Forget the olympics...we're aiming for dating gold.

Only the best is good enough.

As you were....:)

Yes, definitely text him Smile

I think his 'let me know if you fancy another night out' was nice, not too pushy and leaving the decision down to you, so if you didn't like him you don't need to get in touch. If he wasn't interested he didn't have to say anything.

I'm pleased you had a nice time Smile

TimeForMeAndDD · 20/07/2012 22:37

Grin Brilliant! MrsT

Snape hope you're not getting to attached to Mr Beardy before you have met him Wink

TimeForMeAndDD · 20/07/2012 22:39

SNAPE Your new profile pic on FB is gorgeous!!

OhWesternWind · 20/07/2012 22:40

Got a coffee date lined up for tomorrow with someone I hope could be good. Chatted on the phone for over an hour last week, got on really well. This is only my second date so please, any tips?

SerendipitousHarlot · 20/07/2012 22:41

MrsT that is fab! I LOVE that feeling!

I dumped mine after the first week because he was far too full-on, bordering on stalky. He wore me down by texting me asking if he could take me for pick'n'mix and I could even have fudge Grin

We've been together for almost 18 months now and are very happy.

MirandaWest · 20/07/2012 22:49

Yay MrsT :)

snapespeare · 20/07/2012 22:51

time hell no, he's a disembodied set of pixels at the moment... And thank you might have sent that to mr beardy

ChaoticismyLife · 20/07/2012 22:51

Time I was going to get out of bed and look out the window when the dog distracted me by coming in the room, it disappeared a few seconds later.

MrsT brilliant news Grin

Excellent MrsTodd

snapespeare · 20/07/2012 23:31

Lueji · 20/07/2012 23:36

Can you still feel your thumbs? Shock

MrsToddNeeLovett · 20/07/2012 23:37

Update: we're going out again next Friday :)

Must remember to keep it slow and steady - don't want to mess it up acting like a lovestruck kid - I've made that mistake so many times.

snapespeare · 20/07/2012 23:43

I'm saving my thumbs for PS3 a thon with PM in the week....but there might be a stirring.

yay mrs t! Could you eat him up? Will you go down by the sea? (Sondheim in joke)

MrsToddNeeLovett · 20/07/2012 23:50

haha he's a bloody wonder ;)

MyLittleMiracles · 20/07/2012 23:56

snape 135 texts tut tut, that is smutty.
mrst glad you had a good night and have a second date.

I done that stupid relationship thing on facebook. APPARENTLY I will find someone whose name starts with an E at 2.31am on march 9th 2019!!!!!!!!!

HEEEELLLLOOOO 7years of being alone, me thinks not!

Ithinkineedtogrowapair · 21/07/2012 00:25

Aha found you again! I havre been loitering but not posting. Probably should have done because I've got myself into a pickle with the student.

We ahem got together for a couple of steamy encounters then he went on holiday. Since then it's gone from let's definitely meet to radio silence (with being stood up due to him being ill on the way) and I'm v pissed off!! Basically because I thought there was a good connection and that we were friends at some level.

And it was only meant to be a fwb but now I've got all into it and I shouldn't have done anyway. Argh.

In the meantime I had an encounter Blush with someone 11 years younger than me! Over 20 btw. Even writing that feels wrong. And mainly because I was pissed off with the student.

Think I need to forget him and find some new dates. Sigh. Luckily an old friend is loitering, think he's going to ask me out soon. I am mainly tempted because he has a motorbike. He's Italian too so would surely buy dinner....

Sorry about the essay Blush can you tell I'm obsessing a bit too much here over A Big Flake.

Ithinkineedtogrowapair · 21/07/2012 00:28

Ps snape looking forward to the big reveal on me beardy! Let's hope he has teeth at least and the beard is trendy rather than a cunning ruse to distract your attention.

snapespeare · 21/07/2012 00:47

There might have been a phone call. He might have a lovely voice.

Maybe.

watchoutforthatsnail · 21/07/2012 07:30

Snape!!!!! I am SO excited about your date tomorrow :) and your fb pic is lush.

Mrstodd, fab :)

Charlie, did you hear anything?

Dd is off to her dads for two weeks, later this afternoon :(
But then I'm.seeing mrl about an hour after :)

Lueji · 21/07/2012 07:43

Seems promising, Snape.

And Watch, there is always that upside indeed.

Well, I did send the message to the other bloke last night.
Not that I'm expecting much to come out of it.
It does feel weird, but you are right that things with Mr VN can still easily pearshaped once I get to know him better.

Still, I'm meeting him and some of his friends tomorrow where he's gone this weekend on the way to my holiday destination.

StillGettingItWrong · 21/07/2012 08:39

Morning ladies. Just checking in after catching up with the thread.

Not much to report really. Seeing Mr Right-Now tonight, first time in two weeks due to DC etc. We are going out to get totally rat-arsed after a shit week for a few drinks so I'm hoping to engineer a conversation about where we're going. Probably will be an epic fail due to alcohol consumption Confused

Girly · 21/07/2012 09:40

Eek I have a date this morning! Brunch with someone I met on okcupid. Let's call him mrtall. He is tall, I like tall. I am 5ft 4, he is 6ft 4 Grin

No heels for brunch? It's too early in the day. Oh god what shall I wear? I should be more organised, it's been planned since midweek and I have left it to the last minute.

Lueji · 21/07/2012 09:45

Last minute is good.
Don't over think it.
Heels are fine if you normally wear them.

Good luck.

And Still, maybe have the chat before getting plastered?
:)

ChaoticismyLife · 21/07/2012 09:48

Wedges???

Still if you start the conversation early enough not to be bladdered but late enough for Dutch courage it might go okay.

Snape sounding good.

hope all goes well for those on dates today :) or rather that you have more success than me (not exactly difficult)

off on work outing to the races later. at least for now the sun is shining. so have to plaster on a smile and spent 6 hours in the company of people I dont really like pretending to have a good time, and without the help of alcohol.

im sure there probably is a bright side but I struggle to see it...
