and maybe as she pressed send, she cackled and said ...."and I hope that makes you feel like shit!" I think it's a bit of a passive aggressive text, having a bit of pop without appearing to ....... or is that just me? Grin

faintheartneverwonfairdate · 06/11/2012 20:37

Hmm Bantam you called it right. I specialise in the bonkers sensitive souls, she would have sucked the life out of you. Not in a good way.

NicholasTeakozy · 06/11/2012 20:41

Holy Jeff Bantam (nearly put Batman). That's a bit full on for two dates! Shock

Yogagirl17 · 06/11/2012 20:48

Bant - passive aggressive or emotionally unstable...or possibly both. Well done, you've done the right thing.

Snape - the new notebook will be even more amazing because you are doing it for YOU (and you rock). Hope DS is ok, it's good to know that at 14 they're still not too old for cuddles. I would be absolutely raging!

My DD (11) is being a hormonal little shit to me and DS but hey that's just par for the course

Watch - sorry, no advice, I wish there was something I could do to help.

AndLibbyMakesThree · 06/11/2012 20:56

Watch, this is probably a stupid suggestion, and I'm sure if it was possible you'd have thought of it already, but will you get a deposit back from the place you're currently in which you could use as a deposit for a new place?

Pixiebelle123 · 06/11/2012 21:04

Evening all!

Snape - good luck with work and I'm so sorry to hear about DS, I hope he's not too shaken up.

Sponge - yay! So pleased for you :)

Bantam - you clearly made the right call. Stop feeling guilty and focus on cutenurse!

I am feeling a bit crappy this evening. POF is full of bonkers men, I log on and find dozens of messages containing no more than 3 words, normally 'want 2 chat?' It's a bit soul destroying to find there are so many twats in existence in my area. As for my match account, if one more 50 year old claiming to actually only be 32 winks at me I'm going to scream!

Where do all the nice, normal, non-pervy, literate single men hang out?!

Yogagirl17 · 06/11/2012 21:11

Pixie POF can be pretty depressing - first time around i gave up and deleted my profile after only 2 days. I'm liking it much better with my profile hidden. That way I get to do the searching, contact men I like the look of, and if I get a bit bored just unhide for a couple of hours then go back into hiding.

bantamrooster · 06/11/2012 21:17

pixie -

On here :)

watchoutforthatsnail · 06/11/2012 21:19

libby - i could, except i wont get it back till 31 days after ive moved out. AND, its not the full amount, only 300 as some of it was used when ihad problems one month a few years back.

essentially ive been told ill need approx 1700.

I think my parents are going to help me..... which is good. So its just a case of finding somewhere. Everywhere is SO tiny for 650 a month. TINY. i thought my current house was small, but god. i just am gutted. keep crying.

sponge - did you hear from him? i wouldnt worry too much. maybe he doesnt want to meet for a few days? maybe once a week or something isbetter for him?

snape - how is DS? what happened? when will work let you know?

bant - shes nuts, its been two dates!! just ignore

hatesponge · 06/11/2012 21:32

watch I need to pm you with some house details i found -sorry hadnt forgotten just spending time being pathetic and flapping about LC. Not heard from him for the last 3 hours. Though that isn't totally unusual, he isnt a frequent texter and there are often many hours in between.

I just worry he's changed his mind about me and doesnt want to see me again :(

lubeybooby · 06/11/2012 21:34

watch :( good luck with the housing stuff. what a nightmare, I dread the same thing happening here as someone lucky to have found a place this size and good location for the money. I also have three cats. I'm very attached to it as well as it's my lovely sanctuary, my post split bolthole. It's not perfect but gawd I love it. So you have my every sympathy

You will be ok though in the end, please don't cry! hope your folks can help.

lubeybooby · 06/11/2012 21:37

sponge! please don't worry. Don't obsess over it and don't do the waiting by the phone thing - keep yourself occupied, especially if it's nice things to do for yourself.

And even if he had changed his mind (which it's waaaaaaaaaay too early to speculate on yet!) at least you know now that you were aiming way too low and have had some great dates to break the rut you were in

OP posts:
watchoutforthatsnail · 06/11/2012 21:37

lubey - snap. i love it here. Its not perfect, but it is for me and my family. and it was unexpected as its been a long term rent for about 10 years.... its not a bad size and has a nice garden that ive cultivated and grown. and now i have to start again in something smaller.
which will be TINY. like, shoebox.

thanks sponge too, i appreciate it.
try not to worry yet..... worry this time tomorrow, but not before :)

hatesponge · 06/11/2012 21:43

I know I sound pathetic, but I had such a brilliant evening last night, I'll be so disappointed if I don't get to see him again. He text me last thing last night, and this morning, so it was all looking ok at that point. If I have fucked it up, I'm not sure how.

Pixiebelle123 · 06/11/2012 21:44

Watch - good luck with finding somewhere else, what a horrible stress Sad you have put my dating nightmares in context.

Sponge - he sounds smitten with you, he'll be in touch soon.

Yoga - I am going to hide my profile for a while to catch my breath!

Bantam - sadly I cannot compete with cute nurse!

SlightlyConfusedAlwaysMad · 06/11/2012 21:51

Sponge with all the love mm allows me to have I want to shake you right now. Just a little. You have done nothing wrong, it has only been 3 hours and he's not a great texter at the best of times.

I know your disappointed as you really like him but give him a chance to reply before you crucify yourself again.

I'm sorry if that sounds harsh x

KirstyWirsty · 06/11/2012 22:07

Tonight's date was a potato don't know what he did with his photo .. Stayed for an hour and headed home.. Next!

I am now wondering if I am aiming too low? I am ok looking and quite witty .. Maybe I should just message the ones I like?

Haven't heard any more from the surgeon .. I feel a sense of relief though!!

sponge chill out girl!

bant definitely a lucky escape for you

Yogagirl17 · 06/11/2012 22:21

Kirsty urgh, what a shame! Yes, aim higher, message anyone you like the look of. Still, 2 down 1 to go. When's date no 3?

yoga next date isn't till next Tuesday but he is only 5'5" so I doubt I will fancy him so may as well cancel now

hatesponge · 06/11/2012 22:36

Lubey aww thank you so much! That must've taken ages.

Am going to take your advice. Our 2nd date was lovely, even better than the first, we both said so at the time. His text to me last night had 7 kisses Grin. He text me today...there's no reason to think all is not fine other than that he couldn't see me tomorrow. So hopefully I will hear from him in the next day or so with an alternative :)

Yogagirl17 · 06/11/2012 22:37

lubey wow, you rock Grin

Kirsty - meh

lubeybooby · 06/11/2012 22:44
