MLM keeps getting asked and there is only one way to completely heal. Get out there and try again....

SerendipitousHarlot · 27/06/2012 17:04

MLM, are you on a date? I thought today was the day you were going to see your best friend?

SerendipitousHarlot · 27/06/2012 17:04

I'm not stalking you, by the way! I only remembered the date because it's my payday Grin

Lueji · 27/06/2012 17:09

I'm not sure about instant attraction TBH.

I had that with ex on the first date and see where it got me. Wink

Apart from incredibly attractive men, who rarely never go for me, I get off on mostly on caring attitudes.
So, I'd rather decide on a less pressured, get to know each other better, date.

MyLittleMiracles · 27/06/2012 17:24

Nope. Saw my bestie a while ago. Going up tomorrow to see her and the family. Mainly cos I got asked a d she had to work.

hatesponge · 27/06/2012 19:22

Sunshine, you may have a point. To be fair to my lunch date, this was meant to be his day off but some (non-work) stuff came up which he had to deal with asap, it's just bad timing. And it all took so long/was so stressful he cancelled this eve cos he didn't feel in the right frame of mind. He is however adamant he does want to meet me...

Talks cheap though isn't it? I've said the balls in his court and to let me know when he's free next. This is his last chance though, if he cancels again that's it.

And the one from the weekend has resurfaced.

So we shall see.

MLM, how was the date?

SerendipitousHarlot · 27/06/2012 20:35

So you were on a date? How did it go?

SerendipitousHarlot · 27/06/2012 20:36

sponge - where has he been? The one from the weekend?

hatesponge · 27/06/2012 20:58

He has been working, catching up on sleep Blush and had no credit on his phone... he says.

mercury7 · 27/06/2012 21:01

I def wouldnt want to see someone a second time unless I felt a definite physical attraction.
I dont mean the bloke has to be drop dead gorgeous
that would put him out of my league and make me feel all insecure
but there has to be a certain 'je ne sais quoi'

all that chit chat about peoples lives bores me to tears, if I'm not up for any action I dont wanna know Blush

ChaoticismyLife · 27/06/2012 22:06

At least you know what you want Grin

sponge one more chance then, if it doesn't come off, forget it. The weekend one could be telling the truth, if I wasn't on contract I'd probably be running out of credit, I used to when I was on pay as you go. I've just checked mine to see if it needed charging only to find it's been switched off, most likely since Monday, since that's the last time I looked at it Blush

Lueji if you're happy to let it run a while longer than do, listen to your instincts.

mercury7 · 27/06/2012 22:19

it's difficult to say with phone excuses, I've heard plenty, lost my phone/lost your number/didnt get your text/blah blah.

I do know that if something serious comes up in my life I tend to loose all interest in dating stuff, it just goes on the back burner when there's urgent things to be done.

I guess having a busy life/full on job is one reason to be looking for a 'regular hook up' as opposed to a relationship?

Lueji · 27/06/2012 22:36

I agree about texts, sometimes I may have time.
Others, only later at night. But then I'd rather send an email because it's less intrusive.

Well, not sure how men are going to be around here tonight as our team has just lost... :(
Either depressed or looking for solace, I'm guessing.

hatesponge · 27/06/2012 22:55

I haven't had a payg phone for years, I forget about things like running out if credit Blush. He's not been online since the weekend so thats something I guess. Can't see him this weekend as he has his DC, so not sure when we will meet again (though he said - again - how much he wanted to). Likewise the one from today.

Ithinkineedtogrowapair · 27/06/2012 23:17

Hello all.
Mlm so did you go on a date? Bit confused. It's true the student is a serious fwb candidate but I'm not sure how well I would cope with that or whether I'd get too attached.. I guess could be a plan to test it out!

Sponge - how annoying!!! Good luck with that.

Chaotic - too true. Every time he says things like that or turns psycho I am v happy I am out...

hatesponge · 27/06/2012 23:17

have to add - got a message on POF tonight from a guy who said he needed to msg me 'to praze my shinny beauty' and went on to ask if I could call him on his clearly non-uk number as he had used up his phone credit on his recent travels in southern england.

Hmm Grin

Fuckitthatlldo · 27/06/2012 23:42

Have just had a rather successful phone conversation with handsome architect. Talked for ages and laughed lots with no awkward pauses. At one point I said, "I'm sure I had something I wanted to ask you, but I've forgotten what it is now." He said in a slightly flirty tone, "Were you going to ask me what my intentions were?" I replied, "Nah, thought I'd just play that one by ear." Which made him laugh.

So some definite flirting there despite the kiss on the cheek on the first date. We are getting together again on Sunday. Can't wait! I'm going to want to sleep with him, I know I am. Someone send me the strength from somewhere to wait one more date Grin

Snapespeare · 28/06/2012 11:44

hate your beauty is indeed so shinny! :)

Lueji · 28/06/2012 16:20

Mr Rose has just called to catch up while I was with a student and two colleagues in the room. Blush

Makes you see the point of texting. Grin

notsurewhyohwhy · 28/06/2012 17:29

Hi everyone,

I hope it's going well for you all. Ive not been interested in online dating recently. And can't be bothered with Pof!

But I have been trying to get to bed early and spend some time on trying to make myself happier!

A few days ago I spent the day in the park doing my college work which I never got round to due to many hours spent on MN! Anyway a guy came over to speak to me, me Italian! And I gave him my number even though I don't fancy him, as he said maybe we could be friends or more Confused and now he wants to meet in the park tomorrow and I said yes Hmm and feel abit weird and cringy!!! Not sure if I should cancel Confused

mercury7 · 28/06/2012 17:41

if you feel weird and cringy it may be best not too meet him, or at least not in the park?
It sounds like you gave him your number even though you didnt really want to?

HauntedLittleLunatic · 28/06/2012 17:52

Have pm'd you.

Feeling my hailstones are inferior compared to some mentioned on the link.

HauntedLittleLunatic · 28/06/2012 17:52

Oops...wrong thread!

notsurewhyohwhy · 28/06/2012 22:40

Well I actually said I'll take his number so I could get rid of him, but he said he will put it in my phone and then called his phone from mine, which I thought was a bit cheeky!!

The reason I thought I would go Is just to do something different! But I think the park may be weird! Hmm

MyLittleMiracles · 29/06/2012 09:23

Hey girls, just popping in to say hi to you all. I will be back at some point over the weekend.
