just realised, that his special dating underwear lasted about 4 weeks and I have now seen lots of greying boxers Hmm In fairness, I don't let him keep them on for long Grin

Where was I? Got distracted at work. Oh yes...

She is WAY out of my league, looks wise. Do I bother messaging, I asked myself?

Notice the use of the past tense? That's what I thought to myself last night. And then I thought "Sod it! Who cares that she is stunningly attractive and isn't going to show any interest in me in that respect? I've been back OD for a couple of days and seen no one even remotely attractive or even cute. And it's not like it's just looks, because I never go for just looks, our profiles just say the same things. What have I got to lose?"

So I messaged her first thing this morning before I told you guys about her! She mentioned a guy has to like her gods and she had a photo of her in the snow with a husky. Really striking dog. I like dogs, used to have German Shepherds, so I commented on that. And then said (still in "what the hell" mode) "oh, and while I think your dog looks fabulous, I think you look incredibly beautiful"

I can't believe I wrote that. You can tell I've been off OD for so long. Oh dear...

Yeah Lulu me too haha! No my special 'panties' are for flashing and get out of quickly or being pulled aside 'roughly' Its not ALWAYS the ironclad variety at chez Ike. Enjoy the knicknacks Snape!

lulubellaboozle · 13/02/2013 13:42

Mr EA has a photo on his phone of my arse in a black lacy thong with hold ups, that was our second date Grin

When he now tells me that he shows people a picture of his girlfriend, I do wonder if they would actually recognise me face to face? Blush

FlorentinePogen · 13/02/2013 13:43

he hasn't seen the grey "period" knickers or the fraying bra yet ..... softly, softly catchee monkey

Fuxake lulu, I knew it wasn't a good idea to eat lunch at the computer.......bloody soup everywhere....Grin

ike1 · 13/02/2013 13:44

Just STOP with the 'out of my league' nonsense Voice...not having that going unchallenged on this thread! Just cos someone has been fortunate regarding a genetic inheritence does not make then better than you in any way!!! Now off to the gym!!

ike1 · 13/02/2013 13:46

Flo you should know better..... a 'hot lunch' and this thread can sometimes be a bad idea.

lulubellaboozle · 13/02/2013 13:48

Yes Voice go for it, what Ike says ^^

Snapespeare · 13/02/2013 13:50

i doubt nameless will care a jot about underwear - he doesn't strike me as the type... but it will make me feel 'princessey' [snort]

lulu Grin I was that close to texting him a photo from the changing rooms... I'm doing a few days of not initiating contact, we were a bit full-on texting last night.

lulubellaboozle · 13/02/2013 13:55

Errmmm aren't all men "the type" for sexy underwear? Hmm

Snape maybe after he gets close and personal with said underwear, he could have a follow up photo with a ..... i know how much you enjoyed it first time around and I thought it was unfair to deprive you a moment longer .... type of text not that I've ever sent anything like that, you understand

48howdidthathappen · 13/02/2013 13:57

SS Sorry you are having a crap time. There is alot of it about.

OWW LMs female friend. You handled that very well.

Well I think in my present state of mind I may of overreacted regarding Mr R&R. He sent me a very sweet text first thing asking how I was etc.
I replied 'okish.' Then a bit of work stuff.
Ball firmly in his court. I am almost past caring.

Voice Message. Nothing ventured and all that Smile

lulubellaboozle · 13/02/2013 13:57

suddenly struck me that I am writing suggestive texts ideas on a dating thread, whilst texting Mr EA about buying a board game in Argos Hmm

MirandaWest · 13/02/2013 13:58

I have bought something which could possibly be described as knickers but is more like a piece of string for the weekend of lurve. Am not exactly expecting it to stay on too long Grin

48howdidthathappen · 13/02/2013 14:03

Mr R&R isn't into underwear at all.

lulubellaboozle · 13/02/2013 14:07

48 he may not be into underwear but he sure is into YOU! Smile please don't give up on him!

JulietteMontague · 13/02/2013 14:10

Will someone please tell me I am not useless. I have just been talking to a man who I wasn't that keen to call. My mobile had no service so I used my land line. He bored me to tears as I cleared up the kitchen. I then got him off the line, it was 50 minutes. 50 fucking minutes. I have no idea how much that is but if it's 40p a minute that is £20. On a muppet talking about himself with me making barbed comments. I kept going until the kitchen was done then realised. Why did I let that happen?

JulietteMontague · 13/02/2013 14:12

I want to cry. It's only a phone bill but I can't afford it and had to give DS less money than was due for his school trip today. Fuck

VoiceofUnreason · 13/02/2013 14:14

Juliette - BT landline to landline is 8.41 p per minute daytime. So if you were calling his landline, I make that £4.20?

VelvetSpoon · 13/02/2013 14:16

Hello all, on my phone so will catch up fully on everyones news later. In the meantime what do you think of this...

So, saw cuthbert last on friday. He has his dc this friday (and I have mine) so the earliest I can see him is next fri.

I think we are going to be stuck seeing each other once a week/fortnight for the foreseeable..I have every other weekend free but he has his dc every sat afternoon-sun eve, and his other dc 1 fri in 3. In the week I have the ds, so would have to ask the ex to do me a favour and have them (which I don't want to use up too often as I have to go away with work soon and will need exs help then) plus boys don't like going there cos they have to sleep on the sofa...

lulubellaboozle · 13/02/2013 14:17

juliette only mobiles cost that much, I don't much about telephone pricing but no landline would be that bad? You are not useless! at worst a bit too polite to be blunt and have got rid of him earlier!

I would say no harm done, a couple of quid lost at most?

VoiceofUnreason · 13/02/2013 14:18

Velvet - guess it depends if you're happy with that. Each of us is different. I wouldn't be happy with only seeing someone once a week or once a fortnight unless perhaps it was the whole weekend each time. Even then, I'd not want to be doing that too long term.

JulietteMontague · 13/02/2013 14:28

Oh. Thank you Voice and Lulu. Relegated myself to just a bit silly then, no real harm done. I did try to look it up on the BT site but couldn't find anything clear [shame]. I think I'm also pissed off with life, I just want a cuddle and the time I had one of those was way back in September and I wasn't that bothered because it was too soon after my LM. Def crying now. Keep thinking I shouldn't have dumped Mr Vague even though he made me jump every time he came near me.

Unfortunately, I am not usually too polite, too opinionated and argumentative apparently. Or maybe all three are possible.

VoiceofUnreason · 13/02/2013 14:34

Juliette - a cuddle from someone who made you jump every time he came near you isn't worth having. the only decent cuddles are from those people who make you want to jump into their arms to get the cuddle in the first place

Bant · 13/02/2013 14:36

Aaaand....

Lolgirl just cancelled. 'I ran into a friend' she says. 'turns out you two dated' she says.

It would feel weird.

So. Tonight. Xbox and beer. Suits me

VoiceofUnreason · 13/02/2013 14:39

Bant - well, that solved the problem!
