My dog ate one once (yes, used!) - she doesn't have a dog, does she?

I don't think anyone's that crazy, are they...?

ike1 · 03/12/2012 22:49

Yep Juliette that sounds a pretty accurate character reading...

bantamrooster · 03/12/2012 22:49

Juliette - well yes, I'm quite aware that I'm awesome and amazing and wonderful. But she does seem to be following on from the Safrican in terms of telling me how amazing and wonderful and awesome I am. And she inadvertently used the 'L' word earlier, and is talking about meeting my DC in 6 months.

ike1 · 03/12/2012 22:51

eh?????

ike1 · 03/12/2012 22:52

inadvertently used the L word????

fayster · 03/12/2012 22:52

Ike, I completely agree, the blasé attitude to condom use is definitely worrying, especially if she is desperate for a baby. I was just trying to say that her previous conversation doesn't mean that she's that desperate. What does your gut tell you, Bant? Did she have the opportunity to whisk away the missing article, or do you think it's more likely that it's under a cushion?

I'd also find the 'girlfriend' talk more disturbing than the naked pictures at this stage.

JulietteMontague · 03/12/2012 22:52

Oh fuck Bant. Just seen the condom post. Yes some people would do that, Fuck fuck fuck.

It's not just the missing condom, its that your gut is telling you something was off or you wouldn't have even thought about it after a night like that.

I mean, I gathered most of them up and put them in the bin.

Bantam, just how many condoms did you get through ? I now have an image of you staggering towards the kitchen bin with armfuls of slimy rubber.....Xmas Shock

Maybe the contents of the 'missing' one are now residing in her freezer as a popsicle.

Xmas Grin

Ermmm after about 8 days I might have got around the 3rd text or something...

48howdidthathappen · 03/12/2012 22:53

Sorry bant the term 'baby' would have done it for me Grin

ike1 · 03/12/2012 22:55

Oh no Florentine ...now I have gone off Coffee thanks for that!!!

Scattylatte · 03/12/2012 22:55

Bantam. I'm not sure what to think but trust your instincts here. From the beginning they have been telling you something.

Kirsty. What a bugger. Next! Im sure you won't give him a second thought.

Well, as always, not much in my dating pool. I managed to get dumped by message tonight. I messaged him on pof and after a couple of exchanges whereby he wasn't impressed that I wasn't that impressed by his job: he wrote 'I don't know why you messaged me. You are clearly not that into me. Nite'
Ffs!

fayster · 03/12/2012 22:56

God, I type slow.

ike1 · 03/12/2012 22:57

After reading on one Fri Bum Sex thread that a shit filled condom was frozen to be used as a dildo your popsicle suggestion might not be too far off the mark Florentine!!!

ike1 · 03/12/2012 22:58

Scatty I've been dumped like that -'confused' and 'depressed' one buffoon with my wit apparently sheesh

JulietteMontague · 03/12/2012 22:59

er, was a bit in shock there. I do know several women who suddenly found themselves unexpectedly pregnant in their mid thirties. I think it was genuinely accidental but there was a definite cluster around that time, some were single, there was a work affair, others had DPs who were less than keen.

Thinking this through, unless the missing one was the last one used it would be very unlikely that anything would come of it for practical reasons.

bantamrooster · 03/12/2012 23:00

48 - yeah 'baby' has kind of put me off too..
Florentine - I did say 'lots and lots of Coffee' - 5 times altogether. Hence the limping today.
Juliette - I'd like to think she's just very passionate, and I can talk to her reasonably about what we both want like adults, and call it off if that makes sense. I get the feeling she won't talk like an adult though.

Scattylatte · 03/12/2012 23:01

Ike1. It makes me laugh that emotions get tangled up in 3 solid messages.

If i was having Coffee, I'd be off it now.

ike1 · 03/12/2012 23:02

mmmm wouldnt the spermicide in the condom help to kill the sperm???

FlorentinePogen · 03/12/2012 23:02

it would be very unlikely that anything would come of it for practical reasons.

She may be decoding Bantam's genome as we type.

ike1 · 03/12/2012 23:03

I know Scatty lol!! Jeesh Bant she 'milked' you for all you were worth!!!

FlorentinePogen · 03/12/2012 23:05

Bantam, 5 times........Xmas Shock

Sheesh, you youngsters........

MirandaWest · 03/12/2012 23:07

How long did it take you to have sex 5 times? Am not sure I have the stamina any more Grin

ike1 · 03/12/2012 23:08

That's you sorted for the next year then Bant...

mercury7 · 03/12/2012 23:11

Good Coffee can be very intoxicating and I have struggled at times not to let it go to my head, women do seem to be more prone to it than men (?) and I can see why men back off so quickly when women are too full on too quickly.
It can be painful and embarrassing for both parties, god knows it has been for me often enough.

I often wonder if the pleasure of Coffee is really worth all the angst Confused
