Am I allowed another OMG please??

mercury7 · 13/02/2013 17:13

I dont know, how many 'OMG's have you had this week?
whats the maximum allowable amount?? :o

VoiceofUnreason · 13/02/2013 17:17

I had one earlier today, and that's the first EVER, honest. You do have permission to whack me round the head if I ever (other than in this posting) use the phrase "totes amazeballs"

ike1 · 13/02/2013 17:18

Goodness what could that mean??

JulietteMontague · 13/02/2013 17:19

Voice OMG did she write you, did she did she?

Scrazy · 13/02/2013 17:23

Voice???

ike1 · 13/02/2013 17:26

I am using this moment to lymphatically drain my eyebags with my fingertips. C'mon mun....

VoiceofUnreason · 13/02/2013 17:26

OK, so, the truth is.....when I posted earlier about this woman on OKC and how much of a good match she was (and the fact that she was HOT was an extra bonus)...I had already messaged her. Including that phrase about her being incredibly beautiful. And.... well.... even before I posted earlier....

SHE'D ALREADY REPLIED!!!!!!!

I had a really, really lovely message from her. And one that asked a couple of questions so she welcomes a further message.

Of course I am not so foolish to believe this is going to necessarily lead to a date but it's just SO nice to have someone I messaged on a dating site look at my profile and reply at all, let alone someone that I have so much in common with. When I last did OD for 18 months, the number of replies (excluding the two I met) could be counted on the fingers on both hands.

Having been a bit down about stuff a few weeks ago and with it being that day tomorrow, just to have someone bother to show any shred of interest has brought a smile to my face and made me feel just that little bit better about me.

And I wanted to share. I shan't be at all disappointed if it trails off or we don't meet. It just gives me hope that there might be someone out there.

ike1 · 13/02/2013 17:36

Coolio!.....Have you been telling us porkies tho Voice eh? eh?

mercury7 · 13/02/2013 17:37

super duper Voice :o

VoiceofUnreason · 13/02/2013 17:40

Well, I just thought it would sound more interesting. So many of you are dating or seeing people, just thought I'd build it up a little. For most people, getting a reply isn't a big deal at all. It is for me. So I sort of wanted to make the most of it! The fact that OKC says she replies very selectively makes me Grin quite a bit that she has done to me of all people.

Thanks guys!

ike1 · 13/02/2013 17:43

You ol' ham Voice....sheesh....

VoiceofUnreason · 13/02/2013 17:47

Blush feels bad now...

ike1 · 13/02/2013 17:51

Oh shurrup! We all know the actor's ego needs a bit of audience appreciation..s'all good you daft bugger!

mercury7 · 13/02/2013 17:55

it's very hard to muster up any enthusiasm for sociability in Feb, I just want to lie on my sofa and watch films.

I noticed a man staring at me as I left the gym today, then realised it was a bloke I met for coffee a few months ago I sorta left him hanging because he wasnt really my type.
He didnt acknowledge me, just stared & looked away Hmm

I think I'd best avoid people who are too localBlush

ike1 · 13/02/2013 18:02

Oh I know Merc...squinting..do I know you??? I thought that a bloke, when I went to the volunteering session at my local Arts Centre, was Mr Natural the 29 year old sexter, he of the girthful cock.

We were both looking at each other quizzically (or rather he was probably thinking why is that woman with huge eyebags squinting at me?)

KinNora · 13/02/2013 18:07

Always happy to add to the great lingerie debate I've had some good stuff from here
And sometimes Love Honey has a few bits of attractive underwear not the polyester crotchless knickers though

I've not had chance to read through the day's posts properly yet but Juliette, I'm sorry it's been a shitty day.

And Voice, get in there with Ms Husky !

ike1 · 13/02/2013 18:15

I like the frilly knickers Kin! It's a tad more up market than La Senza eh???

Scrazy · 13/02/2013 18:24

Wow Kin, expensive stuff. I'm more and M&S girl and that's pushing it.

KinNora · 13/02/2013 18:35

Oh I've had some nice stuff from M&S too, Scrazy, the posh stuff is was for recreational purposes only.

Ike, the frilly knickers are mucho ^rustly^ - meaning that one can be heard approaching from some distance away

ike1 · 13/02/2013 18:36

Ah ok....for performance purposes mostly then kin!

OhWesternWind · 13/02/2013 18:37

Nice site Nora. My birthday wear was like the one on the main page for the Pinup section only black. Unable to go to the loo wearing it though which is a bit of a nuisance!

My friend likes What Katy Did - lots of retro stuff.

I like the expensive stuff but I get it off eBay ...

48howdidthathappen · 13/02/2013 18:39

My eye bags would beat anyones at the mo.....

OMG Voice Grin

OhWesternWind · 13/02/2013 18:39

Oh, yes, normal pants are in a five pack from Tesco!

OhWesternWind · 13/02/2013 18:41

I'm kind of reading this thread backwards - got distracted by posh pants. So Voice brilliant stuff!! What did she say? And have you replied yet? Truth now ....
