Kin s'right I haven't yet managed to hit 57 which is why I'm asking, trying to work out if I'm missing a trick here and there's a secret place where they have found eyebrow grooming.

48howdidthathappen · 22/03/2013 10:15

Velvet Happy that you are happy Smile

Kin I think we can call be prone to over thinking text frequency. Bloody mobiles are a ball and chain. I tend to think 'fuck em' Grin

ike and Juliette hope at least one of yours turns out good shaggable

Nothing from Mr OZ. Maybe Jet lag Mr R&R has upped his texting, so not as cool as he claims.

48howdidthathappen · 22/03/2013 10:18

Have a great weekend WFF Envy

ScumbagCollegeDropout · 22/03/2013 10:19

Hi all!

Probably don't remember me but I posted a couple of times about 20 threads ago.

So anyway, I have actually started a relationship with the bloke I first met off of ID. I met him for drinks and then kinda drew back contact as he (at the time) reminded me of an old friend of mine whowas a fuckwit.

But. I whilst a bit tipsy just after new year I replied to a nice 'Hi how are you?' message on FB with my phone number (as I have moved away from FB).

Well, my initial impression was way, way off and he is so funny, ridiculously smart and really sweet. We have so many 'Me too!' conversations. Very similar sense of humour, which is a big plus for a weirdo like me Smile

We just hit it off whilst texting for a while. Met up again nearly 2 months ago and haven't looked back. I guess we are at a similar stage as Snape and Nameless (so awesome for you Snape BTW). He makes me grin like a loon.

Here's the thing though. Is it okay to wantto keep him to myself? As in not want to introduce the children for a long, long time. Same with living together (if it comes to that). I am enjoying my own space far too much. I really can't see me living with anyone for quite a few years yet.

I know it's early days. But can't help thinking about this stuff Blush

Bant Buffy is awesome!

JulietteMontague · 22/03/2013 10:25

48 Mr R&R bless, I wouldn't be cool either but at least he is putting up a good show Grin

Yes, I'm well overdue for a good seeing to.

ike1 · 22/03/2013 10:42

Yeah 48 I think you will find that is called cock blocking heh heh...

Bant · 22/03/2013 10:59

Hi Scumbag ( I love starting off a post like that :)

me and my ex agreed a rule that we wouldn't introduce the DC to anyone new until we'd been seeing them for at least 6 months, but it's horses for courses. I don't think it's selfish at all to not want to introduce him to them, it's nice to have a grown up relationship all to yourself without having to fit it round a ready-made family. That said, if they knew he existed it might make it easier to see him if you'd be okay with him staying over at yours when the DC are there.

Introducing him to the DC and having him move in are very different things.

and thanks for the Buffy comment. Although she hasn't mailed since yesterday morning, and we're potentially supposed to meet up tonight.. humph.

48howdidthathappen · 22/03/2013 11:13

I am loving cock blocking Ike Grin

MirandaWest · 22/03/2013 11:16

I didn't introduce Mr Nice to the DC until after we'd been seeing each other 6 months. Had told the DC about his existence before then. I think it depends on how old the DC are a bit but definitely nothing the matter with waiting for a while. Have been going out with Mr Nice 11 months now Shock and the DC have met him a number of times but he's never stayed the night when they're here. Living together is something on a distant agenda in our case - hope it will happen one day tbh but I'm not in a desperate hurry.

OhWesternWind · 22/03/2013 11:19

Juliette looks like it's all happening for you now on the dating front. How crap though that it looks like people are so hung up on age.

Velvet well I am glad you've had a talk with him. Like other people have said, many of us are scared/wary about going into another relationship and I think it becomes more difficult as we get older. If he's saying he's going to see more of you, then that is fine - there's nothing wrong with being scared and trying to overcome that. I've been there (am still there a bit), so is LM. I think it's really very common.

Kin of course someone will love you, want you, shag you and more!! You are brilliant and any man would be lucky to have you.

WFF hope you have a wonderful weekend. Just pack everything!

Bant all the Buffy stuff is great. Long may it continue.

Scumbag it's really early days yet, plenty of time to think about children/moving in in the future. My children knew I had a boyfriend for a couple of months before they actually met him, made things a bit easier. I have no idea if I'll ever want to live with anyone ever again, but that's something I can think about if and when the opportunity ever comes up. Just go with it and enjoy it - it sounds wonderful.

Talking of wonderful, am totally loved up with LM. Have done no serious talking at all, too busy with other stuff. I have absolutely no idea what it is about him but blooming heck he does something great to me. I probably get on better with him than anyone I can think of. Got it bad, arse. Hoping we can see each other on Sunday. Fingers crossed . . .

MirandaWest · 22/03/2013 11:26

OWW am glad you had a good night WinkGrin

48howdidthathappen · 22/03/2013 12:00

OWW Loved up is the best feeling Smile

I am seeing Mr R&R Monday. We both have a busy weekend. I am chaffing at the bit. 10 days is hard!

KirstyWirsty · 22/03/2013 12:33

so what happened with Mr Oz 48?

I am getting zero interest on ok cupid .. apart from the one guy who I am meeting on Sunday .. is it my age? (I was honest about mine)

KirstyWirsty · 22/03/2013 12:36

oops - missed your update 48 .. I know now ...

48howdidthathappen · 22/03/2013 12:39

Nothing as yet Kirsty Strange as he approached my sister, she didn't recognise him. Oh well.

I was honest about my age too, when ODing.

JulietteMontague · 22/03/2013 12:40

I haven't had a date for over a month Hmm. They've all been a bit slow, being Guardian men an'al.
Ooh, that looks wrong but possibly correct.

Talking to a couple of others, does anyone else get bored with mailing?

JulietteMontague · 22/03/2013 12:48

Kirsty Okc is very different from pod, far fewer chancers or one liners, most are genuinely interested and send a proper reply. Not found any married either or hidden perves as the kinky stuff is usually already on the profiles.

mercury7 · 22/03/2013 12:56

Juliette, yes I find all the 'chatting' via e-mail and messaging as boring as hell, I have no appetite for engaging with any of the men on dating sites unless I'm pretty sure I'll fancy them if I meet them.

Thats why I suggest skype pretty early on...even that can be tiresome...I almost always find the conversation hard work
