Well, I womaned up and called it a day with Mr Tongue.

He has replied but I haven't read it yet. Not sure he didn't see it coming.

And Mr Polite, after not being much in contact, has sent me a text saying he misses my kisses. We have never met, so I replied saying so. Must be the effect of age. :-)
So, that's definitely out now.

Fuckitthatlldo · 29/06/2012 17:29

Well done Lueji. Glad you ditched the tongue bloke. Every time I read "Mr Tongue" it made me go ewww.

Oh bloody hell, just been receiving messages from carpark man from work on POF. I hate it when there's people you know on there. I'm trying to be friendly, but not interested IYKWIM...he's just sent me a rose Sad

I'm really starting to think this isn't for me, there must be an easier way!

watchoutforthatsnail · 30/06/2012 07:42

Hello,hello, hello :)

I'm back, fab time away. Could someone do me a quick update?

Sponge, how was your date?

Seeing mr lovely later, in theory he should be staying over.
I did miss him abit while I was away, kept in daily contact.
We do have a date later, so not just shagging, but there's a little bit that's warey after the last Time I saw him. So I'm going to play it by ear and see what happens.

glad you had a good hol:)
quick dating thread update?
Hmm, worrabout 'same shit different day'
thats as much as i can remember :o

watchoutforthatsnail · 30/06/2012 10:53

Yep, thats an update!
Lol
:)

I'm really unsure about mr lovely today or what my feelings are(Or even if I want to go)

He knows what time I'm free from, but no plans such as Meeting Time have been sorted... I'm going to wait for him to contact me and sort it. I feel in hindsight ( and after just over a week apart) that I may have made it too easy for him.
Also, about 80% of contact ( just texts while I've been away) has been sexual. Which, after the last Time I saw him....

Obviously haveht seen him since the last time which didn't go well. So I need to go to see what he does. But if he pounces on me straight away... And is only interested in sex then I'm going to have to end it.

OP posts:
mercury7 · 30/06/2012 11:24

that sounds kinda drastic Watch, is it worth just slwoing things down a bit with him?

A relationship thats very sexual can be overwhelming..i mean you sorta dont get chance to step back and see how you feel about the person?

watchoutforthatsnail · 30/06/2012 11:46

Meh. I don't know.
See, confused.

The sex is very good. Very,very good. And I do like him. But I don't want it to just be about the sex.

But at this point you can't tell if It's just that and nothing else or if we are just having lots of sex because we are both highly sexed and its very.good sex.

After speaking with my younger brother, he tells me It's usual to ' see' someone for about 3-4 months before you decide if you are actually official. So, I supose I'm sort of stuck not knowing.

But, equally if he asked me if it was official or What, I'd probably panic.

So, I just sort of feel a bit stuck, because I dont know the context of all the sex

oh for a window into the other persons mind...
What wouldnt i give to see myself through his eyes

MyLittleMiracles · 30/06/2012 13:40

Not too much to update on. Had some upsetting news. A very close friends dad tried to commit suicide so going to see them on Monday, and they obviously need someone to talk to about it, and Thursday was six years since I found out I had miscarried my first, their heart had stopped beating about 6 weeks prior but no signs. So up and down this week and next week will be hard too. I am just glad of the friends I have who understand and you guys.

MirandaWest · 30/06/2012 14:06

I have been marking exam papers.

And seeing Mr Nice a bit.

And he does nice things like getting me a wireless mouse for the aforesaid marking.

I get to go out with him tomorrow if I've marked enough exam papers by then so had better mark a few more.

Quite good thunderstorm here :)

SerendipitousHarlot · 30/06/2012 14:13

Sorry about your sad news MLM Sad

Where were you going when you posted from the train? Did you have fun?

watch, glad you had a good time. You'll see tonight what Mr Lovely is all about, I reckon. Then you can decide.

MyLittleMiracles · 30/06/2012 15:01

Up into London to meet someone. Now next week I am looking after my friend like they looked after me cos we love each other like family. Apparently I am the big sister they never had, so I will of course look after them take food with me cos they cant leave their dad, and Sunday next week I am seeing my former FWB, but I have seen him a good few times since he found a girlfriend. We only hug now and its a good feeling surprisingly and is a relationship that works for both of us.

