Yeah I had a quick nose ...6th summer single, single parent, same problems with blokes that fuck n run ..

lubeybooby · 19/03/2013 22:15

Oh Stella that all sounds quite confusing for you! dating really does suck sometimes. I have no answer I'm afraid other than you've done nothing wrong or to put him off so don't worry about things like the 24 hrs between texts. Maybe he's just generally hard work!

Yeah Stel....that all sounds like familiar territory to me...unfortunately...

StellaBrillante · 19/03/2013 22:17

thank you both x
how so ike?
it's becoming a bit of a joke, really. I can't even get a bloody kiss now! Shock

ike1 · 19/03/2013 22:22

Oh you know the charging up on a horse...the wooing and just as you are getting used to the idea...falling away. Not sure what was going on with the kiss thing though...

StellaBrillante · 19/03/2013 22:22

To be fair, both times we went out I know that he had to rush home to get ready in record time and then drive over to meet me. Plus he suggested us going to the theatre in a couple of weeks and mentioned at the cinema that he had booked us front row seats, and other things too like when he first asked if he could buy me a coffee he did so in front of one of his colleagues. I don't think he's a player but...?

JulietteMontague · 19/03/2013 22:27

Stella he may not be a true player but he is a lecturer which gives him enhanced player points for every move he makes. It's not worth thinking about his motives, but it would be nice to know if you are going out on Good Friday.

StellaBrillante · 19/03/2013 22:28

I see what you mean...when he texted to change tonight's plan, his wording hadn't changed at all and he did give me a full breakdown of his week as we were trying to work out a good day for both of us. I will just have to stop thinking about it...
The kiss thing was really odd, plus the text message that followed. I can only think that I unintentionally did something that got misinterpreted somehow. Oh well... I am going to start looking into joining a convent in the Italian countryside. Grin

Shit, shit, shit - sorry to just barge in but I have arranged a date (first ever!!!) with a guy from POF on Friday, we've been chatting and he is so funny and lovely and can spell!!! I was actually a bit put off by his pictures because they are a bit poserish, all angles and brooding eyes etc.. but he's soooo funny!! Anyone care to look at his profile and check for red flags?? Juliette??? :)

JulietteMontague · 19/03/2013 22:30

Stella I'm sure you did nothing. Just because we can over think sometimes, it doesn't mean the object of our thoughts is doing the same thing.

JulietteMontague · 19/03/2013 22:31

Yep, hand him over by PM

StellaBrillante · 19/03/2013 22:31

Hi Julie what do you mean by enhanced player points? Not just Good Friday but 3rd April too which is the theatre date (and it'd involve organising for another parent to take ds to training in the evening).

fedthefup · 19/03/2013 22:31

BTW - i'm still catching up on Dating thread 45 and didn't think i'd be joining you so soon! Blush

lubeybooby · 19/03/2013 22:32

Go for it fedthefup

fedthefup · 19/03/2013 22:34

Thank Juliette, messaged you :)

fedthefup · 19/03/2013 22:37

Yikes - I may be posting from a toilet Friday night - I've been lurking and only dipped my toes in on POF but this guy is just so attentive and funny, yikes!!! The first one can't be mr right can he?? If anyone else wants a nose just PM me - I wasn't impressed by his pictures tbh, he looks way to posed and brooding looks but the chats we have are so lovely and natural it's really weird?!? :)

JulietteMontague · 19/03/2013 22:43

Stella just for being a lecturer as they have a reputation for being players in one way or another so could attract a bit more suspicion. He hasn't actually done anything though, and does sound perfectly normal Grin

OhWesternWind · 19/03/2013 22:44

Sounds good Fed but try not to get too excited/invested before you meet up as the reality can often be a bit different and however well you get on by text it doesn't always translate into real life. But sometimes it does and I hope it's that way for you. You have to do a loo update!

StellaBrillante · 19/03/2013 22:47

Ok, thank you. I will stop thinking and 'che sera sera'... It shouldn't be hard work...or confusing?!?! Hmm
Happy dates & a good week to all! Smile Smile

StellaBrillante · 19/03/2013 22:48

Oh and good luck with Friday Fed!

fedthefup · 19/03/2013 22:54

Thanks guys, i'm wasn't really looking for full time tbh after my arse of an ex - I haven't even started reading this bloody thread yet and it's nearly full!! Bant could be married by now for all I know! ;-)

Snapespeare · 19/03/2013 22:55

voice I hope things sort themselves out with you. You know where we are.

fed and.... Breathe! Try to have low expectations, because then anything else is a delightful thing.

lubeybooby · 19/03/2013 22:56

Good idea snape, I'll re-stock the room with gin, rum, mixers, tea, coffee and biscuits too. Can't be too careful.
