Evening all. As you were.

Hello :)

Had a good weekend :) Mr Nice stayed here last night as well and just driven off to work. I get children back later on. I have ambitions to do something useful around the house but will probably laze around for at least a while.

I am a Virgo with Cancer rising and the moon is in Libra. It says I should take care not to be lazy Hmm.

Have had a cock picture once. He asked me for a picture of my pussy. I sent one of the cat. This was a 47 year old as well - his cock was a very small thing indeed - not sure why he felt sending it was a good idea...

OWW have a lovely day - hope everyone behaves and that your DDs room does get stripped eventually. Mr Nice has said he will come and make furniture here at the weekend although this does mean we need to get children's rooms ready for it. Could be a painful task.

Mr Nice and I discussed moving in together (which we do relatively often although usually focusing on when we are retired). We seem to have narrowed it down to 5 years or so now, so when his DS has finished at university and my smaller one has started at secondary school. Going for long term I think here GrinShockSmile

I miss him a bit now

OhWesternWind · 19/02/2013 08:38

Miranda he sounds lovely and you seem like you're really happy with him. How was the weekend away?

Velvet that sounds terribly hard on you. I would be a nervous wreck with that little communication. Maybe your first priority with Cuthbert should be to let him know what you want/need in terms of contact, especially as you're limited to how often you can see each other. Sorry, I don't want to tell you what to do but I know you must be finding it hard.

VelvetSpoon · 19/02/2013 09:05

Miranda I agree you do sound v happy. Think you've got a good one there! :)

Western, hope you have a lovely day out with LM and all the DC today. I think I am almost used to barely hearing from Cuthbert, though that's not to say I wouldn't like to hear from him more. But if this is how he is, then I have to either accept it or not really. And honestly, if I knew he was thinking of me as girlfriend material and not as just a casual shag, I wouldn't mind too much. Its the uncertainty, plus the lack of contact that niggles a little!

EternalRose · 19/02/2013 12:53

Miranda you cracked me up when you said you sent a pic of your cat.

OWW Thank you for thinking of me, I am now postinga lot on the EA thread as that seems to appropriate for my situation right now. Although this thread gives me a lot of hope so I am keeping up to date on all the posts.

Angelleta have you name changed?

I dont recognise a couple of the names on the last few pages.

StellaBrillante · 19/02/2013 18:07

evening all Smile
just place-marking and throwing another random question out there: it was all looking VERY GOOD indeed with the lecturer yesterday (not my lecturer btw) as he bought me yet another coffee, cake etc and asked whether I'd like to go out for dinner some time. In fact, he even asked what food I like, etc. Mind you this didn't all happen in one go, it took three slots and a sneaky conversation with a friend to check that I wasn't attached / was likely to say 'yes' to dinner and buying my friend drink & coffee as well... Anyway, he asked me for my number and seeing how keen he was, I pretty much assumed that I'd be hearing from him yesterday evening. However so far nothing...??? Any guesses? Confused Brew

JulietteMontague · 19/02/2013 18:19

Stella he was either busy last night or has heard that he is meant to wait x days to call according to some dating rule. He will call.

I have a date tomorrow evening with the man who I wanted to send a snarky mail to about asking me for a date then vanishing. It's coffee local to me, I have his number, half expecting him to cancel but we'll see. I shall call him V man.

Miranda lovely to hear you are so happy.

Snape I'm sure it's all going great with your nameless one Grin

ike1 · 19/02/2013 18:22

It appears that myself and The Kid have a date on Sunday evening. Cant say that the converstation has been sparkling yet...so we will see if there is any chemistry. He is 34 I am 42 (though he thinks I am 39). Snape have you come clean with Nameless about your age yet? How old is Nameless and do you notice an age difference?

ike1 · 19/02/2013 18:25

Oh and good luck Stella and Jules...have you kinda forgiven V man his tardiness Jules???

StellaBrillante · 19/02/2013 18:26

Juliette it did cross my mind that he was perhaps trying to 'cool it' a bit seeing that he was almost overly keen yesterday. Well, fingers crossed and this will be my second date in 3 years. What are the chances of simply skipping all the niceties and just hoping into bed? Kidding! (but it's getting to that point now Blush_
Hope your date with V man WILL happen and that you will have a very nice time Smile Smile

StellaBrillante · 19/02/2013 18:29

thank you ike1
Well, after 3 years, a couple of dozen created / deleted internet profiles and a few cancelled dates... I finally made it to a semi-blind date a couple of weeks ago - semi as he knew me but I had no idea who he was or looked like. Such a lovely man and we had an enjoyable evening but no spark whatsoever. A good start nevertheless! Grin

WarmFuzzyFun · 19/02/2013 18:32

Hi Stella, he might be ringing round suitable restaurants for availability? Confused Or more likely, he is a lecturer, he was working in the evening or had marking/planning to do?

Or maybe he will ask you in person? Do you see him on a regular day/time of day?

WarmFuzzyFun · 19/02/2013 18:34

X-posts!

ike1 · 19/02/2013 18:40

Yeah I dunno not holding out soulmate staus for Sundays date. I have an image of me wearing my 5" wooden clogg boots ...baring down on this slim, boyish, hippy type guy and scaring him to death....(mind you he is from Holland so he might like them).

StellaBrillante · 19/02/2013 18:44

hi WarmFuzzyFun - twice a week at the most in the form of accidental meetings in the cafeteria. I could see that he was a bit nervous when he eventually sat down to suggest dinner... (which took me by surprise as up to that point he had seemed so confident!).
I can't remember the last time somebody I fancied actually asked me out so I am keeping my fingers crossed! Smile

KinNora · 19/02/2013 18:45

Ike, are you going to ask him if he wants a 'schmoke and a pancake' ?

( I've seen Austin Powers Goldmember very recently, you'll have to make allowances for me )

JulietteMontague · 19/02/2013 18:49

ooh Ike a Netherlander. Is he tall? if he's the 5'6 one then he must be the shortest man in Holland. 34 to 42 is nothing so I wouldn't even think about it. And he is from Holland, he gets points for that for starters.

No I haven't really forgiven V man, it has been logged. I haven't said anything yet but will wait and see how he is and what he has to say for himself when we meet. I'm not having that sort of nonsense.

WarmFuzzyFun · 19/02/2013 18:51

I think Stella he is summoning up the nerve to ask you then, either over the phone or in person.

ike1 · 19/02/2013 18:55

Yeah he is tallish 6ft but TR was 6ft4 so kinda used to neck cricks...well I hope V man is able to redeem himself Jules!

Hmmm here's the other quandry ...due to have my botox n fillers on fri ...bit worried I might rock up looking like a pumpkin head...

ike1 · 19/02/2013 18:57

Kin he looks the type to fancy a schmoke....

ike1 · 19/02/2013 19:01

Might do the botox and have the fillers the following week...better to look jowley than pumpkiney...

Flipper924 · 19/02/2013 19:08

Ike, he'll be wondering how you're getting younger!

StellaBrillante · 19/02/2013 19:08

You are SOOOO brave ike1!!!

KinNora · 19/02/2013 19:12

I think that's eminently sensible, Ike.

I was going to quote more Goldmember, specifically 'toite like a toiger' but decided that it might be construed as mocking his culture.

WarmFuzzyFun · 19/02/2013 19:15

Ike (beauty advice) do you have any advice for dark circles and the beginning of bags under the eyes?

ike1 · 19/02/2013 19:16

I shall have to check that out Kin! Stel you obvs havent got to an age where vanity overcomes fear....
