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

Good luck for both of you with the jobs and with the men.
I've just been made unemployed for reasons that I don't fully understand, but have an idea for a potentially money-making website. However the research is taking longer than I expected, & is harder work than working.

NicholasTeakozy · 06/09/2012 13:06

Western, don't worry. He will be as nervous as you.

Snape, good luck with the job and even better luck with PM. If he's got any sense...

snapespeare · 06/09/2012 13:08

oh of course he has no sense! I shall corner him in the jacuzzi and demand an explanation as to why he thinks he's a twat. :-)

bit more nervous about job as time passes. last interviewee was at 12. they'll be out by now. big bosses will be talking about me!

HauntedLittleLunatic · 06/09/2012 13:24

And when he stutters and stumbles and can't find the words you are going to lean over and ask him if its because he wants 'this' as you smog his face off :o

HauntedLittleLunatic · 06/09/2012 13:25

*snog

snapespeare · 06/09/2012 13:30

Grin i can smog.

hatesponge · 06/09/2012 13:45

snape good luck with the job. And with PM - although you don't need luck for that, you just need him to be ever so slightly braver Grin

I don't get nervous about the bedroomy stuff. Probably because I know inevitably I will never see them again Hmm so it doesn't matter...and it's not like men are ever interested in my mind, or my personality. Though it would make a nice change if they were!

Lovemy3kids · 06/09/2012 14:22

Ok - so after posting on here yesterday I took your advice and re-did my profile on POF. I made it honest, said what i was looking for and what i wasn't looking for in a humourish kinda way, changed my profile pic......and have been chatting to a couple of guys - one's even asked me on a date which sadly I cannot make as I cannot get a babysitter ......so THANK YOU for your advice :) Grin

LadyGoodDiver · 06/09/2012 14:36

if it was a baring date I'd feel bleugh
ok I know I'm somewhat out of touch but what is a baring date? Is this something I should be doing now? Grin No chance of me getting in a tizz, it's not exactly overflowing with good men over a certain age so the way I see it as anyone who might suit who I could fancy is worth a go. Haven't even spoken to second one, just (good) messaging. Also now have another lined up for next week which is most unusual but I know its just because I'm back on the site after a break.

Scattylatte · 06/09/2012 16:40

LGD: you are missing out on nothing! I meant boring...Its hard. Dating is hard. I cant even bring myself to go on a date so I mustnt be ready. My inbox is now at:
POF
Detective who only seems to wear short sleeved shirts. The wide sleeve ones. He has already put me off by asking me if "they let me near people" when I mentioned my job....ugh

Another copper who rides a motorbike and wears batman T shirts. Those 2 credentials are ok but he has mentioned his retirement in the second message. At 43 I am YOUNG!! I dont think retirement.

Funny young 33 year old who used to live in a van but now lives with his folks and seems to have a few kids.

man on motorbike who spends the weekends surfing. We only do one word messages. Today was about its too nice to work. Hes ok.

WW2 fanatic wants to meet but Im not enthustastic as I think he might be set in his ways

Engineer..partying in all his photos. Sent me a message saying he is so busy at work but could meet for a coffee. He will have a tea while I sip coffee. He hasnt been in contact since.

tall plumber

Thats it. I sent a message to a couple way out of my league, leaning on sports care and heard nothing back.

Good luck with the interview results Snape
Sponge: You are as jaded as me I feel
I dont worry about getting phsyical. I just do it.

Lueji · 06/09/2012 17:15

Nice selection, Scatty. Confused

The copper would be eliminated on account of the batman t-shirts.
(although Mr K would have been too if his profile picture showed the colour combo he displayed last Sunday. The jury is still out on this one. I may have to educate him about colour coordination... That's what women are for, right? :o)

Retirement might not be such a problem. Does he have any plans? I wouldn't like someone who would be always at home, unless he intended to become a SAHP.

I haven't seen Mr K since last Sat morning. And won't until tomorrow, possibly. But DS is sleeping at sis on sat and I'll spend the night then.

Today he has said that a birdwatching event (Oct) might be interesting. That remains to be seen. I think he's just interested in spending the weekend together. Hmm

And for some reason these days I'm listening more to Wet Wet Wet on my iPod, than to Green Day. Blush

Yogagirl17 · 06/09/2012 17:37

What about the tall plumber Scatty? Tall's not my thing but I like a man who knows what to do with his hands. Wink

No contact from Mr Stax since Monday night despite my attempt to up the flirting. I think we still have a date on Sunday night. Not really bothered either way.

