Evening all. As you were.

With all the interest some people have been getting, Scrazy, I'd say there are fewer undesirables than there once were!

Yep, just me left now!

Mercury they were getting so obscure it was winding people up seeing them in active convos, and also making us look cliquey. As the thread is my baby I don't want us being relegated to OTBT like the quiches and it's important that we are visible for the poor souls out there about to throw themselves into the shark pit...

Scrazy · 16/02/2013 17:51

Oh, gosh I didn't mean undesirables as in no-one wants us. Put's spade back and gets coat.

I wasn't criticising the title at all, 'Here we go again' is what I'm thinking every time I log into PoF: Hmm

Tamoo - I know you weren't. But yes, dating is all about trying again until we get it right (hopefully)

Marking my spot

I am spending the weekend treading on eggshells round my passive agressive mother who is as sick of me and DD living with her as we are of being there!! :(

Ah well hot date with Mr Cheeky next Friday to look forward to Grin

scrazy I know how you feel, I have been feeling really lonely since Christmas time actually Hmm I don't have any good advice but I know how you feel xxx

So like I said a few days ago my brothers friend asked me out for valentines but I didn't have a babysitter, he has just asked me what I'm doing tonight as he said he will take me out another time!

I am feeling pissed off about my childcare situation, basically my sister can have dd or dd's dad, but that equals to about once or twice a month for a sleepover maximum. I stopped my dd from staying at my mums as my mum has a partner and they were all sleeping in the same bed which I thought was not an ideal situation for my dd. So now I can't go out as often as I would like and it is a pain in the bum Hmm

So I'm not sure if I should just tell my brothers friend to just come over to mine once dd is in bed, but I would much rather go out. I could ask my sister to have dd, but I hats having to ask her favours Hmm

Scrazy · 16/02/2013 18:11

Moving, do you want to see him? If so then I would invite him over explaining that you would prefer to go out. How old is your DD? I used to get round this by getting boyfriends to come out for tea with us and if he had kids to bring them along then spend the rest of the evening together when DD went to bed.

Movingforward123 · 16/02/2013 18:17

I would like to see him, dd is 5 but I can't let her see him, as she knows he's my brothers friend and I havnt told my brother yet so it's all top secret at the moment!! Or else she will tell my brother he came over!

Scrazy · 16/02/2013 18:18

Can I ask if anyone has had counseling? I've never had it but I could do with someone to talk to. It's about the player ex, I am not getting over him at all, it's getting worse rather than better. I'm not a mess crying and all that and am OKish when distracted but I carn't get him out of my mind. It's been a long time since I've felt like this. Do I just need time?

Scrazy · 16/02/2013 18:20

Then you've no choice, invite him over and have a great night.

chuchiface · 16/02/2013 18:25

scrazy how long has it been?

I've had my first cancellation - do I get a star? sigh...

lubeybooby · 16/02/2013 18:28

Scrazy, are you completely no contact with him including no ggogling no facebook etc? If so then yes it's just time needed

Scrazy · 16/02/2013 18:30

Last time I saw him was just before Christmas so nearly 2 months. It wasn't even a relationship according to him.

Scrazy · 16/02/2013 18:31

Yes, Lubey, we never communicated online, he doesn't do that. So complete no contact.

Movingforward123 · 16/02/2013 18:32

How long has it been since you broke up? And how long were you together? My dds dad cheated on me alot and I have a lot of issues with men. I go to counselling but it brings up a lot of issues, I also have quite a crap family so discuss that alot which is apparently where all my issues came from originally. I think it's defiantly a good idea especially if you are feeling lonely! But it's important to get a counsellor that you feel comfortable with, I had an older lady before that I wouldn't tell much to. But the one I have is great and I tell her everything!

chuchiface · 16/02/2013 18:33

2 months is nothing really, I'd give it another couple and try to keep busy with other people.

ike1 · 16/02/2013 18:33

Isnt Nomore seeing The Model tonight?

grinchie · 16/02/2013 18:35

voice I'm in, on my own with a film. My choice. Ironman is on IM.

velvet I latterly went out with a previous (school) boyfriend - never again!

Ike The Kidd?

Scrazy · 16/02/2013 18:36

Moving, was seeing him for 2 years for the occasional date and catch up, then we got much closer for a year, but he was non committal and I fell for the bastard him in the year.

I should have planned to do something tonight, will try not to leave myself lonely again on a weekend, it's not good for me at all.

grinchie · 16/02/2013 18:37

Eddie Kidd?

Scrazy · 16/02/2013 18:39

Wonder where nomore is too, I thought she was rearranging for last night.

Movingforward123 · 16/02/2013 18:41

scrazy I think counselling is a good idea anyway! So might be worth looking into it!
