Hey, it's the Dating thread... number 37

[lubeybooby]

Of we got - all dating chit chat here!

Western M&S. He is visiting you, not the food. Either that or some hearty veg soup, crusty warm bread and cheese/pate?

Evening all, well mr complicated lived up to his name. I sent him a text today firming up details for date tomorrow and he said that I was right that he isn't in best place for dating. He apologised but I still feel a bit rubbish. He seemed lovely but his life was very complicated so I know it wouldn't have been easy.

Onwards and upwards eh!!! Least I managed in my mission to get a date before the end of Jan!

Is it a sex date? is food even needed? can you not just spend all of your time doing the do, and send him on his way with a smile and a nice packed lunch?

oh, well, theres a new one. ive just been emailed by a ' traveller' his profile is full of pics of the rides he works on.

no comment.

Watch that's nearly as bad as the guy who messaged me once who had 20 horses. Not racehorses or anything. Just horses in a field by a traveller site in Surrey.

I didn't reply.

I don't do food as a rule. A man could starve in my house [Grin]

Velvet You would be the surprised the amount of money to made in quality coloured cobs.

im not replying either!

20 horses, was he is business with asda?

Tapas is a great idea OWW I do that sometimes. So easy and yum and quick.

Nomore aww well at least you tried and yay for the goal result :o

Yoga, oh dearie dearie me. Watch is right. What has keeping him on fb acheived? A route to open the wounds again, or at least make them ache. Do yourself a massive favour and don't call. Then delete him off fb! You don't have to ring just because he suggested it. Him suggesting you call doesn't suddenly make him not an arsehole or good for you in any way (probably more of one tbh)

48, you may be right! But judging by the photo he sent me, these were destined only for the glue factory. Or possibly the Tesco freezer aisle.

Western - I second tapas style stuff from M&S or nice veggie soup & bread.

Juliette - brief backstory, met him on GS last June, hit it off big time, loads of sparks, lots of texting & emails (some sexting but talked about everything), saw each other for a while over the summer. He was lovely, has 2 DCs similar age to mine & I fell pretty hard for him. He ended it - said he was 'falling for me' but couldn't see it working long term. I was pretty crushed at the time but am (mostly) over it. He did mess me about a little bit just after we split, sending me the occassional drunken text looking for a shag but never followed up when he was sober. He gave me some great advice after we split when I was having massive problems with XH but contact since then has been limited to the occassional FB "like".

I have no idea what it will feel like to speak to him now. It might just be nice. Or it might cause me grief. I think I know better than to expect anything at all. But... argh. Watch is probably right, I don't know.

or mixed bean tacos ...with grated cheese lettice (homemade chilli) sour cream chilli sauce add what you want.

frittata - done ahead of time..with salad

Thank you grinchie, will definitely take that on board :)

I never ever offer food, sex after eating just gives me indigestion..they're lucky to get offered a drink of water :o

I mean, feed them as well as shag them
what am I some sort of fairy godmother!

No point asking me, I'm a crap cook.
I prefer to stick to what I'm good at .
There was a thread a while back, I think it was bant was asking whether you would expect someone to cook you breakfast in the morning if you stayed at their house. I didn't say it at the time but I expect them to cook me breakfast at MY house

I prefer it if they leave before I wake up...I'm not a morning person:o

Sex before eating, work up an appetite ...

I am so jealous of all you lot who have access to M&S without driving three towns away. Used to have one as my nearest shop. I miss it. Some great ideas, thanks! Need to have tacos very soon - id forgotten about them for some reason!

nomore I am sorry but at least you know it was too complicated to start with rather than finding out in 6 months time when you had invested more?
Where there is one date there are more dates.

mercury I'm not a morning person either but it's amazing what a bacon sandwich can do for a girl

I hardly ever eat first thing in the morning. I am a tea and fag person Hopefully followed by round two.

I do get very hungry a couple of hours later though and stuff whatever just requires a bit of packet opening.

Oh well. The exercise part is covered

Nomore I'm sorry it didn't work out. I understand the disappointment after having fab date with Mr Slow last week, all seemed too good to be true and it was. I messaged him today wishing him luck in finding whatever it is he was looking for (whilst knowing he has a long term partner) and his reply was 'Hey. Membership ending soon so not really looking' WTF?! Head fuck. So I sympathise. I truly think I'm going to knock OD on the head.

I wouldn't do food for NSA dates either, no need for any effort whatsoever then.

It's a nice thing to share though if you want just a tiny bit more than NSA

Yoga absolutely do not phone him. If you can do it, you have to delete or at least hide his posts and promise yourself you will not look. What does keeping him on fb achieve? He was not your friend, he didn't treat you well and he doesn't enhance your life whatsoever.

I can't decide if I need a little slap, or else am actually being sensible for once, I'm not sure which.

I think I mentioned my little flirtation yesterday. He is a bit (cough) younger than me 24 , seriously attractive, very charming, and wants to come round and see shag me on Friday.

And I have said no.

Because lovely as he is, I know it's not what I want. I want a relationship (I should add not with him of course, he's far too young).

I suspect he is surprised. I don't think he gets turned down much.
