nomore PM me a link and I will look at it if you like.

poppy no no no no no no no no. I don't like the sound of him at all. He sounds like a total creep.

Yoga are you veggie???

ike1 · 08/12/2012 10:18

Wickanninish the world of OD must seem like a shallow pool indeed after a long and loving marriage. My commiserations about your loss.x

48howdidthathappen · 08/12/2012 10:25

poppy RUN!

jaffa Bacon sarnies in suspenders. You couldn't make this stuff up Grin

Bill sounds like a great first date Smile

Had a great night out. Nothing from Mr Fuck. YAY! Deleted his number. Who needs it.

lulubellaboozle · 08/12/2012 10:26

Morning all, just catching up

Dean I can only echo all the advice above, please contact her and let us know how you get on

Poppy red flags! I wouldn't be so worried about the jokey comments but the compartmentalising of his life, seems quite controlling - here's the space you fit into type of stuff? don't like the sound of that.

Jaffa glad you had a good evening, I had a similar investigation earlier in the year and it was nothing too. will be thinking of you.

Bantababy you can pick up these lurgy's when you your immune system is low, have you been tiring yourself out recently? Wink

Waves to everyone else

Yogagirl17 · 08/12/2012 10:28

ike Veggie? No, it's just there was a lot of talk of turkeys and 'flaps' recently! It was a bit much for my delicate soul. Grin

ike1 · 08/12/2012 10:58

Lol we do seem to have a 'butchers shop' approach to describing stuff on this thread..

48howdidthathappen · 08/12/2012 10:59

Grrr! My dog has chewed the head of my lady shave Angry disgusting creature!

Poppysquad · 08/12/2012 11:00

Morning all - I've been thinking similar things about Merc Man too. I didn't realise the review I gave him last night. I also do wonder if he is older than he claims, he certainly looked it. I can't do the sex and no commitments stuff. It's not me and I'm not impressed with the wealth - so what?
I'm going to leave things with him for now, see if he gets in touch. If he's not so be it.

ike1 · 08/12/2012 11:00

Cor these dogs.... lady shave heads and used condoms why bother feeding them???

Scattylatte · 08/12/2012 11:13

Morning all

poppy I find it takes about 48hours to assimilate a date and whether I liked them if I didn't dislike them instantly. The whole excitement gets in the way. It sounds like you aren't keen so when he does contact you, the ball is in your court.

jaffa just take one investigation at a time. In the clinic they can usually get you investigated and sorted in one day. It's horrible waiting though.

wickannish OD is really very harsh. Your wariness is a good start!

yoga I still chuckle at the message you got with 'ya cunt' in it. What in earth??

bantambabe hope you are feeling better. You will need your strength for tomorrow. Do you like artists company?

sponge where are you? How are you?

Scattylatte · 08/12/2012 11:14

Oh still texting and talking to fireman. Seeing him next Friday.

Scattylatte · 08/12/2012 11:14

Sorry Meeting. We haven't met yet. No red flags yet although he never shows his teeth in photos.

mercury7 · 08/12/2012 11:18

prob' is older than he says Poppy very common for men over 40 to knock a decade off!

48howdidthathappen · 08/12/2012 11:32

poppy sounds like your twat radar is working Smile

scatty I had a date with a bloke with very poor teeth. He was still a nice bloke though.

Gonna get a decent pic done as mine is crap and get back on the horse Grin

Yogagirl17 · 08/12/2012 11:48

Hi scatty - 'Ya cunt' was just in his profile, never got as far as a message...shame. Hope your fireman has good teeth. Bad teeth are a real turn off for me.

Wickaninnish · 08/12/2012 11:53

Laughing at the teeth thing scatty. Had a wierd date with a a guy with very bad teeth who spent a good hour telling me about the Veneers he was about to have fitted.

When he blew me out by email the next day it was because he said I needed to get my teeth fixed !!

Anyone would have thought he was a dentist rather than the gynastics coach he professed to be Hmm

48howdidthathappen · 08/12/2012 11:57

wick Teeth fetish! New one on me Grin

Movingforward123 · 08/12/2012 12:32

Hi everyone, your not going to believe this, you know I should be going out for drinks with my sisters next door neighbour well it's not happening!

First time we arranged to meet up was a couple of months ago, we spoke on Facebook said we would meet up in a couple of weeks then I didn't hear from him to meet up that weekend. I also didn't contact him.

We have been speaking recently and said we would go for drinks 2 weekends ago, dd was ill so I cancelled. But text him to say I can't make it.

We have been texting more then usual and he text be asking if I have a boyfriend as he heard something from my sister. I said no. We arranged to meet this weekend, about a week ago.

I text him Thursday to ask If he still wants to go for drinks, no response ConfusedConfused

Strange as he has now asked me to go for drinks 3 times!!! What is his problem?

I dot mind if he can't make it but how rude not to respond to my text!!

scatty my first match date was a fireman who didn't show his teeth in his photos, I didn't register until I met him and wondered how I had missed the teeth, checked his profile again when I got home and mouth was closed every time!! Having said that he was lovely but just lived too far away!!

lulubellaboozle · 08/12/2012 12:40

what I wouldn't worry about the hope you slept well text, I'm sure it was just a way of saying good morning, although a simple morning would have been better! I don't think it is sinister, just keen but depends if it is too keen for you?

mercury7 · 08/12/2012 12:44

agree with Lulu I think he's just trying to make contact with a bit of small talk.

Mind you there have been a few people who started texting me 'good morning' and 'goodnight' very early on and I found it very off putting

48howdidthathappen · 08/12/2012 12:46

moving No manners. No class in my world. I am tough, maybe too tough at times.

whatthedog I never give my phone number until after meeting. They nearly always want to give me their number before, upto them, I do not want the intrusion from a complete stranger.

Movingforward123 · 08/12/2012 12:49

whatdoes maybe give him a little more time, I don't think it's a terrible thing to say. But I have been put off by things before and freaked out. Smile
