Nope i havent Shock i have been being a good girl was going to wait for date 5, but seeing as next weekend he is coming down and cooking for me and bringing a dvd i think i might get carried away. He is a great kisser though I actually really like him! Grin

God he better be amazing cos i have waited so long and desperate now

SerendipitousHarlot · 01/08/2012 21:07

You've waited about a week! Lol.

MyLittleMiracles · 01/08/2012 23:04

Its been longer than a week, more like two!!! I know,i know, its only cos he is hot and i have a higher than average sex drive me thinks Blush He is really nice as well and a great kisser imagines what he will be like in bed, sigh

MyLittleMiracles · 01/08/2012 23:08

I will of course update on how it goes and am actually looking forwards to it!!!

Pisces · 01/08/2012 23:09

Hello ladies, I might join you all if you can solve a slight problem for me. My STBXH has found my profile on a dating site. I have blocked him but he has set up yet another "profile" and is sending me "I like you" messages. I have had to hide my profile completely to stop him stalking me. Is there any way I could ask the site owners to completely block him so I can go back on the site?

MyLittleMiracles · 01/08/2012 23:19

You can ask them to but he will probably only find another way, maybe open a new account in a different name and go on oasis, cos he cant actually message without you having accepted him?

Pisces · 01/08/2012 23:24

Thank you MLM Smile. We have been separated since Feb 2011 and I moved into my own place in November 2011 but STILL he is trying to control me and everything I do. He came to see me to say that he expects to be told if and when I date someone!!!! Sad. It has made me feel so depressed that I still cannot have a life of my own.

MyLittleMiracles · 01/08/2012 23:33

I split from my ex in novemeber also and i am also waiting on my divorce, i found out tonight that according to friends and now my own facebook stalking he is in a new relationship but wanted me back two weeks ago Confused

I have been dating a while and have date 4 next weekend and my ex will not be knowing, in fact if i were to get re married he wouldnt know seeing as he cant be arsed to see his son, despite mediation being offered and a contact centre, apparently i am stopping him from seeing our DS, WTAF!!! Take responisibility and stop blaming me for not being bothered to drive to see him, yet my date for friday lives a good 45 minutes away and drives up and back to see me!! So why my ex cant do the hour or so for his son i dont know!!!

mercury7 · 02/08/2012 00:29

Pisces what an arse your ex is being Angry
however you CAN have a life of your own since there is no reason for you to comply with his daft expectations.
He sounds a little obsessive?
Perhaps things need to be handled carefully with him?

ChaoticismyLife · 02/08/2012 16:41

Pisces tell him to take his expectations and stick them where the sun don't shine. Do you have dc together?

Agree with chaotic got my school uniform......think the skirt is too short though. Looking forward to the party though. Lol.

MyLittleMiracles · 03/08/2012 23:30

I am busy arranging my next date....will be date 4 i am impressed.... He makes me giggle, its fun when we are together, we are playful and always laughing. He has potential....

SerendipitousHarlot · 04/08/2012 21:02

Where are you all?? Shock

MyLittleMiracles · 04/08/2012 21:24

I know they have all disappeared I can only think they are having too much sex of a good time. Still need to confirm date 4. Might come over in a while or whenever I am free.....screw my 5 date rule, come on date 4 is impressive by my standards.

ChaoticismyLife · 04/08/2012 21:31

I'm around but I'm sofa surfing atm. Trying to get the rest of my life back on track isn't going too well either.

MyLittleMiracles · 04/08/2012 22:47

It all takes time chaotic its hard trying to get back on track, but sometimes it happens when you least expect it. Take my housing, I was fighting with the council to get them to house me when on a Saturday night i got a response to the ad I had placed on gumtree and 6 weeks later I moved into a place I could only dream of, I was expecting a flat in a tower block, instead a two bed house, with gardens. Sometimes it happens when you don't expect it to.

MrsGrey · 05/08/2012 13:38

I'm checking in... up to date 8 with the guy I met from POF. he's asked me to go to Florence with him around October time.. he can't believe I've never gone away for a long weekend trip so wants to remedy it. and he made me lunch yesterday ( never had anyone make me lunch before !) he's really really lovely.. I'm trying not to get to into this incase it's all a dream..

