Twirling body builders, dominant alpha males and been hurt in the past-Dating thread part 29

[Milkandlotsandlotsofwine]

Took the liberty of starting a new thread.

Off you go ladies and gents...

Morning all.

mercury you just find all the good-uns!

bant telly was rubbish last night anyway

So the engineer replied "Nae probs only a game at this point ,good luck with your search". Quite civilised. At least he didn't call me sista or babe again.

Juliette messaged someone on GS for me but so far no reply.

Morning all

Fate I'll look out for it

Kirsty, two weeks! I think this confirms i'm doing the right thing keeping out of it. Blimey. Good luck with the chaps/dates lined up though

Yoga - phew, good reply from him

Fate, post here i say :) we all discuss things other than od.... jobs, ex's, food, xmas, houses etc.....

Cheers for asking fayster :) it wont be today :(
Have to enter the second guarantor details which cant happen till today or tomorrow ( company processing time) and it will take 4 ish days from then.....
So we are assuming it will be ok and packing in readyness.

Yoga- glad he took it well .

Mel - agree with what fayster said...

watch still keeping fingers xxx'd for your house. A friend might have a lead on a job for me. Not a brilliant job but it's local and good hours and she's going to hand in a cv and put in a good word for me before they adverstise. In the mean time I'm off to the job centre again.

Phew Yoga, at least he took it well! Telly was not rubbish last night! Guy Martin followed by Homeland is mos' def good telly.

Poppy feeling lonely is normal if you're not used to being on your own. Chin up, tits out.

Melanthe, I wouldn't bother trying to get answers, you might not like what he has to say.

Good luck to the daters, I'm staying on the sofa.

Oh, as a real ale drinker I'm not into trainspotting or D&D. Nor do I knit my own beard hair. I did get quite animated when I saw a Vincent Black Shadow last week.

I'm staying on the sofa, too. I'd love to be dating and I know I'm in for another fairly lonely Xmas, but I am resisting the pull of the OD again.

watch - crossing all sorts of bits for you on the house.

oh yeah, i forgot about the real ale thing... no, its cool to like real ales, bit hipster actually, or certainly is round here. bant, sometimes you are quite out on your assumptions i think. sorry your date didnt go great though.

thanks for the wishes on the house... i wish we definatley knew. I cant see why it wont go through, but until you have the 100% ok and the contract, its not confirmed. Once i get that i need to try to sweet talk my current agent to letting me go early and a very kind MNetter has penned an email for me. so im hoping it will all work out. If it does i shall be moving on the 15th dec which is going to be spectactulary shite, but there we go.
least i wont have time to have a lonely xmas.

yoga- excellent. I hope it does lead somewhere. i have everything crossed for you. It would be a great start to the new year for you :)
( and you know what, doesnt matter how ' good' a job it is. A job is a job in this climate, they are hard to come by.

I did get quite animated when I saw a Vincent Black Shadow last week.

Ooh, what will you be like if you ever see a Black Lightning ?

watch re the job - when i said it's not a 'brilliant' job I just meant it won't be the most exciting thing in the world but trust me, if i get the chance, I will JUMP at it! I won't even have to think twice. Might not know anything for a while though as there's nothing official happening yet.

so you guys were right...

talk about shot down in flames.... date off.... im not what he is looking for.... after a week of emailing and telling me Im exactly what he has been looking for... but he does want to carry on emailing as he loves the contact with me.....

Men aye ?! Still, need to try and see it for what it was, a week of fun chatting to somebody...

Lesson learned also, meet fairly quickly, before engaging too much....

skye - rubbish, innit? But there are women who do exactly the same, just in lesser quantities than the men! I never get the "I don't want to date you but can we carry on emailing?" which is a similar thing to "there's no spark there but I do like you and it'd be really good if we could be friends". I've already got lots of friends, thanks, I'm here to date and find a relationship, not a friendship.

Nicholas and watch, that's reassuring what you're saying about real ale drinkers. :)
Good luck with the job Yoga

Skye to hear that, it's really crap. It's reminding me I should really get on with arranging a date with my frustrated writer...

What is a Vincent Black Shadow???

Vincent Black Shadow = Classic motorbike from the 40's/50's.

Its just so shit. I was honest with him, sent him full length pics of myself , told him I was overweight. (He is also overweight...), and then after we hooked up on facebook and he saw more pics, he decided that I was too big for him....

This is after loads of emails saying its the personality that counts, look at me, Im big too, blah blah blah........ now he has decided that I am too big... I was honest all the way down the line, which he admits...

So its ok for him to be short fat and bald, but not me. (not that Im bald, lol). I understand that its not for everybody, but HE was the one who kept spouting off that its the personality that counts.....

Well Florentine, a mates dad has a Vincent Black Prince in his garage which he bought for about £70 in the 60s. No, you can't have his address. I would love a Black Lightning though...

Ale is cool. Not just CAMRA definitions of ale. If you go to a Brewdog pub you will be served no beer that is certified as real ale. Just bloody good beer that actually tastes of something. They're currently in Camden, Nottingham, Leeds, Edinburgh and Aberdeen.

There's a Brewdog in Glasgow as well if anyone's interested. (A date took me there, the date was meh, the beer was good!)

Skye - as it's personality that counts and his is clearly crap, sounds like no great loss for you anyways

Sky. Dont worry.. rookie error :)

Online dating is full of pitfalls and muppets.
Error 1- you believed what he said... it all needs to be taken with a pinch of salt.
Error 2- you made yourself vunerable andit sounds like you appolgised for hpw you look ... why would you even do that? Up your self esteem a bit. Dont ever appolgise for tbings like that nor what life has yhrown at you. Also dont give personnal/ life history to these people, they are strangers.
Error 3- you let him on your fb to judge you before you even met.

Its crap. But we have all made exqctly the same mistakes! You live and learn and wont make them again.... welcome to the online dating club!!! Lol.

Can't keep up so marking my place

Sorry to everyone feeling blue and happy to everyone that is having a good week

ooh how interesting. I'm going to the Brewdog in Camden on saturday night. Never heard of it before but it's on the pub-crawl list, and mentioned here. Coincidence or woo?

Definitely woo Bant

I lived in Boston for years (Massachusetts, not Lincolnshire) so I'm a girl who's at home in a good brew pub.

bant definitely fate .. Did you text your date and let her know that you won't be having a 2nd date?

Skye sorry to hear that. Are you planning on keeping up the emails? I think he's got a cheek asking actually!

bant sounds woo! Is this another date?
