Oh I'm not at all bothered! Unless it/she's upset LM. I think she might have had designs on him ...

mercury7 · 14/02/2013 19:57

getting a decent pic is always a bit tricky for me, I usually take a bit of film with a webcam and pick out the best stills

Snapespeare · 14/02/2013 19:57

OWW cryptic and angsty = attention seeking and needy. Might just be the day though, especially as she has recently finished LTR?

ike1 · 14/02/2013 19:57

Yeah I reckon oww

One of my lovely customers has just let me know she has managed to do an instant bank transfer. She usually pays by cheque.

I can pick up and pay for my car in the morning without stretching the overdraft any further. Good news indeed Smile

I once did a striptease via the medium of a series of picture messages for Spud's birthday, I think the periodic arrival of them on his mobile throughout the day distracted him somewhat.

ike1 · 14/02/2013 20:12

That's so cool kin!

KinNora · 14/02/2013 20:12

OWW, I thought she might have had designs on LM when you mentioned her the other day but decided not to say anything as I didn't like to be too cynical about her.

KinNora · 14/02/2013 20:12

It went down very well, Ike

KinNora · 14/02/2013 20:13

Not that the daft Irish fucker deserved it.

48howdidthathappen · 14/02/2013 20:14

I feel like the shy retiring type Shock Grin

KinNora · 14/02/2013 20:16

Does that happen often, 48 ?Grin

48howdidthathappen · 14/02/2013 20:17

It is a new experience Grin

KinNora · 14/02/2013 20:21

Give it a bit longer and you'll be texting Mr R&R photos of yourself posing provocatively in your underpinnings like you've been doing it for years ...

48howdidthathappen · 14/02/2013 20:26

We did have a jokey text conversation once about him taking pics. I asked if he meant stills or film. He replied 'both' Grin

Not liking the sound of this friend OWW.

The only reason you'd say 'what, as more than friends?' if someone told you they were seeing someone was if you were really shocked. And why be shocked? You're both grownups and single why wouldn't you be seeing each other...

Can only think of two reasons she's shocked, either she thought he was her boyfriend (hopefully not) or, more likely she had designs on him.

Maybe he didn't tell her about you because he knew she had (unreciprocated) designs on him and didn't want to upset her or make things akward?

Unsolicited advice - Would have a conversation with him if I were you.

48 - I want Mr R&R Smile

Snape - And I want nameless Grin

Happy Valentines Day everyone. Pfft. I celebrated Valentines Day by...drafting the divorce petition at a solicitor's appointment. Living the dream eh? Actually, it's a weight off my mind. Good riddance STBXH you awful 'man'.

Sorry, I must sound awful myself. Onwards and upwards!

OWW Pwincess girl sounds like a complete pain. It seems like she's having a passive aggressive tantrum because she hasn't got her own way.

Voice I am shocked that you have received NINE messages along those lines. Some people are unreal!

Hi everyone else Smile

I text Mr Pheasant on Monday asking if he wanted to do something this weekend, as he had asked me both times previously. He said yes but still no day arranged or any plans whatsoever. I can't text again so I am going to sulk and eat biscuits instead.

ike1 · 14/02/2013 20:35

I have been checking out 'Eco dating' and 'Dating Vegetarian' nice concept but hardly any choice...

Snapespeare · 14/02/2013 20:37

NcNc

Not a chance.

Oh no. I definately saw him first. Grin

OhWesternWind · 14/02/2013 20:47

Bunny since you asked him, maybe he's waiting for you to come up with a date/plan. I'd just text and say how about meeting at xxx at whatever o'clock ...

Nc you could well be right I think I'll have a casual conversation with LM about it when I see him.

Have sent LM a photo of my pants and asked him to show me his ... We'll see. He's not read the message yet ... Hope he's not still at his mum's!!

Happy valentines day to all my lovely mn dating advisors GrinGrinGrin

KinNora · 14/02/2013 20:51

48, oh I've done film too - most artistic Arf.

48howdidthathappen · 14/02/2013 20:55

Bunny Agree with OWW Just text saying when is good for you.

Snapespeare · 14/02/2013 21:10

I am googling FAQ sheets on genital herpes for men so I can print one off for nameless.

I am horribly considerate.

And absolutely horned to the nth.

48 'We did have a jokey text conversation once about him taking pics.'
I'm wondering how you felt about him taking the pictures?
You see, what I think the fwb I referred to may have been getting at was him taking pictures whilst I performed a certain 'act' (I'm sure I dont need to spell it out)
anyway I'm happy to send pictures that I've taken in private and then chosen and edited, but I dont think I'd let someone else take pictures.

Is that weird?? Confused
