kirsty make sure you stock up on those vit-a-mins love Wink

Scrazy · 11/02/2013 18:24

I'm back from my date. Big fat no!!!

I couldn't tell from his pic but I do recognise him and not in a good way. He was a creepy starer that I see around from time to time. I did give him the time to find out if I had misjudged but nothing going on at all. He wasn't really bad but you don't go on a blind date hoping to meet someone you have already dismissed in RL.

Sorry to see it kicked off earlier. Watch, I think you dealt the goat situation well in the end. You realised that he'd gone cold and left it and looked again on POF and got chatting to someone else. I'm not an amateur shrink and I hold off from saying this in case I upset you. You come across on the thread as your sexuality being very important to you (as it is to many of us) and I suspect in RL you are smokin. I've seen your photo and you are pretty. You like to launch into a sexual relationship and aren't shy to share on here, some people like it some don't (me as I've admitted), but I can live with it. I'm really not judging as I have been there, but can see that you are left baffled as to why the guys don't want more of it, when you would like it to carry on. If anyone suggests to hold something back, maybe not try too hard too soon, you think they are doing cats bum mouth and boring etc which isn't the case. As it's something I've been through and it used to baffle me, I can see now that it's worth making a connection for these things to carry on, usually, not always. This is meant with good intentions and not to stir anything up again.

Hope everyone is OK.

Mercury, sorry he cancelled.

Snape, hope your bedside manner is up to scratch tonight.

The Pope has proved his credentials as a true catholic - by pulling out before finishing the job!

SweetSeraphim · 11/02/2013 18:40

Snape, hurry the fuck up, I want to know what's going on! Grin

Lubes, how are you m'love?

48howdidthathappen · 11/02/2013 18:42

Oh dear scrazy Not good!

scoobydooagain · 11/02/2013 18:50

well this thread is certainly having "interesting times" today. Good luck Snape tonight and glad OWW that you are feeling a bit more positive today.
Have been seeing someone 3 or so weeks and something felt not quite right yesterday (Saw him all day Friday, Saturday 'til lunch and yesterday afternoon) and anyway had a look at POF and he's online ( now this could of course be innocent but before we even met he had taken his photo down, back up now) anyway my reaction was to laugh, say's it all doesn't it? Don't think the weekend away he had planned or him cooking me dinner Saturday is going to happen!!

Scrazy · 11/02/2013 18:50

48, what the post or the date?

I am very disheartened by OD after 2 dud dates and am thinking about knocking it on the head. I bet if I found someone remotely attractive they wouldn't like me Sad.

Only one possibility with no photo, I daren't ask for one in case I don't want to carry on chatting after receiving it.

Bant · 11/02/2013 18:54

Scrazy- that makes me think of a question for all. We always insist on seeing a photo before we meet the person, and sometimes the pic is great but the pers

Bant · 11/02/2013 18:56

Sorry. Damn phone

Picture is great but the person is meh

How many people have been on a real true Blind Date where you have no idea what they actually look like, apart from maybe a description?

Scrazy · 11/02/2013 18:59

Me, back in the olden days. I did a flurry of blind dates once, no photos exchanged before hand. It wasn't unlike now, very hit and miss and dated only one of them for a few months. We split because I wasn't over my ex, DD was only 2. It was a delight to meet him.

Scrazy · 11/02/2013 19:01

Scoobie, now that would piss me off. I would ask him if he was still looking as you have noticed that he is then dump!

JulietteMontague · 11/02/2013 19:08

I have. I was set up by a woman I met at a wedding who thought I'd be idea for her single male friend who was lovely but women assumed he was wealthy and were then disappointed. It was a big fat Jewish wedding and she was famed for her matchmaking so she arranged a formal dinner party for ' close friends' plus me.

I turned up, did look stunning in my silk cocktail dress and tried to be suitably gracious. He was a rugger bugger, wore a cordury combo and looked scared and I suspect wouldn't have known what to do with me. The feedback was that I was 'very sexy' (who actually says that?) but I'm sure the word filly would have been in there somewhere Grin.

scoobydooagain · 11/02/2013 19:08

Yes Scrazy, I should be pissed off but the fact I'm not sums it up really. Think I'll message him on POF (do I need to unhide my profile for that?) and quote some Smiths Lyrics at him (he's a big fan)

lubeybooby · 11/02/2013 19:09

SS I am ok, thanks, I think. Slightly worried about the dates I've been given to go back, but that's on the other thread. Not looking forward to another pukey weekend. It's wearing me down now. But.. I'll live.

48howdidthathappen · 11/02/2013 19:11

Scrazy The date!

Scooby Bloody hell. You couldn't make it up.

JulietteMontague · 11/02/2013 19:15

Scooby what a tool. So silly, does he really think you wouldn't notice?

Scazy 2 dud dates do not make a pattern yet. Ask for the photo, you never know. A block always saves embarassment Blush

OP posts:
Scrazy · 11/02/2013 19:19

You don't need to unhide to message him if he is in your inbox and you can see him online.

What Smiths lyrics are you sending? Glad that you aren't fussed.

NcNcNcNc · 11/02/2013 19:24

I've met someone on OD whose photo was NOTHING like they looked if that counts?

Worse still we'd done the whole talking for ages by email and text and (God I'm sad) I'd really built it up in my head before we even met to be the next Romeo and Juliet. I saw him and wanted to die Sad

Lubey - hope you're ok. I've had a similar experience, I'm sure you have loads of support but if you want to pm feel free to Smile

scoobydooagain · 11/02/2013 19:26

Scrazy probably "If you are so funny why are you on your own tonight and if you are so clever why are you on your own tonight, if you are so entertaining why are you on your own tonight, if you are so very good looking why do you sleep alone tonight?"

Nomorepain · 11/02/2013 19:27

Just made the nicest bubble and squeak with yesterday's left overs and got slow roasted lamb with it. Wow. Delish! Baileys cheesecake for pudding

Might not have a man but man I've got an appetite!!!

Scrazy · 11/02/2013 19:31

Scooby, perfect, do it.

Lubey, hold on [hugs]. I cannot imagine what you are feeling.
