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....:)

Have been busy ish doing summer holiday things with the DC but tonight Mr Nice and I are going to an 80s music and horse racing thing and then tomorrow going off to a castle :) Haven't seen him for a week and then it was only for lunch so am looking forward to seeing him tonight ;)

My mum was very happy when I told her about him - and I really don't see a problem about seeing someone when you're not divorced - I will be at some point but there's no desperate hurry.

Have managed to organise gardener to come here tomorrow morning plus he has ordered me a skip to get rid of all the garden rubbish that's been hanging around for ages. This is good but means that long lazy lie in unlikely for tomorrow .

I need to tidy. Children going to XH around 4 and then Mr N coming here around 5 so finding some floor would be good. Have been doing intensive stuff like kitchen cupboards and giving XH all his books back which is a good feeling. Althogh attic and garage still need doing (and only moved here two years ago....).

Hope everyone has good weekends :)

MLM, it's definitely not crying, more about keeping things calm for the divorce and custody processes.
Plus ex has threatened in the past about me having other men.

But I can't put my life on hold.
Mr VN is aware and keeping things discrete. But at some point we'd have to make it public. If we get there. :)

I understand that. I wanted to keep things calm for the divorce to, but he won't even acknowledge it. He is being awkward. He cant be bothered to see our ds. So as far as I am concerned he can get lost.

Little man went into his big boy bed tonight. It's great to see him growing up, so why am I sitting here in tears that my baby is all grown up. I know you have to let them grow and that sometimes means letting go, but I am sad.

Marking my spot too. God - memories of the 3 years of bloody dating before I married ex twunt makes me heart sink! All I want is a lover!! Not lots of one night stands or a husband, just a lover! Had a great date 2 weeks ago with a fab dentist "Dr Elephant" 6'4" of sex on legs. He texts, he says he can't wait to get his hands on
me etc but never arranges anything!!! Why??

midwife men are frustrating. I have a date for "sometime" next week. Grrrr. Like I can drop everything, actually seeing as my week mainly consists of cleaning I can.

I give up before I even start! Meanwhile chatted to a local guy on POF for a few days, he seemed quite nice although very keen. I gave him my number but said I would be busy with kids until 745 & then to gym so would text him when I got back. He repeatedly rang my mobile from 7pm, leaving silent voicemails while I was putting kids to bed, did the same while I was at the gym, from 8pm he kept sending messages on POF saying, How was the gym? How was the gym? Until he finally sent one saying "The gym must have sent you to sleep? Why won't you talk to me you're a tease! I've told my friends all about you & downloaded your photos onto my laptop so I can look at them all the time!!" I replied that I thought we should leave it as he was too full on for me. Queue rant by text & POF that all women are nutters & players & that I'm not worth the cost of a text etc etc until I blocked him. Please tell me they're not all like that!!

Midwife, no not all. Only about 50%.

The other 49.999999% are married/fakes/timewasters/too far away/too young/too old/too unattractive.

I've had a message. From someone who looks normal and has a genuinely funny profile

But here's the rub: his message says 'I remember that look. If ever there was a look, this was it. You ready to give it another shot? 3rd time lucky and all that...'

It's quote I think? Or is it? I have never seen him before I would definitely remember. Or is he just being a bit try-hard & expecting me to reply and ask what he's talking about?

Thoughts??

Oh god I don't know!!!! Why can't they just be bloody normal & say what they mean!!!

Hate it's from Rick Astley, "never gone give you up"...

Oh dear!!

It sounds like a line from a film Sponge?

Midwife99, what a nutter, but at least he revealed himself early on...I find you dont need to give out too much rope before the 'undesirables' hang themselves.

Some of them are more subtle and harder to spot tho

Yes I know I married 3 of them!!

sponge he is trying to captivate your attention that has to be a good thing from the usual, hello how are you messages?? RIGHT? He put some effort in wow, that makes a change. I have just messaged a male friend that i want 12 MALE strippers for my birthday for me and my friends to admire (I WAS JOKING)

well we all make mistakes midwife...mind you that does read like you married them simultaneously, as in some sort of polygamous arrangement :o

we do all make mistakes. I have an image of a poor woman tearing her hair out at the altar cos she cant get her vows right marrying three men at the same time now mercury though on the upside i am smiling.

Yes me too!! No sadly it was less "hilarious" than that - repeated mistakes in 1991, 2002 & 2008!!

You live and learn

I got married in 2005 and was married 6 years, i am thinking by the time the divorce comes through it will be 7 years though. its not that far away from what would of been my wedding anniversary.

Just read a hilarious profile on POF. A 40 year old bloke who after 3 paragraphs of bigging himself up says "Seeking a gorgeous girl, aged 30-31, blonde & a size 12. Is this you?" Not fussy then!!!

Prick. Sorry. But he is. Maybe I should put on mine, seeking a 28-23 year old male model, must be tanned, fit and great in bed. Do you think that would work? Lol.

hahaha, think the POF bloke is looking way out of his league there..but I guess a cat can look at a king

Forgive me, I'm drunk.

Just got back from 2nd date. Really falling for this guy. First proper kiss. Great night - seeing each other next week. Why am I terrified of having my heart broken?

Midwife, I'm still getting stupid messages from Mr Rose (about once a week) saying something like: a kiss, missing you.
Doh.
I don't even bother replying as it's so pathetic.
Maybe you should ask Dr Elephant to arrange a meeting or f off?

Plus, MrsTodd, do you really want to be drunk when meeting a new guy? Beer goggles and all that...

Yes Lueji - I also replied to NONE of nutters texts or messages! The only way to do it! I'm off on hols today for a week. When I get back if he doesn't get a grip, gorgeous as he is, I'll have to move on!!

MrsTodd, I went first date bowling and drinking same day as you and had my 3rd date last night, really falling for him too. Bowling and drink, way to go!
