Hah. Can you imagine? Thread linked to Pm. snort!

' Dear PM, hi it's the vipers here. You don't know us, we dont know you, but we've heard quite a bit about you. You know snape? She doesn't really want to date 'the anaethetist', snape will be thinking about you the whole time. Snape wants to read you poetry and rub your cock feet and make you endless cups of tea. Sorry you're too dense to get this, but she has been flirting full on with you for the last couple of weeks. Oh and that profile on okc is her.

You're hugh grant, she's drew barrymore, or martine mccutcheon or julia roberts. You're an idiot. HTH vipers.'

The prof is being very sweet by text today, no filth, just a bit of flirty-fun. It's nice.

Sad

Oh, dear, you've got a little bit more than you bargained for with this honeytrap profile.

Go on your date with the prof, shag his brains out then decide what to do about PM.

soontobedivorced · 28/08/2012 22:58

Scattylatte he got bondage from a handbag? wtf?

hatesponge I just read your post about OKC and the guy from Arizona lol. I am losing faith in that site, indeed have currently suspended my account. Agree re the pic though, I get a ton more visitors and more messages when the old cleavage is on display...part of me thinks they shouldn't want me for my boobs, the other part thinks but men are visual creatures and they need something to spark their interest and they are my best asset...

I think I may wait till cash flow is better then join match.com. Any opinions on this one?

Movingforward123 · 28/08/2012 23:03

snape fill me in on the gossip Grin so I gather pm clicked in your okcupid profile, did he mention it? Is he jealous of you and prof?? I vote that you should meet up for some naughty fun, sounds like two adults that really fancy each other, and obviously if pm decides he is in love with you then you can give prof up easily!!

Update from me, so while dd was away, I did try exercising but it didn't work! I invited mr intense over as friends, drank lots of wine and slept with him Blush im glad I did as I was sexually starved!! But I don't fancy him and can't imagine myself ever wanting to lie on the sofa cuddling him watching tv!

He said that I gets that i don't want any pressure and I felt like he would be up for fwb but he still seems clingy!!

Got the date with sexy neighbour this weekend, although we didn't agree if it was Friday or Saturday and he hasn't messaged me! So he's clearly good at not being clingy which I really prefer!! Wink

Cherubim · 28/08/2012 23:06

I completely agree with lots of other people - you need to shag the Prof & get it out of your system. Only then can you think clearly, atm your hormones are clouding your judgement Grin

hatesponge · 28/08/2012 23:16

Soon I was on Match a while ago. Not impressed at all. Mind you no cleavage on show so maybe that was where I went wrong...

Snape Nicholas is right re PM, I'll bet money on it. It fits in with my film version too Grin Hence I entirely agree, Prof first, PM and whisky second.

So, my evening. Lovely message on POF (I actually mean that, funny and not at all pervy). We have a good old exchange of messages about football (support same team) & stuff. Then he says we need to sit down and sort out a team strategy for the season etc, am I free tomorrow? I say yes sure. To which he says ok let me know when to come round, i'll bring wine Hmm

I of course told him I was expecting to meet him in a pub not my living room! To which he said ok, no problem which pub. I replied with a suggestion 2 hours ago and nothing since.

So clearly he was so just up for sex he couldn't even be bothered to buy a round of drinks in the pub Hmm and people STILL think its my fault I can't get second (or indeed first) dates.

MadameOvary · 28/08/2012 23:29

grumpy - who had the abusive relationship? You or him? And did he say you would be treated like a princess or did you infer it? Because if he said it then Big.Red.Flag. Will explain if you wish.

soontobedivorced · 28/08/2012 23:31

Nice, hatesponge

I was trying to arrange a date with someone off OKC a month or two back. First off, he lives 1 1/2 hours' drive from me so I suggested we meet half-way at services for a coffee. Then he admits he can't drive (at 35??). Wants me to come up to Leeds for the weekend so he can "show me around". I suggest we have a short date at a location he can get to on the train. He asks if it can be a long date seeing he has "come all that way". Then asks if I have a spare room. I tell him he won't be staying at my house. Then asks if we can book a hotel!!! Good grief.

snapespeare · 28/08/2012 23:39

sponge!!! What a shocker!. That's unbelievable. I'm back to blaming porn.

scatty. It is a bit of a bondage handbag.... Wink

nicholas. Thank you. :-)

watch. Any news, been thinking about you today.

Audition went OK I think, incidentally, director will let me know tomorrow, which has 'allowed' me to text PM (I know I'm not 'allowed' to text PM as per point 1 of 10 point plan, what can I say, I'm a rule breaker..)

Me: is it normal to leap a foot in the air every time email goes 'bing!'in case it's director! Augh! Feel sick.

Pm: yeah, it's normal, it's that sicky waiting for a date to call feeling...

Me: It's not like waiting for a date to call, this is worse, much worse! Anyway, you're the bloke you do the calling! (traditionalist here!). Not like I can text the director with 'had a lovely time would be great to see you again!' is it?! Bloody theatricals! This is why I don't act!

No response. Woe!

Meeting prof at 5 tomorrow, public place, rather than straight to the kinky fuckery...

