hatesponge · 07/11/2012 19:09

Such is the mood I am in, I can't even raise a laugh at the appalling profiles and bizarrely worded messages.

:(

hatesponge · 07/11/2012 19:13

Snape sadly not at all. I wish it were. But it looks like things are back to their rather depressing norm where me and men are concerned.

snapespeare · 07/11/2012 19:13

Oh spongey-sponge. Sad nothing!?

NicholasTeakozy · 07/11/2012 19:14

Well, I was until a self --aggrandising dick of a man too far away to ever actually contemplate meeting me in real life, thought he'd be a key-board warrior and actually made the effort to send me a critical collection of sausage-fingered thumpings. Thanks. Fuck off.'

Snape, that is brilliant :o

Bant your reply to 'Emily' is hilarious. This thread is the gift that keeps on giving.

hatesponge · 07/11/2012 19:16

No, nothing, nada, etc.

I don't understand where I went wrong. But clearly I did, somewhere.

snapespeare · 07/11/2012 19:16

OKC man is gorgeous actually jaw-droppingly GORGEOUS.

Bet he just wants sex.

Milkandlotsofwineplease · 07/11/2012 19:18

Link please Snape so we may assessGrin

snapespeare · 07/11/2012 19:18

No! You did nothing wrong. You absolutely know it isn't you... It's still early, it honestly is. Really, just deep breath, step away from phone, do something lovely be it bath, wine, chocolate, wank, whatever.

We need to meet up for a marvellous night of much wine soon. All will be well.

snapespeare · 07/11/2012 19:22

He just asked me to IM.

I said I don't, I'm not technologically advanced enough.

He replied 'never mind'.

I'm not replying to that am I. Pfffft.

See how quickly my head is turned by someone seemingly articulate who likes books and who isn't a potato. Brief satisfying lurch of the womb, cut back down to manageable expectations. Hey ho.

bantamrooster · 07/11/2012 19:33

and they shakespeare is dead

Milkandlotsofwineplease · 07/11/2012 19:34

Mercury A hot or glorious lady? So he's looking for one or the other then? Ladies who are both need not applyGrin

Scattylatte · 07/11/2012 19:38

Sponge, have you texted him?

Mercury. How funny. Will you get bak to him?

OD is crazy

Yogagirl17 · 07/11/2012 19:48

I'm reeallllly beginning to hate the word 'lady'.

hatesponge · 07/11/2012 19:52

Snape I don't think all will be well with me and LC. I've fucked it up, just like always. I only wish I knew how.

Scatty I haven't text him since yesterday - I sent the last text. I'll text tomorrow but I know I'm only prolonging the inevitable, which is

a) he wont reply and I'll never hear from him again; or
b) he'll reply to say (in some way) he's not interested; or
c) he'll reply and just be unable to make any date I suggest, not suggest any himself, and carry on doing that til I get fed up and stop asking.

I take no pleasure in being right about this, but I know I am :(

lubeybooby · 07/11/2012 20:13

Sponge stop it!

You were wrong about him twice before when you had your feelings of dooooom

OP posts:
snapespeare · 07/11/2012 20:18

If it isn't 'all well' with cuthbert, it will be all well elsewhere, it it will be 'all well' with you, because you are the important factor here. Text the Bugger. Why wait until tomorrow for what you see as your inevitable binning? Take control. Face up to whatever it is (not necessarily dooooom!) & deal, because, my love, that is what we do. Let's get some titanium going on. :-)

ParsleyTheLioness · 07/11/2012 20:18

Hi All
Coffee date was meant to be happening tomorrow. He is apparently working nights, but does not know what time he is starting until tonight. Which seems a bit odd. I think hewould have let it drift, but I was trying to get a first meeting out of the way. Can't understand why there isn't time for coffee between getting up and going to work.... Do many blokes on POF put UK only as town? should I be worried by the vagueness of this?

lubeybooby · 07/11/2012 20:21

Ones that say UK says 'married' to me. The married ones that travel with work a lot who don't mind where someone is from...

OP posts:
ParsleyTheLioness · 07/11/2012 20:23

Did wonder. At first I just thought he was crap at filling in the form, but I've seen it quite a lot lately...to much of a coincidence then.

lubeybooby · 07/11/2012 20:27

Well he might just be crap at filling profiles in, but it's definitely something to be on your guard for!

OP posts:
ParsleyTheLioness · 07/11/2012 20:40

No, I think you might be right.Think there is something a bit 'off' somewhere...

Yogagirl17 · 07/11/2012 20:41

Sponge, seriously, I'm sorry but you are being silly. Text him and just say hi already. And if you don't hear back it's not because you have fucked anything up. Sometimes it just isn't right. End of story.

Yogagirl17 · 07/11/2012 20:46

Bant I'm reading your brilliant reply again, just for a laugh!
She is beautiful! It is much better than the beatings. Grin
