How do I hide my Pof profile?

Mr intense that I had a few dates with a slept with, well his pregnant girlfriend just called me! I really didn't see that one coming!

snapespeare · 24/09/2012 21:16

moving good grief! I'm not on pof, so can't help, but what a sodding nightmare! I'm going to hide my OKC I think, reasoning that I'm only really there as the honey trap & if the trap-ee isn't thre at the mo, there's little point in it...

snapespeare · 24/09/2012 21:17

Are you ok moving?!

Yogagirl17 · 24/09/2012 21:27

Oh moving, that's awful! What did she say? Are you ok?

mercury7 · 24/09/2012 22:29

omigosh moving, probably best not to communicate at all with either of them?
you've not done anything wrong just duck right out and let them deal with their own lives

Movingforward123 · 24/09/2012 22:37

I'm ok, I didn't even like him and stopped talking to him a few weeks ago!

But he knows where I live and told me when we met he has a crazy ex! So I'm not sure if any trouble will come to my door!

So I've tried to call him to tell him that I don't want him telling this girlfriend my address or anything! We all live very close to each other and I work in the area too!

And was then going to tell him not to contact m again! Bug he didn't answer!

hatesponge · 24/09/2012 23:07

moving bloody hell! what did she say? I'd be lost for words - I can't believe he was the one chasing you and all along he had a GF! just goes to show you cant trust anyone OD, they're all full of shit...

snape ((())) and sympathies - my DS1 is also 14, it is v up and down here, he missed quite a few days school at the end of last term, I couldn't get to the bottom of whether it was Xbox taking over his life, or if there was more to it. He doesn't quite fit in sometimes. And there is the not knowing his real dad thing (and not getting on with the Evil Ex) which is a whole other issue in itself. This term has been ok, but I feel on tenterhooks much of the time tbh.

Scattylatte · 24/09/2012 23:26

Moving. That is awful. What a twat. If any trouble arrives at your door just call the police.
I'm with sponge on this one. OD is full of shit

mercury7 · 25/09/2012 00:00

people are full of shit
shit happens
nothing new there..same old shit
same shit, different day :o

Yogagirl17 · 25/09/2012 09:06

mercury, I'm sensing our next thread title in there somewhere

watchoutforthatsnail · 25/09/2012 09:16

Moving- my god, are you ok? Bloody hell. What did you say to his gf??? What an utter shit.

mercury7 · 25/09/2012 10:13

lol @ Yoga:o
no no!
It should be, online dating is shit hot, everyone gets just what they need.
Self fulfilling prophecy, aka cosmic ordering..we must have positive expectations!

watchoutforthatsnail · 25/09/2012 10:47

Lol at ' online dating is shit hot'
:)

Scattylatte · 25/09/2012 10:55

You could be correct with the self fulfilling prophecy. I can attempt to change my attitutde to thinking OD is shit hot. I can, I can!

Snape, how are you today?

Watch, any news from beard?

Sponge, did the snogger follow it up with anything?

Moving- hope you are ok

OhWesternWind · 25/09/2012 11:06

Moving - bloody hell, what a horrible thing to happen. Hope you're okay, not too shaken up.

Snape - sorry to hear about your problems with ds. Nothing's ever straighforward, is it, and it can be really hard to carry on coping with this sort of thing when you're on your own with no adult back-up on hand. Hope things are better today.

Watch - are you on with Mr Beard later this week?

I did some cosmic ordering for some money (quite a large sum) and bloody hell, it's worked! I didn't believe in it and tbh I do think it's all a co-incidence, but still . . . It looks like I should be able to clear off my debts by the end of this year thank goodness. So maybe I'll try it for a man . . .

mercury7 · 25/09/2012 11:07

couple of days ago (without consciously meaning to) I sort of slid off the sofa, put my pictures up on the 'down and dirty' girls date for free site.
Had lots of offers, some of which may be worth pursuing:o

Seriously considering checking them out of skype first.
ANYTHING to avoid the terrible sinking feeling when you come face to face with a man who you just dont fancy

watchoutforthatsnail · 25/09/2012 11:44

Western, thats fab :)

I have heard from him today, so, we shall see. Meanwhile mrl has asked my dress/ underwear size as hes shopping for my birthday......

Yogagirl17 · 25/09/2012 12:14

Ok, someone tell me how to do this cosmic ordering stuff because I've reached the grasping at straws stage!

snapespeare · 25/09/2012 12:34

bit better. DS1 off to school today - now DD is dogging-off sigh it's like a relay race...

something is up with PM - think he's feeling a bit low ( I can just tell, there are tiny signs, but I kind of know) but I am going out for drinks with my journalist friend tonight (does not mention notebook...) rather than go to the gym with him. havent seen him for a week, another day will --be horrid- not matter.

Notebook -wise, i thought i had lost it yesterday Shock it turned up down the side of the sofa - I am currently doing more research - the trouble with song lyrics and poetry is that they can sometimes be a little too close to the heart and look a little strange when they're written down.

watch scratchy red nylon and anne summers crotchless...

snapespeare · 25/09/2012 12:36

mercury Grin at 'slid(ing) off the sofa'

watchoutforthatsnail · 25/09/2012 14:04

Thats what I'm expecting... Tbh id far rather a nice cushion, or a jumper....

Could pm just be tired from the new job?

snapespeare · 25/09/2012 14:20

'keep your agent provocateur skimpies! i want a slanket!'

yeah, he's a bit tired, i think, but I know the signs of a low. I'll see him tomorrow. :)

watchoutforthatsnail · 25/09/2012 14:34

I have a slanket. Maybe some slippers...

snapespeare · 25/09/2012 14:43

one can never have too many slankets.

I have been reading trent reznor lyrics on my lunchbreak. i want to kill everyone. :) I have departed from 'i want to fuck you like an animal' Hmm as maybe not being quite as romantic as it could be... I am now down with 'A thousand lips, a thousand tongues, a thousand throats, a thousand lungs, A thousand ways to make it true...I want to do terrible things to you'

'terrible' in this context meaning Blush filthy...

OhWesternWind · 25/09/2012 14:50

Mercury - if you Skype them, do you think it'll just encourage them to come over all unnecessary? At least if you meet them in public they have to behave reasonably well . . . Not sure if you can tell if there's "chemistry" off Skype either - it's all to do with pheremones innit Wink