MadameOvary · 28/08/2012 23:49

Well I seemed to picked up a new skill...
I can tell by looking at a man's profile pic whether he is a shortarse or not.
Also whether he is a deviant or not (admittedly that theory remains untested)
And I can tell in a few seconds whether "Yay" or "Nay"
Is this something all newbies do or am i just insanely picky?

mercury7 · 28/08/2012 23:54

what kind of nunbskull thinks any women is going to invite a complete stranger into her house for a 'first' date..yep i've come across a few 'assclowns' who tried to pull that move on me
thats a definite foul ref
seriously i'm surprised you even continued to communicate with him after that faux pas Sponge !

hatesponge · 29/08/2012 07:18

Mercury I thought I'd give him a second chance - mainly because he seemed so nice and totally non-pervy up to that point, we'd been quite happily chatting about the footy, his dog, general stuff. not one dodgy comment. So I don't know whether maybe he was just being a bit stupid, overeager, or if he is just a perv. However as I was posting the above msg he sent one to me, saying he'd see me there tonight. So it looks like I have a date.

He's still on slightly thin ice but we'll see :)

MadameOvary · 29/08/2012 08:06

sponge hopefully his opener will be a profuse apology admitting what a dick he was.
So, you AND Snape tonight!
This thread will be on tenterhooks!

Lueji · 29/08/2012 08:08

Fingers crossed, sponge.

Scattylatte · 29/08/2012 08:19

That's cool sponge. At least you can discuss football if everything else fails. Bloody cheek asking to come over. So many push the boundaries straight away.

Snape. Good look with the acting! And yes my bag does look a little bondage but even someone with bad eyesight could see it was a bag and not an item of underwear. FFS

I'm feel highly suspicious as I have recieved a spate of messages on pof from seemingly half decent men. Of course I am guarded and I'm waiting for the 'turn' to begin but so far so good.

One bloke who messaged me ages ago, arranged a date with me then cancelled re messaged me. He wanted to know if I was free Wednesday. I said I might be so he said please get back to me regarding wed and going for a drink. So I did and said I was free......no word since.

I'm watching Dating in the Dark. It's a bit supercilious but nevertheless it's also quite interesting in a wierd way.

watchoutforthatsnail · 29/08/2012 08:40

Sponge, argh. See, Its not your fault. Cant see how anyone thinks it can be. Glad you have a date, hopefully he wont be an arse.

Snape, pm is Jealous, It's obvious :) hope It's good news for the role :)

I'm ok, had a lovely day with dd yesterday. Haven't dumped him yet, because I am crap. He will not have seen it coming, and he sent a few texts yestetday about what a nice time he had had ( yes, because I funded a 3 day break for you!) And how much he likes me.
I think I'm just going to reply less and less, be ill this weekend ( looking forward to a weekend on my own) and then tell him ive done some thinking and It's not right. Or some such thing.
Cowardly? Yes.

Ive set up an okc and am chatting to someone on there, and rejoined the hellish pof and have been asked out by a rugby coaching south African who is uber manly and the anti thesis of Mrl. I think I'm going to go, for a laugh.

Spoke a bit to ywk who was distracted. Am not chasing him, don't care so said bye and hung up. Will leave ball in his court.

Lueji · 29/08/2012 08:50

Sponge, you should start a sponsored blog called
Waiting for a second date
Or
Never had a second date

Then have it made into a movie or a tv series.

:o

Lueji · 29/08/2012 08:54

Smiley failure. :o

watchoutforthatsnail · 29/08/2012 09:05

In fact, if anyone is Around and wants to look at the Profiles for me, pm me :)

OP posts:
Scattylatte · 29/08/2012 09:13

Madame O. Can you share your albeit untested theory on detecting the deviants from the profile please?
Watch. The SA rugby man sounds the complete opposite to Mr not so lovely. I was messaging a SA man a couple of weeks ago. Then spoke to him on the phone. He told me he had gone on a date the night before but she didn't look like her photo and and had bad breath. He then said he had a date that same night and she was 23. He was 36. He liked her but she didn't seem keen on him. Whilst giving me a breakdown of his future dates he was keen to go camping with me in Nov. it was just too much. But that's got nothing to do with him being from South Africa.
I've lived in SA however and I have found the men to be very straightforward.

watchoutforthatsnail · 29/08/2012 09:32

Yeah, I know a couple of sa,men myself.
They do tend to be like that, along with other traits.
Dont see the harm in a coffee though.

OP posts:
Scattylatte · 29/08/2012 10:23

Totally no harm in coffee, it is to be encouraged. However despite encouragement I struggle to get to the coffee stage!!

watchoutforthatsnail · 29/08/2012 10:33

Well, hes not been vetted by the dating committee yet.....

I got a ton of messages.... Asked for several dates, but all muppets.

OP posts:
mercury7 · 29/08/2012 10:37

sponge he may just be a bit cheeky...hope it goes well tonight:)
I was seeing a bloke from SA for a while last summer, he was nice but it didnt work out..I guess he was pretty straightforward!

watch I dont think it's cowardly, he'll surely notice if you are cooler with him then realise that perhaps things are no longer working for you.
No easy way to do it but everyone has break ups and he'll survive like we all do!

snapespeare · 29/08/2012 10:38

welcome to my major wobble. Sad hormones are everywhere. Sad

chin up! tits out!

Hmm
