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

[ChaoticismyLife]

It's the best I could come up with

As you were...

FWIW, my bloke was over-thinking stuff and worrying about how often we should see each other and whether it was all too much etc, but his freaking out actually made me back off and has made me a bit guarded, whereas he is now all guns blazing, I am trying to keep a little bit of my heart to myself just in case.

He is now wishing he hadn't taken it all so seriously and started to question things as it didn't change anything about how he felt, but it has put a little dent in it for me which will take a while to smooth out.

I think the best advice is just relax, enjoy it for what it is and see what happens. Make it clear what you would like and what you're not comfortable with, but don't try to act in a way that isn't natural for you. If that's what it takes to keep him happy he's not for you. The right man will want you with all your crazies!

madameo. You do know that's a load of guff, don't you?! I always try to act with integrity and kindness. I'm the only person, who no matter what shitty mood I am in brightly 'good-mornings' my regular big issue sellers on the walk to work, I am a good person, I continually get fuzzy-ended lollipops. (Sigh)

So I've been to tesco and bought myself a bottle of wine & several beers! and I will toast PMs good health and think kind thoughts and wait for the other sodding shoe to drop.

Right, I've texted him and asked if he'd like to go out for a drink maybe Wednesday. I'll let you know what happens ...

Feeling nervous for some reason, stupid sex hormones probably dropping a bit low and I need a top-up ...

one of you, you know who you are, even if I don't you sly name-changer you has just made my day on fb with an amazon gift voucher to buy myself some shoes that don't leak.

Thank you for being so very kind and making me cry being so thoughtful. It really does mean the world to me that people can be so bloody lovely when i am feeling a bit up against it and unloved. promise to not spend it on booze or art materials.

Evening all. I've only just caught up!

Right. Apologies if I miss anyone out.

Sponge - I'm liking your POF criteria. Hardcore. And I get the not wanting to pay for the subscription, I signed up to eHarmony to do the personality profile and it doesn't let you breathe without flogging the subscription bit! Mind you, the profiles can be quite good..

Welcome Pixie

Watch - Fingers crossed his actions back him up. Good on you for calling him on it. :)

Miranda - Hooray that the parents and DC liked him!

EiePie - It could count as employment. I can see my advisor now Communication with others, building up network of contacts & enhancing computer understanding - in particular internet skills.

Fayster - Get you with the 19 year old!

Lubey - LOL at "purchases of doooom" I have an eyewateringly expensive underwear set languishing in a drawer somewhere.

Yoga - Yay that the interview and presentation went well! And ChickenSoup boy too!

Western - no advice really, the advice from others is sound though. Do what you feel is best at the end of the day.

MadameO - I like that quote of yours. Might write it in my notebook of quotes remember it for another time.

Now I've the most horrendous feeling I've forgotten someone.

Western - got everything crossed for you!

Doing that's good advice. I think I'm a bit like that.

Seeing as you were on about shoes, I thought you might like to see what I've purchased today. These little beauties look lovely on, they're comfy.

Anyway, Snape, all the best with the notebook, and to those of you looking forward to seeing potentially significant others.

Bugger I missed Snape! Knew it would happen to someone..

Right.

How's your head now? Yay for nice people. :)

Aw Snape, that's so lovely.

Ok, stoopid question - how do you do the Smileys? I can't even find the instructions.

snape - and snapes giver, you are both lovely people.Karma eventually comes round. you both deserve good things :)
I think partly the reason this thread has lasted so long is that it is good support for us all, somewhere we can offload with people who ' know' us, and the advice is sound ( the best, actaually).
love to all.
;)

mac - when are you seeing your date again?

so - i heard a big thud on the doormat, and wondered wtf it was. It was a big envelope, with a card, from pirate, wishing me all the best for my first day in new job tomorrow, telling me i will be fab, and to enjoy it ( and the free lunches)

then, on a slip of paper in it he has written:

dear watcg

Please come to my house this saturday, 27th oct. i will order us a takeaway, push play on the dvd plater and serenade you with my guitar. I promise to relax and be myself.
PS - i just need to clear a space on the sofa and hide stuff so the house looks tidy
pps - if you are more comftable in your own space iwill bring cash, dvd and guitar to yours

r.s.v.p
love joe.

And weridly, hes also packaged up a little book of quotes.

what do we think - incrediably sweet and trying.....
or 12 years old.

er - joe. or pirate.

hahahahaha.
brain clearly not in gear.

It's sweet watch :)

Ahw pirate. Pirate is my new favourite.

At least he will be when he gets his cock out.

Ah watch thats lovely.

And Snape's gift is lovely too, how kind of someone to do that.

I don't think I believe in karma, at least not as far as relationships are concerned. Mine is clearly shit. I'd have thought 8 years of hell with the Evil Ex might've put me in line for something nice, but apparently not. Meh.

That's really sweet watch!

Much better effort wise. And thoughtful too!

It is a bit sweet, isnt it.
Hes drawn round the invite with little ·····'s like its a coupon to be cut out.

Its also very funny.
:)

Yeah. Its thoughtful too.

I like him again :)

Sponge. No, the problem with karma is that you dont know its time frame.

We are all lovely. And nice people. Good stuff will happen.

I'd like to think that were true, but I've been waiting for the good stuff since before the Evil Ex...like I said if karma exists, mine is shit. Someone's has to be.

[ shock ] =
[ hmm ] =
[ confused ] =
[ blush ] =
[ angry ] =
[ sad ] =
[ envy ] =
[ biscuit ] =
[ wine ] =
[ brew ] =
[ thanks ] =

sponge - i did say the same as you, till may this year.
actually, thats a lie - what with all the job awfulness... i said to a few people i didnt understand why shit always fell in my lap, because it does seem to. other peoples lives seem so calm. mine seems to leap about in amazing highs, but then devestating lows. i dont know why, neither did they.

some people just have more shit than others BUT things cant stay like that forever, and you know you have lots going for you that people would envy. you wont be single forever, its impossible.

Watch - Man 1 got blown off moved back because my friend's back after being away for 6 months! Hooray!

Man 3 - He's pulling out more and more red flags as we go along..

Sponge - What Watch said.
