Crotch grabbing, jelly nailing, double-quick portions and man parts floating in a pear tree...dating thread 33 survived Christmas so bring on NYE!

[OhLittleTownofWesternWind]

Here we are!

wallison how long have you been seeing him? I agree about the exes kids in the bed after the first time they slept together no wayyyy ever!!

banta wow your a busy boy what site are you on? I might need to join up too

OWW So sorry you are getting crap of your ex. Never been in your situation so no useful advice to offer.

Snape A friend of mine has herpes. She has had no trouble finding a partner. She doesn't see it as much of a problem. More fucking unlucky. Could of happened to any of us. Who has never been careless. Puts hand up.
I know you weren't careless btw.

OWW I suspected as much re harassment order.

I would notify police that he has been attempting to circumnavigate contact, that you are concerned about your safety and safety of your children. I know this might seem a little knee jerk, but is a sensible precaution in my book.

Part of me gets all 'I don't see why you should feel intimidated or alter your every day activities' because FX is a nasty, nasty man... But at the same time I think there's something to be said for your mum being wary of being followed if she comes to yours and you being cautious if you are out and about and returning home.

I don't mean to make light of your situation, but i now have a fabulous mental image of your mum checking her rear view mirror to see FX following her and executing a gene hunt style handbrake turn as FX plummets to his doom off of a poorly signposted dock-side

Dumbledore likes Derren Brown.

Back! :o was surprisingly good...

Just coffee and chatting and the original spark is definitely still there not imagined as I had feared. He's very sweet and gentlemanly. No snogging but I intend to change that asap

I hinted during that date that I'm available this weekend and got no offer... I am pretty sure he is interested though and just being shy so I might have to be a bit more forward to get my point across

Snape to clarify my herpes comment when I said 'slack at taking care' it was about the perception of some people towards it, not reality. I didn't mean to imply you didn't take care in any way smacks self with the fish

Thank you all for your support. Am going to be vigilant over the next few days until he's back at work.

Fucked off as LM has not replied to text I sent him saying I was feeling unsettled to have heard off Titto. Great. I know he's read it but obviously a bit of support/sympathy is too much to ask.

Have had enough of all of them.

Glad it went well, Lubey.

Wallison this bloke was just to get you over the hurdle of having a long drought. Now you've got your confidence back, you can look for someone who knows what he's doing

I've told my mum to be careful and her partner will report him if he gets in contact again. We are already on local police priority response list and I will be straight on the phone if there's even a sniff of anything.

I am not going to think about him now any more. Need to get in the NYE groove so am hoping a rum and ginger will help.

Have done my wallpapering so am feeling a sense of achievement. Definitely time to crack open the alcohol. It's all downhill from here. Probably best to ignore any posts I make after 10 pm or so ...

Western sounds like you're dealing with it really well, that said definitely don't let it spoil your NYE.

Lubey glad date went well :)

When you're being a bit more forward with your date, can you have a word with Spaceman for me please?!

I still don't know what's going on with him. He's still sending me messages via wifi (guessing phone still not sorted) but hasn't mentioned my text - or seeing me again - at all

This is turning out to be more hard work than Cuthbert. I enjoy a challenge but there are limits...

So I know we have this whole community spirit thing going on on this thread and everything, it's all very supportive and I love it. Honestly I do.

But for those of us not going out tonight. Please tell me we don't have to type 'Auld lang syne' simultaneously at midnight. That would be far too depressing.

Velvet - he's either cripplingly shy and unable to get to the point, he's hiding something, or he's playing some kind of game. None of those are good for you.

I would mentally step back, don't bother checking for messages from him, and don't reply for a while, if it all, when you do get one.

Velvet if he's still having issues with his phone are you sure he's seen your text? Tho Bant could be right, he could also either be playing games or hiding something so taking a step back couldn't hurt.

Ok, so no Auld Lang Syne at midnight but can i wish you all a happy new year now? just going round to a friend for some chinese food and hoping to back home and tucked up in bed for 12:30.

Velvet what sort of messages is he sending? Chatty? Flirty? Funny ones about lederhosen?

I'd be tempted to ignore him a bit as it all sounds like very hard work. However, I'm in a right meh type of mood so this may not be sound advice.

juliette I absolutely took NO offence, there is no need to apologise or clarify. :)

Looks like he never got the text....

Did you ask him?

what are you grinning at!! spill!

velvet spoon. You tell us everything right now missy or I shall be most displeased.

[stern face]

I asked. He didn't get it.

I said I thought he wasn't that interested. He said why the F would he still be messaging me otherwise?!

We are now arranging date 2....

Yaaaaaaaas! Goaaaaaaal!

Very, very pleased for you 'velvet'

Thanks Snape, you're not half as pleased as I am for myself But thank you :)

Can see why he was a bit reticent, given that he thought I basically ignored him post date (esp given that he has had some bad experiences previously).

Yessssss! Velvet Why the F indeed!

Western it may well be that it's just NYE bringing him out like a full moon. I hope it is all just hot air.

Banta no, absolutely no. I have more Sandi cinema lined up, house to myself, a cocktail or two, bliss.

Can I just point out that statistically, 32 is the age when people stop being arsed to go out on NYE. That is meant to cheer you up if you are over 32 either because you, you are living on the edge by going to the pub or because you are officially meant to be in. If you are under 32 and out fine, if you are in you are just ahead of your time

Oh your humans and your emotions.

Delighted! Yay! Virtual high five!

See! See! He isn't 'too good looking for you'! this proves your 'friend' is a bitch!
