Thank you, OWW, I appreciate it. I'm ok, just disappointed, was hoping to feel attracted to him.

OhWesternWind · 03/02/2013 18:50

Hope you feel better soon Nora. Long bath and chocolate maybe?

Secretservice · 03/02/2013 18:51

Does anyone have an explanation as to why an ODer you haven't yet met, mainly because of logistical issues, but kept in contact on an irregular basis, should text of the blue all chatty, you respond in a like manner and then ....... nothing.

Has happened twice today, well once in the wee small hours, and again this afternoon. Why bother if you don't actually want a conversation? Gah!

Scrazy · 03/02/2013 18:54

I haven't heard anything back from my date yesterday. I'm not too fussed about it though, no big loss.

Secretservice · 03/02/2013 18:54

Hope you don't have too long a journey home Nora, it's too easy to get sucked into a well of despond after a crap date and a soulless train home. I know that feeling only too well!

Secret, no, no idea why they do that, it is a bit odd but I don't understand a lot of the things they do.

And no, not a long journey but I do find the tube on a Sunday night a little depressing.

Scrazy · 03/02/2013 19:04

Kinora, I miss my ex too, felt like crying earlier it hurts so much.

OhWesternWind · 03/02/2013 19:12

Secret There are many, many things that people do that I can't figure out the motivation for at all, and this is one of them. Because they can???

Secretservice · 03/02/2013 19:13

middy I suspect you're right. Even called this afternoon's one on it, after he'd asked what I was up to, i replied and then said presumambly you're not up to much either, hence the text! After no response after an hour or so, I texted again 'ah, found something better to do!' I guess that's another one I won't be meeting now!

All this talk of PMT is confusing me - beyond the empathy - don't know whether to be jealous or relieved. Six months period-free, here. Can no longer pretend I'm not menopausal Sad

KinNora · 03/02/2013 19:14

Oh I'm sorry, Scrazy, have a big hug

Scrazy · 03/02/2013 19:17

KinNora, thanks you too.

OhWesternWind · 03/02/2013 19:19

Oh Secret be relieved! I have the mirena coil, partly for contraception but mainly because I'd started having horribly long and heavy periods, and I'd really hoped that I'd be one of those women whose periods stop altogether with it. But I wonder if you still get some if the pmt symptoms even if the actual periods stop? They're a lot lighter and getting further and further apart (cue worried poas a fortnight ago!) so I've not given up hope quite yet.

OhWesternWind · 03/02/2013 19:22

Exes huh.

Don't miss mine at all but sometimes I really hate him. Can let go of it most of the time but sometimes it still gets me

Missing him would be much worse. Hugs to all of you who are feeling low tonight. I am dispensing hugs left, right and centre tonight but why the hell not? We need more love and kindness in this world.

ike1 · 03/02/2013 19:24

OWW yes I understand the pmt thing.....had another good long cry in the cinema to Bull head on my own...it was thoroughly enjoyable in a perverse way. Soz Kin...and commiserate know that fuckin feelin.

Glad you ok Snapes ...in fact I hope you are way more than ok.

Snapespeare · 03/02/2013 19:27

I am on the train home. there was kissing! lots and lots of kissing. ..and it was bloody great! Grin Grin Grin Grin not gropey, but really....there isnt a word I know for it...kind of respectful and tender, but getting quite heated at the same time.

he likes me! he said so! he wants to know when he can see me again!

(we didn't have the std chat. the kisses were too amazing. ..and there were no hands in pants, so it didn't seem the right time.)

OhWesternWind · 03/02/2013 19:28

Yes I am planning a cry in the bath when I finally manage to get dd out of it. (But at least she's washing, which is a whole other thread ...). Might add a bit of alcohol to the mix as well just to make sure I get super maudlin.

How was the fillum?

ike1 · 03/02/2013 19:28

I seem to be regularly emerging from the darkness into the blazing light of a jolly arts centre with a big red hooter and tiny piggy eyes....most embarassing when you bump into people you know.

KinNora · 03/02/2013 19:28

OWW, I have a Mirena too and I definitely think I still get pmt - I find myself suddenly being all weepy, wonder why, and then my period starts.

Thank you for the hugs. I'm stopping feeling sorry for myself and instead going to focus my energy on wishing that Snape is having is having a fabulous time.

KinNora · 03/02/2013 19:30

Huzzah for Snape and Nameless !

OhWesternWind · 03/02/2013 19:30

Ooooooh Snape fantastic!! Sounds like the best type of early date.

So happy for you and Velvet and everyone else who things are coming good for.

ike1 · 03/02/2013 19:30

Aaaaw Snape so pleased and I couldnt think of such greatness happening for a more deserving person! Cheers m' dear!

OhWesternWind · 03/02/2013 19:33

Wonder what's happened to Bant and the lads? All very quiet here recently from a male perspective. Come back, we need you!!

Snapespeare · 03/02/2013 19:33

it was face-stroking gazing into eyes kissing!

I'm 45 and that hasnt happened before! kissing for the sake of kissing!!!!

Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin

(quick hug for everyone who is feeling sad/pre menstrual. will catch up with you properly when my hormones calm down a bit)

Scrazy · 03/02/2013 19:36

Snape, sounds lovely.
