Is it wrong to rather enjoy mutual friends posting nonsense about wedding dresses on my fb wall so voldie will see it.....?

Not quite as simple as a click-delete is it voldie?

snigger

I know this is wrong and I will attain indifference at some point, but not just yet, there's a snape-sized hole in your life. Enjoy

Going to keep up with this one Smile

western of course you're right about the ex, it just seems so hard right now Sad he seemed to be trying so hard and I really thought it was going to work out but I kind of had a epiphany and realised it never would. he didn't take it well and it descended into an argument where I ended up telling him to fuck off

Definitely going to treat POF as a bit of fun Smile super cute guy gave me his number after saying he might be deleting his profile, is that normal? he's a bit far away but would definitely meet up with him if he wanted...

snape Love and hope is all we have really isn't it? direct all that love at yourself until you find someone worthy and hope for a better tomorrow (gah..that sounds sad Blush)

fayster · 29/10/2012 22:07

Ha, Snape, you're allowed to do and feel whatever you want at the moment.

I'm on the sofa, wanting to jump off and back into OD, but can't be arsed. Living vicariously through everyone else.

MirandaWest · 29/10/2012 22:08

Hello :)

That was a very quick thread.

Hope no one does mind me posting occasionally as also not OD any more. Mr Nice is my boyfriend though rather than my DP Grin. I do sometimes wonder if either of us will ever get to stay the night in each others house with children around but his DS (17) is not keen and can't see it happening here tbh. Is a good thing XH has the DC a lot :)

bantamrooster · 29/10/2012 22:08

snape. You rock.

Constant texting with SexyNurse. I decided, incidentally to upgrade her from StudentNurse and CuteNurse because on our date she was, well, quite sexy. And she put me in a fingerlock to show that she could. Which really bloody hurt. And I'm not into pain in any way shape or form but I found it really sweet. Is that horribly messed up?

OhWesternWind · 29/10/2012 22:11

Lime - sounds fine to me. How far away is he? Can be a bit difficult if it's too far away, so it might be worth thinking if it's worth starting anything off with him apart from chatting . . . Still, it's only a date!

Hope is one of the best things you can have in your life. I spent far too many years in a crappy horrible relationship and had no hope or excitement about the future, just years of the same old shit stretching out ahead of me. And now, whatever happens, I know I'll always (well, almost always) have that feeling that life's good, and if it's not, it's going to get better. And it will Smile

putthelimeinthecoconut · 29/10/2012 22:12

wow I type slow! I think my keeping up with this thread vow was wishful thinking Grin
pixie not sure of your story but change his name on your phone to do not text (or an insulting name) that normally works for me!

TimeForMeAndDD · 29/10/2012 22:14

Marking place, as a sofa surfer.

OhWesternWind · 29/10/2012 22:16

Bantam - who are you seeing again and when? I can't keep up with you at the moment! You seem a lot more into SexyNurse than the Safrican from your posts - she sounds cool.

bantamrooster · 29/10/2012 22:17

lime - I think the 'deleting his profile' bit sounds a bit odd. Why? If it's because he's 'met' you and therefore doesn't need to keep a profile anymore, that's a bit full on, I'd think.

putthelimeinthecoconut · 29/10/2012 22:22

Quite far, probably a few hours on the train (I don't drive) So wouldn't be good for a quick date to see if he's up to scratch! but I guess I'll cross that bridge when we come to it. I did ask if he was on fb if he was closing his pof account but he said it was set to unsearchable...something to hide maybe?
I feel that way too about hope, life is good and I'm happy to be here, no matter what life throws at me life is good Smile

bantamrooster · 29/10/2012 22:22

western I'm currently planning 2nd date with SexyNurse, but not till next week due to mutual childcare arrangements, also 2nd date with Safrican, who's nice but a bit full on - no kids though so easier to organise a date with. She was the ridiculously expensive first date I had on Saturday.
And Surrey girl who, is, well, just gorgeous and funny and has a penchant for arguing the merits of various collective nouns, which I like. But has three kids with an unreliable ex, lives miles away and a hectic life so we've both admitted we're really unlikely to meet in real life, and if we did we both hope there's no spark cos it would be a bugger.

PoolGirl, who I was meant to be seeing tonight, cancelled as she'd met someone, which made life easier as I needed a night off and fewer complications.

there were another couple I was chatting to, and I'd meet them if it wasn't so bloody complicated at the moment. So things trail off, never to be picked up again.

