I honestly cant face texting him tonight. The rejection will be ever so slightly easier to take tomorrow.

It really couldn't have gone better on Monday, I don't get how, why or when it changed. Shit :(

yoga - I loved that bit most of all. 'Far better than multiplication' translates directly to Arabic as 'Much better than the beatings'. I have no idea why.

See bantam your and nurse's humour...seems to be a fit

I've unhidden my profile and am clicking on the dodgiest looking profiles i can find just to see if I can attract any nutters! I'm bored. I really need a job. Or a boyfriend. Or both. Do you think anyone would pay me to write OD profiles?

sponge, nothing has happened between now and monday, so nothing can have gone wrong. really. relax. Its been two dates, he doesnt have to be in daily contact, this is not a committed relationship yet, its dating. you dont have to be in constant contact when you date. just wait, he will be in contact.

The house was dire. awful. Mould up the walls, awfully stained carpets, kitchen caked in grease. bathroom i wouldnt shower the dog in and a garden that looked like some kind of forest. The agent was embarassed, her first day on the job and was horrified. Needless to say i wont be taking it.

Stilll, i have just got back from dress rehersal for work, big opening day tomorrow, lots of press, buzz etc, very exciting. Am painting my nails fire engine red, will be getting a ton of sleep to make up for last night and intend to sparkle.

:)

oh and the no carbs dukan thing is some kind of marvel. Not only am i not hungry at all, but i also have lost 4lbs since monday. result.

wow watch well done on the weight loss and good luck for tomorrow! xx

well done with dukan, watch!

sorry the house was crap though, urgh sounds minging.

watch other than the horribleness, how was the place? Surely the landlord/agency has the responsibility to make it good? And you have a bit more time now after the news on the legality of the notice?

the house could be lovely, it needs a lot of doing up. they were going to check with the landlord to see what they were doing. tbh it needed gutting, so i dont expect that will happen. it was really awful.

ill keep looking.
im torn and would appreciate advice.I dont know if i should stay close to where i am so dd doesnt have to move school. its nice. BUT, the high school is bad, so i would have to move again in 3 years. but i can get more for my money.
or
i should go for the ' nice' area, with the two best schools in the town. and accept ill have to live in a shoe box and dump half my stuff to do so.

watch i'd be tempted to move to the area with better schools if you can possibly afford it, esp if it's going to save you having to move again in just a few years.

So far all I've attracted are:

1. Hi hunni xxx
2. You r stunning
3. I love your hair
4. Hy (this on facebook from my friend's slightly creepy, single, 55 yo uncle)

Going into hiding again. Anyway, theres' a new show on Sky Living about hunky firemen.

I'd switch area now watch, so that your dd will have some friends she'll go to high school with - unless her current friends would also be moving/travelling to go to the better school

Watch - about areas, all I can say is what I did earlier this year which was to get a place in the best area I could afford, within walking distance of the best schools (primary and secondary) in the town. It's smaller and less naice than what I could have got in a different area, but it's been a good move for the childre's education, friendships etc. if you're going to have to move anyway, might be an idea to just do if now rather than knowing you've got to go through it all again.

i know, i think if i can i will. but they are SO small.
Doors opening straight into living room, only room for one sofa. Kitchens not big enough for a fridge freezer to fit in, and bathrooms out the back of the kitchen.
TINY.
for 650 a month.

if i move a mile away from there i can get a family sized 3 bed for the same money.

but its the schools. The primary is fine, its a nice school. The high school is better than it was and is now an ' academy' but, and this will sound awful, its never going to be good as its slap bag in a very bad area. ( 2 miles in the opposite direction to me)

watch I agree if you will need to move for secondary, makes sense to try and do that now if you can. Hopefully something might come up thats a bit bigger and perhaps not in such a great state, so you might be able to negotiate over price - I know on Rightmove it says on some of the houses how long they've been up for let for...if its been up say at £675-700 for a couple of months, they might be prepared to drop slightly just to get a tenant in...worth a try maybe.

I'm giving in and going to bed now to cry try not to think about LC, and hope tomorrow will be an improvement on today.

Yoga - was it you that posted the link to the travelling salesman? He must be wondering why he's getting so many views, he's sent a message asking why I'd looked and not sent him a message! Has anyone else heard from him?

Sponge, pack it in! You invited him over, he couldn't make it. He's probably waiting for you to offer an alternative, and is sitting at home wondering why you haven't, and what he's done wrong! Besides which, you know he was busy, that's why he couldn't come over to yours.

Date 3 went well. We will rock you is awesome. I think everybody should be made to see it. I was more assertive with Mr C and he backed down and happily followed along immediately with no awkwardness. He did do one 'We will do something.......' Comment and I used bant's come back to great effect.

All in all a more positive evening then expected. He even brought my daughter a present when I mentioned she was upset I was seeing the show without her.

Sponge - it's not you! It's not. What could you have possibly done in two dates that would make it you?

If it was me, I wouldn't be texting today. Or tomorrow. Or next week. He has your number and you already attempted to arrange something. You say you are worried he might think you were a bit needy, so leave it. He knows where to find you. Put him out of your mind and carry on messaging, working, whatever. Don't keep putting the ball in his court. He should be making the effort with you, you are the prize not him and if he doesn't, it really is no great loss.

Something must have happened though. Monday he couldn't have liked me more...but by tues evening when he didn't suggest an alternative, and yesterday when I didn't hear from him at all, clearly something had changed. I just don't know what :(

I can't just leave it though. That would mean more days like yesterday of waiting for a text and being upset when there is none.

Ill text him today and prepare myself for the inevitable :(

That something doesn't have to be you sponge. Also I think some men that initially come across keen, do retreat a little for a bit. I hope he gets back to you and doesn't leave you hanging.

But I'm the common denominator.

I honestly don't get it. Mon we held hands all night, while walking along, while sitting in the pub. He said he really liked me....

:(

Morning all. Glad you had a good date confused,bant that's really funny do let us know. Sorry some peeps haven't heard back yet...I have blocked my Pof lorry driver. Didn't hear from him yesterday, as arranged, and I am not being messed around this early!

sponge do I need to get snape's wet fish out???

He's said he likes you.. Give him some space

delurks as impartial yet confused observer

Sponge aren't you meant to be arranging the third date though? I wouldn't take him saying no to the late-notice first suggestion without an alternative as a blow off. Why not actually suggest a time and activity for the third date and see what happens?

I get the need to give him space and not expect contact all the time, but I thought the ball was in Sponge's court for this date!?

What they said^ What does anyone think? On the plus side someone with a fabulous body has messaged me. It's good for my eyes if nothing else....
