you know when cats do that intent stare and butt wiggle just before they pounce on something... that's me that is. Or rather the text i just sent.

ordinarybloke · 27/02/2013 21:13

hello, another XYer here.

i have been enjoy reading your tales of OD. I had bee ODing for a little while without any success, so gave it up a year ago. But now started again-perhaps the power of the MN Dating threads might help make it more a suceess this time around????

anyway, was messaging with a nice woman for a couple of weeks. then met her last Sunday. and we had a thoroughly enjoyable 6 hours together (no - not that sort of activity - I am a bit of a gentleman).

will have to wait until Friday of next week for our next date as I have DS coming weekend. but we are going to a nice sea-side restaurant and I will try to book a table for just after the sunset so we can enjoy that before we eat.

so to all the people that are feeling low - big hugs and to the luvved-up people - enjoy yourselves.

VelvetSpoon · 27/02/2013 21:13

Lubey Grin you have to let us know as soon as he replies!

I am ill in bed, and have no-one to pounce on, I need all the vicarious excitement I can get!

lubeybooby · 27/02/2013 21:14

Hello bloke, good luck for your date two, sounds lovely :)

ike1 · 27/02/2013 21:16

check this guy out nutsforlove1234.......then look at his age

lubeybooby · 27/02/2013 21:17

Velvet, he is really shit at replying quickly... hope he changes that habit... gah...! But yes i will let you know.

I have been terrible on PoF today. I have many possibles, plus a lunch date Friday and another one Saturday Blush

I don't know if I will attend both.. may get cold feet especially if Mr iPhone handles my pouncing well. Friday is the carpenter, Saturday a posh boy...

OhWesternWind · 27/02/2013 21:19

Hello Bloke - sounds very promising so far. Hope it all goes well next week. Watching the sun setting is very romantic . . . Does she have children too?

KirstyWirsty · 27/02/2013 21:19

Thanks to you all for the advice .. I think he is worth the hassle and have told him .. Seeing him on Sunday (after my girls' weekend in Brighton)and we can see how it goes

snape we all know you are sexy

48 have a great time

lubey icy first and let him melt you?

OWW hope you feel better now and the day off will do you good

Scrazy · 27/02/2013 21:20

I checked him out Ike, he looks good for his age but not impossible that he is 49.

Scrazy · 27/02/2013 21:23

I was asked to have a skype chat with a guy who is 11 years younger than me but we've been chatting a little. I told him my skype wasn't good, which is true but the truth is I am far too shy. Hate how I look on it, and hate my voice!!!

How I could brave another blind date if I carn't even go on skype I don't know.

ike1 · 27/02/2013 21:24

crikey...I have NEVER seen a bloke of nearly 50 look as good as that EVER. FACT.

VoiceofUnreason · 27/02/2013 21:24

ike - I have a hard job believing his is 49, and that's coming from someone who is regularly guessed at being around 6 years younger than I am and my dad often being guessed at being upto 10 years younger than he is. I'd be more concerned that he seems to think his hair is black...

Scrazy · 27/02/2013 21:26

I missed that voice, probably a photo of a model, the creep!

ike1 · 27/02/2013 21:27

Ah ok....nice work voice!

Scrazy · 27/02/2013 21:28

So what to do about my lack of confidence???

Voice are you on POF, can we pm usernames?

VelvetSpoon · 27/02/2013 21:28

he's a fake - google image search him, it comes up with someone called Parker Hurley...

ike1 · 27/02/2013 21:28

I reckoned so too...just ...i mean C'MON!

ike1 · 27/02/2013 21:29

Great ....thanks Velv....

JulietteMontague · 27/02/2013 21:29

Snape you sexy thing Grin

Welcome Bloke, it feels wrong calling you 'bloke' but clearly that will not stop us

western I did look for your other thread but couldn't find it, good for LM.

There is a man on Okc who I FANCY. I've fancied him for months but he's never taken the bait of me checking him out and now he's just favourited me after I put up a new photo. This has never happened before. Trouble is, he's put that even slight overweight is a deal breakerHmm I am, and shrinking but that's not the point. Who wants to live up to those standards, bugger.

Snapespeare · 27/02/2013 21:29

I'm going to ask for a roll-call on Friday. I need some big-ups.

How can I be nervous when I've already shagged him?!

VelvetSpoon · 27/02/2013 21:30

I didn't spot the hair thing, good call Voice!

VoiceofUnreason · 27/02/2013 21:30

Oh come on, ladies, when there is SO little on that profile, you really didn't read what few words there were?? You should have been dubious from the fact there were just three very similar photos to begin with and not one of him that weren't so obviously posed and not actually doing something - especially as you're not supposed to put bare-chested shots on POF.

ike1 · 27/02/2013 21:30

....and he is actually 26! lol

ike1 · 27/02/2013 21:32

48howdidthathappen · 27/02/2013 21:32
