goodthinking some of them are just time wasters! I wonder if he was married?

time sorry to sound so greedy but I often feel like I'm going to explode from lack of sex!

Also on another note. Fwb knew about my date and unfelt tried to put me off the idea as he knew I liked me wealthy! Last night he asked to come round for a chat! I asked if it was just a chat or a chat and sex! He said its not all about sex you know Hmm

Anyway I let him come round, told him all about my date! Spoke about other things! And Didn't sleep with him!! SmileSmileSmileSmileSmileSmile I am soooo proud of myself! I was horny and would have loved to have slept with him, but because I like mr wealthy I choose not to! Even thought the sex with fwb would have been very satisfying and familiar!! SmileSmile how good is that!! Wink

Also when I was out last weekend my friend brought a guy back to my house Confused and another guy came that I was talking to and I let him sleep in my bed and didnt sleep with him!!

I feel like there is a bit of self respect creeping back in here and I like it!! Grin

Hello Snape and ta for that. I know, it's only one way...but isn't the clue in the name...why bother with all that contact if you don't actually want to go on a date?

Rightyho, I'm off to Sainsbury's...Grin

Movingforward123 · 30/09/2012 21:33

time how long has it been since you had any action?

Havnt you ever wanted to sleep with any I your dates!

goodthinking late night shopping would be the best time as any guy shopping at this time is more then Lilly single Grin

My 3rd date with Mr Cheeky is going to be a 2 night stay in a hotel this Friday and Saturday ... If its going to be half as good as he is promising it is going to be fecking fantastic!!!

My STBXH was terrible in bed .. I wasn't allowed to initiate anything or touch him .. He even complained that the blowjobs weren't hard enough (suspect porn had something to do with this) .. Mr Cheeky is promising that my satisfaction is his goal .. I am practically wetting myself with excitement!!!

Sorry .. Had to share with someone .. Now how do I tell my mum who I am staying with just now that I am going on a dirty weekend (I am 44 btw)

Movingforward123 · 30/09/2012 21:44

kirsty wow I want that as my third date Grin I'm very Envy are you nervous? Tell her your visiting a friend Wink

MadameOvary · 30/09/2012 21:45

Snape - latest installmant is just gorgeous.
I am about to recieve a phone call from Science Boy - although he is not a boy at all, he is eight years older but looks ten years younger. Cant say too much about him as his place of work is unusual and I dont want to out myself

He struck me as so delightfully normal - didn't know what "vanilla" meant, had to explain the concept of "kink". A couple of times He said in wonder "God I'm boring" to which I said "No no you're not after all the weirdos I have known, boring is goooood"

I suddenly understand why women marry supposedly "boring" men. Click! Lightbulb moment!
Moving - good for you! Glad Mr Wealthy got back in touch Smile

Yogagirl17 · 30/09/2012 21:54

You know what? Great sex isn't all it's cracked up to be. As much as I hate to say it, XH was really good in bed and was still complete bastard. I'll settle for good sex with a great man. Smile

KirstyWirsty · 30/09/2012 22:04

moving I am cacking myself!!!

Yoga don't think I've ever had great sex .. I am hoping that I will be changing that this weekend :-)

hatesponge · 30/09/2012 22:06

Friend cancelled, computer remains virus-y ftb, so still posting from DS's blackberry. On the plus side I have now learned how to post from phone :)

goodthinking I have had loads of what can most politely be termed as timewasters. One I spoke to on phone and text loads, we arranged to meet 3 times and each one he cancelled. I've had others cancel at short notice, some I never heard from again after we swapped numbers, plus all the ones who I have dated and not seen for dust after!

There's no one reason why they don't go through with dates. Some are married/in relationships and doing it for ego boost without any intention of meeting, or want to meet but then have an attack of conscience over being cheating bastards. Some may have recently split, think they are ready to date and then realise they're not. Some have fake photos, for various reasons.

What it boils down to is that it's not you. Unfortunately, a lot of men are not what they seem. Hence why after one too many 1st dates that went nowhere I am on the sofa for the foreseeable :)

hatesponge · 30/09/2012 22:08

Yoga I agree. Sex was great (right from the first time) with the Evil Ex, had it been less great I probably would have split up with him a lot sooner.

OhWesternWind · 30/09/2012 22:09

Mme Science Boy sounds lovely. I think normal can be great too especially after the ex, who was on a different planet to normal.

