Yeah and I've done that too, garlic. Sometimes it kind of takes the romance out of it though. Usually it's a non verbal question, body language etc. sometimes it's misread. And I've found that a display of confidence is usually better than a display of nervousness.

garlic I like to be asked. I asked Mr R&R. Thought lets get this show on the road Smile

Garlic my lips are kissable but not so that men just can't help themselves Grin. Apart from that they haven't suddenly got kissable, I've not had this before.

Crap, I was just going to write I hadn't even touched his arm or anything and I've just remembered after the kissing thing he asked me to give him a hug, twice I think. It was a hug sitting in different chairs, no groping. I was drunk and remember thinking it was better than him trying to pounce again as my face was to the side. Crap.

I could have said no again and I didn't. I shouldn't be in that position in the first place though, it's not good is it.

juilette How many dates have you had? Hope you don't mind me asking.
Just interested to know how many didn't try to snog you. If any.

JulietteMontague · 27/12/2012 19:46

48 I've been at this for about 2 years on and off, with 6 months out when I met someone. Made a few rooky mistakes to begin with then found my feet. I guess two or three dates a month in batches, so approx 35 dates.

Of those, I would have wanted to see 4 again, 2 weren't interested. Only 4/5 in total have wanted to see me again. I went out with 2 of those, the six month one and a brief thing for a few weeks with another. With both we snogged on the second date. So, 35 ish dates, 1 repeat pouncer who I dodged, 1 assault (to teach me a lesson about saying no) and this one.

48howdidthathappen · 27/12/2012 19:59

35 julilette you must have nerves of still.

Could the rogue 3 in some way caused you to lower your guard prior to meeting. Then they pounced.

48howdidthathappen · 27/12/2012 20:00

Steal even. Drink!

48howdidthathappen · 27/12/2012 20:02

Hello sorry to butt in again but how do I do a search on a photo? A man is messaging me on pof telling me he is a fireman and I think his profile is dodgy!! Could someone have a look for me

smoothieooo · 27/12/2012 20:18

That's so funny 48 - I've had so much wine that I'm back to lurking rather than posting as I'm pretty sure I would make no sense! Pretty bad really before 8.30 on what is, essentially, a school night! Grin

Yogagirl17 · 27/12/2012 20:23

Nomore - well spotted!!! Your fireman appears to be an american model called Chat White HERE

Nomorepain · 27/12/2012 20:28

Thanks! I just asked why he's moved from London to Hinckley and he said it was a promotion Nd he starts full time at end of jan!

This is funny, so then what should I ask Chad next?? I want to make him squirm!!!

JulietteMontague · 27/12/2012 20:30

48 None. Actually, I hadn't spoken to any of these ones on the phone before meeting, but that's not so unusual. With the first, I should have seen the over familiar signs in messages,nothing rude just no idea of social boundaries.

With the second no sign at all in messaging but I knew as soon as he started talking at me about himself, even when it was about me it was about him eg. 'Wow, you may even be smarter than me, very few people are', 'you are very perceptive, you've seen right through me, I should be married again to someone like you.... would you marry me?' er no.

Third one, no sign at all he was very nice, no sign of entitlement at all until the 'cheeky' kiss followed by the compensation apparently due.

Nomorepain · 27/12/2012 20:31

I asked what his name was and he said Mark! Might ask if he uses fake tan or sunbeds next...

JulietteMontague · 27/12/2012 20:34

Nomore Ask him where the office photo was taken, if it was at work - its full of US flags and other signs in the background!

mercury7 · 27/12/2012 20:35

BantaBaby · 27/12/2012 21:01

Ask him how boston was - you always wanted to go there - did he go to see the football team play at fenway park?

BantaBaby · 27/12/2012 21:03
