real life challenges vs online misadventures, dating (and non-dating) thread 19

I have been to the pub. I'm not pissed but I am happy (well happier at least).

Conclusions reached this evening:

  1. I am pretty bloody amazing, and any man I choose to date is very very lucky and should appreciate this fact!
  2. Online dating is not for me. But I have learned from it that I shouldnt judge a book by it's cover and not to be so superficial
  3. Man from the weekend DID like me, he is either still in love with his wife, or still hurt by her and lacking in confidence, there is NOTHING I did wrong, and he probably will be back at some point, but it will be too late because I will have MOVED ON :)
  4. I am joining the gym and losing my remaining 3 stone.
  5. I am going back to my old haunts in Essex this weekend because I have the best nights out there and feel at home. I intend to drink, dance, look fabulous and talk to anyone and everyone!

So that's my resolutions for the thread in essence, less moaning, more exercise, to have fun and be sociable to everyone, less aloof unavailable ice queen and more friendly and approachable.

Snape, ask him to help you do some painting. Then take him to your room and produce chocolate body paint! Grin

DONT SAY THAT!!!! (faints) OKC wibble!

hope Lubey is OK - sending nice vibes to lubey! :) )

MyLittleMiracles · 15/08/2012 14:58

I thought of lubey a while ago. I am hoping it goes well.

snape nice bucket of cold Watson

MyLittleMiracles · 15/08/2012 14:59

water even to calm your hormones and bring you back to life.

TimeForMeAndDD · 15/08/2012 15:02

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! Snape!! Finally, the pound coin drops!! Grin

I was think exactly the same just a moment ago Fate, everything that was wrong in his life was my fault, my existence made him miserable. Compared to how miserable he looks now he looked like a lottery winner when he was with me! Twat.

Am sure it's true Snape, browsing anonymously is only for those desperate to stalk the man of their dreams because they are too scared to tell him how they really feel the elite, fully paid up members.

snapespeare · 15/08/2012 15:04

MLM i cant keep up! i honestly cant. On Saturday you had a 'boyfriend' Tuesday you were 'exclusive' now you're in some bizarre purgatory where you're not with someone, but not 'footloose and fancy free'

I'm sure all this attention is very flattering, but please, please look after your emotional health - I'm terribly old and cynical, but I do believe that there are people who exploit vulnerabilities for no good end (takes good look at self)

snapespeare · 15/08/2012 15:06

right who is on OKC? can I profile stalk them to see if they can see if i've profiled stalked them?

TimeForMeAndDD · 15/08/2012 15:06

Not water. RUM! Get some rum down your neck, get his head in your lap, try to focus on his eyes while holding his head firmly in place by the ears, and tell him. Just tell him. Practice saying "PM, I love you" "PM, I love you". Repeat that 250 20 times a night until it becomes a natural thing to say. Start to think it in a positive light, start thinking as though it will happen. Stop thinking any negative thoughts surrounding you and PM getting it on. The Universe is listening to you. But you are held in a queue so it will answer your call when the lines are less busy Grin

Scattylatte · 15/08/2012 15:08

Ahh. I though SNAPE was mean to set up a pretend profile and then he would reveal all about his best friend SNAPE to the internet woman who was indeed SNAPE. What on earth would you do with that information when you got it?? lol. Ahh...its more straightforward...SNAPE will be SNAPE then do the unveiling.
The free hooker thing isnt pleasant on internet dating. Its makes me feel ill. I have been messaging some men, talking about food (my favourite thing), general stuff and all of them, bar one have suddenly switched to sex. One even claiming his ex was a prude and hoped I wasnt. There is a sense of entitelment from them. They were all blocked because once they start they dont stop. Its disappointing.
Recently for some reason I have grown to like my build. I was in Holland last week and the women were very like me. tall and broad. I felt good amongst them as I was an average height. In the UK I feel ungainly and fat - not any more. In addition I have had a couple of men from POF saying they like my build.
I was thinking of Lubey too

TimeForMeAndDD · 15/08/2012 15:08

Me. You can stalk me if you like. LadyIn_Waiting.

snapespeare · 15/08/2012 15:13

I shall stalk you. prepare for a visitation.

I've just initially stalked PM by match type thing without actually visiting his profile. after filling out 50 shades of questions, we're a 95% match, 96% fwiends. :( thats ridiculous.

snapespeare · 15/08/2012 15:15

did you see me? ;-)

TimeForMeAndDD · 15/08/2012 15:16

I've just unhidden my profile especially for stalking purposes.

That's an amazing match with PM!! Are you absolutely sure that he 'isn't into you'? That he isn't just waiting for you to make a move.

TimeForMeAndDD · 15/08/2012 15:17

No. Did you pop in?

MyLittleMiracles · 15/08/2012 15:17

I am, mummyellie. Not going on though. But feel free to stalk me. I come under the same on POF and oasis.

TimeForMeAndDD · 15/08/2012 15:17

How did you see me without upgrading? When I click the 'browse anon' bit I get a special offer off an upgrade. Hmm

snapespeare · 15/08/2012 15:22

muhahahhaha. I am stealth! yay! right, double check that you havent been visited by anyone who cant actually be arsed to complete a profile and then I shall go and have a look at PM.

Now that I have viewed your lovely profile, I feel a kind of urge to personally contact you and generously offer to deposit my man-glue on your heaving bosom. please dont take this personally, I'm just a porn obsessed internet addicted fuckmuppet with a huge sense of entitlement! :)

TimeForMeAndDD · 15/08/2012 15:24

Ahh, I think I have sussed it. I can browse anon but I won't be able to see visitors. If I want to browse anon and still see visitors I have to pay. Simples.

TimeForMeAndDD · 15/08/2012 15:25

Grin Grin Grin

snapespeare · 15/08/2012 15:26

yes! thats it - i couldnt work out how i'd done it for a while... :)

TimeForMeAndDD · 15/08/2012 15:26

Nope, No sign of you. Your invisibility cloak is working.

TimeForMeAndDD · 15/08/2012 15:26

See, that's why all the plonkers gravitate towards POF, it's easier for them to work out Grin

TimeForMeAndDD · 15/08/2012 15:28

Might leave my profile up for a while, see if the Universe is planning to send someone through Cupid.

snapespeare · 15/08/2012 15:40

'accio PM' off to compact my heartbreak even further. :)

yes, you need to leave your profile up for a week now i think - sorry! they have stupid time limits on flouncing.

snapespeare · 15/08/2012 15:47

Hurrah! Rubbish profile with a fib in it

my arm and TWO OF MY CATS are in his profile pics (sod!)

ooh. questions, 'if you like someone a lot do you usually ask them out? ' he answered 'no'.

sorry, you're all getting a FULL analysis of this now. do skip forwards, i know i'm tedious
