juliette fireman - not sure. He keeps running himself down which is irritating. It's like he is waiting for me to dump him. On more than one occasion he has asked me 'are you going to blow me out?' And he tells me I think he is my plaything and ill discard him when Im bored. It's a bit wearing tbh.

You ok watch?

I have a waitrose near me. Thing is I can't afford it so have no need to go in!

mercury7 · 20/01/2013 23:17

oh I'm feeling sorry for the fireman Scatty, wonder why he's insecure?
More to the point why does he mention it..I mean I often think things like that but I dont say it!

Scattylatte · 20/01/2013 23:51

I don't know mercury He says I'm a little out of his league, whatever that means. Plus he says he lives in a rough area and I wouldn't like it. He self depreciates his looks. He's not conventially attractive but I like his looks and I've told him but I don't think he believes me.

Helluffooo manny apologies for not addressig stuff ssssssswig dancig g'nite

mercury7 · 21/01/2013 00:56

perhaps you can coax his macho heroic fireman personna out a bit? :o

Scattylatte · 21/01/2013 01:02

I think it's all a shroud for him not offering anything more than sex. To be honest.

mercury7 · 21/01/2013 01:08

'shroud'!
crikey that's an ominous metaphor...do you think it's dead already?

mercury7 · 21/01/2013 01:11

he's accusing you of using him for sex when actually he is the one who only wants sex?

Scattylatte · 21/01/2013 01:24

Yes. In a nutshell. If it doesn't seem right, it ain't right.
He never expresses a need to see me more than once a week.
He always asks me 'what are we doing?'. He will pick me up and he has said he will come up my way.
I never phone him. He always phones me from work or when he is walking his dog. Twice I have phoned him back, both times he said he needed to go to work.
I've never seen his phone. He says he is technology phobic.
When I've seen him, he has said 'shall I leave it to you to give me a call?'
Self depreciation. No money, he has 'moved lots of times' over last few years. That's ok but he will earn as much as me, if not more. Just seems strange.
Says people have walked over him in the past.
Asked me if I thought he was too thin. He is very thin.
He gives me all the signs it's just sex (fine). Thing is the last FWB I had was a great experience as he had a fab esteem and he was very open about everything which was liberating.

Hellooo ladies ....lets do a womens coop and all live happy ever after ...noo texting after 9pm?

lubeybooby · 21/01/2013 03:59

Morning all, god I have this stupid insomnia thing again. Can't seem to sleep more than about 3/4 hours and then need a whole day and evening to be tired again.

Scatty this bloke has me properly puzzled. I can't work out if he is just weird or if it's all a ruse to conceal other things. Like... have you ever been to his house? What would he do if you asked to?

Only phoning you from work or walking dog says 'attached'

The supposed tech phobia could be so you don't realise his phone is a £15 from tesco secret shag phone, or because he is swapping SIMs and when he's with you it's his 'home life' SIM in there.

Something isn't right with him anyway.

Nomorepain · 21/01/2013 04:08

Hi lubey, I'm with you in the insomnia!! I'm so tired then just can't nod off when im in bed and then when I do it's just for few hours.

Can't stop thinking about me complicated. He is lovely, but complicated!

Nomorepain · 21/01/2013 04:09

I also agree about mr Fireman. It isn't adding up. Is he defo a fireman??

grinchie · 21/01/2013 04:24

Another one who can't even get to flipping sleep. Aaargh.

lubeybooby · 21/01/2013 04:32

Hello insomnia club!

OP posts:
grinchie · 21/01/2013 04:32

nomore any idea what you are going to do with Mr Complicated yet?

grinchie · 21/01/2013 04:34

Thanks lubey can I have coffee, please?
Shall we all sit around in our pyjamas putting the world to rights?
Pyjama rhetoric is the best.

lubeybooby · 21/01/2013 04:40

grinchie Brew there you go

Nomore i think he could be worth a try, personally. I do like to at least try things and if it doesn't work leg it. :o

OP posts:
grinchie · 21/01/2013 04:45

Thanks lubey Grin

Voiceofunreason - no, not hay. Hope you find someone gorgeous-looking to go with your doubtless flawless looks and body!

MsArsebiscuit · 21/01/2013 06:27

Morning, slightly worried to see that some of you were up and about only an hour before I got up.

Scatty, if you want me to find out some special fireman knowledge that you can use to test if Mr F is actually a fireman, let me know, I've got contacts < taps nose>

lulubellaboozle · 21/01/2013 06:49

morning! place marking and will catch up later

48howdidthathappen · 21/01/2013 07:53

I often wake in the early hours too. My body clock is fucked. Not good at my age. I need my beauty sleep.

scatty I am going off Fireman.

Watch Hope you are feeling better today Smile

Moving Leave him in the past.

As a horse purchaser. Goggling phone numbers is pretty standard, throws up dodgy dealers. Who would of thought it could apply to dodgy men!

watchoutforthatsnail · 21/01/2013 07:56

cheers scatty, no, im still upset/pissed off really.

its more that its just depressing, same old, same old. You know, just the same old shit.

And i had been silly enough to be excited about meeting, and had bloody gone to the trouble of organising a babysitter etc...

just, more fool me.

Worse is hes sent me a text saying we will have to meet up soon... but of course hasnt actually said when, or even asked when im free. Its just bullshit.

scatty, this guy sounds really puzzling. I have no idea.

lubeybooby · 21/01/2013 08:09

Watch long as you realise it's all him being a total timewasting arse and not you :)
