[lubeybooby]

Roll up roll up get yer dating chat here... all kinds of dating...

Online, RL, established, new, join in and blether away!

I have been asked for a coffee. By the stand-up comedian.

That's coffee.

Date/time is being negotiated.

Ooooh snape tell us more!!!

Sounds good Snape... I have a coffee date, I think with a builder. Could be handy. And the electrician I met in RL a little while ago wants to come and fit a socket, for free, tomorrow...dd thinks he fancies me.

Catching up on the thread, just had to say that I am currently crying with laughter over the misspelled pets.

We got dagooz. They is lovely...

Fate FWIW, anyone calling me "huni" doesn't know me and risks a similar assault
I DO judge anyone using it. I am afraid that I fail to see how anyone who uses txtspk could impress me intellectually. It's an affront to my Eng Lit degree which was only a 2.1 but hey

watch glad work is good (except for the feet!) and good luck for the viewings tomorrow, hope they are lovely houses with petfriendly landlords :)

And no, nothing today. which is kind of the end of any vain hope I had that I might... :(

I was discussing it at lunch with 2 work friends (one male, one female), and they were both utterly shocked by the whole thing, and as completely baffled as I am. They saw the exchange of texts post second date and said they would never have predicted from them he would disappear. Male friend said when he did the disappearer thing (he claims this wasn't regularly...) he just never contacted a girl post date, in fact he said what would be the point of contacting someone postdate UNLESS you wanted to see them again. So just plain weird, sort of sums up my life really.

LC was a nice, normal bloke, a million times more so than anyone I've met OD. He had excellent manners, said thank you all the time - I think during date 2 he thanked me for seeing him again at least 10 times. I paid him a compliment and he looked utterly stunned. You can't fake that, and he wasn't. There is a reason but whatever it is, I know that reason is not that our date was all some sort of smoke and mirrors fakery which I imagined out of my desperation for a relationship. I know how great it was. I just don't know why he stopped contacting me. Possibly I never will. Which is a bugger because I like to know the answer to everything....

He does live and work within a mile of my house of course, I'll probably end up seeing him in the supermarket

In other news, I was talking to a colleague today who sounds v like LC when he speaks (in fact, when I first met LC, I thought blimey doesnt he sound like colleague). I have thought for AGES that colleague likes me (it's not really reciprocated, theres a hand issue) - he wants to go for lunch with me before I start my new job at the end of the month...I am tempted but more cos it reminds me of LC than anything else Although of course I don't know he likes me, I may be utterly barking up the wrong tree.

ooh the russian scammers are taking a new approach. They're actually putting up profile photos of women who aren't stunningly attractive - with a bad tooth and what looks like a wart, in fact. Still describe themselves as 'Perfect' though, which you can only do if you're using the Russian Match.com. How strange.

Wondering whether to respond to the wink and translatify a response again.

Right, caught up now.
Unless she has a graduate degree in something artsy, Bant, there's no excuse for misspelling your pet, you surely see it spelt (?) correctly every time you go to the bag of food to feed them? Apologies to artsy types for my horrendous generalisation. It could be ironic, though, or some sort of cute in-joke that she will share with someone eventually?

MadameO, I do drink, but I'm with you on the alcohol-free dates for the same reason. Alcohol makes me horny and that makes me ignore all the red flags my last two exes were waving; both of them were abusive in different ways.

I need some motivation to get dating. I have a wedding to go to next year that my ex (and the woman he left me for) will be attending. I would love to be able to take a lovely man. Not to say 'I've found someone so much better than you' because in fact the message I want to send is 'I'm so much better than you', but just to have someone to hold my hand.

'A hand issue' ?!

I find it absolutely puzzling sponge seriously. I just don't understand. I don't think you'll ever find out why, which is infuriating and even if he did come out with some half-arsed excuse, it would only be a half-arsed excuse.

Fayster I get you. My STBXH moved in with another woman obscenely quickly. I have lost a stone since then, and the next family event we need to attend, I want someone with me. Don't care if I have to hire an escort...

MadameO, same as me except I have no degree in English. Thankfully I don't know a single person that uses it! Even the young lads in my class that text don't use it

Parsley, my lovely colleague offered me the use of her insanely hunky 6' 4" nephew for the occasion. I'd be tempted, if he wasn't only 21!

Go on Fayster let them talk about you!

fayster weddings are hell. I am almost resigned to the fact that when DS2 gets married in about 15-20 years time, I will be bumped from the top table because the Evil Ex and his GF will be up there, and I'll be stuck on the table of the chronically single.

snape the hand issue is that colleague's are (despite being considerably taller than me) about half the size of mine. And I don't have particularly big hands (LC referred to them as tiny...)

I actually wouldn't mind hearing from Lc with a half arsed excuse. Least that way I could rule out alien abduction, or that he'd been frightened to death by a tin of beans :)

hows the date with the comedian coming along?

!!!

I just got an email from SurreyGirl.

Subject: Screw It

Busy Sunday?

The huge bloody smile on my face is just bloody huge

Surrey girl!

You do realise that's three exclamation marks you've used there bant?

I've gone off you. It would never work out. (!)

No stand-up update, he hasn't got back to me. I'm chatting to a guy who asked if I wanted to see his sonic screwdriver.

fuck me. He's six foot seven!

Eww, hands sponge

The hands is an issue.

But it's only lunch, I might be wrong that he likes me (I don't think I am) and talking to him is quite like talking to LC. Except LC is much better looking and his hands are a normal size.

6 ft 7...is that officially a giant? Can't remember, might be 6ft 9. You could wear your highest heels and he'd still be massively taller than you!

Bantam just go for it, what the hell.

"Chillax" is a dealbreaker for me. Even my children risk my never speaking to them again if they use the word.

6'7"?

I got a message on OKC today - guy said 'sorry i have no pix up, i had to take them down because last time I got scammed into talking to some pervy guy who was pretending to be a woman'. Maybe I'm missing something but how does taking his pictures down help?

Engineer is phoning me soon.

i once knew a guy who was 6ft 7.
he was called tiny
:)

he made my ex husband, who was 6ft4 look short.

Sponge, what was the last contact with LC? I would be tempted to text in a PA way - Hi LC, I've been thinking that although our two dates were fine, I'm don't think you and I would work. Wouldn't want to leave you hanging as we all know 'disappearers' are infuriating, so doing the decent thing and letting you know

That way, he gets dumped before he dumps you by disappearing

DD heard from hers tonight. "sorry, I've not been in touch. I think perhaps you are looking for more and right now I am only looking for casual"

She text back... Actually I was only looking for casual right now, I don't have time for a full relationship. But as you have been so rude and discourteous, I don't think I will be looking for casual with you. Take care

HAHAHA that's my girl

6ft 7! It would be like dating chewbacca.

I might even feel....feminine. Gads.

I don't want to text him in a PA way, I'm a bit too sad about it to derive any enjoyment from doing so, plus a) he clearly already has disappeared as I've not heard from him since Tues, and b) I text him yesterday asking about his weekend plans. so texting him anything now would just make me look stupid.

I'd just like to hear something from him. Crap reason, bullshit excuse, lame brushoff, in fact the worse the better as I could then tell myself what an idiot he is, but just something.
