Velv...I dont think there is a big issue here he has probably left his phone in another room or something

Snapespeare · 06/02/2013 22:32

[wetfish] he's not a big texter.

All is well until proved otherwise.

VelvetSpoon · 06/02/2013 22:35

I rather fear its actually not good, not just a bit slack. Because such is my luck, that however brilliantly something appears to be going, it all turns to shit the moment I get the slightest bit happy about it.

I hope ever so much I'm wrong though and he's just busy.

mercury7 · 06/02/2013 22:38

If I'm up to speed on this Cuthbert said lets get together on Friday, Velvet said thats fine with her.
Therefore as far as Cuthbert is concerned they've agree'd on Friday and there is nothing further to discuss, except possibly firming up the details nearer the time?

Flipper924 · 06/02/2013 22:44

Velvet, you know he's just busy. And you know that if he has to rearrange Friday, it's because something's come up, not because he's not interested or anything like that. If that was the case, you'd be back wondering if he's worth hanging around for, but please don't don't see it as a reflection on you.

Lubey, glad you're feeling more human today, enjoy it while it lasts! I've been pretty good, feeling bloated again, and felt very nauseous in front of a client for 5 minutes, but otherwise quite normal. And calm, for the first time since last Thursday.

Mercury that's how it was - hence my text tonight said was he still ok for Friday and what time did he want to come round? (we'd already said vaguely on Sat that for our next date I'd cook him dinner).

Hopefully I'll hear tomorrow. Thing is, although he's crap at texting, he hasn't ever cancelled on me yet. And after our convo last time and him admitting he was useless, he DID arrange another date straight away (whereas the time before he said 'we'll sort something soon' and then I didn't see him for 6 weeks), so was as good as his word.

I will honestly be gutted if I don't now hear from him, I do like him rather a lot.

VelvetSpoon · 06/02/2013 23:38

Wine, sorry meant to say hope your doggy is ok and it's just a little sprain or something :)

Scattylatte · 06/02/2013 23:54

snape I think it's not when but how you tell him. When I told fireman about my reconstruction I had to explain it so it was not that medical but I got tangled and ended up explaining in too much detail and i think he was a bit freaked out. I know your situation isn't the same at all but it's striking the balance between a realistic explanation and a medical one. Fundamentally you are well and you know you have H - and I totally understand your need to tell him based on the premise he needs to know. What you don't know is his current knowledge base regarding H and its transmission and how he will react based on that. So, could you suss him out a bit beforehand and see what he knows about the subject in general?

Scattylatte · 07/02/2013 00:02

velvet hope you get a Pre date confirmation text. My friend doesn't text hardly yet we are v close. I just trust her to be there or let me know otherwise.
wine hope your dog gets better. Poor thing.
I'm spending half a weekend with fireman walking. He called me today to ask what I'm wearing in the evening. Apparently he's been getting fashion advice from a woman at work when he told her I was much trendier than him. He has been sending nice flirty texts and is giving up smoking now (I don't smoke yet I don't have a strong opinion of his smoking either, it's up to him). So this week, all is good.

VelvetSpoon · 07/02/2013 00:16

I got a text....all is well and I am especially as he said he was looking forward to seeing me!

(I think he may have been at the pub...I was reminded by a RL friend I have just been wittering to that it was the England game tonight. Silly me)

Thank you all for putting up with me

MirandaWest · 07/02/2013 00:23

Yay for the text :)

watchoutforthatsnail · 07/02/2013 06:36

Im really pleased :) if hes a crap communicator it wont hurt to send a message or two between seeing him...

Goat talks as much as me. Not substsinable so not much better. ....plus obv way more of a short term thing.

But. I am now seeing him today. In a few hours.

48howdidthathappen · 07/02/2013 07:53

Velvet Happy you got a reply You know his texting pattern, slightly annoying granted, but who he is.

KinNora · 07/02/2013 08:11

Morning everyone,

Glad Cuthbert pulled his finger out, Velvet.

How's the tooth, 48 ?

May I just recommend, for those who haven't already seen it, the David Beckham video posted on Chat as an excellent day enhancer ? Now, I certainly don't fancy the man, don't like men with shedloads of tattoos, men with facial hair, men with Ricky Gervaise-esque hairstyles, however Mr B running through LA in his grundies is an aesthetically pleasing thing.

Have a good day you crazee dating guys

I will admit to finding that video pleasant viewing indeed. DB just gets better with age. I didn't fancy him at all in the babyfaced years.

Hi Kin Not too bad. Still going to make an appointment.

There are not enough hours in a day. Gonna be a PITA!

48howdidthathappen · 07/02/2013 08:25

Booked. 11.10. Bloody annoying, now deciding if it is worth going in to work for an hour and half. Fuck it, not worth it, going to put me behind schedule. Grrr!!!

Flipper924 · 07/02/2013 09:10

Morning all!

Velvet, really glad Cuthbert came through with that text. Can he be Lovely Cuthbert again now?

48, is there anything you can do from home before your appointment, so you're not so far behind?

(TMI alert) Cramping and bleeding this morning, so looks like it's all kicking off

Thank you all for your support this week, you've all been amazing. Whilst I'm obviously very sad about this, I'm also incredibly pissed off that, yet again, something I really want has been almost within my grasp, then snatched away again. Surely I deserve a bit of good luck at some point? If there is such a thing as Karma, I'm due for a bloody amazing payout soon.

VoiceofUnreason · 07/02/2013 09:16

Flipper have some

ike1 · 07/02/2013 09:17

Hugs Flipper, so sorry sweetheart. xxxx

SweetSeraphim · 07/02/2013 09:19

Hope you're ok Flipper x

48howdidthathappen · 07/02/2013 09:22

Flipper so, so sorry. Wish I could give you a great big hug.

Snapespeare · 07/02/2013 09:27

flipper (hug)

This will be little comfort, but I do absolutely believe in everything having it's reason. because, otherwise, it's so unfair and frankly fucking horrible that cunty people have trouble-free lives sometimes and the good guys get a shit-storm.

I am thinking about you today and wishing you all sorts of well. All manner of things will be well.
