Success, standards and still holding out for Johnny Depp...dating thread 18

[ChaoticismyLife]

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

Only the best is good enough.

As you were....:)

Text tennis! 26 so far today! :)

Enjoy your races sponge! Talk to other people if you don't really like your company. I challenge you to talk to 3 handsome men today!

Oh! 27!

My date for Monday has been confirmed. So excited. Dunno why. Does it count as a first or second date. I say first.

Hi all, can I join in and bask in your dating glory? I have been single for 2 years now as I have raised the barr so high that no one has measured up yet. Actually one guy, at first date, seemed to but after 2 dates said he needed 'space' and since then I haven't really been tempted by anyone. However...I do see a man every morning on my walk to school who is kind of cute in an intelligent nerdy sort of way, and he always smiles and waves...he goes into the dentist surgery so is either a dentist or hygienist or womething...I've never plucked up the courage to speak though and now it's the school hols I won't see him til september unless...hmm, maybe I should register the kids there as we don't have a dentist yet (new to area). Other than that I seem to do nothing but attract married men who I wouldn't touch with a bargepole (been on the receiving end and it's not nice, plus I respect the sisterhood too much).
So can I lurk and join in the 'second hand' excitement?

That's my plan, to try and have the conversation before I lose all sense of tact and diplomacy! Will update tomorrow.

girly definately go with heels if you don't have height issues with men. I'm 5'8" (6' in heels) so it narrows my options down considerably as I LOVE my heels! Fortunately Mr R-N is 6'5" so I'm loving feeling petite for a change

Hi patches welcome!

You must register your family with that dentists! Do it now! Sieze the day! :)

snapespeare...that's what my best mate said so I think on Monday I will dig out our medical cards and bite the bullet

My sister in law phoned me this morning to tell me she had bumped into an ex ofmine who asked for my number and told her I had broken his heart etc etc (we're talking 25 years ago). She said she didn't have it so he said he would look me up on facebook (he can't, I have privacy settings). He told sil that he was single now, his marriage didn't work out etc but when I looked at his profile, or more specifically his 'ex' wife's, he appears to be very much married as she was talking about fifty shades of grey and likening her hubby to christian grey! O.................................K. Hear that...it's the sound of the barr being raised a bit higher again!

I'm off soon ... but I think I'm more optimistic/excited about Snape's date than mine!

Good luck to everyone on dates today, and have a good day at the races, Sponge.

chaotic in wondering what the green light is now!!!

well after my last disastrous date and I got a parking ticket.. which I've appealed against but not heard about as yet... (most expensive date ever) I was yet again going to give up.. but a person with no picture messages me and got chatting.. exchanged pictures (I have no pic up either) and he's really nice so far.. Texts ever day.. I'm meeting him weds eve hopefully.. providing im ok for childcare.. but he seems normall. his kids are exactly the same age as mine and he knows I struggle for baby sitters so Is fine with that. I'm trying not to get excited about this one lol !!

I think not getting too excited is the key. Certainly in my case - I've learned now that however well we appear to get on beforehand, however well the date seems to go, even if they say they want to see me again and we arrange another date, nothing ever comes of it, so getting excited about it is a bit of a waste!

I'm getting to the stage where I think maybe I should have stuck with the evil Ex. It's not like I've done so well thats an understatement since I got rid of him. I've always thought I was so much happier now, but I'm not sure if I am really, or whether I've just exchanged one sort of unhappiness for another?

MrsGrey I've no idea what it was but if I see my neighbour I'll ask her if I remember. Her house is set at a 90 degree angle to mine and our front gardens adjoin so she may know something about it. She has three dc and it could have been something of one of theirs.

arh... it could have been a laser pen light or something similar ! my brother brought one for my dc recently..

sometime I think that also sponge.. when he's nice I wonder what we did wrong(which is only short lived) then when he turns back into an arse I think "oh yes I remember.. your a t**t!!!" this weekend it's my birthday and he claimed he was working and couldn't have the fc so I could go out with some friends... then I wake up to lots of texts he's sent overnight as he was drunk and out... so in royally pissed off with him today.. he gets to go out !!
I've taken my anger out on the housework this morning instead and on a nano cleaning frenzy !! doesn't happen often lol

I meant dc not fc!!!!! autocorrect !!!

I have no contact with mine, apart from our mediation sessions I havent had any contact with him for over 2 years. I still think he's a complete prick most of the time. But maybe putting up with him would have been preferable to spending the rest of my life on my own? I wouldn't be stuck in a job I hate either. And the DSs wouldnt have to spend time going between 2 houses (which I know they hate). Maybe I'm not so clever as I think I am.

I have no contact with mine. He tricked me into talking to him on facebook for a while (he used the name and a pic of one of my old and trusted friends and used it to add my oldest most loyal friend who I have known since I was three. He is of course blocked. Sneaky bastard.

So looking forward to Monday.

Text 237, told him the ex gave me herpes.

And so we wait.

I see XH quite often but as DC are 8 and 6 and he has them on average about 2 nights a week or so there needs to be passing over of children. He isn't an awful person but he is always going to be the most important person in his world I think. The DC see a lot more of him than when we were married which seems odd in some ways and so far they don't seem too traumatised about having to go between two different houses.

They do know about Mr Nice now although I'm not planning any meeting yet. After seeing Mr Nice for lunch yesterday I don't get to see him until Friday which at the moment seems a way away but seeing as I am supposedly a grown up I am sure I can cope :)

Text 2532- meet you at the back of debebhams.

Oh the glamour!!!

Snape, if hes any sort of decent chap he will be understanding... And very brave of you to put that out there before meeting. Hoping he replies.

I also am :( about dd leaving for 2 weeks..I'm.going to miss my most favourite person.

And what are you going to do round the back of Debenhams then?

Hope the two weeks go quite quickly watch - I am ok when I go away ie for work and the DC are here but if I'm here and they're not it feels not nice.

Mr Nice and I are up to 3057 texts

No I misremembered - is 3067...

2 weeks is a Long Time. Then she's back for 2 nights and then away for another week.

Ive got lots to do, and it will be fine, but still, ill miss her, she's fun

255, back to the smut. :)

He's ok with it. He might be one of those rare beasts, a decent chap.

Thing is, the texting is a bit steamy flirty and if there is a bit of a possibility of having sex with the chap (presuming teeth, not 5ft 6 etc) at some point (not tomorrow! ) then its probably easier a cop out to put it out there by text, so he has time to research risk etc. I'm too nice, really, should just get my horn on and screw the sexual health consequences for anyone else...

You're doing the right thing snape - and being nice is good.

Good god.
How do you have time for so many texts? :)

Now my issues for tomorrow are:
1- which bikini to wear
2 - what to do with my bruised legs from my martial arts training (he knows)
3 - my pale skin

Oh well. Not much I can want to do about 2 and 3.

Snape, good :) I'm.pleased, he sounds really nice actually... And I cant wait for tomorrows update, what Time are you meeting him?

Leuji, a text takes a few seconds... Easily fits in. Mr l and I pretty much chat non stop, all day, have done from the beginning really. I like talking to him :)
We also what's app and fb message too, depending on where we are, joy of smart phones I supose. Have a fab time tomorrow :)

Actually, watch. He's a filthy sex beast if his texts are anything to go by.

this is excellent!

Hurry up tomorrow! Let's get real life disappointment out of the way so I can get back to moping around over PM & being cynical and caustic again. no idea what time yet, depends on my post BBQ hangover in the morning.
