In comparison Mr Marine Eco/Bio is confusing me with his concern that I might think he is being rude/ignoring me if he does not reply immediately. What is this? Politeness? Or a red flag......? What are his alterior motives I wonder? (cynical, moi?)

Velv...its bloody confusing that's for sure...let's see if he can sustain in first then I'll get out my best bottle of Pinot for a toast...hoping the best fot you though..

ike1 · 21/03/2013 09:46

sustain IT.

ike1 · 21/03/2013 09:47

....oh and he can speak latin (translated one of the film titles, that I went to see)

lubeybooby · 21/03/2013 09:49

OWW you should definitely come before the little friend. So yes! be demanding! If you don't ask, the answers will always be a no, because the others have got in first with requests for time.

Fuck being understanding when it means you are suffering and waiting around and questioning things as a result. Nip it in the bud.

ike1 · 21/03/2013 09:52

OWW, when pushed I can do MAJOR diva strops ....but I really dont like doing it and dont feel good after. I suppose I can see both sides...he is having his work cut out at the mo but its Easter and a good time to have fun together.......I'd probably wait a bit and then have a chat...let's see what the others think too.

ike1 · 21/03/2013 09:53

Oh there you go ...Lubes is going for the Diva option...

lubeybooby · 21/03/2013 09:59

Definitely... why should OWW, as a serious girlfriend and who he supposedly loves, be coming second to piddly annoying friend?

No need to have a strop as such but definitely talk about it...

OP posts:

ike1 · 21/03/2013 10:03

Yep...happy to second that...

Bant · 21/03/2013 10:08

Sorry for the lack of loo update from last night. I was kind of distracted.

Excerpt from last nights second date conversation with buffy..
Me: so I haven't learned to cook Hungarian food yet but if you'd like to come over at the weekend I can practice my spag bol?

Buffy: that sounds nice. Or, to be honest, we could just go back to yours now and see if the sex is good. I think it will be, don't you?

Me:... Erm. Okay. (to waiter) Check please!

(it was)

ike1 · 21/03/2013 10:11

Well, well...a forthright lady indeed, Bant...you lucky fellow! Brains n Bonkin....good combo......

lulubellaboozle · 21/03/2013 10:14

OWW definitely need to have the conversation and come first in front of his "little friend" funny how you can really despise someone you've never even met!. Sometimes there never is a "good" time to talk, it just needs to be done and you have been very patient.

Bant get you eh? bet you've never paid a bill so quickly!!

lubeybooby · 21/03/2013 10:22

Hahaa Bant :o I LOVE her style, nice one

OP posts:

Movingforward123 · 21/03/2013 11:27

Oh crap was just speaking with my brother about something and he told me his friend has got a girlfriend, and has been going out with her for quite a while. What a little shit!!!!

ike1 · 21/03/2013 11:36

....well there you go Moving ....bullet dodged! Little shit indeed!

Bant · 21/03/2013 11:45

Right. I dropped MedStudent. Told her I'd met someone else and was seeing how it worked out, and couldn't see more than one person at the same time as they were both worth more than that. Feel like a cad as she was very into me, but ..

Moving - what a little tosser. Are you going to mention it to your brother?

ike1 · 21/03/2013 12:08

Had to be done Bant, had to be done.....it was only 2 dates in anyway.

lubeybooby · 21/03/2013 12:25

Bant, yep what ike said.

Moving, also what ike said! Bullet sooo dodged.

JulietteMontague · 21/03/2013 12:29

bant now that is a woman

OhWesternWind · 21/03/2013 12:39

Bant yay for Buffy! She rocks. And you've done the right thing with the Med Student - all is looking good in Bant World.

Moving slimy toe rag. You're best out of it. Anything more from your ex?

Velvet - have you heard from C today? Very mixed signals, don't know what to make of it at all, really.

I'm going to see how things are tonight with LM, will talk about Easter plans and hope we've just had a bit of a glitch with all the shop stuff. It's been very stressful but things should be calming down soon and he needs to give me some more of his time. I hope he does this off his own bat but if not I'll talk to him and ask. Am also going to ask him if his fingers have dropped off as that's the only reason I can see for zero texting . . . but lots of actual phoning. Weird. I am having a horrendous time with my mum at the moment so I am aware that this may be responsible for feelings of doom with regard to LM.

JulietteMontague · 21/03/2013 12:40

Moving that's very poor, what a shit

OWW so, he's used to demanding women? Give him what works then.

Velvet any date finally or not? What Snape said.

lubeybooby · 21/03/2013 12:53

Arse. Haven't been able to sort out the meeting I wanted that needs to happen up near BC as easily as I thought.

I'm going to have to invite him down here instead of 'just happening to be nearby'

Really don't have much available time (namely with my DD away) to invite him down though... hmmm. This is going to take a lot of clever jiggerypokery.

OP posts:

OhWesternWind · 21/03/2013 13:55

Aw fuck it, I know I'm worrying about LM because of other shite going on. I'm going to go out tonight and have a good time with him. Which I always do, I love spending time with him.

OWW is this the right time to [hsmm], or am I too late, or wrong time? I need some clarification...

(Relax, deal with the 'friend' however you see fit, and try not to fret, he is yours, okay? He is)

WarmFuzzyFun · 21/03/2013 14:14

not [hsmm]

OhWesternWind · 21/03/2013 14:26

Yep, WFF, could be quite a good point to at me . . .

Will channel my inner diva - or maybe not. I'm not particularly divaesque and I always end up feeling a bit embarrassed if I do have a bit of a moment. Prefer talking and a bit of humour/sarcasm so will try that first. If that doesn't work, then watch out LM!!

I think my mum is having a bit of a mental health crisis, very bizarre and disturbing behaviour. Won't post about it any more on here but it is causing me a lot of worry especially as she looks after my children after school.

Lubey hope you can sort out the logisitics!
