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

[ChaoticismyLife]

It's the best I could come up with

As you were...

Thank you for answering me Mac I was overcomplicating it.

No problem EiePie

Watch we'll see. I don't know anymore.

Everyone I knew said it was impossible that I'd be single for more than 6 months. Then 6 months turned into a year. Then 2 years, then 3, then 4...I keep waiting and hoping it will change but it never does. And the more time passes the more I start to worry it never will.

Snape - you wait. The Universe is unfolding as it should. I used to be very bitter and blame everyone for my situation and my issues. And then my ex happened and DD was born and I was surrounded by kind, well-meaning people and straight-talking MNers and I dunno...somehow I gained a moral core and became human began to see the world from a different perspective.

I know I'm downright bonkers a bit eccentric. If I find money I never keep it. I picked 20p up from a bus floor and gave it to the driver. Why? No idea. Just seems like the right thing to do. If I accidentally walk out of the shop without paying for something I have to go back.

:). madameo. I look on wrong change as the universe equalising itself. One Christmas, having nothing i got change from a £20 for a £10. Marched over the road and bought the tree we wouldn't necessarily have otherwise had.

...and I'm waiting. I've waited three years. It sucks. Notebook sorts that one out one way or another and I am trying to be kind and patient and all the good things, but I want to march two streets away, bribe a neighbour to let me in, dump the presents on his sodding doorstep and let the universe then take its course because I am FED UP to the back teeth with waiting and kindness and stupid games. Grrrrrrrr.

Well, soup boy has asked if he can buy me a coffee on Thursday...

Soup boy!! Can he?!

Yay for Soup boy Yoga!

but you wont snape - because you are a nice person.
sometimes it makes you feel like a mug, BUT- i do think if you are nice, treat people how you want to be treated, evenutally you will be treated that way too.

yoga- horray! when?

sponge - i know, i never thought id be single so long either. but, well, it is what it is. odds are in your favor. they are.

madame - yeah. me too :)

spoke to him on the phone. all sorted out. hes really pleased i said and didnt think i was being narky, which is good. so, we had a good talk about it, and expectations and stuff and promised to be honest with each other about things.... so, yeah. feeling good about it all.

I have an intervention. DCs are marching off to PMs laden with presents to leave them on his doorstep. (Without knocking) But not present 3. Present 3 is in person.

I Have deployed my forces of darkness.

Oh Christ. Now I'm getting whinged at cos I won't go and see him tonight

It isn't at all attractive.

When are you doing Present 3 Snape? I've got everything crossed for you so hurry up cos its not very comfortable!

3 is in person when I next see him, if it's 'right'. A fuck ton of white mice and a Stetson is enough to lull him into a false sense of security be going on with...

Apparently I'm being mean
FFS what is wrong with some people? It's a school night.

That's the spirit Snape

Wow, just trying to keep up with everything that's going on - this dating business is a minefield! From the outside, online dating seems like such an easy option - almost like doing the Tesco online shop, just click and add to favourites, then await delivery! Sadly I'm finding it's not quite that easy.

I have a first date this Sat afternoon with a guy who seems funny and nice but physically not my type. But I need to re-evaluate my type as I seem to be attracted to twatheads.

I don't know if I'm attempting the dating scene too soon post break-up, I'm not even divorced yet and soon to be ex would throw an almighty wobbly if he found out (not that he would have the right to after his shenanigans, hence the divorce!)

Ugh. dCs left them on the downstairs 'mail table' rather than at his door for him to fall over and break his insufferable neck so had to text him to go pick up. Edge of your seats ladies (& the lurking blokes) z

Pixie I wish it was as easy as shopping online!

i hope he loves them, hot foots it to yours. hugs you in gratitude, and then you can give him the notebook. i really do.

mac, men. idiots!!!
needyness is not attractive.

pixie - everyone who hasnt online dated thinks its really easy. which is the total opposite of what it actually is. jump in, ask questions and you will feel at home in no time

Hi Pixie - I have some idea of what you're going through. I went on my first 'date' only a couple of months after i kicked my ex out (due to aforementioned shenanigans!). He did find out and he did throw an almighty wobbly! But it did wonders for my self esteem and my confidence. I knew it was too soon for me to get into anything serious but to just have a bit of a 'fling', see waht it was like to be with someone new after being with the same person for 18 years, to realise that men still liked me & found me sexy. It was such a buzz, it felt like being a teenager again. So tread a bit carefully but at the same time, enjoy!

Oh, and seems I have a date confirmed for thursday! On the down side, I've just realised he lives further away than I thought...but not as far as Mr60. You know, I live 10 miles from a major city - why do all these men live so bloody far away?

Agree with Watch. Hope he comes round to say thanks in person...then notebook time. Etc :)

Pixie as watch says the only people who think OD is easy are ones who havent ever tried it. they're also the ones who'll say you haven't tried hard enough when you don't meet anyone suitable

Mac hes annoying me vicariously. you must be feeling murderous by now!

I have had 10 messages on POF today. They have all either said 'hi' or commented on how sexy/beautiful I am, or are sent by THE most unattractive men in England. So all instantly deleted.

I do have 2 messages on Match (new profile partly cribbed from MSF one). I also have an offer of 3 days free membership. Can't reply to messages as a non-member. I should join shouldn't I?

I really hope PM realises a bit of what's happening and comes round to see you (and the notebook) snape :)

Sponge - I'm wondering why I'm bothering. I refuse to defend myself. It's a Monday. It's late notice. I'm in my pyjamas.

Apparently I'm not making any effort. I told him that I was hanging up and to let me know when he's finished sulking.

Go for the Match one! Nothing to lose.

Yoga Yay! Better let us know how it goes! That's crazy, out of interest - whereabouts are you? not a stalker
