Well purse my fanjo, giraffes in wheelchairs and submariners going dowwwnnnn - the dating thread hits 30!

[JulietteMontague]

Off we go...

Thank you yoga.

:)

snape don't beat yourself up

milk hmmm ...

bant glad it's going well

Does "whine" go with fish?

A nice white one is very nice ;)

Bant come on, we are all sitting here feeling sorry for ourselves - please provide some light relief!

Snape good luck with the new job app. Would it be selfish to ask that all the woo temporarily go to helping folks sort out job & money worries for a while?

The woo goes where it feels it needs to go.... :)

i know snape.
but you know, if he cared he would be here now. and hes not.

he took what he needed and then ran when he found out he couldnt keep doing that.

You know, giving up for a short while is allowed. its not defeat.
Aging potatoes dont boost self esteem, aging potatoes dont make you feel great. Hens teeth, ginger mullets and scaffolders are not worthy and we all deserve better.

Take a break. cats/ books/ dc's/ cake and rum will serve you well. Its xmas, its cold, its time for hunkering down and spending time with those that love you for who you are. Who give back.

Yes come on Bant let us live our lives though you tonight.

Well man boy just text to ask how I'm feeling and to thank me for a lovely time. So perhaps not THAT much of a fuck muppet/arse badger/twat face. We shall wait and see...

watch hope you feel better soon, those bugs are not nice.

snape it is shit. I'm sorry. But as yoga says, it is part of the process, it will get better, I do believe that.

And honestly I get the stuff about not fitting in, I don't, never have, different reasons but same result. Only one man has ever got me, or known how to deal with me, and loved me just as I was. I have a tiny flicker hope that one day I might find that again with someone else, however unlikely it seems most of the time!

Yes, I get that. If he gave a flying fuck. He'd do something about this. But he doesn't. So he won't.

Arguably, best to find out and not get further embroiled by things.

On the vaguely plus side, just messaged stunning man on OKC who is the spit of tim minchin and I would gladly show him the time of his life, ruin him for all other women & then walk away. or elope?

Hi sponge

snape ah, the woo goes where the woo needs to go. Got it.

milk glad he's been in touch. I know you say you weren't embarrassed but he may well have been embarrassed about not being able to cum last night. Hopefully he will get the fuck over it.

yoga - any news on your job front?
happy to send good thoughts you way too.
and if i can be selfiosh and ask for some my way. packing sucks. moving 10 days before xmas sucks

sponge - and snap with me too.

As a side ive vagely agreed to hang out with ywk for some photography lessons in the new year once im sorted. just on the basis that, gah. i dont know. on the basis of history, shared stuff, old times.

oh and on a unrelated note, i have lost weight!!!
this is something of a miracle.
I cant lose weight, last year i calorie counted for 5 months, logging on my fitness pal, exercising, eating 1000cals - 12000 a day, and lost a measley 10lbs.

ive been doing dukan about 80% of the time and have lost 8lbs in 2.5 weeks.

something of a revelation!!

Okay. Firstly sorry I realised my grinning comment in the middle of a bit of a downer moment on the thread looked inappropriate, but I didn't have the chance to read through when I was just going to the loo.

When I turned up she looked a bit like her pictures, it's kind of tough to judge wowness while making introductions, but definitely nice looking. She's quite different from what I was expecting, strangely when she drinks she gets posher. I like posh. We talked for 3 hours, a few drinks each and she's funny, we made each other laugh, took the piss out of each other a little bit, she slapped me on the arm at one point then kissed me to make up for it. I said I wouldn't ask her out again during the first date in case of the awkwardness when she said no and she said well I'm going to say yes, let's do it again, so a bit more kissing, then taxis home (separately)

oops, added extra ooo's there.
1000 to 1200.
if i was eating 12000 i can understand why no weight came off!

Ooh yay for bantam!!

snape thats how it was with my lovely RL guy who has gone to OZ.
We both felt from the moment we met as if we has known each other all our lives. I loved being with him. Told him stuff I never told anyone and he never made me feel bad about it. My soul mate, which before meeting him I thought was a load of tosh.

I know if I had asked him to stay he would of, but he is younger than me, no kids yet.

I cared enough to let him go

Right now I'm home and not trying to read the thread while on a date (which kind of ruins the point of the date really)

Milk not to be too defensive on man-boy but to be honest, when men finish, half of our brain shuts down, we want to sleep, and that's pretty much all. Cuddling is normally the most we can manage. Any perceived change might not be what you worry that it is, give him time to follow up and judge him on what he does next, not on whether things felt strange at that moment. Yes he may be a dick but it's a very vulnerable moment for us, strangely, letting our guard down like that.

bant. Ooooooooh! Yay! :)

watch. Dukan, brill. I'm back on it for first two weeks of December I think, pre Xmas hunkering down...I anticipated fuck-ton of cheese. :)

Watch well done on the weight loss, that's great! And the house stuff is stressful but it will be sorted soon and then all will be well.

Bantam Sounds great! Obviously not too many LOLs then. So why is she the Artist?

cheese soothes all wounds. or just covers them in a protective layer of fat :)

yoga because she's an artist? Well, lecturer with a gallery

All right, no need for sarcasm. Couldn't remember if you said what she did.

I prefer chocolate to cheese, although cheese does go better with wine.

Hi to everyone who is feeling less than chipper today.
snape, I hope the feelings.start to ebb soon. I know that feeling of emptiness, traum and depression and its horrible.

watch. hope you.feel better soon.

bant. glad your date.was.good..

No dating for me today. spent a load of.money on lqmpshades I can.ill afford

cheese soothes all wounds. or just covers them in a protective layer of fat

substitute chocolate/crisps for cheese and there's the story of my overweight life!

bantam sounds like it went well :)

So, you get a reply to a text which says that it's lovely to hear from you, that's not just being polite is it? Or is it?!
