Oh my god you are scaring me WFF ...do the guys on IE know what is about to hit them??????

ike1 · 24/03/2013 23:09

I really hope I fancy Mr Herbalist ...I fear I am breaking one of the 'rules' and getting attached before meeting..sigh...I know I'll get shit faced beforehand (no Ike...ok Ike)

lubeybooby · 24/03/2013 23:13

I have refrained from dating sites and instead finally asked BC if we can sort a date to meet and not be permitted to leave my bed catch up

Grin I try and reign myself in a little Ike.

If you drink loads beforehand you may have your own 'IE' with Mr Herbalist, if you are not careful

I have a 2nd date next Sunday in a really nice well known Glasgow restaurant next week .. Maybe I'll fancy MrFixit after a glass of red?

Ok Cupid is vvv slow .. I've only replied to a couple of messages and not really had that many .. Only got MrFixit on the go .. May go back to POF if nothing comes of it

ike1 · 24/03/2013 23:21

How many of you drive on the first meeting or let the devil take it and have a drink n catch a taxi home?

VelvetSpoon · 24/03/2013 23:25

Kirsty I never got anywhere with OKC, barely any messages, most not worth replying to and the rest petered out after 2 or 3 replies, never got anywhere near a date!

Ike, I don't drive so it's always walking or bus for me (or taxi if I'm feeling flush!)

WarmFuzzyFun · 24/03/2013 23:26

I always drive. A taxi in my neck of the woods would be a king's ransom.

I drink a soda water with ice and lemon, and if my flesh does not creep, it's a good start.

JulietteMontague · 24/03/2013 23:29

Ike I usually drive if it's local, or take the train but then I don't drink much. When is your date?

ike1 · 24/03/2013 23:34

Well thinking next Sat ..he kindly offered to pay for tickets to see a comedian I was talking about (while admitting it was all new to him so did not want to rush me) but I said no because I like to keep the first meet neutral.

ike1 · 24/03/2013 23:36

Sometimes it is nice to have more than just the one basic glass of wine but a taxi home would be £20. Trains are a bit hit and miss and then a walk up a lonely stretch of road...

KirstyWirsty · 24/03/2013 23:37

I drove today .. I actually picked him up from the station and ran him to where he had originally suggested meeting as his car had broken down .. After I'd suggested this I then realised that he could be like the guy I only lasted 10 mins with Hmm ( remember he wanted me to give him a twirl so he could have a look at me ???)

luckily we got on really well and had a coffee and a wander round the garden centre .. Only red flag is he has mentioned he is careful with money .. But paid for coffee (and offered a cake) and has picked a place that isn't cheap for next week ( I will go Dutch ) .. We'll see

ike1 · 24/03/2013 23:37

I would deffo get a taxi and let my hair down a bit for a second date though..

ike1 · 24/03/2013 23:39

Oh no! Kirsty!! Not a giz a twirler????

ike1 · 24/03/2013 23:42

Maybe we should have a daytime date then....

ike1 · 24/03/2013 23:43

Yes!! A daytime date with wine and then train home!!

Movingforward123 · 24/03/2013 23:47

Kin - please poo in his shop Wink looool

Movingforward123 · 24/03/2013 23:52

Well after my argument with my brother yesterday I'm still feeling down! Exp came over today to help dd with a project, he got on my nerves and I went nuts and started shouting and throwing things around! Which I don't normally do! I apologised after, but after chatting with a friend tonight, I realised that he doesn't respect my boundaries atall! He pushes himself into my space all the time. And now that I'm more self aware I am starting to realise this!

And unfortunately he is the only person that is interested in me right now!! Hmm how crap is that

OhWesternWind · 25/03/2013 07:24

Good morning all you lovely people!

Not feeling too bad, a bit sad and low when I think about the good times we had especially the amazing sex. But most of all I'm shocked at his cowardly behaviour yesterday. What sort of person does that?

Really want to tell him how I feel (but I won't, no point).

Really, really, really want someone to poo in his shop.

lubeybooby · 25/03/2013 08:01

OWW, did you know that you are completely amazing? Just in case you didn't, you are. :) I hope someone nearby has a poo in his shop

You're right about there being no point. It would just make things messy and more painful. The no contact wagon is amazing

I have to get out of bed. It is warm in bed. It is not warm out of bed.

KinNora · 25/03/2013 08:08

Morning everyone, have an excellent day, OWW thinking of you - remember - fuck 'im, the giant whingeing tosspot.

KinNora · 25/03/2013 08:10

Perhaps we should band together and do a mass poo, a bit like that mass trespass on Kinder Scout or wherever it was. Imagine the local news coverage ...

lubeybooby · 25/03/2013 08:17

BC and I have arranged a date. In....... JUNE! Haha. That's what we get for being busy people I suppose. He's available now but I'm not. When I am, he's working away. Oh well it's better than nowt... I like having fave sex evahhhhh to look forward to...

OP posts:
OhWesternWind · 25/03/2013 08:50

Right, in the spirit of onwards and upwards (I hope!) I now have . . .

Mr Veggie who I think could be very nice - wants to take me out for a drink
Mr Two Stoves who could also be a possibility and is very keen to meet up
Mr IT who is a bit hard work but okay so far, not very funny
Mr Flat Shoes who is a bit full-on and intense but possible
Mr Fast Show who has a nice profile, messaging is very chaotic and hard to understand, but wants to take me out for cheesy peas - probably not
A random one who has just appeared this morning and I've not had chance to look at

So, maybe a couple of nights out over Easter . . . Grin
