Red shoes, charming lesbians and pirates with taste...Dating Thread 24

[ChaoticismyLife]

It's the best I could come up with

As you were...

But importantly its not dating its just research. You'll learn what you like, not be bothered if they want a second date or not because you'll be deciding if you want one and telling them before they have a chance to communicate.

Last one before I go out ... one of my very lovely friends - now in her early 60s - has just become engaged to a genuine gem she met on PoF. She's been internet dating for 8 years ...

scatty - gah. people like that annoy me. i dont think its through loving them to much, but from not having any boundaires and lack of training.

I doubt he will be coming round tomorrow, hes thrown up again, so it might not be until next weekend now as im busy in the week and so is he.Im not frustrated, its one of those things :) Im also not worried that its any kind of brush off and hes called me 3 times today so far :)

snape - fucker!!! good luck for the other one tomorrow.

Sponge - since we have a rather good profile, stick it on a few other more upmarket ones. It might take a bit longer, there isnt going to be the number of game players or men just after a shag. Just think how many messages on pof went knowhere.... but just one on here could be it.

(sponge. I dare you!!!)

thanks for asking MadameOvary :)

NL is lovely. I need to be careful because its not something that could become anything serious considering his age and my situation, trying and failing to maintain the 'just fun' mentality

Yoga Oh I seeee - you were reading the band posts

Sponge I am completely baffled. Are you on FB? Am very curious to see what you look like now! (Am picturing a bombshell-type)
Want to have a look on GS? I think I have about ten days membership left - have hidden my profile - but if you see anyone you like will message them for you and point them in your direction?
You have had interest...for your looks. They were obviously dismayed that you weren't of the cheery brainless ilk and were - shock someone with depth and intelligence.
I dunno. The Universe must have something very special in mind for you (apologies for Woo alert).

madame0 - it is baffling. sponge is lovely. there is absolutley NO reason why she has such appalling luck. Its just daft. makes no sense, AND that was a cracking profile too.

but god sponge - if you have the balls, id say go for the tv thing. You know, excellent story to tell/ remember when you are older :)

fate- haha, you LOVE him :)

Sponge. You have seemed absolutely fine recently without the OD crap so I think you will be just fine....
I was sitting aforementioned friends puppy today (bulldog) in a pub garden and got loads of male attention via dog. None of them hot but hey.

Sponge. If you read the reviews for my single friend the down points are lack of traffic

I am notebook wobbling. How to do it. Very tempted to throw presents at him and run at the moment. Think I can specify order of unwrapping, it goes (1) white chocolate mice (from the kids) (2) Stetson (3) notebook (4) me! but I am so tempted to just leave them by his flat door or with kindly neighbour for tomorrow night utterly shite it but i want to see his face for the mice/stetson (not so sure about notebook just now) or text him pic of the wrapped stuff on Monday (birthday) morning or, oh fuck. I dunno. This was all great fun when it wasn't so close. Now it's 48 hours until either my knickers are hanging from the light fitments or i lose a friend and we never speak again. Argh!!!!!

So Fate. Are the feelings reciprocated do you think? Hmmm?

Snape, are you truly prepared, either way? We're all emotionally invested and we will be gutted if PM doesn't leap on you, so I can't imagine how you will feel!

Snape I think you need to be there but I understand the wobble.

I would go for mid boozy night

Other presents first, get boozed and cosied up, then do the notebook

or am I just a romantic fool?

Little chance of booze, as a weeknight (& I'm so very broke!) I think I need to be there though dammit!

No, I'm not prepared at all. I just leafed through it and got a fuzzy-warm feeling, but that's me, I made the damn stupid thing.

...and I don't know if I want him drunk. I know booze lowers inhibitions, but I think I might need sobriety. Argh! ARGH!!! ARRRRRRGH!!!!!!!

Snape. Are you feeling any sense of relief at giving him the notebook?

At the moment it's just extreme trepidation. Last Saturday night he fell asleep at the station with his head on my lap and I stroked his hair and whispered endearments. I don't want to give that up. It's better than nothing...but it's poisonous. It eats away at me, I get ridiculously jealous when he's doing things without me, I always think he's meeting 'other' women, although he stresses he isn't looking for a relationship... I hate the thought of him with someone else. If we were a 'couple' I'd trust him, but because we aren't I have this sense of waiting for the other shoe to drop, all the time.

So while I hate the thought of this ending, it has to end. We're either 'it' or we ain't. It's time to be brave and look at the future. I can't quite decide whether the 'notebook of lurrrrrve/dooooooom' is a great idea or an awful idea, but it's a brave idea and that counts for something.

i think no booze and face to face is good. you must be incrediably nervous. BUT, the notebook is beautiful. He cant not like it. How could anyone fail to be touched by it?

Touched is one thing. Touched does not equate to 24 hours of catching up on the three years of fucking we should have been doing.

What feelings MadameO?

I will just do my thing and see what happens

Snape, I didn't mean drunk, but just in the situation you have described sometimes when you're cosied up together and holding hands and all that...

I don't think I'm brave enough to be hand holdy (& we are normally several sheets to the wind when we're tactile) without a good few single malts behind me and with all the will in the world, this is a BIG declaration. This is Hollywood sodding movie time. I am drew Barrymore. I can't hold his hand and have it dropped if it don't fly.
