woop! well done Miranda!

Here be the dating commandments as posted by the lovely WFF

  1. Develop a thick skin;
  2. Do not invest emotionally too soon;
  3. It's all BS until it actually happens;
  4. Trust your gut instinct;
  5. If it is not fun, stop.

...and referring back to the other thread... yes. My libido. For goodness sake I wish it would give me a rest tbh, but no... no chance! :o

I have a first date on Thursday, I need advice, I am not sure how it is going to go. We have been chatting for a week and have lots of things in common, especially more unusual aspects of our lifestyles, so its going to be really nice to meet and chat on that basis alone. But he has said in some of his OKcupid questions that he is turned off by overweight people and im overweight. I have told him this and have sent a picture and he has said I Look lovely.
Its making me a little unsure if I should actually go or not.

Morning .. Marking my spot ..

Got a 2nd date (dinner) on Sunday with MrFixit .. Not sure I fancy him .. i will decide after Sunday .. He had sent me a ranting email about a committee he volunteers for (red flag?) and then finished off with 'but I'm really looking forward to Sunday ..

There is hee haw else on okcupid .. I think I'll need to set up a profile on POF again

KirstyWirsty · 26/03/2013 07:39

yellow don't worry .. He knows what you look like and likes it!!

miranda I am feeling butterflies on your behalf .. It's a wonderful feeling when you know you are going to see someone you've been missing

lubeybooby · 26/03/2013 07:53

me too OWW

I have some major flirtation going on out of the blue with a friend who handily is staying over at my house this weekend with some other visitors. Things sort of happened with us before but not the whole way too drunk ... anyway I thought he didn't want to bother again but seems I was wrong. Weirdly he started it too despite my current libido levels.

lubeybooby · 26/03/2013 07:54

Oooh Miranda not long now!

Flipper924 · 26/03/2013 08:04

Hello, new thread!

Hope you have a lovely reunion, Miranda.

I'm off out tonight to a regular Tuesday night thing, and will be flirting with my married friend who says lovely things (and also plays rugby). It's usually me and 5 or 6 blokes, so it's kind of my job to do flirting. Keeps my hand in, I think.

ike1 · 26/03/2013 08:14

Enjoy the reunion Miranda!

ike1 · 26/03/2013 08:15

Lubes ...the itch might get scratched then, eh?

VelvetSpoon · 26/03/2013 08:17

Ooh new thread! Happy tuesday everyone :)

I went to sleep before 12 last night (first time in forever) and feel in particularly good spirits today as a result.

Hoping today will be a good day for us all!

lubeybooby · 26/03/2013 08:22

Yeah ike... I'll try and hang on til then rather than exploring PoF again...

He has to change planes in London (pity the current plane couldn't divert here but isn't too long really). Should see him in about 7 hours I think Grin And despite his 18 year old DS being there, we will do snogging with tongues and everything GrinGrin

Its a good feeling isnt it Velv! Yeah leave POF for those desperate moments Lubes....

WarmFuzzyFun · 26/03/2013 08:28

Morning all, well, well, well, a new thread lovely jubbly.

Lubey, get organised, you know how to put together some sweet plans woman...Grin, although OWW may take your crown of being super organised soon, the best way to get over a fella is to get under a fella.

Miranda Envy my first one of this thread Envy

I need to get laid, a week is a long time in my books.

'Three, is the magic number' sings WFF...(you all know what I mean?Smile)

Lurkers, come out, come out, wherever you are...give us a twirl, tell us your news.

Hesistant new comers, come on, post, you know you want to.

Yeah, still a little high spirited over in WFF's world...Grin

ike1 · 26/03/2013 08:28

To the sound of exaggerated retching noises Miranda hahahah...

ike1 · 26/03/2013 08:30

We dont do twirling Miranda ...tut tut ...waggy finger....that nonsense is for middle aged men...

lubeybooby · 26/03/2013 08:41

WFF I am organised... apart from how to work out how to put me and him in my bedroom alone without raising eyebrows and causing much nudging and winking... when I've already said it's the biggest room so a couple of air beds can go in there to avoid squashing everyone into my daughters room and on the sofas.

Confused

Maybe I should give up my room totally and formulate a sofa sex plan... which could backfire if anyone wants to stay up later than us.

Oh, arsebiscuits. Heeeelp.

lubeybooby · 26/03/2013 08:43

and one of the people staying over is my best friend who is in love with me and clearly still hoping things will happen so it will be awful for him if he twigs on...
