That's so lovely, 48, I'm so glad that he lived up to expectations.

RedRosy · 10/02/2013 16:01

Thank you,lubey, my oh said he got registered on other sites, but it seemed a bit far fetched to me! Good luck to you all, and thank you x

Snapespeare · 10/02/2013 16:07

lubey yay for telly man. That's lovely! :)

48 :) mr R&R seems a good sort.

oww thinking of you. It's very difficult.. I didn't have the greatest relationship with my mum, but she was still my mum!

I cropped out namelesseeeses photo of his wall of records and added 'a kiss for every record you own?' then took photos of my six bookcases, pasted them together and added '...that's how I feel about books'

...he's just sent me a story about an occupation of a library ending in victory and a photo of a packet of Viennese whirls that he's bought for tomorrow.

He's utterly getting it.

48howdidthathappen · 10/02/2013 16:27

He is lovely. Mad as a hatter. But lovely.

He has gone straight to his parents. His sister stayed with them, or he would of stayed to make sure they were ok.

We are still only just getting to know each other. I like what I know Smile

Snape All sounding fab with nameless.

Snapespeare · 10/02/2013 16:29

I'm really pleased that he seems to be a nice chap, your mr R&R

Nameless clearly knows I would do almost anything for a Viennese whirl! Wink

watchoutforthatsnail · 10/02/2013 17:40

hmmm, no, have totally blown it with goat.

asked if he wanted to do something next week and he said he cant, hes busy. but didnt offer anything else.

so, thats that then.

Bollocks

SweetSeraphim · 10/02/2013 17:40

Fucking hell Bant, have you not seen Hostel??? :o :o

Scrazy · 10/02/2013 17:43

Gulp, I have a coffee date tomorrow.

Scrazy · 10/02/2013 17:46

Agree Bant, you were lucky they let you out without buying the girls a drink.

SweetSeraphim · 10/02/2013 17:48

He was lucky to get out without getting his Achilles tendon sliced! ShockGrin

Scrazy · 10/02/2013 17:54

Watch, why did you have a go at Goat, was it because he was online when he cancelled on you?

watchoutforthatsnail · 10/02/2013 17:59

because ive had no contact hardly, since thur. i sent a messgae saying it was bafflingto me, but if he wanted to leave it to let me know as i didnt want to keep sending random messages for no reason.

he couldnt believe i was serious, said it was only sunday, bearing in mind the sudden drop from maybe 200 msgs to 5!! im not stupid, its pretty obvious, esp as hes been off this weekend.

i appolgised, he said it was fine. i asked if we were cool, he said of course.

So, i asked if he fancied watching walking dead with me friday eve. and he said no, i said no worries and now he texts ' this is getting uncomftable, isnt it'

so, ive said yes, only because i was actually right this morning and he should have been straight with me then.

:(

mercury7 · 10/02/2013 18:01

I also have a coffee date tomorrow Scrazy !
good luck to both of us:o

lubeybooby · 10/02/2013 18:09

I wouldn't bet on that being it, watch. He'll be full of the joys of text when he wants another shag

Scrazy · 10/02/2013 18:10

It's hard getting the balance right in the beginning isn't it? But you sensed he was going cold, so better that you acted on it.

Mercury, fingers crossed for both of us Grin.

lubeybooby · 10/02/2013 18:11

SS Shock oh god yes, hostel. Lucky escape there Bant Wink

Good luck mercury and scrazy :o

SweetSeraphim · 10/02/2013 18:13

Watch, how can he say he wasn't cooling off after going from 200 messages to only 5? It's obvious! That said, I suppose you can't keep up that intense level of contact for ever... Out of interest, if he was off this weekend, why hadn't you made arrangements to see each other?

watchoutforthatsnail · 10/02/2013 18:17

exactly.

hes said he does want to see me, felt like i wanted to see him all the time. i told him i wasnt actually free this weekend and itsnot fair to blame me when hes done most of the contact.

SweetSeraphim · 10/02/2013 18:19

He said he felt like YOU wanted to see HIM all the time?? But he's the one that's done all the running? Arrogant prick Angry

SweetSeraphim · 10/02/2013 18:21

I had a very horrible, intense and damaging relationship with someone like this watch. The one before my lovely DP. Someone on here called it a push-you-pull-you relationship. It nearly sent me to the nuthouse, tbh. Please be careful.

MsCellophane · 10/02/2013 18:31

Lucky escape Bant!

Good luck to coffee-ers this week

Watch, he did seem to have the slight arse about him, but you knew that. I don't get why these men chase, chase, chase for a couple of meetings and then pull away. Surely, if they kept friendly, they would get more sex. Tis a mystery

LennyKravitzlookalike has been chatting all day so the fact I couldn't understand a word he said on the phone last week, hopefully hasn't meant he thinks I'm a wazzock

MrCM has his kids all weekend - until weds. I haven't contacted him as I think Dad time should be Dad time - but the arsehole has been on POF and evow all weekend. I prob should have kept him deleted, don't get him at all

Man I rescued couldn't get a cab last night, so there was no coffee or Coffee sadly

And so we go into another week - and can I just say...Fuck Off valentines

JulietteMontague · 10/02/2013 18:33

There you go Watch, it's suddenly all your fault for responding being unable to resist when he said he didn't want anything 'heavy' Hmm Knobber.

48 R&R is sound, isn't he Grin

Good luck Mercury and Scazy

watchoutforthatsnail · 10/02/2013 18:34

nope, thats it. had a phone call, he said hes selfish and doesnt want to see anyone and thats just how he is right now.

JulietteMontague · 10/02/2013 18:34
