Hi seaside I think I would ignore because I don't think any good can come of speaking to him.

mercury7 · 24/01/2013 18:15

what about revenge??
is revenge not good??
I'd lead him on and then drop him!

VoiceofUnreason · 24/01/2013 18:23

seaside - personally i'd go for ignore

48howdidthathappen · 24/01/2013 18:29

Seaside Indifference is best in my opinion. You can't be arsed to acknowledge his existence.

mercury7 · 24/01/2013 18:53

what about if you're bored and want a bit of entertainment..is it then ok to get revenge?? :o

lubeybooby · 24/01/2013 18:56

I'd go for ignoring too. Revenge grants him too much room in your head.

Happy birthday, Snape, hope you're having some Wine, wishing you a year that is as wonderful as you deserve.

(Shite day at work - need to lie down in a darkened room)

Nomorepain · 24/01/2013 19:18

Hope everyone is okay!!

Happy birthday snape!! Hope it is turning into a lovely birthday!

I am sooooo stupid. Should be getting ready to go on my date now with Mr Complicated but he is just tooooo complicated. Feel really disappointed and flat. First person in ages that I fancied and I would have really liked to get to know him a bit better. Was going to text him earlier to say I'm here if he needs a chat but then I got a grip and realised that I am not anyone's doormat!! Feels unfair though!!!

Yogagirl17 · 24/01/2013 20:12

Lubey - am sure you're right, it's nothing. I've left to him to call me if he wants. I'm feeling quite cool about it all mostly.

Bant - you are being passive aggressive, and a bit mean, frankly.

yoga, well done on not calling , its really hard...

and juliette, sorry you feel terrible. it will pass, promise.

Snapespeare · 24/01/2013 20:22

juliette. I hope you're feeling happier. I think the relief followed by mourning the good bits is perfectly normal. You will be fine :-). Allow yourself your time. All manner of things will be well. :-)

I typed out a huge post about watch vs bant, but then decided it's MY BIRTHDAY & I can't be arsed. In summary - watch you originally posted (summarised) 'fleece? Eww Never!' Bant called you on it. As he should. Watch then went on to explain herself and stress that she didn't want to fight about a misunderstanding. At which point it really should have been left

I don't want to dredge it all up, particularly as bant is in transit. I hope we've moved on... But I'm aware that sometimes I come to these things late. We are all in the same boat you know. It's not easy. And it's made more difficult when what should be a source of support has arguments. Sad

And now I'm off for MY BIRTHDAY to watch les mis 25 and drink my last bottle of free wine.

ike1 · 24/01/2013 20:23

Personally I think for whatever reason Bant and Watch rub each other up the wrong way. I dont know why. And each gives as good as they get.

ike1 · 24/01/2013 20:24

Go for it Snape!!

watchoutforthatsnail · 24/01/2013 20:32

the only difference being is i dont go out of my way to be mean.
( which he admitted to)

I dont go out of my way to wind someone up
( which he admitted to)

And snape, did you not say you couldnt date that last guy because he wore a full lenght leather trench coat??? i belive you did. Did anyone call you on it, did they fuck.

Puts you in the same boat as me, my lovely :)

Juliette mocked her dates attire, did anyone tell her she was out of order, no, they did not.

Puts juliette in the same boat as me too.

Im sure there have been a ton of others, these are just recent.
I do not need to be called up for saying i did not like his damn fleece body warmer.

We do really need to get a grip here i think,

lubeybooby · 24/01/2013 20:36

I consider myself an extremely fair person. I've stuck up for Bant in the past over something... I forget what. Anyway about today I disagree. Bant jumped down watch's throat without engaging his brain. Watch, in the original post that Bant jumped on, said the date was dire. In that very post. It's clearer than a clear thing on a clear day at the clear olympics that just won gold for being clear, that there was more to it than just a sodding fleece!

then Bant dragged out the argument

Then Bant admitted he basically has her down as a target.

Can't get any more blatant and childish than that folks.

I won't say anything further though because as Snape pointed out this is a support thread and it isn't nice when it's blowing up.

ike1 · 24/01/2013 20:37

Arse...make that a darkened room with vino...

ike1 · 24/01/2013 20:39

Yep Lubes....I just think both are individuals with opinions (sometimes wrong, sometimes right)..oh well, people clash..best not to derail the thread for too long over a fleece.

watchoutforthatsnail · 24/01/2013 20:40

no, its actually not nice, its akin to bullying. hes admitted he goes after me, when if someone said the exact same thing he wouldnt. ( read his post)

Christ, and yet thats ok?

Its not ok.
Its really not.
How the fuck i can get any of the blame for that i do not know.

watchoutforthatsnail · 24/01/2013 20:43

dont want to derail over a fleece.

dont want to stop the support

but wheres my support when im being attacked, again, which he has now openly admitted to doing?

ike1 · 24/01/2013 20:48

I honestly think that sometimes it is fine to voice an opinion and not expect to be supported. I think both Bant and yourself Watch are on the backfoot with each other and sometimes you are both spiky on occasion. Oh well, that is what human relationships are like sometimes.

lubeybooby · 24/01/2013 20:49

Don't let him get to you watch. He must be loving the reaction he gets from you. Don't feed the troll, ignore ignore ignore.

antonym · 24/01/2013 20:51

watch seriously a wool tie? No one aged less than 110 wears ties these days, except to funerals; wearing a wool tie on a date is spooky behaviour. Your runner was well judged IMO.

PinkPeanuts · 24/01/2013 20:51

Hi All, and Happy Birthday Snape!

Sticking my head in the door to say hello but have absolutely nothing of interest to report. My profile is still being pretty much ignored despite my revamp of it and I'm feeling a little sorry for myself. Ah well, tomorrow is another day...

watchoutforthatsnail · 24/01/2013 20:54

ike - hes admitted to being out for me, when he wouldnt do it to anyone else if they said the same.

Thats not being spikey, thats being awful, its bullying.
