i never get nervous and ususally dont give a shit.

you think he will appreciate a leopard print slanket then?

Seriously, i dont know what to wear. And ive not got money for anything new. and a bit too fat for most of my clothes.
:(

A 'threesum' with an 'average looking couple' - the stuff dreams are made of.

Lubey, Ike is right, your hip is painful due to recent range of movements you've been putting it through - you rascal.

Watch, I just knew you'd disagree with my description of La Senza ! I think the wishing you were two stone lighter thing must be something almost everyone thinks when you're planning on meeting someone you really fancy, unless one is Elle MacPherson, it's just normal innit ?

Haha lubey I am looking forward to the hit by a steam roller feeling tonight.

Watch I think we all get the jitters if we think we will like them, much better than the can't be arsed feeling.

lubeybooby · 16/01/2013 17:41

Watch I felt the same recently before dates, I just went with whatever was reasonably comfy and didn't look too old/bobbled (even leggings at one point, the horror!) but obviously all was fine.

Then when out for dinner i chose THE dress but dressed it down a bit with a long cardi and boots... so if you have anything that you are ruling out as too sexy/dressy/formal maybe you could do something similar?

watchoutforthatsnail · 16/01/2013 17:48

mrs arse, i do agree, i just cant afford what katie did and all that other lovely stuff.

Ive got nice clothes, i just dont fit in them!!
Got lots of stuff thats too dressy... ill have to have a look and a try on. I know i look ok, im just bigger than i want to be at the momment and probably because i like him, im bothered.

I have a date with a local, nice, funny, articulate, groomed man lunchtime on Friday. He has the same name as Mr Vague who I haven't replied to any texts since Monday.

Despite my separating them in neon on my contacts list, with my word recognition skills the potential for mixing them up is enormous.

MsArsebiscuit · 16/01/2013 18:01

Watch, is there anything you have that makes you feel great ? Something you always get complimented on.

lubeybooby · 16/01/2013 18:02

Juliette, oooh dodgy.

I would demote the first one from having a name and re-name him VagueArse or something like that

MsArsebiscuit · 16/01/2013 18:04

Juliette, he sounds like a good prospect, could you give Mr Vague a nickname on your phone - Trilby ? Brakes ? The Pouncester ?

48howdidthathappen · 16/01/2013 18:05

Oh God Juliette that would be too risky for me. Just know I would cock it up.

MsArsebiscuit · 16/01/2013 18:05

Hi fives Lubey

watchoutforthatsnail · 16/01/2013 18:08

Lol juliette :)

Mrs a, i dont know. My coat? Bags? Hair, face, jewlery. Summer stuff. Cant think of anything winter......

ike1 · 16/01/2013 18:09

Got anything black watch?? Black with a v neck and wear high heeled boots. Plus silver jewellry.

JulietteMontague · 16/01/2013 18:11

Lubey good idea. Vague has just text to say he hopes I wasn't in South London today (as if). Of course a helicopter crash is on his mind because that is his route to work, but no way was I going to ask.

I am still pissed off with him, it goes against the grain for me not to say something. Would it be too childish to say 'No. It was Monday that I had my frightening experience. Why, did this affect you today?.

ike1 · 16/01/2013 18:12

yes, yes Jules...the ideal opportunity has arisen!

watchoutforthatsnail · 16/01/2013 18:14

everything in my winter wardrobe is black!!!
or a bit of red
or a bit of leopard print.

ive got more costume jewlery than anyone could know what to do with. and 100'a pairs of shoes/ boots.

i just dont know what to wear. probably because i am fatter than i want to be.

watchoutforthatsnail · 16/01/2013 18:15

juliette, yes, say somethign like that.
and the go back to ignoring him :)

ike1 · 16/01/2013 18:17

Black=flattering, Vneck=good if u have large titties like me, costume jewellry =good with black and deflects from bits u want to deflect from
What is not to like????

JulietteMontague · 16/01/2013 18:24

oh fucksy. I was drafting the text, got half way through editing and sent by mistake. So now I sound like a mad woman, and had to send another saying Monday was the day to ask if I was ok. This is what happens when you piss a patient woman off. So I have spelt it out.

He has actually asked what happened on Monday. Spelt that out too.

tbc

watchoutforthatsnail · 16/01/2013 18:26

ike, thats what i usually go for.

i think ive been watching too much gok.
Has anyone seen his new tv thing ( i dont usually watch much tv, but its on dating) anyway, last week, girl turned up on a date in a t shirt, scarf, jeans. he told her it was crap and she was underdressed... and then gok'ed her up.
( to ridiclous levels, that people dont usually walk around like'
anyway, apparently dressing like she was, wasnt right for dating.

Confused

we are going to the cinema to eat sweets and then, if neither of us wants to escape, for a drink. Its jeans and boots. But im feeling fat and unglam.

watchoutforthatsnail · 16/01/2013 18:27

juliette, so, he didnt read or pay any attention to your texts monday???

just dump him. please :)

ike1 · 16/01/2013 18:29

Well jeans, long black top, high heeled boots it is then...

watchoutforthatsnail · 16/01/2013 18:30

Mind you,hes covered in tatoos, and has a beard. he would probably run a mile if i turned up and was all gok'ed. yes?

ike1 · 16/01/2013 18:30

Wear an extra special piece of jewellry...even a statement ring..

ike1 · 16/01/2013 18:30

Oh fuck that ...biker boots
