I got more needy when mine left home Grin. It's strange when I am with child again, hols etc, I'm happy with just us. The DC's are so important.

Scrazy · 09/01/2013 22:20

I really get you. With me and my last one it ended when that wasn't enough anymore for me, was for him, and he did treat me beautifully, but it got upsetting!!

lubeybooby · 09/01/2013 22:22

I can see me wanting something more when she's left home Scrazy! Til then I'm in this for a good time

lubeybooby · 09/01/2013 22:23

Awww! I could see that potentially happening to me too... if I'm 'sort of seeing' someone when the time comes. I'll take the risk though because I absolutely can't do without sex but really don't want to put it about too much

SkaffenAmtiskaw · 09/01/2013 22:24

lubey that's exactly the same kind of thing that I'm looking for. I haven't yet had any discussion about expectations with Mr HotYoga, but I know he doesn't want anything heavy either, so I am hopeful we can come to an arrangement... Will report after date! :)

Scrazy · 09/01/2013 22:26

For the moment just ENJOY!

Lubey Round 2 Grin

Scooby I dropped Mr R&R on Monday after bad news, just didn't feel I had the headspace for him. He rang me and said all the right things, so we are back on for now.

Life does sometimes get in the way if you know what I mean.

lubeybooby · 09/01/2013 22:34

Oh I am. Very much :o

And well.. I've been around the block enough to know that men come and go and that I can deal with and move on from the end of things. Was difficult waving BC off but I knew it wasn't to be that I go with him or anything like that.

I remember saying I was dusting myself off and looking forward to the men 2013 would bring - looking good so far! :o

Scrazy · 09/01/2013 22:40

Lubey, remember too you are old enough to know better but young enough to still do it anyway. Cannot believe how much youth you still have on your side and DD almost off to live her own life. You have it all, honestly Smile

Saying that aging hasn't caught up with me just yet!

lubeybooby · 09/01/2013 22:48

'old enough to know better but young enough to still do it anyway' hahaa I love that

oh - stick your skype back on a sec if you're still about... ?

Scrazy · 09/01/2013 22:49

ok

Nomorepain · 10/01/2013 07:36

Morning,

Anyone know anything about evow? It's from the same people as pof!

lubeybooby · 10/01/2013 07:57

Morning all

Nomore, seen it advertised but never used it.

Scrazy · 10/01/2013 09:24

Morning, decided to delete my POF profile tonight when I'm not working Blush. Not in the mood atm and the 2 that I'm 'talking' to aren't very responsive. Should I be cheeky and tell them I'm off and pass on my email address in case they get desperate? Grin

I might do a better profile with photo's in a while.

Snapespeare · 10/01/2013 09:33

No word at all from Dumbledore, so think the feeling was mutual, but it's a bit rude to not do a 'you're lovely, but....' message.

who cares, i've just heard i've won another crate of wine! Grin

scrazy I'd only message them your email if you thought there might be a possibility - the point that they're non-responsive indicates they're not worth the effort.

Scrazy · 10/01/2013 09:38

Snape, Dumbledore who? Grin

When I say non responsive, I mean luke warm rather than stone cold. One I've met before so he has contact details so I won't bother messaging him but the other seems so right for me damn it! He must must be so inundated with messages he cannot see it keep up. Think I will try a cheeky bye bye email.

48howdidthathappen · 10/01/2013 10:10

A crate of wine V small hands. No contest Smile

Bant · 10/01/2013 11:36

Snape - it seems like a shame to just let dumbledore disappear into the ether after all you had in common. I know you probably have enough mates, but it's always useful having one more - even if it's because he may have single friends he can introduce you to (if not straightaway)

I'd get in touch, say it was great meeting him, no spark which was a shame and you're still up for geocaching or whatever in the future as he's such a lovely guy. If you feel like that, that is. As I said, he may have big handed friends.

JulietteMontague · 10/01/2013 11:57

Scazy I wouldn't pass on your email, they should at least make an effort on the site first. Did you realise you can hide your POF profile rather than delete it completely?

Snape it's a shame about the tiny hands. It seems to be a 'thing' for lots of us. I had no idea that bothered me. I hadn't realised until I saw Mr Vague's hands, I think that is what made me think 'tiny', it wasn't his height. The Major was maybe shorter but it would never occur to me to have described him as tiny. As Bant says, would it be possible to be friends as you get on so well together.

ike1 · 10/01/2013 12:14

You do know that the 3Bs and voice are checking their hands right now dont you, Jules...

ike1 · 10/01/2013 12:15

oddly my ex BF who was 6'3 built like a bouncer with girthful cock had the most girly hands ....strange...

mercury7 · 10/01/2013 12:18

hand size depends to an extent on what you do with your hands, they thicken and become meatier with manual work...same with body size, I'm not keen when I look at a bloke and feel as if I could out bench press him!

Snapespeare · 10/01/2013 12:18

it is a shame, but to be honest, i don't want to chase it. I tend to put a lot of effort into maintaining friendships and i'm a bit exhausted by it. If dumbldore suggested a drink/cinema/gallery i'd possibly go along after making it clear 'no spark' but i'm a bit fed up with people at the moment, so might have a period of reflection. I suspect it's one of these do things the same way = get same results things...

ike1 · 10/01/2013 12:22

Aw Snape it is a real fuckin' quandry for sure...

48howdidthathappen · 10/01/2013 12:28

Girthful cock and girlie hands. Sorry Ike I would of run for the hills Blush
