Oooh thanks snape :o that's going to make interesting reading back!

watchoutforthatsnail · 14/09/2012 16:47

Oh joy, a year of dating disasters in one handy place.... Cheers snape... :)

Though a quick flick through reminds me It's a year since mr epic sex and the sink breaking incident :)

Scattylatte · 14/09/2012 16:52

Low slung likes mountain biking and prefers a mountain bike to a road bike. He has asked which one I prefer. He has also used the word "ungentlemanly" in a sentence, in a good way. Im clinging onto the crumbs of internet dating

Sponge: When my friend said temp flatmate was a prick, I thought of you. Now, had he been rather handsome I would have been upset that contact dried up and wondered why. Now I hear the other side of the story it turns out he wasnt for me at all! And he may even be a twit. So Mr Sat may be exactly the same and he reeeally isnt worth any more thought (in case you were thinking)

HauntedLittleLunatic · 14/09/2012 16:52

I guess this is the 21305th dating post then (if all threads have exactly 1000 posts and nobody cross posts with me and my maths is right).

snapespeare · 14/09/2012 17:05

i joined on dating thread three. think of all the fun you were having before I pitched up! Wink Grin

Yogagirl17 · 14/09/2012 17:13

Wow - I can't believe I only joined at number 20 (although I think i was stalking at 19). I dread to think what went on in the first 19,000 posts. ShockGrin

Success with my conundrum thanks to watch!! He's written back. I think he's french so will cleverly dub him the Frenchman (sorry, brain cells not up for more today). He says he's finishing off some work but he's delighted I got in touch and will write more later.

hatesponge · 14/09/2012 17:16

bloody hell, can't believe it was a year since Part 1 of the thread.

I have just skimmed 1 and 2 for my own posts. I can't believe how light-hearted and happy I sound. That's what a years worth of OD does I guess Hmm

Scattylatte · 14/09/2012 17:18

ive started readling them from episode number 1. Thanks Snape!

Worley · 14/09/2012 17:22

I have a date tonight :) with someone who actually used to live less than ten doors away from me! but I didn't know him then. he's moved now but we would have been so close to each other! he only lives 5 mins walk away now do we're meeting at our local village pub... in actually quite nervous ! and I've managed three weeks not the so months I said I was going to give myself ;)

Worley · 14/09/2012 17:23

6months I meant not so !

watchoutforthatsnail · 14/09/2012 17:38

Sponge, yep. Proof It's time to have a little break :)

Good luck worley

And yay yoga. I am super sleuth!

hatesponge · 14/09/2012 17:57

watch I know. Am going to give it up for at least a month, no profiles or anything, and reassess how I'm feeling then. If by some miracle I meet someone in RL then I will still go on dates, but I'm not getting back into OD anytime soon. Hopefully I might recover a little of my former joie de vivre :)

MirandaWest · 14/09/2012 17:57

I wonder when I joined in?

watchoutforthatsnail · 14/09/2012 18:20

Hurrah sponge.
:(
You get serious amounts of rl interest anyway, I on the other Hand get none...:(

I expect you will be feeling tons better very soon, It's just the cycle of crapness bringing you down..

ChaoticismyLife · 14/09/2012 18:24

Evening :)

I've just been looking at some of the previous threads. I was on the first three and then took a break until number 11 and you've been stuck with me ever since HmmGrin

ChaoticismyLife · 14/09/2012 18:29

sponge from reading this thread I'd say you're being wise to give od a break. Concentrate on yourself for a bit, pamper/treat yourself and enjoy being on your own.

watch see ykw is being his twatty self. Dump Mrexl completely, he isn't going to change. He can't even get his priorities right.

TessoftheAngels · 14/09/2012 19:28

Scatty he text me about half hour after the date and said how much he'd enjoyed it and could I please text him to let him know I got home ok. We have been texting most of the day. We are going to meet up again, I just need to work out when I can do it because of dc. With regards to the fwb situation, we have already talked about the fact that i'm not sure i'm ready for a full on relationship. He said he would rather be friends than have a one night stand so I suggested fwb. We are going to see how it goes. I'm off to check my diary Wink
Snape thanks for the link to previous threads, think I started lurking about thread 8 or 9 Smile

Scattylatte · 14/09/2012 20:20

Tess. That's good to hear. It sounds fairly seamless and that's how I envisage it to be. Whereas the texting I've done has been clunky and disjointed....they aren't that into me.

Myself and low slung are discussing bikes. Mountain bikes

OhWesternWind · 14/09/2012 20:29

Tess that sounds great, so happy for you that everything went so well. Hope you can sort out the logisitics soon to see him again. What did you say to suggest fwb? Did you just come out and say it?

Yogagirl17 · 14/09/2012 20:31

Scatty are you into mountain bikes?

Tess - sounds really positive. Smile

Snape - thanks, now I have something to read if I can't sleep tonight! Hope your night with PM goes well and your hand accidentally ends up on his cock

Scattylatte · 14/09/2012 20:34

No I've no real interest in mountain bikes.

I'm interested in the Tess approach to the fwb too. I'm nosy!

OhWesternWind · 14/09/2012 20:52

Worley hope all goes well for you tonight - come back and tell us nosy cows what you have been up to so we can get some vicarious excitement!

TessoftheAngels · 14/09/2012 21:18

My approach to the fwb thing... Well, we were just chatting, he said he wanted a relationship..i said i'm not sure i'm ready yet. So he said he was happy to be friends until i felt ready. We then did a bit of flirting and i jokingly said about him only wanting me for my body..he said he wasn't into ons, so i said something along the lines of not having any fun for a long time and that friends can have 'fun' and as we are friends...and he agreed. I am slightly concerned that he seems more emotionally invested than me though. But like said, we are going to see how it goes
Would it be totally wrong to have daytime sex coffee at my house as logistically easier Grin

OhWesternWind · 14/09/2012 21:26

Daytime any sex sounds wonderful! You go girl.