It's really interesting reading about all your different attitudes to sex and realising I'm probably one of the less adventurous ones! I had a long, long time without any, far too long to admit to on here, but one thing that did for me was to make me realise there are other important things in life, that I can be happy without sex and also that I don't need to have sex to please other people if I'm not really into it myself.

I've also realised, and this is just me, that I'm happier waiting to have sex in a relationship or at least well on the way to one. And although I'm finding it a bit frustrating that I have only snogged him so far, another part of me is glad and I'm enjoying the build up. Anticipation rocks!!

OhWesternWind · 30/09/2012 22:11

Hello Sponge I've sent you a friend request on fb!

goodthinking99 · 30/09/2012 22:25

Hi Hatesponge, I think the sofa's maybe the best place for me too at the minute...six weeks of contact from three unavailable ego massage seeking numpties has done me in!

Glad to hear other people's adventures are going better though...3rd dates, eh? And what is this 'sex' you speak of? Grin

Yogagirl17 · 30/09/2012 22:35

Kirsty - here's hoping! Grin

Sponge - virusy computer aside, hope things are ok with u. x

Had quite a pleasant night in with my sofa (must remember to order slanket..)

Movingforward123 · 30/09/2012 22:36

well I have just spoke to mr wealthy. he said that i was seriously on his case the other night and i wouldnt let him sleep Blush oh crap i really cant drink around him again, i have sex manic tendencies and i dont want him to be put off by that. sober i can just about control them but drunk, i have no hope.

TimeForMeAndDD · 30/09/2012 22:55

Moving it's been over 3 years since I had any bedroom activity. Yes, 3 long years. BUT, I have only had 2 dates Grin and no, I didn't want to sleep with either of them, they were shocking! And I'm on the sofa now, lurking, and recovering from POF fatigue. Dating doesn't hold the same appeal in the Winter months, when it's cold, dark and raining, and when there are good drama's on tele Grin

Movingforward123 · 30/09/2012 23:06

well hopefully when you do find someone you want to sleep with it will be worth the wait Smile

Worley · 30/09/2012 23:12

how could you all keep the fb group secret for so long!! it's made me giggle!! I'm actually jealous I've never had any type photos sent to me!!!

mercury7 · 01/10/2012 00:02

jealous?
I'm sick to death of cock shots..vile simian behaviour
seriously i never respond to any men who use such crass approaches

DoingItForMyself · 01/10/2012 00:45

Just got back from date 2 with my POF date. Had chinese food at his house and loads of snogging.

I issued him with a challenge to see how long we could go without having sex, thinking we might manage a few more dates yet. We got to 11pm!

After a fairly one-sided session last time (him) he was adamant that tonight would be all about me, but I found it a bit too pressured and didn't feel relaxed enough (was great and all, but no happy ending for me!) Think I'll need to get to know him better before I feel totally ok with being naked in front of him.

Doesn't help that I saw photos of his (absolutely stunning large breasted blonde) ex on FB. He has told me she's not an issue, that he's really into me, but I do feel a bit intimidated having that as an act to follow.

I like him even more than I did after our first date though and we chatted loads and cuddled loads too, so its not entirely about the sex side of things for either of us. We both said we feel like we've known each other for ages and can't believe that we've just met.

He's talking about taking me away at the end of next month for a long weekend when the DCs are with their dad!

MadameOvary · 01/10/2012 00:53

Ooh Doing that sounds fab!
Moving how did he sound when he said you were on his case? Was it in a good "calmly stating boundaries" type way or was he irritable? Just wondering.

Had massive long chat with Science Boy. Arranged second date. Woo-hoo!

OhWesternWind · 01/10/2012 00:55

Just had some sexy texting with the lovely optician. Can't wait to see him on Tuesday !! Says he doesn't want to rush me into anything, so considerate and just plain nice and very very sexy Grin. Definitely good waiting and having this lovely build up of anticipation ...

OhWesternWind · 01/10/2012 00:58

Doing well done for getting to 11 pm - sounds great like you've really clicked.

So when's the hot date Mme O?

OhWesternWind · 01/10/2012 01:01

Doing btw don't worry about his ex. Sex isn't really about what people look like, not unless it's a ONS type situation, and I can bet you he's not thinking about her when he's with you, whatever she looks like. Attraction is about so many things as well as looks.

Movingforward123 · 01/10/2012 07:48

madame he didn't sound irritated more like jokey and also maybe wanted to let me know that he was tired! So I'm guessing maybe a little intimidated!! Next time I am not drinking! That's what happens when I do! Confused
