I want to know what Nicholas's tip was ... and the last thread was full!

His profile is very short. So nothing that I can really comment on!

I don't really know what to say. As normally wouldn't tell a guy I think he is attractive! How can I phrase it? Confused

mercury7 · 03/09/2012 22:02

I'd just say that his photo caught my eye, or I liked his profile I wouldnt flatter him too much, just give him an opening and let him come to you if he's interested Wink

Yogagirl17 · 03/09/2012 22:14

If he's that hot he probably knows it so I would say something quite cheeky/sarcastic.

I finally told MrTall that although I found him both charming and sexy I just couldn't cope with the distance & running around right now and got a lovely reply saying it was a shame as I was "a breath of fresh air from the usual"

And I am very deliberately flirting with last night's date to try and take my mind off Mr60 (which I know is wrong on many levels but it is definitely working)

lol.. lueji..that's true.. people dont believe when I tell them the opposite to which a medium has told them.. eg.. I saw one (not intentionally - long story) and they told me I would be married by now and gave me the jnitals of said personI havnt even met any one for a ltr yet let alone consider marriage.

OhWesternWind · 03/09/2012 22:25

Well, my nice man off Match is on the back burner for a while. He is lovely but seems to have a lot of crap going on in his life that he needs to sort out, so I've decided I am not going to waste any more time or emotion trying to second guess things with him. If he pops up again in a few days then great but I'm not sitting here pining. (Oh I do like him though!).

Have spent a happy hour online looking at possibilities - one or two hopefuls there and finally found a reasonably attractive, educated and professional man on PoF - wonders will never cease!

OhWesternWind · 03/09/2012 22:35

I just don't believe it - once again as soon as I come on here to say I'm going to leave it, up he pops! So I know what to do next time Grin

fayster · 04/09/2012 07:31

I wonder if that will work for me, nothing from my Sunday date at all yesterday, whereas befor the date he was messaging every day. Humph.

Worley · 04/09/2012 07:47

after not being able to sleep all night I rejoined POF and there are absolutely no new men on there since I left two months ago !!! oh well..

Yogagirl17 · 04/09/2012 09:05

Interesting article in the HuffingtonPost

snapespeare · 04/09/2012 10:17

yoga what a lovely article that it. thanks for sharing it! :)

Yogagirl17 · 04/09/2012 10:23

Hi snape! Just finished Saturday's Dr Who - did you watch Pond Life? I want an Ood.

snapespeare · 04/09/2012 10:46

oh I loved saturdays DW - I was really upset by the last 'Pond Life' ('noooooo! not Rory and Amy!' ) Rory always makes me so sad ( i

Yogagirl17 · 04/09/2012 10:50

LOL Snape, I was thinking more of having him do the cooking & cleaning! Then again...

snapespeare · 04/09/2012 10:56

someone that does all the cooking and cleaning? the term you are looking for is 'husband' Wink or 'sex-slave' Shock

Yogagirl17 · 04/09/2012 11:11

Yeah, I had one of those once (the husband, not the sex slave). Didn't work out so well. Sadly, whoever gets him next will have a better trained version than I got as I believe he has now been forced to learn to use complicated machinery like hoovers and irons. I'd settle for a sex slave. Speaking of which, I'm off to flirt some more Sunday's date - it seems to be having the desired effect of keeping my mind off Mr60!!

snapespeare · 04/09/2012 11:21

Grin you flirt away - bloody past-dalliances and their over-reaching power! the problem as i see it is some kind of immediate comparison system where we remember the good times better than the bad times, so compare/contrast new people unfavourably.

In other news, I have job interview on thursday - eep! I think PM is flirting with me. Hmm potentially seeing the prof for dinner on friday. leg is really swollen and i was stopped two times on five minute walk this morning to congratulate tattoo. it's like being famous.

OhWesternWind · 04/09/2012 11:25

Soooo lots of texting, heavy duty flirting (nice), compliments, winks and messages online, talk about when we meet up - but nothing about actually fixing another date. Is he just messing me around? I know he has a lot of crap going on re divorce settlement stuff but can't really see why this is causing problems. Should I just come out with it and ask him if he wants to meet up again?

I hate all this!

Yogagirl17 · 04/09/2012 11:26

Ooh - PM flirting! That is Smile not Hmm!

Good luck with interview - could use some good job interview karma myself. Or rather just some good job karma as no interviews lined up despite a zillion applications.

Funnily enough, last night's flirting by text involved a discussion about tattoos even though neither of have one.

snapespeare · 04/09/2012 11:37

interview is a temporary promotion in an area i'm fairly expert on (can't say too much...) so am quite hopeful. just need to find something to wear to cover tattoos and remember to dye my hair so i look vaguely sensible...

...dont know if he is or isnt - Hmm we were texting last night, DD had to have some hospital tests, I stick a brave face on it and only really talk to PM about how horrible it felt, so he replied with an offer of a hug and to come with next time, i responded that results weren't due for a while, so trying to not think about it too much... he replied with, 'I'm always here, We'll find ways to take our minds off things'

Hmm

does that mean sex?

Confused
snapespeare · 04/09/2012 11:38

ohwestern cant you manipulate him into asking you out? 'how's the rest of your week looking?'

OhWesternWind · 04/09/2012 12:21

I want him just to ask me

snapespeare · 04/09/2012 12:32

he will ask you - you just need to MAKE him ask you! :)

scattylatte · 04/09/2012 13:02

good news about interview snape!
I hate all that to and fro chat that goes on. "hi, hows your day" sort of thing. I try and force them to ask me out quickly, generally by being manipulative. However, when I have done it, they have more than often disappeared!
So in my skimpy in box this week we have:
Engineer: Likes biking, is a boob man (!), runs a company. But is wearing VERY tight trousers in his photo.
Irish man: Nice. Likes travelling and his garden. No dodginess so far.
Man who surfs. Spends all weekends in his van at the beach. I like that. Short at 5ft 6. I am 5ft 9.

Recent disappearers
Man who admitted he just wanted to get into "chat". He has informed me today he has found someone to talk dirty with. GREAT!

snapespeare · 04/09/2012 13:06

This weeks in-box sounds like it has potential scatty Irish man and surf man = :) tight trousers is a Hmm

ahw at chat-man. it's nice when someone gets what they want, isnt it. Hmm Wink

Yogagirl17 · 04/09/2012 13:06

Ahem, Snape, you're very good at giving advice, aren't you?

You need to make him say it...ringing any bells?

Next time PM says "We'll find a way to take our mind off things" you reply with "Oh yes, what did you have in mind?? wink, wink, bat eyelashes..."