Ptchah. dates. They're like buses. Only more expensive.

KirstyWirsty · 29/10/2012 22:24

I am now going for an overnight shagathon on Wednesday night with Mr cheeky from work (have told my mum I have a meeting down south and need to have an overnight as she doesn't approve (a few red flags first date pushing me to sleep with him etc and stupidly told her about it) anyway we've talked a lot and I still really really fancy him and and really desperate for a shag so in just going to go for it .. It's not like I'm wanting to have a relationship with him .. He is very sexy though!!!

shuckleberryfinn · 29/10/2012 22:24

I'm just checking in. I've decided to not really sofa dwell just not OD. I'm going to bloody well go about my day flirting mercilessly with everyone I meet.

So I told FWB I couldn't be doing it anymore, the lines between the F and the B were a bit too blurry for me I guess and I'd rather have him as a friend. I'm kind of regretting it now because I am in desperate need of a shag, there's only so much furious wanking a girl can do before it all gets a bit too much.

lime I deleted my OD profiles quite abruptly and I do feel a little bad about one guy I was messaging as he was really sweet and smart and funny. On the other hand I didn't know him well enough to give him my number and so just disappeared. I'm not sure if your guy was a bit weird there but I'd be a little wary.

putthelimeinthecoconut · 29/10/2012 22:25

bantam It's not because of me (I don't think!) maybe just not enjoying the site, I find it a bit full on at times! he did say he wasn't much good at this internet dating stuff...

putthelimeinthecoconut · 29/10/2012 22:29

Yeah I am a bit wary (of men full stop) but I think I'll keep chatting and keep you guys updated on here so you can suss him out for me Grin

OhWesternWind · 29/10/2012 22:29

Oh Lime, a few hours is a bit far . . .

Bantam - I like your Surrey girl too (and collective nouns) but, you're right, your life sounds complicated enough as it is. Have you actually got something sorted out with the nurse or is it still a work in progress?

FateLovesTheFearless · 29/10/2012 22:31

madame I was seeing someone for a yea and still lurked the OD threads Smile don't go! As for all casual, it's like a chant to me now. It's just fun, it's just fun, it's..just...fun. Grin

Going to catch up on the rest of this thread Smile

bantamrooster · 29/10/2012 22:32

lime I haven't used POF - I've just looked at it, and don't feel comfortable with it to be honest. I think there are much more sedate ones, although some charge (match, for example)

oh dear. Hadn't heard from Safrican all day, and she just texted me. Is it an automatic dumping offence when someone starts a text with 'Heeeeeyyyyyyy!'

The text is 33 words long and contains 18 exclamation marks. She's really quite attractive and quite interesting but so Overwhelmingly Enthusiastic.

It's just not british.

WarmFuzzyFun · 29/10/2012 22:33

Fate, 0It's just fun, it's just fun, it's..just...fun, it's SO much fun (most of the time) [hwink]

MadameOvary · 29/10/2012 22:35

Just checking in and marking place before I crash out.
Hello everyone

OhWesternWind · 29/10/2012 22:37

Bantam - hmmm, not really our kind of thing, old bean. I think it would get terribly tiring terribly quickly. Impressive word:extraneous punctuation ratio though!!!!! (

FateLovesTheFearless · 29/10/2012 22:41

Grin fuzzy, just like that!

putthelimeinthecoconut · 29/10/2012 22:47

bantam I like the sound of the nurse, seems like you had a connection? PoF is a bit crazy, far too many messages to keep up with! but I don't want to go on a paid site yet...not really sure what I'm looking for tbh.

western it's just under an hour away, just googled it hehe...he likes the labyrinth and plays guitar, can't I have him?? Grin

bantamrooster · 29/10/2012 22:49

Oh crap. 3 hours of texting SexyNurse, a couple of (maaaad!!!) texts from Safrican and one email from SurreyGirl with the subject line being 'Is it wrong that the word 'Insouciant' excites me?' - when I'd used that in my last email. And she said she's not supposed to go into Waterstones alone but she was very very good and only bought two books.

Oh dear. She's great. And miles away. And probably no chemistry but as we've said chemistry if we ever met would just make things worse..

Nurse is great though. No good can come of surrey girl. I'm in Cambridgeshire FFS

Lime - the long distance is not good, if there's no chemistry or turns out to be boring, you've wasted a long journey. If there is chemistry you can't meet up easily for coffee or a chat or a quickie. Keep it closer to home.
