just marking a place...
so last week my guy I'd been seeing sent me the text as was his wedding anniversary and needed to get away for a while to work things out blah blah.. well he went to reading festival.. and got back mon.. he texted me yesterday to ask how i was and if he could ring me that eve and if so what time was best.. anyway.. I fell asleep woke up checke phone and he hadn't rung.. but he texted later to apologise to say he'd fell asleep with his kids on settee as reading had taken it out of him... and could he ring me tomorrow (today) .. I said ok but not given a time. in actually out tonight seeing a friend. but am I ok to be a little pees off he fell asleep. I know it's knackering being at a festival for four days and then he had his kids (which I know come first) but he texted me and asked to ring..
he says he's had time to think now... but hasn't said what he's thought about and descions he came to.
am I being silly and readin too much into all this... it's knot been 6-7 weeks. my friends say just take it as it comes and hear him out.

Worley · 29/08/2012 14:55

sorry that was a long marking my place !!

lubeybooby · 29/08/2012 14:58

Hi all, placemarking. Have another evening and night with blokeychap tomorrow, I've only just recovered from last time!

Lovingfreedom · 29/08/2012 15:04

I think it's pretty annoying when someone says they are going to ring and then they don't. But people do fall asleep. Up to you...just don't give him too many chances. Yeah his kids come first...but you don't have to put up with someone who says he's going to ring but doesn't. Likewise...tolerate him falling asleep say once...but if it keeps happening...rethink. If you're doing something else tonight anyway, I'd be tempted to tell him that it's not convenient to ring and tell him when is.

MadameOvary · 29/08/2012 15:09

Falling asleep wouldn't irritate me as much as "needing time to think" because of a wedding anniversary. He's clearly not over his ex.

snapespeare · 29/08/2012 15:13

worley what a PITA he is! yes it's knackering being at a festival for four days (& well done for getting over your wedding anniversary mate, by getting pissed up in a field and acting like a 20 year old for 4 days (& obviously if any of us want to do that, the double standard is just fine!) and all this 'i've thought about 'things' and come to a decision'... bollocks to that. drip feeding motherfucker! grr!

I'm flirting with everyone. i just flirted with the lift maintenance guy. good grief.

Lovingfreedom · 29/08/2012 15:25

I agree with snapespeare. He does sound like a PITA who assumes that he can do what he likes, you'll run to him whatever his 'decision' is.

watchoutforthatsnail · 29/08/2012 15:30

I'd say if he needed time to think. Then hes not ready to be dating/ seeing you..id be awfully offended if that was me.

Snape, flirting is good :)what time you meeting him?

Not heard from mrl today, just one fb comment, very unusual. But good.

Worley · 29/08/2012 15:30

flirting is good for the soul; for you and whoever your flirting with. spreads a little happiness..
I know... he is drip feeding. I had got used to the idea that I wouldn't hear from him again. and I wasn't about to give in and text him even though I do really like him. stupidly. I wish I didn't would make I easier. it's always the ones I actually like that are complicated and have issues. why !!!!
why whatever it is he can't just text and get it over with instead I having to talk to me I don't know. maybe he thinks I'm not that bothered now as I havnt chased him at all and not sent texts like we did when we first met.

snapespeare · 29/08/2012 15:36

watch that is good, but beware the slightly aspergic and their communication problems! (I haven't heard from PM today either... Hmm)

meeting tehprof at 5 at the scene of the first kiss. it's fucking freezing out and I am wearing a skirt. He offered to walk up to meet me at work with an umbrella, a sI dont believe in them. I dont want him to know where i work. this is FUCKED UP!

Lovingfreedom · 29/08/2012 15:38

Reverse the thinking on this if you can. It's up to him to tell you why you should bother with him, not the other way around....he needs to do the chasing or he'll miss the prize. ...he sounds boring and a bit of a drag....NEXT!!!!!!

Yogagirl17 · 29/08/2012 15:45

NicholasTeakozy · 29/08/2012 15:58

Worley, as the others say, he's a pita. Drop him.

If you want the Surefire Method? say so. I'll send it via pm.

Hmm this thread sounds like it could be worth lurking on...

Worley · 29/08/2012 16:05

oh go then Nicholas... is it really sure fire ??

Lovingfreedom · 29/08/2012 16:06

Lesson 1 is: HE is the lucky one. Make sure he knows that.

snapespeare · 29/08/2012 16:08

dont bother reading back over the previous 20 threads - you'll be here for a week. someone will do a summary, I'm sure (not me, I'm too busy wobbling...)

Technoviking · 29/08/2012 16:11

Oh I wasn't going to read back, that would require effort.
I'll hang about and try to catch the gist.
Stop wobbling, you're making me dizzy.

snapespeare · 29/08/2012 16:12

I can pirouette if thats any better? Grin

OhWesternWind · 29/08/2012 16:12
