Mr Nice's plane appears to have landed according to this tracking app. This is a good thing :)

He is now thousands of miles away which is less good.

Snape your post made me go Grin

JulietteMontague · 11/03/2013 23:08

Miranda where in California is he going to be?

OP posts:
MirandaWest · 11/03/2013 23:14

They're in Los Angeles and will be coming back from San Francisco in two weeks time. Think they will be going a bit north of there too. Will be driving along some good coastal roads :)

as far as I know if you block someone whatsapp, they don't get a message or anything, it just doesnt update the when you were last online thing, so it looks like you just havent been on there/read their message. I think thats how it works...!

JulietteMontague · 11/03/2013 23:50

Moving I've been on those coastal roads north of SF and they are spectacular. I had no idea northern California was so empty, I had underestimated what wild camping meant in the US Blush.

Right I blocked him and a few other freaks lol

A1980 · 12/03/2013 00:32

I had a really bad date on Saturday.

I am meant to have another on Wednesday...really can't be bothered as the guy has done it by text message suggesting a pub or bar or whatever...

Don't force yourself to make an effort!
I don't think I'll go

Bant · 12/03/2013 01:13

Late update from meeting Buffy. She's pretty great. Ridiculously left wing, used to work with Obama, seems somewhat rudderless in life so is moving back to the US in a couple of months. Wears big glasses with a chain which makes her look rather schoolmarmy, but without them, pretty damn stunning. Loves dr who etc but thought The West Wing got a bit right-wing in the last 3 seasons, which is just odd.

We may have kissed a bit. Home (alone) now though.

Budapest is pretty fantastic.

Bant · 12/03/2013 01:16

Hello 1980

What happened on Saturday?

Dont go to a date if you don't feel ok about it

Snapespeare · 12/03/2013 06:40

buffy is my favourite. us speccy, lefty time lord types tend to stick together... Grin

VelvetSpoon · 12/03/2013 08:09

Managed a grand total of 2.5 hours sleep last night. Including my earlier nap. Feel like absolute crap, and not at all fit to be going to work and reviewing the stuff I'm meant to be working on. God knows how much coffee I will need to get through today.

Also have a text to C to reply to, and could do without lack of sleep paranoia making me read things into his text that probably aren't there.

A1980 · 12/03/2013 08:09

Hi Bant

didn't feel any attraction whatsoever. He had made no effort to arrange much leading up to it.

No attraction whatsoever, no chemistry and he was boring!!!

He didn't like anything....school, uni, films I mentioned, etc etc.

Glad to get rid

although its via a dating website some effort is in order surely? One text to ask me out and suggest a pub/ bar ir whatever.....

VelvetSpoon · 12/03/2013 08:09

Sorry, that was a bit poor me, but in view of the limited sleep I hope I will be excused!

Movingforward123 · 12/03/2013 08:13

I have something odd to report!

Not sure if anyone remembers my sisters next door neighbour! Was meant to go out a few times but he cancelled a few times and so did I. We were last meant to go out in December then he announced shortly after on Facebook he was in a relationship.

Anyway yesterday I had a whatsapp message and before i clicked into it on my iPhone it displayed a girls name, (which also happened to be the name of a friend of mine) but when I went into the message couldn't see the girls name.

The messaged said how are you x

I asked who was it and they said they were the next door neighbour guy. But now I'm thinking it's his new girlfriend! As the girls name that appeared on the phone was his girlfriend!

Anyway in the messages I asked how were things with his new gf as they seemed very loved up on fb And he said that's more her then me, and things arnt as they seem! We were Chatting for a while and i said if he wanted he could come out for a drink as friends!

Anyway I am now thinking its her and not him, I've got a strange feeling about this!

lubeytoobooby · 12/03/2013 08:29

Velvet what did the text say? Roughly?

I know the feeling with no sleep btw, my bed and pillows last night were really uncomfy and I tossed and turned and woke up several time... and now have a frozen shoulder/neck... urgh. Coffee coffee coffee thank feck there is a ready and strong supply here.

I am on the train home... beautiful day to eat breakfast in the warmth of a train watching the gorgeous north coast go by. Lovely. Very happy, I had an ace time. And more scottish action to come with the funny one (he can be TFO) who is booked in to come visit this weekend.

Snapespeare · 12/03/2013 08:29

either way, i'd leave well alone... either gf trying to hunt him down, which will get messy, or him being a twat... oh my gf doesnt understaaaand me, let's go for a drink, it's 'just as friends' Hmm

i'd kick that to the curb pretty damn sharpish..

velv poor lamb. hope you get a good sleep soon.

ike1 · 12/03/2013 08:34

Ditto Snape...Moving, same oly script blah blah....yawn yeah sure! Really please you had a great time Lubes its a tonic you deserve! Velv...I hope the day gets better lovely and wish you could have a duvet day...

Flipper924 · 12/03/2013 08:39

Maybe he's just using her phone, Moving? Though I guess that's a bit risky, given what he's told you. Why don't you just ask?

Hope you're feeling better soon. Velvet. Plain food today, and plenty of clear fluids. But C has text? Hurrah!

Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin @Snape. And Envy.

So what are you going to do, Bant? This is the first date you've been enthusiastic about in a while, but she's going back to the US?

I am also hoping to be superskinny soon, after taking dog for a 7 mile walk yesterday. When I am thin and beautiful, men will love me....tra laa la...

Today, I have to collect a parcel from the PO, and find out how to fix my shed roof after the felt blew off yesterday. I have a feeling this may not be a one woman job.

Movingforward123 · 12/03/2013 08:47

Yes I agree not worth the hassle, I don't want to be involved in someone else's crap relationship I have enough of my own!

VelvetSpoon · 12/03/2013 09:01

I text him last night (having realised I hadn't actually replied to his last text, I drafted a reply on fri but never sent it!) And he text me back within a few hours - which for him is an immediate response. I am a bit :( cos he can't see me on friday. But its because he has his son, not like he's out on the town or anything. The paranoia bit is because he didn't suggest an alternative. But he never does, so this shouldn't (or wouldn't with more sleep) worry me.

I just need to calm down a bit. Work is not helping.
