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...

mercury I hate that! The only one that's worse is the self-portrait in the mirror, clearly showing the toilet or bathroom sink in the background!

Ok, so I kind of know what to say to the engineer - "Hi . I've really enjoyed getting to know you a bit over the last week or so but I don't really think there's a spark there...." but what comes after that? How do I finish it?

MLM I've heard eeyore is hung like a horse lucky you.

I actually love my cat more than most humans. Told ds2 yesterday that my pecking order is (1) doctor who (2) cat (3) children.

Think I might marry my cat. Except she's a girl cat so my reluctance to dabble in sapphism (plus that tedious cross-species stuff) would put her out of bounds...

yoga eeeven worse than that is the erect penis, taken from above with the toilet as a backdrop.
what kind of TOOL would have their toilet in their profile pictures??
It happens alot!

Yoga, my (vague) suggestions fwiw
I feel that I'm not able to make the right kind of connection with you
I hope you understand but I feel it's best if we dont continue with our..
I dont feel that there is a basis for..

Snape - better a hole than an arsehole. Chin up.

yoga - what you have said is fine, i dont think it needs adding too.

sponge - baby shower? grim. american shite.

so - am still crushing :) did my hair super cool today, and everyone was like ' look at you with your sexed up hair' so i claimed it was 'sexed up sunday'
more importantly mr super cute salesman was there, we said hi and grinned over a very crowded floor :) and then got chatting and a bit of banter later on in the day. And now i know his name too. Its like being 15 and fancying someone from afar.... :) :) i was looking out for him when i arrived and quite happy when i saw he was in.
Clearly i need help.... doubt very much it will come to anything as im sure i cant be his type and am probably too old ( im guessing hes 27?) but its quite nice :)

oh and snape - weepiness is allowed, its been a few weeks.
it will pass in time. and you know what? you have done amazing to have gone just over 3 weeks. be proud of yourself!

I think it's lovely you have a workplace crush. watch. Certainly makes the day go more pleasantly!

oww. :-) yes, but he was my arsehole. 'Cept he wasn't. Ah well.

Snape what Western said!

watch thanks & glad all going so well with the house (and the sexy boy at work )

argh, ok, email has been sent

sorry yoga - it's a tough thing to have to do, but you know you had to do it. Like ripping off a plaster.

yoga well done for sending it, now have a or a

Not one single man has sent me a picture of their genitals, what's wrong with me?
Although I have got a 2nd date tonight and a third one with the same man tomorrow

Snape I love my cats too but they can be a bit aloof for my liking. I think I'll stick with myself - and yes we should definitely double date :o

Watch :o @ sexed up sunday and your crush - you never know, and I don't reckon you're too old for a 27 yr old. He might think like me too

Yoga, argh good luck

Mercury there's a pic doing the round on t'interweb of a woman who did that with the loo in the background. Avec massive floater!

Way ahead of you on the

Bantam - I thought you had a date tonight? Oh, just realised it's only 6:30. Maybe should slow down on the

sponge, i read that as ' its a load of fuck' not luck as you have actaully written. although it is also a lot of fuck.
:)

lubey - sorry, missed you off my thing. sorry about BC, tbh i think you have made the right choice, its been a bit up and down, and what with the fact its soon going to become VERY long distance, then its kind of not workable. Well done for doing something about it and saying ' no, this isnt for me' it takes balls to do that :) date yourself, i like that plan :)

And i like my crush too. Im sure he grins and everyone and mouths hi at them all too. of course he does... but,well, you know.... its nice. plus there are lots of way more attractive girls ( not plump mid 30's women) who are there for him to flirt with.....

Watch yeah, it's a shame as we've had SUCH a bloody good time and worked really well through a load of shit, but recently it all seems to have slipped backwards and I CBA to be the only one raising an issue or the only one fixing things, especially when it's going to be very long distance. Fuck it, that's enough now. Just one of those really frustrating impossible bloody things.

no, i think thats a good and very healthy attitude :) You have recognised its you making most of the effort, and however much fun it has been, its not fun when its one doing all the work. I think its not anyones fault as such, just one of those things of wanting different things and being in different places...
Hope you are ok though...

Sorry MNers feeling fucking lonely tonight - and it's crap. I need to get a grip. I am just tearful after such a stupid, short relationship. I really thought he liked me...:( It has really got me down

poppy, not to sound harsh, but it was just a few dates, not really a relationship at all. Dont feel crap for too long, he doesnt sound like he was nice, so hes not worth being upset about.

I know Watchout I think it's just me at the moment

i think its more the hope of someone liking you, and not being on your own thats upsetting. but he wasnt nice so dont attribute him with the upset, and certainly dont look to yourself for blame.

Be nice to yourself for a day and then move on :)

( we have all been there, its par of the course with online dating)

It's not so much the person, though.. It's the always being alone. Trying your best, the other person being less than you expected or deserved and re hoisting the bosom and starting over. It's tiring.

X post with sympatico-twin watch :)

That's it. I feel bloodly lonely. Really, really lonely. I am a bit down

ha, thats because its true
:)

its about that. and it being exhausting keeping having to keep trying.

Have to say though, im pretty happy on my own right now and am glad to see the back of online dating. im sure this might wear out at somepoint.

oh, and, one of my new neighbours ( IF i get the house) is a single dad that has his children at the weekends.... i am hoping hes some kind of tim minchin/ derren brown/ russel brand/ jross hybrid.

:)
