Milk I just nearly spluttered my drink everywhere at 'at least 60% hotter' :o I like your platonic dating idea as well!

hope your boudoir sees excellent action v soon

MacAndCheese · 20/11/2012 21:38

Oh, that would be his insecurity talking then Yoga Wink

I don't know. It's just a bit blah. Confused I'm looking forward to tomorrow though. How are you these days?

Milkandlotsandlotsofwine · 20/11/2012 21:38

I think we could be onto something here ladies. The platonic Mumsnet dating group is a goer! Grin

domestic I will pass my man boy along to you when I am finished. He is as cute as apple pie. Also probably too young to not do EVERYTHING you tell him to.

In other words, the ideal man! Wink

Milk, sorry about friend with headfuck. It could be any number of reasons he did it - but do the right thing and go on that date with manboy, and get a shag too if you want one - I always find I have a clearer mind if Im not climbing the walls for sex for weeks Wink

thankfully Ive only been a month or 6 weeks or so. this means I find it easier to not jump into bed with this one after just 2 dates. I can build things.

though is it shallow to want to know now if he has a) a decent penis and b) knows how to use it and his hands?!?

He has 2 kids, he's had previous relationships so I keep telling myself he cant be utter shit in bed......

God I hate the build up to that part.

lubeybooby · 20/11/2012 21:40

Mac oh lordy - I am all shopped out now but I'll try and find links in a bit :o which could lead to more shopping, help!

hatesponge · 20/11/2012 21:42

Hordes of lovely new things sounds fab :)

I think I may date myself for the rest of the year cos lets face it no other bastard wants to date me and buy myself lots of lovely Xmas presents!

MacAndCheese · 20/11/2012 21:43

Excellent work lubey Grin

Ah, payday in 10 days, first one since June. Lovely.

MacAndCheese · 20/11/2012 21:44

And you know you'll like the things you buy sponge

Double whammy Grin

Yogagirl17 · 20/11/2012 21:44

I would date myself but I can't afford to take myself anywhere. Sad

Bugger, replied to Gingerbread man out of pure boredom.

lubeybooby · 20/11/2012 21:45

oh and OWW I have wondered the same thing. It only became final today so at least he's said now, but not having to guess in the run up to this would have been nice.

I think he'd have said sooner if we had seen each other since he knew but we haven't... him having his issues about wanting to say things face to face and all that. He did do really well keeping me informed for a while but it all slipped when he chose HK over USA it seems... Oh well anyway no point dwelling on it now. At least i know with some notice and haven't just dumped him like i was going to and THEN find out or something, which would have been horrible.

Right anyway, not thinking about it now. Onwards and upwards and all that. Ship shape and bristol fashion. Eyes right.

Milkandlotsandlotsofwine · 20/11/2012 21:46

smokin The trouble is, with the shag comes the inevitable dropping off of interest afterwards. It's impossible to know what to do for the best sometimes. I will definitely be going though. If Mr Headfuck doesn't want me I don't want him! (even though I do actually, more than anything)

sponge I will date you. We are both in London after all. Go on, you know you want to! Wink

The Evil Ex never bought me Xmas or birthday presents tosser. I am as a result rather well practiced at buying my own...

yoga what was the story with Gingerbread man? Have you been on a date?

lubeybooby · 20/11/2012 21:48

sponge I highly recommend a shopping splurge!!

MyLittleMiracles · 20/11/2012 21:51

My ex did the first birthday and first two christmases, after that forget it, buying me anything to eat was a big deal!! Now i buy whatever i like when ever i like funds permitting cos mainly i am skint

Yogagirl17 · 20/11/2012 21:53

sponge Started chatting to Gingerbread man on POF at the same time as the Engineer. Decided I liked the Engineer a bit better so Gingerbread man dropped off the radar and has just reappeared. He's all right, not bad looking, but his messages are already boring me!

"Shallow Man" replied - "What makes you think I'm vain and shallow? I'm allowed to be shallow. I look after myself and just don't want to date anyone fat or ugly." Not the sharpest tool in the box. I think I'll stop teasing the poor thing.

MacAndCheese · 20/11/2012 21:55

Oh he's obviously got his priorities straight then Hmm

Is he on POF Yoga?

SkaffenAmtiskaw · 20/11/2012 21:55

Yoga looking forward to reading the reply Grin

Well I have two dates (or rather, first meetings) lined up: one with the frustrated writer on saturday and the other with the real ale buff on monday! How exciting!

SkaffenAmtiskaw · 20/11/2012 21:59

Oops I took so long to catch up and type that he replied in the meantime. Disappointingly unamusing reply too!

smokinaces · 20/11/2012 22:01

oooh, can we have a sharing of worst profiles on POF?

Just found my old old profile. From what I'd written you can tell I had become rather disillusioned with it all.

But it reminded me of the worst picture I saw as a profile picture - a guy used his wedding picture and blanked out his wifes face. classy.

hatesponge · 20/11/2012 22:02

Milk Grin

Yoga maybe Gingerbread is just a bit dull on paper? Trouble is, if he can't hold your attention via messages, then it puts you off wanting to make any effort to meet him, I know it would me. I was messaging a guy on POF like that a while back, seemed nice enough just ever so dull, couldn't even get a lol out of him, let alone a haha!

Skaffen well done! you must report back in due course with a detailed account of both dates :)

hatesponge · 20/11/2012 22:03

Worst profiles - probably most of the blokes I have been on dates with Blush

I would link to a few of them but it's too cringingly embarrassing.

lubeybooby · 20/11/2012 22:07

Sponge I have a few of those in my own dating memory - BoR was one of them. Dear GOD

hatesponge · 20/11/2012 22:12

The 800-oddtextsin4days scaffolder is my personal lowlight.

A firm he works for are currently doing the scaffolding on a site opposite my office. I literally cringe every time I walk past in case I see him, and am reminded of my own utterly shit taste in men when desperate

Milkandlotsandlotsofwine · 20/11/2012 22:12

He blanked out his wife's face?

There are no words...

Milkandlotsandlotsofwine · 20/11/2012 22:14

Come on hate that's only 200 texts a day.

Give a guy a break. You're just too picky you! Wink
