Aw, I'm hurt. Sad

Morning all.

I was on pof last night. Looked at a few profiles. If they write the following I never message 'sorry if I don't answer your message it means you are not my type'. That really annoys me as it smacks of arrogance.

I got chatting to a few and asked them all whether they were in fact looking for an intimate encounter even through they had stated relationship. Yep many were looking for IE and asked if I was interested.

Got chatting to a couple who seem ok. It's hard work isn't it?

Yes very....I notice this morning amongst my POF messages: 'hello there little miss pretty pops' I am a grown woman in her 40s FFS...

natureslaw · 17/12/2012 08:32

Xmas Grin how do you know I've got pretty pops?

48howdidthathappen · 17/12/2012 08:33

lulu I agree if I want to shag someone I do. I play by my own rules. Mr R&R asked me if I was a man in a former life, lots of men have said similar to me. I slept with my ex on the first date, we lasted 25yrs.

I have slept with 3 men since I became single.

1 through OD. A Muppet.
2 through RL. Nice guys.

I know there are decent blokes on OD sites, just get the impression they are thin on the ground.

Nature I guess the split crotch panties and peep hole bra lingerie set that I am wearing in pic 3 ....must have given it away ....oops..

48howdidthathappen · 17/12/2012 08:51

Mr R&R has just texted. A nice slightly flirty text relevant to us Smile I think he maybe a grown up.
A zany, wild in bed grown up Grin

48howdidthathappen · 17/12/2012 08:58

Oh. When we weren't engaging, we talked, all night.

Cherry on the top Smile

48howdidthathappen · 17/12/2012 09:31

Why oh why did I just check out OKC.

Saw a bloke on there I know in RL. He is seeing someone. He was last online 8am today!

natureslaw · 17/12/2012 09:33

ike yes, that could have been it, I suppose Xmas Grin

48 'engaging'? Xmas Grin

NC - I'm no longer nature because Ironman saw me posting. Shhh.

OhLittleTownofWesternWind · 17/12/2012 11:20

So very happy today. Spent a wonderful night with LM yesterday, plenty of whatever-we're-calling-Coffee this thread and lots of talking again, feeling emotionally very close to him. I think we just "get" each other totally about so many things, similar backgrounds and everything. He is just fantastic. He is getting more serious about me/us or possibly he's just admitting to his feelings that have been there a little while - can't believe how much things have changed in a week since we had the talk about letting down our barriers. They are coming down on both sides, not totally but enough that we are both able to feel a lot more relaxed and secure with each other. It's wonderful.

Not seeing him again til Friday. It seems like such a long time! Then it's going to be difficult over Christmas too so I'm going to have to make the most of it.

thanks Flo that cheered up my day

notthegrinch · 17/12/2012 13:13

That made me Xmas Grin

Yogagirl17 · 17/12/2012 13:36

Ha, that was very funny Flo!

I am trying - YET AGAIN!!! - not to let stupid fucking wanker cheating bastard fuckmuppet XH get to me. Honestly, it's been 3 days, 3 days, since he last promised to behave in a more civilised manner towards me. Today we had a conversation that went something like this:

Me: Will that work once the account is deleted?
Him: Fine I'll delete the account
Me: Oh, ok. Thanks for answering my question.
Him: Geez, why do you have to be so confrontational?!

AngryAngryAngry

Sorry, done now, as you were.

KirstyWirsty · 17/12/2012 13:45

Flo Absolutely brilliant!!! Grin

BillMasen · 17/12/2012 13:57

Hmm, so, I'm meeting Moon Girl for a drink tonight. I know I know, but I plan to find out I we can just be normal friends without any of this on/off dating/ignoring crap. If we can, great. We get on well, and I'd love to have her as a friend. If not, I'm not playing any more.

lulubellaboozle · 17/12/2012 14:56

Flo Xmas Grin very funny!!

Yoga 3 days? impressive he must of tried very hard to go that long! I find that stupid fucking wanker cheating bastard fuckmuppets STBXH's have an inbuilt fuck-it up gene which means unfortunately you have to take everything they say with a healthy dose of disbelief and cynicism.

who? me? bitter? never!

Afternoon all,

I have been away for far too long & this thread has galloped ahead at a dizzying rate. I can't keep up!

OWW That is brilliant news. I'm really happy things are going so well for you.Grin

48 I couldn't agree more with your way of looking at things. I have a friend who has recently started dating a guy she met over FB. Two nights ago she told me in all seriousness that she wasn't going to sleep with him for weeks & when she does she was going to pretend she is practically a virgin (at 26!!!) Her reasoning being that men don't respect women who enjoy sex. There is so much wrong with her thinking that I don't even know where to START putting it right.

Oh and in my world I am, would you believe it, still seeing my man boy. He is adorable and I literally don't know how to handle it. It's made me realise just how many issues I have about men/relationships. I can barely handle anyone treating me nicely. It confuses me & almost depresses me. Why that is I have literally no idea. Confused

lulubellaboozle · 17/12/2012 15:52

at Milk, nice to see you back, maybe just enjoy man boy and revel in it?!

OWW meant to say I am so pleased it is going so well with LM, brilliant news!

48howdidthathappen · 17/12/2012 16:58

Milk Maybe a man treating you well, puts you on guard to protect yourself incase it goes all Pete Tong Confused kinda of waiting for the end of the good times.

notthegrinch · 17/12/2012 17:01

48 I like the sound of Mr Oz Xmas Grin

BillMasen · 17/12/2012 17:04

And MG has cancelled. That's that then. Shame as she'd have made a good friend but I'm done with any messing.
