Onwards and upwards we go, still sniggering at the sausage seeing the roll Dating thread 26

[lubeybooby]

New one!

All dating related gumph here.

ah yoga, yoga. if you lived closer I'd send you a photo of my DeLonghi.. :)

Oh I absolutely take the 'woo-stuff' with a pinch of salt - I'm an avowed rationalist, staunch atheist, don't believe in karma or I would surely be far more 'blessed'. Don't believe in luck, only opportunity.... But I like that it has a meditative focus and gives me some interesting thought processes. :-)

Strange day here... Went to big conference for work and felt either tearful at amazingly honest people who had stared addiction in the face and worked so hard to come out of the other side....and very angry at a bunch of self-serving aggrandised two dimensional numpties.... But I met some lovely genuine people and that made me happy.

yoga. Glasgow is a barren dating dessert.

Right. Second date set up for tomorrow with Safrican. Yes her texts can be a bit annoying and she's very enthusiastic about life, but I was looking for someone with enthusiasm, she just has a bit too much (so many emoticons in texts)

She's bringing an overnight bag in case she likes the look of the wine list at the restaurant. I've offered her the sofa bed if she decides to drink. Hmm. Not sure how tomorrow will go.

wonder how sponge is getting on on her pub crawl with Tristram/Quentin/Cuthbert?

I should move to Glasgow.. Commute would be a bugger though

snape I know what you mean about the woo stuff. I like it in the sense that it can help you think about stuff differently, get into a bit of a meditative state, see things you didn't see before. But I'm too much of a scientist at heart to take it seriously. I don't believe in relying on "luck" or good fortune but sometimes a bit of luck can come your way.

Conference sounds interesting, meeting genuine people can be a reaffirming when everything seems a bit shit.

(sorry x-posts, the grin was for bantam not snape)

Hmm, Bantam sounds like your Saffrican has some ideas about tomorrow might end...how do you feel about that knowing you'll be seeing sexy nurse again soon?

At one point I was talking to three men in my area - that's within a couple of miles. There was PCB man, DIY geek and Catalogue Man. All were non-starters. Met the latter two.
Another area had three men (including DP) living in a 2-3 mile radius. It also has my 2 exes living within a mile of each other but that's another story!

to be honest I don't know. Safrican could also be known as very-attractive-safrican, but I think I'll try not to drink too much so I don't get carried away.. No Tequila. No Tequila. SexyNurse I'm not seeing for over a week, although we're texting a lot. I prefer the Nurse, personalitywise, but it's only been one date and some Messaging and texts.

SurreyGirl just mailed me, I'd been trying not to mail her as she. Is. Just. Too. Far. Away.

But funny and sweet. And also very-attractive. She want's to know if I can play poker. And cribbage. I want to tell her no as I want to put her off. But also I want to play poker with her. And cribbage.

She's my Miss120.

sod and buggrit.

Poker? I bet

strip poker?!?!?!?!

You dog!

Strip cribbage more like ...

I have played strip monopoly before.

It's complicated.... But nowhere near as complicated as strip-scrabble.

thankyou all for the ideas for my second date with Safrican tomorrow night. Where can I get a scrabble board at this short notice?

or strip twister....

snape he did not say strip poker - that's just your filthy mind!

bantam I know it's a bit tardy but it went "sigh.. I'm single now.. I don't like being single... I've passed my driving test. ... I've lost weight... sigh I don't like being single" (I'm totally paraphrasing). I just didn't catch it because the project does a lot of community work with people in difficult situations. (i really don't want to out myself or my project so am being very very vague, my boss has kind of confirmed my suspicions and this guy seems sweet and I feel for him but I'm not his kind of girl really)

When I was OD I would happily have a good nosey through whoever fit my search criteria and message them with a kind of leading question... something like "you like this author, I found this about them... why did you think that".... I didn't get many responses but the ones I did get were at least interesting and fit my criteria for a good chat. Unfortunately the few dates I had just served to make me realise that I'd rather go about it in a more organic way at this stage. :(

Me?!?! filthy?!?!??!!

She's angling at a 'sleep-over'. ... I think strip something might be on 'the cards' ....

Incidentally.... A 'triple-word-score' = undergarments.

shuckle - okay, those are fairly explicit single type noises. I thought your choice of words, that you're not his type of girl really, is a bit odd though. If you said he's not your type of guy, I get that, and drop him like a hot poo, but can't you let him decide if you're his type of girl?

I don't have a particular type of girl. Ok, educated, yes, funny, yes. From surrey, apparently, yes. But blonde, brunette, tall, short, medium, thin, curvy. It changes.

And my profile doesn't list a favourite author or book, or film (I don't think) - but my intro is long enough. And I think witty, and gives people the chance to ask questions if they want.

not sure if she's angling at a sleep over. I asked if she was driving, as she's an hour away by road, and what did she want to do for food. She said she may get a B&B if she fancied drinking, and I said I have a sofa bed. She said she'd see how she felt about the wine (well she called it vino, which is another vaguely off-pink flag for me)

And I haven't had any in ages..

snape - what do you get for all 7 letters down...?

I'm intrigued now. Going to google for all night board-game delivery companies.

I am in favour of the nurse at the moment.

Just saying.

I'll second that, Snape
