Be still my beating clit

Scrazy · 02/02/2013 22:36

He looks hot!!!!

watchoutforthatsnail · 02/02/2013 22:37

And cowboy boots.

I like some proper cowboy boots.

watchoutforthatsnail · 02/02/2013 22:38

See scrazy.
Not too disimilar in style.

Has the same beard. And long dark hair too

But alas, was a muppet

Snapespeare · 02/02/2013 22:38

I would need a ball-gag. I can't actually listen to him.

Scrazy · 02/02/2013 22:39

I don't normally take notice of him is he on the marching powder?

Snapespeare · 02/02/2013 22:40

You would think with all that money, he might find a decent tattooist [snob face]

watchoutforthatsnail · 02/02/2013 22:42

Clean. Does a lot of anti drug stuff.
Spoke to parliment about it..did a good documentary last summer.

watchoutforthatsnail · 02/02/2013 22:44

I like his wittering.
I might be blinded by his hotness though. As evidenced by last night i am not the best judge of character when someone is really hot.

Scrazy · 02/02/2013 22:48

Common Jarvis, todays kids need a working class leftie to put some ideas in their heads. Who does this now?

Scrazy · 02/02/2013 22:51

Watch, it's all OK, you have realised this, we all make mistakes and no harm done.

What is that saying, and all will be well etc. I remember someone quoted it on this thread.

watchoutforthatsnail · 02/02/2013 22:53

Noone. Its all rap shit.

I saw pulp you know. .. spoke to jarvis too. Back when i was younger and cooler.

watchoutforthatsnail · 02/02/2013 23:15

scrazy, ive always done it, and will continue to. am foolish for a bit of scruff.

ike1 · 03/02/2013 00:01

I used to like RB but now I find him...sniff....AFFECTED...sniff ...(I have had my head turned by the older gentleman, now, y'know...)

ike1 · 03/02/2013 00:06

That bloody Life of Pi is a bit bloody deep innit? Watched it in 3d , had to leave half way through it was giving me sea sickness (true story).

watchoutforthatsnail · 03/02/2013 00:09

i am seeing ykw, sat 16th.
as in, two weeks.

at the castle. and same pub i was just at today.

not for shagging, i dont fancy him anymore. not for dating, i dont want to date him. not for arguing, i dont care anymore. but just because.

Snapespeare · 03/02/2013 09:00

I'm a bit worried about that watch wont everything come flooding back? you might not fancy him/want to shag him now, but seeing him in person might change that? then again it might be cathartic and nail down the lid for ever....

Flipper924 · 03/02/2013 09:09

Oooh, Watch, are you sure that's a good idea?

I saw the beginning of JR and got all excited about his guests, then realised I was too tired and went to bed. I saw Pulp two years ago, and Jarvis solo a few years back. He did a cover of Paranoid. Brilliant. But I've never spoken to him

Ike, I did wonder if that would be the result of 3D.

Yay, Velvet! Woohoo! I am so so so pleased for you. Different to your usual type is good.

So, remind me, who went on dates last night and who has dates today?

Snapespeare · 03/02/2013 09:23

I have a date today. really looking forwards to having the std talk.... Hmm presuming there is talk of Coffee...

Flipper924 · 03/02/2013 09:46

Ah, yes, Snape. You're going to have to give him a name, now, I think. I hope it goes well, I'm sure it will, I have a feeling that you're a good judge of character, and wouldn't be 2nd dating someone if you didn't think they'd respond supportively.

You're due to check in about 5 to avoid calls to emergency services, yes? Just planning my day...

watchoutforthatsnail · 03/02/2013 09:51

no, i think it needs to happen. He really needs a friend right now.
I agreed to see him but said that he needed to know that i cant fix his shit. Im not magic, i am not responsible for his shit. It does not mean i want anything to happen, that there are certain things we cannot and will not discuss. and that i dont want to talk about these things while before seeing him.
he has assured me he is now single, but does not want me to think hes come running because he is feeling vunerable. That he understands totally and just wants to see me. He asked if i would meet him at the train station, which might not sound much, but he was the most arrogant man in the world... and he seems so beat he cant even find his way to the pub with a map.

I hadnt spoken to him in ages and ages and i said he needed to know that i dont love him, i did, but i dont. I also told him i didnt want to be judged in any way as i may have put on some weight since i last saw him, he was cross that i could even think that would be an issue, and then said that he had aged... i told him that didtn matter.

Appolgies for bad behaviur on both sides and a general misunderstanding, lust, hindsight and everything..... A strange situation, nearly 4 years in the making.

So, in a way, im hoping its just a nice afternoon and evening. and then thats it. A hug and a goodbye and its all sealed up nice and tidy.

Snape - have a good date :)

lubeybooby · 03/02/2013 09:59

Oh watch. I really think you'll regret it. I know there's all the best of intentions there but with a bloke like him I think you're being a little naive/idealistic. Guard yourself hon. And don't let him know where you live now - and be prepared to change your number afterwards.

OP posts:
watchoutforthatsnail · 03/02/2013 10:12

im not telling him lubes.

hmmm, you really think? you dont think it will just tie it all up in a good way and be done?

i think the issue is he wont let go because ive become this thing he cant have, who, will make everything better. If he sees that i am not. and cant, then that hold is gone, and he can move on.

Ive moved on, ages ago. But to him, im now on some pedalstall. I dont belong on it. If it were a fing or sometihng, yeah. i could understand, but this is nearly 4 years now, its stupid. It needs a definate end.

48howdidthathappen · 03/02/2013 10:15

I think I agree with Lubey The past is best left as that. the past. Your call though Watch

Snape Have a lovely 2nd date.

Go you velvet

lubeybooby · 03/02/2013 10:18

Ok that's good re: addy.

I do really think so - there's utterly no need to meet at all for a definite end. The definite end can be you saying via text - look, this is the definite end. No texts, no calls, go away.

It's likely to make it more difficult for him if anything, rather than the neat package you hope for him. Remember what a lot of us were saying about going no contact, and that each contact drags it out and removes the scab that is trying to heal, it's always a setback. Not anything positive. He'll harass the fuck out of you afterwards.

You owe him nothing, especially when it's potentially going to cause you more hassle.
