like he's gurning.

MLM When do you hear about your course, whether you have been accepted or not? I'm just thinking that maybe you will get some fulfilment from your study and work placement, so you won't be looking to men to fill a gap, so to speak. Plus, you will meet new people, make new friends, your life will take on a different direction. If I were in your position I wouldn't be looking for a bloke, I would be looking for friends to have fun times with.

Time, I'm seriously wondering whether it would be worth joining OKC just to see that...

Meanwhile, I've got a message from someone who lists his 'likes' as "good sex with my darling" - is is just me or is there something really yuk about that?

MLM, I agree with what Time has just said.

Not just you.

Besides it's a given. Unless he's dumb.

I just hope darling is not the name of his pet.

It would put you off your tea Libby. I had to stop myself from wondering what it would be like to kiss someone with a chin like that, I mean, where would my face fit? Eh?

'Good sex with my darling'

Is his darling a euphemism for his penis I wonder?

This thread is really making me larf! Also it reminds me of all the dates I had pre stbxh 6 years ago. Mind you I am chatting to a really nice dentist at the moment I call Dr Elephant who I have a date with on Thursday. Neither of us want anything heavy atm but also don't want one night stands so it might be just what I need right now. He's very complimentary so hoping the "too fat to fuck" feelings dissipate along with my stbxh! Hoping he doesn't turn out to be a twunt too!

Lueji, Time and Miranda, stop it! I'm trying to drink a cup of tea and I'm laughing so much I nearly spat it out. If this keyboard gets ruined, I'm warning you now, I'm going to charge the three of you for a new one!

Midwife, I have to ask ... why do you call him Dr Elephant?

The dentist in Peppa Pig is Dr Elephant. Dirty mind!!

Dr Elephant Midwife. Is that in any way a reference to the size of his trunk? Or is he perhaps wrinkly and a funny shade of grey?

I'm hoping the former!!!

And by the way Midwife the 'too fat to fuck' comments made by your ex are not worth your headspace. It is total bollocks. If he found you 'too fat to fuck' it is simply because his penis is too small for the job! Don't you dare let that twunts comments knock your confidence!

Loving the thread today :)

Nothing to report on the Mr R-N front. He text me thurs night, mustn't have been much going on on POF... I asked him if he was free this weekend knowing he wouldn't be and he replied to say he had his DS. So I will see him when I see him.

I've had a manic couple of days so haven't really given it much head space. Despite being disappointed in the week I kind of feel like I don't really care that much now... Not sure what that says about me? Do I genuinely not like him enough to be phased by it or am I one of these women that turns a blind eye because ignorance is bliss? If I thought he was actually seeing someone, that would be different but given the hours he works and when he's sees me I doubt he'd have time. Also don't think he could be arsed! Maybe I'll feel differently when I'm on my own later with all the time in the world to over analyse think about it!

Enjoy your evenings all those lucky ladies seeing their boyfriends dates tonight :)

I think men use that we are fat against us cos its one of the surest ways to hurt us, so your ex midwife can fuck the fuck off. My ex used to call me fat, and it took my confidence eventually, though now I know I am not too fat at all.

I think I need some single friends, everyone else around me has partners. I need some girls again don't i?

Yes mlm you need some good single girlfriends or you are in danger of getting into a pattern or habit of lurching from one disaster to the next. What you need is a distraction that isn't man-shaped. I know finding gf's is a 100 times harder than finding a bloke - that's a problem for me at the moment.

He did destroy my confidence but Dr Elephant is bigging me up beautifully without sending any cock shots

Still I think it says you aren't setting your standards high enough and you are prepared to allow yourself to be treated with less respect than you deserve. He may not be seeing anyone else but he is logging onto POF, while he is seeing you. Men are like monkeys, you know, they don't let go of one branch until they have hold of another one. If it was me in your position I would be pulling back that branch and enjoy watching him fall from a great height. Take control Still

Yes, MLM, you need some single friends, girl friends. But we have said this before haven't we? And you said you were going to forget men and get your self sorted, but for some reason you seem to have a need to be wanted and adored by men. I think this is something you need to address, because until this is worked on you have the potential to end up in another abusive relationship. Personally, I think you need to take a serious amount of time out to work on yourself, you really will benefit from it.

Midwife you do know that you have to share any cock pics you get, don't you? I have a special folder As for ex twunt, he can only destroy your confidence if you allow him, if you choose to believe what he says about you, and why the hell would you choose to believe what he says? Eh? What special qualifications does he have that makes him worthy of being listened to? He's a git. Plain and simple.

midwife its so nice to receive compliments after being made to feel sub-standard by an ex. My confidence has rocketed in the last 12 months since splitting with STBXH. Men DO find me attractive - so screw YOU STBXH!

Yes absolutely although I'm not looking forward to the inevitable messing about & sudden disappearances!

Midwife, haha, yes, I certainly leapt to the wrong conclusion about Mr Elephant! And as for the comment made by your ex ... I don't know your story, but I'm just so glad to hear that he's now your ex. What an awful thing to say.

Still, I can understand your confusion about Mr R-N. I kind of saw someone for a few months last year, but one thing that put me off him was that everytime I logged onto GS, there he was! Yet I didn't know how to ask him about it without a) seeming as if I was stalking him or b) coming across as possessive. It's a really tricky one.

Time that's what I fear, that I might be lacking respect for myself. I know what I'd say to a friend or my DD's in this situation. Why don't I feel angry or annoyed or upset though? Wish my counselling appointment would bloody well hurry up!

Still maybe his behaviour isn't causing a reaction in you because you are accepting of it, due to your self esteem not being quite high enough yet. You don't have to wait for your counselling to take control, you can take that first step on your own. Dump him
