[lulubellaboozle]

Post away daters x

Thanks Lubes. x It is not uncommon I am afraid oh lord this 'congress' thing can get so complicated...

Oh no Juliette ....that is not a great sign...

Juliette - trust the spidey senses. I wouldn't like that either and yes it's very 'all about him'

Haha, got 2 dates for Saturday lined up from POF, have babysitter arranged but as this is only Monday could fall through by then, but on other hand, could squeeze a 3 rd in in the morning!

No offer to warm you up Juliette I would of expected a little flirting at the least.

Bet you end up only going on one scooby - I have done that before. Lined up a couple in a day or a few in a week, it's all of a sudden very telling who you like more and can be bothered for...

Juliette, not great sign, sorry

Scooby A bit like buses

Lubey, thanks.

Juliette, I'd definitely have expected him to refer to your text. Had he definitely received it?

Juliette I'd have replied something like 'oh no poor you! Hope you can get some hot chocolate soon. What's the verdict on the car?' and then maybe launched into the drivel about myself/my day

Another thing

I've noticed he is very much like a child who has and idea and wants to do it now never mind if I'm busy or not. On Friday night when we were out he asked what I was doing at the weekend, then lets meet Saturday.

I said Sunday would be better for me as I had a lot of things I had to deal with. (domestic and DC things). Sunday is not convenient for him, friends coming. So then it was Monday because he has work commitments from then until Thursday.

Now Saturday lunchtime he asks if I want to meet up that afternoon, no, I'm busy, then another text later asking if I'd like dinner at his no Borgen is on I'm busy. Sunday, his friends are ill so he asks me if I'd like the lunch. No. Then a later text about Sunday evening... What pissed me off was the lack of consideration for me having things to deal with too. Plus, bit of a cheek asking me for lunch as a replacement (which I do think he realised).

Didn't notice about brakes failing. Not good.

Yes, that is what I think. Lubeys would be the closest to what I'd expect. Anyone got a suggestion for an answer to his last text? I am pissed off.

Lubey I had a look at your profile, I now understand your nickname, go you .

I finished with someone else over something similar once. I text to say I was at A&E with DC (and he knew about the accident as it happened when we were together). Nothing. So next text wasn't elegant and was the end.

I would like elegant rather than ranty this time.

No suggestions Juliette but god your last post about him... that would drive me mad.

re: profile :o

The nice man from the Garage has fixed car and warmed me up. Sorted

Not very elegant I admit.

Actually the man from the garage is hot. I've known him 20+ years and when I first met him then he was 6'4 of blond, naturally tanned god but with a horrible gf. They split up and I wasn't quick enough because he then he met his wife, is now happily married, a little chunky around the middle and still gorgeous. The words 'give us a kiss then girl' still make me weak at the knees which hardly ever happens with me.

Mr Vague has no consideration and I don't really want to kiss him either whereas I'd have garage man over the bonnet of anything

Love God just called, car is very poorly and its going to be expensive

Libby yes definitely received.

Hey all, haven't been on for a good couple of weeks but marking a belated spot.

I was seeing the lad from college, unfortunately that didnt work out as we wanted different things and we split New Year's Eve. Was a horrible first week to the new year but I am out the other side now.

I am actually not dating at all just now, decided I needed a good break from men and am thoroughly enjoying singledom at the moment.

I was asked to dinner by a lovely man that I have known a while and I was actually tempted but stuck to my guns over non dating.

Also chatting away to a marine of all things that I met on a night out but not interested in starting anything.

When I do feel up to dating again, id like to rejoin the thread properly but for now I will just lurk away and try catch up with where everyone is at :)

Juliette - can't believe he didn't reference your text in his reply. Only excuse for that would be not getting it. Only reason for not referencing it is that he's a self-absorbed arse. Sorry.

Juliette The brake failing is stressful and serious. I remember my car was in for a service, they jacked it onto the ramp and they were covered in brake fluid as at that moment the hose perished. The mechanic told me if I had kept driving I would have had a foot to the floor incident in less than 3 miles. I had just come off the motorway - it makes me shudder to this day. They will check the hoses - a main cause of failure.

It sounds like Mr Vague is pouncing in a different way now. In my experience this behaviour is draining. I have a platonic friend, whom I considered as a FWB but he never plans to see. Its all "are you free tonight?"....no! all the time. In the end I just dont bother.

fate . hello :)
nice to see you. Are you ok over the break up? i know you said it wasnt long term anywya, but sometimes these things still get you, you know.

juliette - gah. dump. hes not what you want, you werent happy with the pounching, and then the clothes, and now this. there is only so much you can compromise on.

Oh sorry about expensive car repairs Juliette

How about I bumped into an old flame in the Garage, he offered me a lift home, has just rang to see if I am free Sunday. I am. Que sera sera

watch your date could very easily be a 2 way spark you know!

Juliette as watch says...yeah dump.
