Dating chat thread! Number 47

[lubeybooby]

Here we go again folks, all dating related chit chat here.

Western and Kin thank you. My mum was my best friend, and a truly lovely person. I never had a secret I couldn't tell her, or a problem she couldn't help me solve. Think I got upset as am a bit tired (ongoing lack of sleep/insomnia), and over-emotional (hoping the latter may be hormonal, bloody period is now almost 2 weeks late and still no sign ) last few days have been a bit of a rollercoaster both workwise and personally and this seems like the downturn from my previous euphoria...

Ok, so I won't be putting 'in a relationship' on my FB for the foreseeable, this is still very much just dating BUT I'm hopeful that if we keep seeing each other when we can, at some point C might feel less scared, and more ready. I might be making a huge mistake but I do think it's worth a try.

I don't think you're making a mistake at all Velvet. You've made huge strides forward by having that conversation last night, and I think that both of you being honest about your feelings can only be a good thing. The being scared about relationships is, I think, incredibly common in our age group when we have at least one failed significant relationship behind us, probably more, and it's only natural to worry about being hurt again. It's one of those things that can only be helped by just going for it, spending time together and learning to trust each other. You're off on the right track now and who knows what might happen now you've cleared some of the obstacles out of the way

What lovely things to be able to say about your mum Velvet, she sounds like a wonderful woman.

As for making a mistake about Cuthbert, all you can do is to try - its being brave and resilient and giving him a chance, it may just pay off.

Obviously OWW just did a far better job of saying exactly what I meant...

Velvet you need to go what you feel is right. I am a firm believer in this and you alone will decide what feels right for you. Hope it goes the way you want it to.

Velvet it's so lovely the way you talk about your Mum and the way she looked out for you. She sounds like a very special woman.

You like C, he likes you and you've talked about things now. I really hope it all works out somehow, you're giving it a go and and it might be slow but it should be all good.

She was amazing in so many ways Kin, my dad too. I am pretty ordinary compared to the two of them!

Thank you all for being so kind about C. I hope it's not a mistake but think well, if it is, I've made many much worse ones in the past. I do think it's worth a try.

And if it all goes pear shaped as it might well, the v senior manager at work is being increasingly twinkly and smiley towards me at the moment (though he is quite a bit older than me and I'd heard his personal life was somewhat 'complicated' so not sure I'd ever go there really!)

Anyway, that's quite enough about me! Is there anyone out on dates tonight or are we all at home with blankets, snacks and wine?

Well Rekorderlig,my capacious hoody and a duvet but yes. It's too freakin' cold !

Still coughing...feel like shit..fed up..meh

Got a spot on my arse as well..any more info needed?

I might have to have another look at the crap tats facebook page...cheer myself up..

I have blankets snacks and wine! I'm a bit sozzled again actually. hic

I'm hosting a sleepover for DD8 and DNiece7 .. They fell out over the hieroglyphic for s and both ended up in tears .. The joys!! And I've had the impression that my sister (DN's mum) has been looking to pick a fight for a few weeks (she falls out with us all every few years and its been a while this time) so hopefully there won't be something that sets her off!!

Wine is a necessity!!

Oh and I noticed that my date for Sunday let's call him MrFixit as he seems to like dismantling things only drinks 'rarely' .. Could be a deal breaker that one!!

Morning everyone.

Third date with buffy last night, we went out to some fantastic ruin pubs, drank lots of beer, chatted to her friends who've stopped off here for a weekend during a year traveling round the world.
Then we came back to mine. She's still asleep, I'm going to wake her up with bagels and tea in a minute.

Possibly the best sex I've ever had.

Wow Bant sounds like its all good down your way!

Snow snow snow, cold cold cold. Ds has gone out to build a snowman but I have wimped out. Dd is the most sensible one, still being in bed.

Lots to do today but I don't really feel like doing it. Maybe another cup of coffee will see me right.

Going to get in touch with LM soon and try to arrange something for tomorrow - also need to warn him to ignore any texts sent after 6 pm or so when drink will have been taken.

Hurrah for Bant and Buffy !

( we did tell you she was a good 'un when you were mithering about her glasses )

Dont think they stayed on for long las night though Kin, know what I mean, eh? eh?

Yeah, snowy here too OWW - pah.

Are you planning to meet up with LM's knobby mate and show her who's boss ?

Loadsa snow here too!

Bant :o excellent update, yay for third date, beer, Buffy and bagels and tea :o

Ike that actually made me laugh out loud.

On a very rare occasion when exh and I were making the beast with two backs on the sofa in the living room, I'd put my glasses down the coffee table and the bloody dog chewed them while we were at it probably traumatised

Whoo hoo Bant you old stud you! What are you going to put on her bagels (very important, this)? Really chuffed for you.

Don't think LM's friend is here this weekend, probably Easter, but as I totally failed to talk about anything even remotely serious last time, I don't know. Torn between leaving her be and zapping her to smithereens with my total all round stunning beauty, wit and charm. Or something. I've thought about this a bit more and she's not a threat, just an irritation as she takes up too much of his time. Will talk to LM soon about Easter plans and then we'll see.

Heh, heh Kin oh god being watched by pets while in flagrante delicto is strangely disturbing....perhaps he got a bit bored though Kin? Ex doesnt sound the most 'stimulating' of lovers...

That sounds like a very reasonable approach and no, she's not a threat, for a start LM loves you and she's a deluded little madam who can't hold a candle to you.
