thats the plan velv, thats what i intend to do. might see him tomorrow. if not sometime this week.

western, mothers, mine in paticular, doesnt react to well to me dating. just tell her its not her business and then change the subject. no point getting in a stress over it.

lubeybooby · 03/02/2013 21:16

Watch, oh phew you have so, so done the right thing. And I agree with velvet about goat boy - try the sexy time thing again but if he turns into arse mode again it's time for goat curry.

OhWesternWind · 03/02/2013 21:17

Oh Watch I dunno - you were so adamant after you'd seen him that he'd behaved very badly. Has he apologised at all?

watchoutforthatsnail · 03/02/2013 21:21

He did. I dont think it was malicious.
Im not thinking long term. But as a casual thing for a few weeks. Not boyfriend material. But fun company.

If he does the tv thing ill just leave. And hes goat curry!!! ( so funny lubes)

He might have been shattered had worked 16 hrs and then i turned up just as he got home....

How are you lubes and flipper.

lubeybooby · 03/02/2013 21:25

I am ok-ish thanks watch. Sipping schweppes ginger for queasiness. Making a few calls tomorrow. Boobs busting out of an H cup Confused

88 texts from him today. I was non contactable for 7 hrs in that time too.

Does that seem like someone who ' doesnt want anything heavy'

Worth another go.

watchoutforthatsnail · 03/02/2013 21:27

Will be thinking of you.

catsandmouses · 03/02/2013 21:31

Hope you don't mind me asking, but why do you all do online dating rather than meeting people in RL?

Flipper924 · 03/02/2013 21:40

Watch, good for you wrt YKW. One more go with Goatboy can't hurt, though I'd be wary of someone sending such mixed messages.

Aww, Snape, you've made me feel all warm and fuzzy. [warm and fuzzy smiley]

Sorry he wasn't what you'd hoped for, Nora, onwards and upwards, eh?

Am also feeing pukey, but eating or drinking anything is helping. Boobs had lost their soreness yesterday, but it's returning again (actually filling an A cup completely rather than partially :-p), but still spotting on and off. Have no idea how to feel, so you've all been an excellent distraction. Work will help with that tomorrow.

OhWesternWind · 03/02/2013 21:40

88 texts!! How many did you send him? Just being nosy here. I am way out of my texting league here!

Flipper924 · 03/02/2013 21:46

Hello,Cats. For me, I started OD when I realised that I'd been single for a year, and in all that time hadn't met a single, single man of a suitable age. Not one, and I'm no shrinking violet. It's not like I even meet them but put them off, or am too picky, there's none to pick from! So OD widens my opportunities.

ChooChooLaverne · 03/02/2013 21:46

Oh Gawd, hello all. I've been lurking for a while and have finally taken the plunge and signed up with Love and Friends - has anyone tried this site?

They keep sending me messages saying that someone has tagged me but they don't tell you who but instead give you a choice of four potatoes men and if you tag one and it happens to be the one who has tagged you then you have a, er, match.

I'm 43 and have been honest with my age and out of about 30, 29 of these men have got to be in their late 50s - at least. And I can pretty much guarantee that the one who has tagged me is that one, every time.

Should I have lied about my age?

Snapespeare · 03/02/2013 21:49

watch you are going to shout at me, but I mean this with kindness.

Fist-bump for ykw. Do you think giving goat boy another go might be as a reaction to rejection of ykw? I'm asking because i don't want to see you waste time on post coital man vs food.

watchoutforthatsnail · 03/02/2013 21:51

Probably about the same. Just chatting back and forth.. constantly

Its been like that from the beginning. More yesterday . Plus 2 phone calls.

Im not reading it as mixed messages, hes
Spoken, ive listened. Its a fling. But its a lot of contact for a fling!!!

Catandmouse. Rl dating opps are tiny. Working, limited socalising time, friendship groups that dont include singles etc..

watchoutforthatsnail · 03/02/2013 21:54

No. I already decided to see goat boy again when he made me laugh so much a tiny bit of wee came out. This was before i even heard from ywk .

Hes just been relegated from boyfriend matetial to shag piece :)

catsandmouses · 03/02/2013 21:57

Thanks for that Flipper924. I'm currently joining leisure/activity things to broarden my social circle and also thinking it might bring me into contact with some men. But who knows? A year on, I might be doing online too. I did it years ago but it took up a lot of head space and I don't want that again. But I think this thread is great Smile

Snapespeare · 03/02/2013 22:02

Ok watch. Just please promise you won't take any shit. :-)

Lovely texts from nameless. I'm kind of thinking I might pop by one evening in the week. Maybe.

watchoutforthatsnail · 03/02/2013 22:10

Course i wont.
I didnt when i was there anyway.

Im certainly not going to if im thinking of it as a casual thing.

ike1 · 03/02/2013 22:39

do it Snape! do it Snape!

48howdidthathappen · 03/02/2013 22:43

Cat I did OD for a few months after ending my LTR, just as a bit of fun, to fill the empty space. Met about 5 men.
Met a chap in RL. He was off to OZ for 6 months, due back end of March. Missed him more than I thought I would. Went back to OD 2 months after he left for a week. Met Mr Fucked up, had a brief fling, binned him.
Then met Mr R&R in RL just before christmas. Still with him Smile

ike1 · 03/02/2013 22:46

48 tell me to mind my own biz...but what are you going to do about Mr R&R when Mr Oz reappears?

48howdidthathappen · 03/02/2013 22:58

Ike Honestly I have no idea. I was going to write to Mr OZ after christmas when he sent me a card with his address. I didn't have his address before, another 'no pressure guy'. Then my mum had the stroke. Mr R&R has been fantastic about all the crap in my life. I think alot of him.

I have been pondering what to write to Mr OZ. I really should tell him I am involved with another man. I didn't make him any promises. I feel bad about the whole situation Sad

48howdidthathappen · 03/02/2013 23:01

I haven't told Mr R&R about Mr OZ either. Its a fucking mess.

ike1 · 03/02/2013 23:02

I dont think there is anything to feel bad about 48. These things happen, no promises made. Does Mr R&R know about Mr Oz?

48howdidthathappen · 03/02/2013 23:05

x posts. I am doing what drove me nuts about my ex. Burying my head in the sand.