MyLittleMiracles · 05/08/2012 14:50

Ooh I love it when someone offers to cook for me. Currently enjoying an iced drink. It's nice out now and I can have it in peace (although with me little man is asleep)

snapespeare · 05/08/2012 15:35

I've clearly not been shagging! . Feeling a bit sorry for myself, been spending far too much quality time with PM, he was around for dinner last night & was asking my opinion of women on OKC. Insensitive fucking sod. Told him off for it on basis it was rude, then had a big negative moan about how shit internet dating is and how i am never going to have sex again. Fucking unrequited bollocks, how I wish I could just go off of him. Feel need to have a good moan at flatmate, who has been out shagging all weekend. Envy

AndLibbyMakesThree · 05/08/2012 15:45

No luck here either! The man I met 2 weeks ago and wan't interested in is still texting me. The man I met last weekend and liked never got in touch again. Isn't that so often the way it goes?

I find myself thinking about Mr Coffee, who I met up with 4 times earlier this year. He was interesting and good company and really seemed to like me, and I keep being tempted to get back in touch with him. But then I remember I just didn't fancy him, so I guess getting in touch again would be pointless.

Snape, I don't know the full story with PM - does he know how you feel about him?

Movingforward123 · 05/08/2012 16:47

mrs grey he sounds lovely Smile I'm surprised to hear that there are nice decent guys on Pof...

Well I've decided not to sleep with anyone unless I actually fancy them! I stopped going out drinking over 2 months ago as I was having ons with guys I would never normally look at! And recently stopped sleeping with fwb as he was being an arse and using sex as a power struggle I felt Hmm

So now I feel better for not doing any of the above, but I really want some action and would love a cuddle too! Really I think I've come to realise that I only want to sleep with people that I have a bond with and might actually go somewhere!!

Problem is I'm very fussy and don't like many guys that much Confused I really think I've given up on internet dating!

MyLittleMiracles · 05/08/2012 16:51

snape you will have sex again!!! Last night didn't happen cos I passed out on my sofa. He is lovely. I also have a local admirer, which is great, feeling very spoilt cos my aunt put some money in the joint account for my birthday, so of course I assumed the ex would have taken it, nope appears not, hence me transferring it from that account to my own and going into lush to buy some nice bath bombs and soap.

I am a little Angry that my friends seem to think I need setting up with someone, when I don't!!!! I haven't told them yet about date 4, in fact they have no idea he exists. Perfect. For now.

MrsGrey · 05/08/2012 17:10

movingforward - yes I'd given up on finding any one decent on POF.. was literally going to close my account down that evening when we had first contact.. I don't know how weve not met in real life as it turns out we have mutual friends and have been to same places at same time..
and his children are same age as mine and is really good about the whole childcare situation and knows ex is an arse about having them for me so I can go out.
but I can vouch there are decent ones... it may not last long term buts a good one so far :)

snapespeare · 05/08/2012 17:12

Moving forward- I agree wholeheartedly. I don't want to have sex for the sake of having It, I am not a sucession of holes for some random bloke to stick his cock in. I can't be intimate with someone I don't know or like, which rules out... about 99.9% of the male populace. :(

PM knowing or not knowing that I 'like' him is one of these very seldom discussed elephants in the room. I've bluntly/drunkenly told him that I have feelings for him, he looked mortified, so we've changed subject and moved on. I've previously argued that we'd make a great couple, I just don't think he fancies me (idiot!) if I labour the point, the intimacy and friendship will go out of the window & he might start wearing a shirt in my company more & that would suck. I'd never want to make him feel awkward or embarrassed, so I don't bring it up, I just whine on about men in general terms & my non existent sex life. I'm an incredible actress & It's incredibly draining, it's been going on for almost three years now. I'm worn out.

MyLittleMiracles · 05/08/2012 17:36

I messaged my oldest mate drunk on Friday night saying it was always him and still is.....no response, I couldn't act for three years, I would drop my guard before then. Little man is being demanding today....half 7 bed.
