Tamoo · 17/01/2013 11:43

Do you see him at all at the moment? As friends?

48howdidthathappen · 17/01/2013 11:45

Is it easy to delete profile from POF? Need to get the job done.

OhWesternWind · 17/01/2013 11:48

48 yes, there's a section under membership details or something - if you type it into the help section it will tell you. No more OD for you whoopee!!

How's your mum today?

ike1 · 17/01/2013 11:56

Yeah kinda ...just sent a load of texts out to peeps re drinks ...he would be one of them...

Tamoo · 17/01/2013 12:00

Good that you're already in a position to do that, you'd need to differentiate him from the others in some way though, so he knows you're after more than just drinks.

ike1 · 17/01/2013 12:00

You lucky bugger 48...yeah easy to delete.

ike1 · 17/01/2013 12:02

Yeah ill check out his status first tho...been out of the loop for a bit.

48howdidthathappen · 17/01/2013 12:06

Thanks. Just got to log in. Not looking forward to that!

OWW My mum is doing fab, had an update from her OH this morning. Visiting tonight.

ike1 · 17/01/2013 12:07

Thats great! 48!

48howdidthathappen · 17/01/2013 12:34

Job done. Yay! Grin Grin Grin

JulietteMontague · 17/01/2013 13:03

Tamoo the 'interested in' on fb is standard and is a hangover from when fb was first created for college students. Some people hide it or don't answer, which is why you don't always see it.

Ike have you tried Meetup? I've just joined an outdoor persuits group, I think it's easier to find things in a big city but there are groups everywhere and very friendly apparently.

48 so pleased for your all round good news, your Mum sounds like a star.

I just checked okc under a different account and I think Vague had actually taken himself off it altogether. It was actually 3 weeks since we first met, I'm glad I stuck with it as I wanted to see if I he would grow on me but he was a classic case of all over me when he shouldn't have been and then not there when he should have. No respect for my feelings at all.

48howdidthathappen · 17/01/2013 13:03

Going to keep my OKC profile as hardly get any messages as no pic. If things don't work out with Mr R&R or Mr OZ I may get back on the OD horse.

I am going to write to Mr OZ tomorrow. Feel bad not doing it before, just too much going on.

I do find it strange when Mr R&R refers to me as his girlfriend. Takes me a moment to realise he means me. It has been a long time.

48howdidthathappen · 17/01/2013 13:08

Juliette My sister had one delete after arranging first date. Scary!

Scattylatte · 17/01/2013 13:09

Afternoon all

watch you will look lovely. you have amazing hair and if you look cool with yourself it will add to your attractiveness.

You are so well rid juliette Blocking is a bit OTT by him but it smacks of self indulgence when there is no need to block.

Enjoying reading about meditation, rejuvination and 48's mums recovery and velvets sudden reappearence at the mention of shoes.

So met up with the fireman last night. i had told him about my reconstruction in a brief conversation before as i knew there may be some skin to skin action. Anyway he told me that he wasnt sure what to expect and was quite suprised when he found out that actually i look pretty much like everyone else.
Its hard to judge what he thinks about me. i suspect he is a bit of a shagger, well he told me he was! Im just going with the flow with him and not fretting. ill be pissed off if he doesnt contact me though ie he has shagged and run.

48howdidthathappen · 17/01/2013 13:21

Scatty He told you he was a 'shagger' What puts it about?

I hope he doesn't do a runner. I can't stand bad manners.

Still you are back on the horse Grin

watchoutforthatsnail · 17/01/2013 13:22

scatty - hope you hear from him...

oww - you sound really chilled out, I think sometimes our heads get stuck into thinking one way, but it really sounds like you have got on top of it.

ike - jan blues. Plan something, anything, a few things, just so you have some stuff to look forward to ( i always find it helps alot) Could you do any kind of volunteering in the meantime, so you are still getting a break, but are getting out and about and have some kind of structure? ( would that help at all)

Have cancelled fridays date, the snow being a good excuse, so, i can pick it up again if i want, and still texting back and forth with chilli boy, who seems totally normal and nice.
And you know what, hes just going to take me as he finds me, in not thin, im not a whale, im just adverage and if thats not ok for him, then it wouldnt work out anyway.

Scattylatte · 17/01/2013 13:27

I cant remember how the subject came up as id had drink but i think he said something along the lines of when he goew out with his friends he will have a ONS when he fancies it. However in the next breath he said he didnt find them fulfilling.
Ill wait and see

OhWesternWind · 17/01/2013 13:33

Ha Watch it's the prospect of an afternoon bunking off work for a shag that's perked me up no end. Feeling loads better generally, back on track and life is good. I am not going to let twatty ex win by carrying on with old, old shit and mucking up something good.

Chilli Boy sounds great!

Scatty that sounds a bit eww, not sure I would be comfortable with someone like that. What did you say to him? Great that you got over the hurdle with the reconstruction, first time is always the hardest.

48howdidthathappen · 17/01/2013 13:38

Watch Great attitude Smile

JulietteMontague · 17/01/2013 13:48

Yay Scatty! Good for you. So he fell into the 'show me' category Grin

watchoutforthatsnail · 17/01/2013 13:51

well, hes off tomorrow and so am i.
And hes just said, if im at a loose end, im welcome to pop round for a cuppa or we could go get a coffee.

What do we reckon? wait till sun evening? or just pop round to his tomorrow for tea and a chat?
( or costas or something??)

unless its awful weather and the school is closed, in which case i wont be able to go at all.

Scattylatte · 17/01/2013 13:54

oww I didn't really say much to be honest. He didn't expand and neither did I ask so I'm not sure about the extent of it.
Yes it was good to get back on the horse so to speak. He is very affectionate to me and this morning he asked whether we would be seeing each other again. I said yes. Also, he told me his work friends have been asking him about our dates and his son overheard him talking about me to someone, told his ex and his ex has been giving him a hard time since (and not in a good way).
It's strange as in many ways he seems a bit unsure of himself and tbh when he was talking about 'women' it wasn't in a derogatory way, it was 'this is what I do, we both know the score' type of way.

Scattylatte · 17/01/2013 13:55

Get it over with tomorrow Watch then Sunday can be more relaxing.

48howdidthathappen · 17/01/2013 13:56

When I went on POF I didn't see MR FU. Does that mean he could of blocked me?

I had to have a nosy on a local site. He is still active on there, updated age and pic. Have to say he looks highly fuckable in new pic Blush I am not a member so he wont know I have looked.
