Erm...hope nobody minds?

Snape, hope you're ok.

Sponge, great news that you got an e-mail - which site was it from?

I posted at the weekend about very full on guy who did all the running on okc...we met last tues for coffee and there was much chemistry and discussion about what we wanted afterwards by phone...since then,he has been completely tied up with previous commitments and work and has no idea when he can meet next..long flirty texts late two nights ago..and a few odd ones since...nothing since this morning....now I am thinking he is not so keen and maybe is dating others to see who he likes...no idea why I think so.....but I feel he should be letting me know he wants to see me soon at least ,or it won't go anywhere.....is it stalky of me to have noted that he was on the site yesterday but didnt view my profile?

Another hand for Snape here, hope you are ok and it all ends well. Maybe the time has come for you to just 'get it out there', say the words, tell him straight, sock it to him, if you get my drift?

I'm here for the handholding too :)

the email is via GSM thanks to MadameO acting as matchmaker and contacting him for me. So far so good he actually has a brain! After a long time on POF that seems a bit odd, I'm not used to proper conversation, more to being asked what size my bra is

Getting sorry, not sounding all that good to be honest. If someone wants to meet up they will make the time. You get yourself back on that site and rustle up a few new possibilities ...

De-lurking to join the Snape hand holding. Love this thread. Maybe one day I won't be frozen with fear at the mere thought of starting to date

Free just do it! Honestly, it gets easier and easier and it can be good fun just to chat a bit on some of the sites if you're not ready to meet up yet...

Thanks Western. I do need to just bite the bullet and get on with it. I've been divorced 9 months now, separated for 18 months. I don't really meet men in RL, so OD seems to be the best way forward. Thinking of trying OKC, which site are you on?

I second what OWW says, just treat it as a bit of interactive online entertainment, you dont have to actually meet anyone if you dont feel ready or right about it:)

I used OKC which seemed to have a combination of normal and not so normal people on it

I didn't get on with OKC but I actually found PoF to be fine just as long as you're ruthless with the delete button. Never had any problems with rude photos etc although I got my share of one and two word messages ("Hi Hun/sexy/babe etc). Booooring. Delete. Match was okay too although they are all on PoF for free as well!

Am hoping for a snape update

me too Miranda...

Fingers crossed its all going well :)

Yes, I'm waiting up for Snape!

Also here for snape!

I think we're all waiting up for snape..

I think there are probably hundreds of us waiting up for Snape news .

Yep, still hanging on in there for Snape news...and thinking surely no news is good news!

Thank you for hand holding. Very much. X!'

It's a pretty clear no. He didn't really understand how much I felt.

He thinks we can find a way through it. I really fucking don't. We've said goodbye.

He 'loved' the. Notebook, flicked through it, said it was 'exquistuite' I don't think it has really registered yet. But yeah. I think the enormity of the gesture isn't lost, but hasn't swayed.

Sorry my flying monkeys. As he was.
Bollocks.

Having said that. The kiss goodbye was 'spectacular' .

Oh, there was something in that kiss,

Pfffft.

So so sorry.

Huge hugs.

Ohhh snape!

aarrghhh

I'm in London tomorrow... don't suppose you have a lunchbreak about 2.15 and fancy a coffee/something stronger/natter do you?

Sorry snape. Not much more I can say really except.. sorry. Part of me was wondering whether you'd beaten him to death with the notebook by now. It'd be a shame to get blood all over it, it's beautiful

Lubey! Do I get a hug?! I need a hug.

This is shit. So tired.
