Wow! Foxeh l Envy at your endless legs and perfectly proportioned curves

What's next? New hair? Could quite see you as a blonde bombshell...

FateLovesTheFearless · 27/10/2012 18:42

Ooh I want to see Snape but can't get profiles on phone! Add me on fb if you dont mind, ramblinghaggis in search bar :)

snapespeare · 27/10/2012 18:48

Sent you a friend request. You are my direct replacement for voldemort. Wink

FateLovesTheFearless · 27/10/2012 19:19

I appreciate his spot! You look stunning snape and those legs are amazing! Thanks for the add Smile

snapespeare · 27/10/2012 19:22

You're very welcome, it's a pleasure to have you there. :)

And thank you. :)

snapespeare · 27/10/2012 19:23

maybe I should buy some shorter skirts?!

TimeForMeAndDD · 27/10/2012 19:35

Yes, why not? It's nice to do things differently sometimes, try new things. I think that's what you need right now Smile

hatesponge · 27/10/2012 19:51

well, I've had quite an eventful afternoon :)

first snape it was my pleasure, both cake and the gift and the Voldermort character assasination, honestly! It was so lovely to meet you. You really are v v attractive, even more so than your new photos convey. And obviously very intelligent (which is a major compliment from me as I am used to being cleverer than everyone I know!) I am a bit in awe of you actually Blush

and yy to shorter skirts. I definitely would if my legs were longer!

So after being defeated by cheesecake I got a text from one of the guys I swapped no's with on Match (who lives nearby) asking if I fancied meeting for coffee later in the afternoon. While waiting for him I went on a slightly frivolous spending spree and bought a lovely new coat and boots Shock Which was quite exciting, FAR more so than my date who didn't float my boat in any way shape or form. Needless to say he wants to see me again...Hmm

bantamrooster · 27/10/2012 20:00

Oh dear the safrican is very very cute.

Worley · 27/10/2012 20:50

have been lurking a while.. about six weeks into my 6month of no Internet dating.. which I'm quite enjoying as no Stress or worrying what'so ever.
ANYWAY.. had to post a message to snape after looking at your pictures. you are gorgeous!!! lovely photos.. well done on the weightloss! is hard going I know.. I also lost three stone in past year.. still stir and a half to go but on a standstill at moment..

snapespeare · 27/10/2012 20:54

Mine has been due to low carbing, but I have been stuffing myself with chocolate and crisps (&wine!) recently, so surprised I haven't piled it back on.

Thank you for the 'gorgeous'. :). You don't think it sometimes, especially the few days I've had, so it's nice to hear it. :)

Makethepainstop · 27/10/2012 21:00

Hello sorry to crash again but after a bit more advice from you lovely lot.

Well date boy has text me tonight saying he has been suffering all day with a hangover and that he is glad a I had a nice break (been away with friend for few days). He also said he is out with his famiy for a meal tonight and asked if I was upto much. I find it all weird.arghhhhhhh.

I just replied saying hope he feels better soon. I'm not going out tonight but out tomorrow and if he still fancied going out next week. Was that a wise move?

Xx

Yogagirl17 · 27/10/2012 21:26

Snape - I see stunning photos of your face but no full length ones...?

Bantam - you slut! (Ha, ha just kidding)

Decided to tell the geek he was just too far away. He said he was disappointed but understood. Feel quite relieved. Had a nice message from really lovely guy EVEN further away! Argh...seriously you would think I lived in the middle of fucking nowhere instead ten miles from a city with more than half a million people. (Is there any cheesecake left?)

Yogagirl17 · 27/10/2012 21:35

Hi Makethepainstop - not crashing at all, everyone welcome! I think it's fine as long as you don't expect too much from him at this stage.

Makethepainstop · 27/10/2012 21:42

Thanks Yoga!

Been with exh from 17 to 32 do got no experience of the whole dating thing. I am a simple person who says what I do/don't want. Get confused with all the rules!

Suppose if it feels right then it's right if it doesn't then it isn't!

One brilliant thing about the dating is that I no longer think/fantasise/long for exh anymore! That is a major turnaround for me!

Xx

snapespeare · 27/10/2012 21:42

yoga. Sorted, I hope.

I agree, pain, I think that's fine --do bear in mind I clearly know NOTHING about affairs of the heart.

Sneakymeezer · 27/10/2012 21:51

Hi Snape
I have been following your notebook plan for some time and wanted to say how sorry I am that it hasn't turned out well. With regard to PM I had a similar experience. Cute guy that I dated a couple of times (he was so nice, just lovely) and then we had that friendship where heads were placed on laps, nights on blankets looking at the stars etc etc. And we saw each other so often I wasn't sure if we were going out bar the kissing etc. It all came to a head one night when he was talking about making a big decision nd I asked "about me?" hopefully and (perfect recall of event 20 years ago) he says "yes, I suppose I had better do something about you too." The mortification and anger! He didn't btw. I vanished for a month, and apparently he "really missed our friedship". Of course he did. Twit. I still feel that sense of humuliation whenI look back and realise he gave nothing but I had built him up to be so wonderful. So I hope that you can have a friendship with PM if that's what YOU want. And you sound so lovely I am sure a lovely man who will really appreciate all your wonderful aspects will be there once you no longer have an emotional vampire attached to you. Fingers crossed that it isn't too painful, and that there's light at the end of the tunnel soon. I hope I haven't offended you by this.

snapespeare · 27/10/2012 21:56

Oh sneaky, thank you for sharing your experience, I'm so very sorry that this happened to you. Not offended in the slightest (this is the Internet, I very rarely get offended by it...)

Tonight, I feel kick-ass angry. Really. How fucking dare he!!!

snapespeare · 27/10/2012 21:59

...and I'm cross at myself for being such an idiot!

Yogagirl17 · 27/10/2012 22:03

Snape - you are stunning. Voldemort is clearly an idiot who thinks he just wants someone to take care of him. By the time he realises a relationship involves giving as much as he is taking it will be too late because you will have moved on! Anger is good - helps to put things in perspective. You continue to kick ass!

Pain - I agree, OD is a great way to move on, and if you happen to meet someone wonderful in the process all the better, but I think we've all learned not to get our hopes up too much.

Have tweaked my OKC profile yet again, in hopes of, at the very least, talking to someone near me!

OP posts:
Makethepainstop · 27/10/2012 22:11

Thinking I need to change my name. My wishes have been granted and the pain has stopped. Any ideas....?

I want something forward facing that reflects my new kick ass attitude xx

snapespeare · 27/10/2012 22:14

nomorepain

Makethepainstop · 27/10/2012 22:30

Love it! Right then how do I change it? X

Nomorepain · 27/10/2012 22:36

Has it worked?
Sorry for crashing with silly stuff xx

Yogagirl17 · 27/10/2012 22:38

Ha ha, yes it's worked. At first i thought you meant in an extistential sense but then I realised you just meant could we see your name change! Grin
