Aww I just called told I'm pretty by a very polite boy man of 22. I don't think anyone has called me pretty that I can remember before, other nice things obvs but not pretty. I don't have 'pretty' features which I think of as being delicate. Regardless, I'll take it.

Am feeling increasingly disappointed in my potential POF date - I found myself yawning when on the phone to him, in texts he writes "wiv" instead of with for some reason, and when telling me about a cold he has, keeps talking about having the shivers, and "being in a bad way" - although has been well enough to go to work.... and I suspect he doesn't have a sense of humour either.

Am very envious of potentional best sex evahhh even if it is 2 weeks away... are you sure you can't still invite BC to yours before that Lubey?

Well, he didn't come today.

Feel so let down.

Feel like chucking the whole thing in.

ChooChooLaverne · 28/02/2013 21:41

OWW - what happened? Have you heard from him?

splishsplosh · 28/02/2013 21:42

Did he give any reason for not coming? Am sorry - you must feel very let down when you're feeling so low

OhWesternWind · 28/02/2013 21:45

He phoned at lunchtime to say it would be later in the afternoon, then nothing.

So I texted him, asked what was going on. Apparently there has been all sorts of trouble today with the landlord for his shop and bailiffs have been round, he's had to pay out five grand to them, all as clear as mud. So he has gone home and got pissed.

ChooChooLaverne · 28/02/2013 21:49

Sounds like a bit of a disaster. Do you think he will be round to see you tomorrow full of apologies?

OhWesternWind · 28/02/2013 21:50

No.

KinNora · 28/02/2013 21:51

I'm sorry, OWW, are you ok ?

OhWesternWind · 28/02/2013 21:52

No to that one as well.

ChooChooLaverne · 28/02/2013 21:52

Oh, I'm sorry OWW - it sounded like things were going really well for you two. Are you ok?

ChooChooLaverne · 28/02/2013 21:54

Sorry, x-posted.

OhWesternWind · 28/02/2013 21:55

Won't answer his fucking phone either.

KinNora · 28/02/2013 21:56

Did he know how bad you've been feeling and how much you wanted him to come round today ?

OhWesternWind · 28/02/2013 21:56

Yes he did.

OhWesternWind · 28/02/2013 21:57

He said he'd come today and tomorrow and Sunday seeing as I was feeling so low.

KinNora · 28/02/2013 21:57

Right well he's not answering his phone because he's fallen asleep, or he's so pissed he can't find it or because he's knows he's cocked up

Flipper924 · 28/02/2013 21:58

(((hugs))) OWW. So sorry that you're feeling let down.

OhWesternWind · 28/02/2013 22:00

He knows he's cocked up.

He's posting on FB so not asleep or incapable of using technology.

lubeybooby · 28/02/2013 22:02

OWW :( what a let down.

I would have a talk to him and say in that case when he's had a shit day too you can be with each other for mutual support instead of withdrawing, especially when you need him and have asked for him to be there, and have arranged it.

How silly of him not to come to you for a hug and mutual blether about lifes shite.

KinNora · 28/02/2013 22:03

What kind of thing is he posting on Facebook ? ( that sounds like a bit of a stupid thing for him to be doing, by the way )

ike1 · 28/02/2013 22:03

It sounds like he is having a shite time OWW....probs knew he wouldnt be much use to you...

KinNora · 28/02/2013 22:04

And yes, what Lubey said, I was struggling for a way to write something very similar but I kept sounding as though I was excusing him, and I'm really not.

ike1 · 28/02/2013 22:05

I can be a bit like that.....would withdraw and get drunk on my own....its a kind of self punishment really.

ChooChooLaverne · 28/02/2013 22:06

I agree with Lubey too. Hopefully you can get past this.
