Jake, I think I'd go and meet him. There's a good chance there won't be any spark there when you actually meet, but if there is, you'll find a way round the logistics if the will is there on both sides.

velvet jackie collins hand hold (which involves a cocktail ring the size of a robins egg, so might be a bit uncomfortable>

KinNora · 21/03/2013 19:41

I were to be really, really honest Jake then the initial bald facts would put me off but as OWW says, why not meet him anyway ? If you don't feel there's anything there between you then you don't have to see him again, and if there is some promise you can just see how things pan out.

Lubey yes, WFF's list could be the Dating Thread Commandments Grin

Aw Mr Herbalist has just sent me a rose on POF...says he's thinking of me but not in a stalkerish kind of way. Both him and Bio guy seem really sweet...

JakeBullet · 21/03/2013 19:50

I think my feeling is that he sounds absolutely lovely, supportive, kind and caring from his emails. He has obviously loved and cared for his family and I feel I need to give him a chance.

If nothing else I feel we could be friends.

lubeybooby · 21/03/2013 19:51

KIn it's about time we started putting some collective wisdom into the OP of each thread maybe. That one definitely has to go in!

I could meet him this weekend but I just feel rubbish still sore throat, aches etc.

VelvetSpoon · 21/03/2013 19:52

Snape that really made me Grin.

It's on. Meeting him in an hour.

ike1 · 21/03/2013 19:53

Coolio Velv.

JakeBullet · 21/03/2013 19:53

The last time I went on POF I attracted a foot fetishist who wanted to know if I wriggled my toes as that really turned him on Hmm

This bloke seems normal by comparison.

lubeybooby · 21/03/2013 19:53

Jake I'd give it a chance but I'm funny like that. However tied to areas people are, things can change. Also like someone else said it is actually unlikely that there would be chemistry, so many first dates lack it even when everything else is great online, so be prepared for that having chatted to him for so long.

I had better go get my face on and dressed etc... off in about half an hour here. Have a good night all especially the lovely velvet!

ike1 · 21/03/2013 19:56

What's the chances that I could juggle them both??? You are managing to do that arent you Kin?

ike1 · 21/03/2013 19:57

Enjoy Lubes!!

OhWesternWind · 21/03/2013 19:57

Jake do it!

Ike do it!

Lubey you'll be doing it soon!

Velvet so much good luck to you. I am so hoping it all works out.

lubeybooby · 21/03/2013 19:59

:o OWW

Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast & desperate to get to my PC for a velvet update!

OP posts:
ike1 · 21/03/2013 20:00

I'd do it..... but I might have to cough up a glistening ball of phlegm first...

KinNora · 21/03/2013 20:01

Ike you could dose yourself up and meet him ( is Bio Man someone else then ? I really am hopelessly off the pace at the moment )

Velvet go, kick ass. Maybe you should adopt a Jackie Collins' heroine alter ego - Cashmere La Brief ? Quartz Santatort ?

Lubey absolutely, I think that's a great idea.

Someone take this bar of Ritter mint chocolate off me before I scoff the lot.

OhWesternWind · 21/03/2013 20:06

I'm someone's safety contact for a date tonight but she's not checked in as arranged, or answered my text, phone goes through to voicemail so I've left a message. Help, what should I do???

KinNora · 21/03/2013 20:08

And I missed Lubey's FWB date, have a marvellous time.

Ike both Messrs Software and Showbiz live some distance away from me and I've not met Showbiz yet so I'm not really juggling them. I like to think of them as a complimentary pair - Mr Software provides earnest, nerdy sweetness, Mr Biz is a very amusing, bon viveur with his own martini recipe and a suspected high heel fetish

I think you should deffo go for the pair of them, have some fun

KinNora · 21/03/2013 20:10

How long's it been OWW ? Sometimes if it's awkward to break off conversation and text, or answer the phone then I leave it a little while - I've been told off for it.

AndLibbyMakesThree · 21/03/2013 20:12

OWW, did you talk about what you'd do if you couldn't get hold of her?

OhWesternWind · 21/03/2013 20:12

Over an hour late ... She said she'd text when she arrived and when she left. Hoping she's just not heard her phone.

OhWesternWind · 21/03/2013 20:13

I asked her what she wanted me to do, but she didn't get back to me Going out myself now!
