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....:)

In my experience its impossible to have even one man on the go, let alone more than one!

One of my (Im sure well meaning) friends suggested that as nothing seems to be happening for me relationship wise, maybe I should just get myself a FWB instead....slightly hampered of course by the fact no man I meet wants to see me again, whatever the basis If only it were that easy.

I've only ever met a handful of men cleverer than me, outearned most men I know too (had the job I do now since I was 24) but it's only over the last 4 years I've had a problem attracting men - or more precisely retaining them after date 1. I look a lot better than most women my age so it's not even as if I've aged badly.

I very seldom meet men that are cleverer than I. It's a huge turn on. I want to learn lots of things through interaction with someone else...

So, 405 texts down the line, no word from mr beardy so far today and it is meant to be date day. We hadn't confirmed a time. He was out last night at a friends house, I am presuming his mobile has died and he's winding his way home, so he can send me a text.

Or, he could just be a useless cunt.

In wonderful news, introduced my lovely flat mate to my lovely friend and she spent the night in his room. I am SO pleased for them both. Call me cilla! :)

Hope mr beardy gets in touch.

I had a vague date planned with mr chicken, who has been away on business for weeks. he emailed me midweek and said was I free at all at the weekend to meet up? I said yes, sunday, he said great. however no plans beyond that, I had 2 texts from him yesterday with no mention of it. And nothing today. I'm not chasing him.

They are clearly not worthy of you. I am hoping after Monday I will be seeing more of him. I will not be sleeping with him though. 5 dates minimum from now on :)

I am a good girl from now on. Though when I say that my friends laugh at me. Can't imagine why. Certainly got the ex out the system and my confidence back. I used to shake with fear when anyone kissed me etc now I don't.

I look a lot better than most women my age
me too!
if they look better than me I assume they must be younger:o

as for intellect..I prefer strong in the arm and thick in the 'ead
easier to control
I can read a book if I want to learn something

Absolutely. No chasing here, I refuse to chase. I'm sure there's a totally rational explanation for it... like him processing the genital herpes information overnight and taking a cowardly way out pfft. . What ya gonna do?

mercury my problem is I'm clever but not AT ALL intellectual - my favourite programme is TOWIE the last thing I want is someone who wants to engage in worthy intellectual debate! they have to be clever enough though, my Evil Ex was thick as a plank and that didn't work well (he thought I deliberately used words in arguments that he coldnt understand!). My lovely Ex meanwhile had about 2 GCSEs, couldnt spell for shit yet wasn't the slightest bit stupid and wrote me the most lovely (spellchecked!) poems :)

snape did you have a rough time planned to meet? am hopeful he's just disorganised/hungover rather than a coward.

'afternoon', I guess that's any time up til 6...

Sponge
If you are clever you must by definition have a strong intellect?

Perhaps you mean that you dont have 'intellectual' or 'highbrow' tastes, you prefer towie to tosca :o

he thought I deliberately used words in arguments that he coldnt understand

you mean you didnt??
it's a quick and dirty way to make a man feel inferior...who wouldnt use it :o

Agree afternoon could be up to 6ish. I say 3pm is the cut-off after which we can call him a tosser.

but hopefully we won't need to :)

(good news re your friend & flatmate though - but why is it always easier to find matches for other people than ourselves?!)

mervury yes thats it! I'm the very definition of lowbrow

Ah well, if it's any consolation, I have not heard a dicky bird from mrtall since last night, it does grate a little but I am like a bouncy ball. Nothing wrong with his phone, saw him online on Cupid so he's not dead! Onwards and upwards.

Snaps, do not chase, I know the temptation is to tell them to go fuck themselves, which is what I want to do right now. Resist temptation and find another more tasty option.

I am watching Heston, food porn!

Oh not, I will not chase. Sent a cheery non smutty hello at 10.30 this morning, not a peep. 15.00 is our cut off point

I'm going to have a stroll down to the shop and then watch some doctor who. I am not going to glare at my phone for an hour.

I am going to walk the dog in the sunshine. Make the most of it while it lasts!

He may well surprise you snape? I hope he does x

Probably a surprise either way. I'm not invested, it's fine.

Oh. Just got a text!

Ok, we're on for five. Co-ordinate watches, ladies!

Girly:give him some time and if you still dont hear from him move on.
Snape:have fun.
My 46yr date has been texting after the cancelled date,he finally came clean that hes after casual sex with me and wasnt happy when i cancelled date .He is just like all of them,wanted to give him a chance but here we go again..Am just taken my time and not let any prick take advantage of me.

Snape. You have picked the right weather for your fab new dress. If nothing else you can showcase the amazing zip.

Well, my coffee date (thurs daytime) text Friday at around 5 asking if I'd go out with him that night. I said I had other plans. Maybe another time. For sure he text. So I asked sat morning when would he be free and he offered to come over to my house, under the pretence that he could advise me on my garden. I declined again, saying I was busy.

He text today, he is I'll (what is it with sick men). Claiming food poisoning.

So I think he is after casual sex. I didn't fancy him enough to want that. He would be a grower and I'm not in the mood for casual sex.

I'm pretty smart and it definitely made some men wary.

No way is he 36. Or 6 foot 3. He's gone for a shit, been 15 minutes, think he's done a runner!

Right. He's still not back, I need to leave. Don't i?

lol snape.

Yep Snape. You do. The fact that he takes a shit mid date is enough!

What? Seriously?

Bloody hell, how rude, both on the pooing front and running off front.

Wow, beggars belief. Dont quite know what to.say....
U.ok?

In surprising news, today I met mrl's mother while I had a load of dried cum on the side of my face

Lol. Watch!
