Dating chit chat here :)

Not sure my day would cheer you up, Rose although I can tell you my current OD summary -

Email from Mr Software going on about computery stuff zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. If he had had a bit more about him I might have snogged him, despite the maverick nasal hair ( his, not mine ). This is how desperate I am for a bit of action.

Further messages from Mr Freaky Weird Coincidence in which he claims to find me 'intriguing' and 'can't wait to talk to me'. Yeah ? Whateva.

GS message from Mr 'Bloody Hell, You do Realise it's No Longer 1983, Don't You ?' In which he expands on the joy of happening upon a muntjac deer on a woodland walk. Tempted to reply ' do I sound like the kind of woman who gives a flying fudge about you bothering wildlife ?' Instead have thanked him for his message and expressed surprise that he produces a magazine based solely on one piss poor 80s band.

I am overcome with dating ennui. I will never get my leg over again.

@SweetSeraphim

Okies, will do.

Thank you. Sounds like it may help us see more of the whole picture...

Scrazy · 15/02/2013 18:51

Rose, I couldn't possibly link. I put a new photo up and made my profile visible so hoping I can get a decent guy to chat to, still waiting for a reply so maybe not.

JulietteMontague · 15/02/2013 18:55

HelenMumsnet MNHQ Repeat posts

Helen so MNers are allowed to write posts full of spite, using personal details previously shared against someone but the crime is to actually call that behaviour out as spiteful?

And fwiw I haven't even seen the most recent post but have seen enough examples of 'some people' taking peoples personal details they have shared when needinsupport That is actually what abusers do. Tired of it, its appalling behaviour.

EternalRose · 15/02/2013 18:56

Kin, that did cheer me up! Those men really sound like boredoms you know...and the deer in the woodland park?? Grin

EternalRose · 15/02/2013 19:00

It's ok scrazy, I am just visualising a cheeky man in a fireman's outfit now. Hope you get some replies soon, I am sure you will.

KinNora · 15/02/2013 19:02

I'm glad, Rose, I do try. Yeah, no idea about the deer, he does mention that he doesn't want 'a one night stand' so, ya know, that's a real relief because I want to live in the woods with you and admire the mammals.

Nomorepain · 15/02/2013 19:04

Could I have some advice. Mr Irish just text this

I'm not a happy chappy my mate has rang off sick :( I was looking forward to tonight now its just me and my recorded movies on catch up, hows your day been xx

I replied

That's a bit rubbish! My day has been good thanks! X

Now worried I am too moody so was going to reply this...

I've just been told off for being moody. Didn't mean to be moody just disappointed as I was looking forward to meeting you xx

Help!!

OhWesternWind · 15/02/2013 19:07

Helen yes I did report the post, was told it was 'borderline' and it was allowed to stand.

Scrazy · 15/02/2013 19:08

Nomore, suggest that he comes anyway.

EternalRose · 15/02/2013 19:08

I don't understand the movie bit nomorepain. Is he going to have to work now because his friend is off sick?

x

EternalRose · 15/02/2013 19:09

kinnora you crack me up. Grin

JulietteMontague · 15/02/2013 19:09

Nomore that was fine actually. He could have apologised for cancelling, he could have asked to re-arrange, he could have said sorry to let you down.

Do not text about being moody, maintain coolness on this one. He should be working here not acting like its 'no biggy'

lulubellaboozle · 15/02/2013 19:16

nomore have I got it wrong, it wasn't a date, just that you were both out with mates and going to the same place so arranged to meet. Now his mate has cancelled, so he's having a night in? I would just text and say "okay now we aren't meeting tonight, when are we going to meet ?!?" and leave it to him from there ....

lubeybooby · 15/02/2013 19:19

Nomore you need your twat radar honing!

He hasn't even said sorry and you're thinking of apologising to him for something that didn't even come across as moody

Step away from the phone :o

mercury7 · 15/02/2013 19:21

oh right, well in the interests of maintaining coolness I'd say okay thanks for letting me know.
If someone cancels a first meeting and doesnt mention re arranging I'd just leave the ball in their court

Nomorepain · 15/02/2013 19:26

He just text and is trying to get another mate to come out. That's good. Means I wasn't blown off it was genuine reason. It wasn't a date just a masterminded meet up. I feel okay now!!

EternalRose · 15/02/2013 19:31

hope you get to meet him tonight nomore.

I am about to settle down and eat a big pizza for the second night in a row, with ice-cream for dessert and maybe a bit of cake too.

What is everyone else up to this evening (apart from snape, we all know what she is up too: wondering if we will get an update this evening or tomorrow)

KinNora · 15/02/2013 19:38

Nomore, not sure if it helps but one of my OD resolutions was not to apologise continually (obviously I would if I'd actually done something wrong)- I've had a bad habit in the past of saying 'sorry' almost as a reflex action. Now if I feel like saying it, I pause and check myself.

KinNora · 15/02/2013 19:40

Rose, I'm knocking back a homemade Cosmo and a Dairy Milk. I'm living the high life.

mercury7 · 15/02/2013 19:40

tonight I am waiting for my 'maintenance fwb' to arrive, then I'll make lentil stew and watch a film:)

Scrazy · 15/02/2013 19:40

Fed up waiting for a reply so I've logged off. He's probably chatting up someone else or married, he only sent private images.

Bant · 15/02/2013 19:47

Evening all. I'm home with the DCs, no dating for me.

Did have an annoying OD experience tho even though I'm on the sofa cos of travel issues.

I got winked at by someone with no picture, but close by and a decent enough profile. I responded and said hello, could she send a picture as I want to know who I was talking to, which is only fair I thought. She brushes it off, we exchange more emails and she seems okay ish.. Enough that if she was attractive I'd meet her and see if she was more interesting in person, not so interesting that I'd meet someone I didn't fancy just in the hopes she was un

OhWesternWind · 15/02/2013 19:50

Tonight, Rose, I'm going to be .... eating chocolate and drinking rum.

JulietteMontague · 15/02/2013 19:52

Bant could this be the hand of The Artist's web? Bit of a co-incidence and she kept accusing you of being a player.