Sunshinedelacruz · 30/06/2012 16:23

Hi.
No news from me. I have changed my pof to friends now. Nearly had a date last week (story of my life) but apparently I hadn't text back with definite times and a place so it didn't happen.
I'm not convinced my head is in the right place for dating. I know others have said this. I have a tendency to find a reason why I can meet the person. With the one above it was because he is living with his friend. It's not a valid reason so there is something lurking in my inner psyche.
MLM. Im glad you have a good relationship with your ex FWB.
Watch, i think you will know when you see mr lovely where your feelings lie.
The last FWB I had was emotionally unavailable which you would think suited the FWB arrangement fine but he wanted to be with me all the time, at the same time and would cut me off when I couldn't meet him. It just didn't work. There was no friendship at all and my esteem couldn't handle to cold/hot approach.
An ex FWB is in London again next week. I may meet him.

hatesponge · 30/06/2012 17:24

watch have missed you :) glad you had a good hols - weather was fab, you were so lucky!

I agree with Sunshine, I think tonights date will tell you how you feel about him & what you want to do.

My date got cancelled (twice in the same day!). I have one tonight though - different guy. Will report back later... :)

Lueji · 30/06/2012 18:04

So, anyone hoping that Tom joins Pof? Wink

No, nope, not here. Even though I am from the Top Gun generation.

Big red flag: Scientology.

Lueji · 30/06/2012 18:04

Oh, and I forgot.

Good luck for tonight Sponge.

watchoutforthatsnail · 30/06/2012 18:09

Well, I'm a bit annoyed because ive still not.heard from him. We had planned what we were going to do, he knew I was free from 7:30 ish. And that's it. I don't know if I'm meant to meet him somewhere or what?

I'm not going to chase him up but rather wait and see what he does. I'm thinking if I don't hear by 7, when he does contact me I shall suddenly be busy, because thats crap, isn't it? Or am I being difficult?

Sponge, yay for the date, boooo to the other looser. Hope it goes fab!

Yes, fab weather, look like ive been abroad, Though It's possible It's just ingrained dirt!

OP posts:
Lueji · 30/06/2012 18:12

He could have something else going on, but given how you were before and because you kept in touch, I'd have expected him to set a date with you asap.

Unless he is ashamed of what happened.

See what he does. Depending on how he behaves, you could be busy or not.

watchoutforthatsnail · 30/06/2012 18:13

Now even more pissed off. Just got ' hello! I'm Eating in whereever so, I'll be here when you are free'

That's shit, isn't it.

OP posts:
mercury7 · 30/06/2012 18:14

Tom Cruise, isnt he about five foot one?
even bigger red flag than scientology Wink

hatesponge · 30/06/2012 18:18

watch thats a bit crappy of him...maybe just him being disorganised, but you'd think he'd make an effort as first time seeing you in over a week? I think you're right to give him til 7, Im not sure I'd be chasing him up either esp given events last time you met. But then I am definitely difficult :)

Slight crisis over date, cant decide what to wear! is v hot here, i will be too warm in skinny jeans, which was what id planned to wear. I dont feel smart enough in a maxi, plus i have to wear flats...i have a shift dress i mainly wear for work, dont know if it looks too officey?...all my other dresses are 'occasion' ones & bit ott for drinks in the pub!

Confused
hatesponge · 30/06/2012 18:20

oh xpost watch...that does sound a bit rubbish, I'm sorry :(

watchoutforthatsnail · 30/06/2012 18:27

Maxi dress and lots of chunky costume jewlerey? That's fine for a pub....

It is rubbish. Ive not replied yet. He's also made the assumption I'll pick him up.
Not impressed.

OP posts:
ChaoticismyLife · 30/06/2012 19:39

sponge definitely the maxi dress.

watch that is crap. He should be making more of an effort. Glad you had a good holiday anyway, sounds like you've have time to think about things whilst there.

Tom Cruise is 5ft 7in, according to imdb, and about 4th hand goods, when it comes to marriage, now.