Talking to a new guy on OKC, has a couple of kids, been divorced 2 years, decent job...we'll see.

and still missing Mr60 but not going to talk about that anymore

LadyGoodDiver · 06/09/2012 18:02

Scattylatty no one is ever out of your league, especially if they are leaning on a sports car which is my pet hate as the type that advertises like that are often after a replacement domestic appliance wife to go with it.

snapespeare · 06/09/2012 21:17

Shat it. He'd mentioned he was 'off-sex' on the drive up to the gym. sigh couldn't find the car at the end of gym, ' I can't think straight, you're very distracting'... He's off to the coast for the weekend again (which I hate) told him I was thinking of binning the prof (I'm not, I'm keeping him as a fuck-puppet on the sly...) he smiled.

Coming around to the idea that we are 'just' friends. Would rather he was in my life than not, but this is so fucking hard. No-one will get that we're close, I don't want that to change. Ever. Sad don't think it's gonna work out. Bollocks.

Yogagirl17 · 06/09/2012 21:22

Hang on - who said "I can't think straight, you're very distracting"?

snapespeare · 06/09/2012 21:25

Me Sad. Olympian gold medal winning flirtation.

Can't be arsed with the prof, it's 80% smut, theres a damn sight more to me than kinky fuckery. that said might have a booty call next week

Yogagirl17 · 06/09/2012 21:40

Ok, in all seriousness, I do get that. He's a hugely important part of your life and you don't want to lose that, no matter what. Even if it means accepting that he doesn't feel for you what you want him to. That would hurt. But what you're doing to yourself now is no good either. What do you think would happen if you just said to him (as terrifying as it wounds), "Do you think we could ever be more than just friends?". I don't mean, what would his answer be - cause if you knew that for sure then you wouldn't have this problem. I mean, would he run a mile? Would he try and pretend he had a sudden and complete loss of hearing? Or do you think he would be able to at least give you a straight answer?

Yogagirl17 · 06/09/2012 21:42

oops - sounds not wounds!

snapespeare · 06/09/2012 21:56

Actually can't post. Too difficult. We had that conversation two years ago, still I'm here, I've made a choice. Sad

Yogagirl17 · 06/09/2012 22:07

But that was 2 years ago...? Do you feel your relationship is the same now as it was then? If nothing's changed, what prompted this recent frenzy/honeytrap/should I/shouldn't I?

hatesponge · 06/09/2012 22:19

Oh Snape ((hug-type thing)) in my movie version it's all gone a bit FWAAF Fiona and Charles :(

Just remember I am only down the road, and would be happy to stand you a skinny latte/large slice of cake/strong alcoholic beverage* and a less virtual hug any time :)

Taghain · 06/09/2012 22:41

snape that's really a hard thing to hear.

You know him, I don't, but could he have said that he's off sex because he doesn't want you to think that he's after your body?
When I was much younger and friends with a girl whom I adored but daren't make advances to, I also used to pretend not to be interested. Is it an act of insecurity and uncertainty, or real disinterest?

Scattylatte · 07/09/2012 07:39

Snape. Hope you get good news regarding your interview. You have your regular Job as fall back which means win win which is the best position to be in.

The dept of your feelings struck a cord with me when you wrote 'metaphorically I go to sleep with my hand on (PM's) heart' when you were off to see the prof.

Does the prof do anything for you other than the Kinkery?

I don't know what to suggest regarding PM. I've never been in a position where I have a very good relationship minus sex with a man and where he has really liked me too. Only you know the situation and I guess you 'come to terms' with whatever it is today. A hug anyway.

My inbox is so lack lustre I've cleared it. None of them really do it for me.

Lueji · 07/09/2012 08:16

Snape, picking up on Sponge's Charlie and Fiona, I think you have to decide how to move.
It's not healthy.

Either clarify your relationship, but that means opening you heart to him, or forget him and move on.

I don't think it's healthy for him, because he does seem hung up on you too.
And if you can't be true friends with him, nor girlfriend, then it's best to put some distance.

Yogagirl17 · 07/09/2012 08:45

morning snape - just hope your ok xx
