[lulubellaboozle]

Post away daters x

watch I would do it, why not? Coffee shop though, not his place as that is too 'on a plate order in' when he has suggested it and neutral ground puts you both on an even footing. You will have the thrill of it all, and not have time for nerves to really kick in

scatty - the risk is, if it goes horribly, sunday wont happen at all , which i supose saves on babysitters....

tomorrow it is then, snow permitting.
;)
how exciting

Scatty it is how he treats you that matters. So he likes a shag sometimes, remind me again who, ahem, decided he was going to get lucky in a hotel for the night?

Agree Watch go for it. On neutral ground

yeah, will do. cant go in a strangers house, im not that silly.

I honestly wouldn't plan anything for tomorrow good luck though watch hope your area escapes the snow-athon and your date can go ahead

I am all sorted for hibernation here :o

Scatty, firemen can have a bit of a reputation as 'shaggers' due to the sweetie shop effect, obviously that may be me doing him a disservice and he might not be at all like that.

Ike, I'm sorry you're so fed up. If you lived a bit closer, I'd take you out on the razz, we could hunt eligible men down like a pair of middle-aged love panthers.

Juliette, only one thing to say about Mr Vague - worra wankaaaaaa.

Smoothie, sorry you're fed up too, January's hard enough without exes causing problems.

48 - as ever.

OWW, what could be nicer than an afternoon 'working from home' with LM

Watch, glad things are going well with Chilli and that you've got your wobble under control, I'm sure you'll look gorgeous on your date.

The Arsebiscuit OD Bulletin -
Lizard Man cancels weekend date due to 'having to work' - whateva.
Sexually Adventurous wants to Skype - ha ha ha ha, I don't think so, knobnose.
Talent Show emails and quotes my favourite line of poetry- he's supposed to be seeing some woman, what's he up to ?
And contacted yesterday by a software designer who is charming and funny and normal and reads a lot - oh deary dear.

arseB that's quite a collection there. I want to use the word knobnose as soon as I can. It's perfect!
Yes my opinion of firemen is sadly stereotypical too although I'd hope the sweet shop complex may have diluted a bit at the age of 46.
However he has text saying he loved his time with me and can't wait for next time. This, I think will morph into a FWB thing. I like him in like a friend you fancy way. He admits to being dreadful with money, has none, and he also said he has a few skeletons in his cupboard. For now, the light hearted stuff is good for me and getting back in the saddle was great. Plus he is great company, talks about his family and isn't negative.

Hi All, Hope everyone is reasonably ok...
Juliette, you did the right thing
48 Glad your mum is doing well. Re the blocking on POF. I had someone block me just after I had sent a very normal message saying hi, etc...I only found out he had blocked me, cos he had sent me a message, and you must not be able to access them if they block you. I tried to message him back, to say I couldn't retrieve the message, and I got told he had blocked me! Complete sledgehammer job. If you type their user name into the search part, it will still show they have a profile, if they have. So if you are interested enough, you can try and message him...
Can I run this by people for size? Someone on OKcupid. Messaged me including the words 'lovely lady' in message, which grated a bit, but he is late 50's (yes, these are the age group that message me) and he maybe didn't realise its a bit patronising. So, giving the benefit...messaged him back saying, if I tell you my name, you can call me that instead. The message I got back ignores my name completely, and says 'I will still call you lovely lady'. Bad huh? Is this completely ignoring a request in a control-freaky way, or have I not made this clear?

hi parsley :) id just ignore him tbh.

we havent planned tomorrows date, its weather dependent. so, unlikely really. Anwyay, we have been swapping pics, and i sent afull body shot and he said i looked fab, but he couldnt see my face. so i sent my face and he was like' my god your pretty, its not too much if i tell you i really fancy you, is it'
:)
this was after i got his pics first, hes super good looking.
Im really excited about meeting him

Scatty, yes, I like to think of it as a diversionary portfolio of men that I'll probably never meet. Takes my mind off squabbling teenagers, work shite and cake so probably worth it in the short term.
Likewise if he meets your short term needs then maybe it's worth keeping him on for a little while, that way you can appreciate his good points without putting up with his baggage.

Sounds promising Watch !

Sounds like lots of good things happening for everyone :)

No news for me other than that I wore a (slightly too short) skater dress to work today and that coupled with my usual heels and the fact the weather has made my hair bigger and wilder than normal, caused 3 people to ask if I was on a date after work. How I laughed .

Arse Early days for Mr Software. Just when you think you have a normal one they go weird on you. Fingers crossed for normal.

Oh no parsely I never want to see Mr FU again. Just curious as to why he would block me. I suppose thare is no nice way to wrap up. Do one!
Bin Mr lovely lady. He calls them all that. Knob.

Velvet I would of been tempted to say 'just returning from one'

48, it'd be good if he did turn out to be normal and it did go somewhere, if only for all the ' Mr Firmware, Mr Hardware' gags.

Hmm. Quite like the idea of a Mr Hard Drive

48 unfortunately the joke's rather on me. My perpetual singleton status is a source of humour. They're all aware that men are never interested in me, so me being on a date is highly unlikely and therefore funny...

Well...had a lovely night with Mr Cheeky last night .. Lots of great sex and a good laugh and we can talk about anything .. In fact I think it is the most intimate relationship I've ever had and its only been 2 months .. Anyhow he's now used the word soulmate and basically said that he's falling for me and how he wants me to be in every aspect of his life (including with our kids) .. It's all a bit soon for me .. I've told him to steady on!!! .. My stbxh declared I was the love of his life within a fortnight .. Didn't know about red flags then xx

Hia everyone ...so much digest with you guys...love you all... will deal with the immediate. Velv....tell em naaaaathing be a gorgeous inigma, Arse you like normal (its your 'sickness' remember? ..Cool) Watch either tomoz or Sunday could be well good!

Me well apparently cant be friends with Torso cos he has 'feelings' for me...sigh.. Back to borrrring Sunday nights on my own in the cinema...

But HEY! Maybe gonna be a sledge day tommoz!!!

Oh and Kirsty you have sooooo got your head switched on!

.....pissed again...hey ho!

Who is feelings shyte this morning IKE?

Velvet Fuck em

Kirsty Steady on indeed!

Had some snow only a little so far.

It snowed and I'm happy

Ironman has gone to Afghanistan, I have surprised myself with quite how sad I am about it

Hugs Grinchie Is he in the forces.

When Mr OZ left I was completely cool with it. Until a few days later.

Hia all!!! I am ok actually...only a few beers (bit of a lightweight) snowed in up a mountain tho!!!
