I know, he's a twat, and I know the best thing is not to see him. I bloody miss him, though. Everything today is reminding me of nice times with him. Going to paint a wall instead.

Yes, I think I'd be alright if MrV hadn't turned out to be a knobber as well.

CastroIsDead · 29/03/2013 14:23

hi all. i met someone friend of a friend only briefly then my friend tell me he likes me and he added me on fb i went for a tea with him quick 10 minutes to see if there was anything there for me. there isn't I've told him i need to work out what i want and don't want to waste his time but he's not getting it..i don't want to be rude or make things awkward if/when see him again but what more can i say??

lubeybooby · 29/03/2013 14:25

OWW remember what you said the other day, there was nothing to miss, he treated you like utter shite. You are missing something imaginary that you wish he would have been. [wetfish]

This is why you need to get used to being single before dating... so the huge comedown when a date doesn't go your way, doesn't send you in a downward spiral ending up begging a crap ex for attention.

You are better than that... definitely paint the wall instead! painting is my big 'get over a bastard' activity. It's ace.

KinNora · 29/03/2013 14:26

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OWW !!!

Do not text him ! Repeat, do not text !

KinNora · 29/03/2013 14:32

I know how hard it is, honestly, from the bottom of my heart I know it but it's not good for you.
Jesus, I was sitting here yesterday in tears, desperate for just a tiny morsel of comfort from that utter fuck puppet, Spud, but I didn't do it because he doesn't deserve me, yes he would be lovely and say the right things and take me to bed and it would all be wonderful until he let me down again and that is precisely what LM will do if you text him. Or he'll ignore you, which will feel even worse.

Bant · 29/03/2013 14:43

Castro

Just tell him he was nice but you didn't fancy him, sorry..

OhWesternWind · 29/03/2013 14:50

Not going to do it. Emergency over, no need for crash carp Grin

CastroIsDead · 29/03/2013 14:50

i feel like saying ok. more importantly i don't want to waste MY time. feels abit harsh tho. y can't he just take the hint. that's the thing that really put me off. too pushy

OhWesternWind · 29/03/2013 14:52

Nora so sorry that Spud is still getting to you. Hope you're feeling better today. It's a rotten feeling, isn't it? But your reasons for not doing it are so right. It's not going to work with either of them, because they are just not good enough.

KinNora · 29/03/2013 14:53

< stands down, pushes crash carp trolley back to the bay >

Castro too pushy is never good, avoid like the plague.

OhWesternWind · 29/03/2013 14:55

Just got a message saying Yhhhhhh. What the hell does that mean???

KinNora · 29/03/2013 14:58

Nah , it's ok, OWW, I'm better today, it is all an utter bag of shite though and I understand completely how you feel.

In my experience it tends to be cyclical, you'll have days where you feel great and other days where you can barely bear to look around you because everything reminds you of them, it does get easier Flowers

KinNora · 29/03/2013 14:59

They're suffering from a vowel emergency ?

OWW You are strong. You can go no contact. It gets easier.

Wine Glad Im 48!

Mr R&R has arrived in Yorkshire.

CastroIsDead · 29/03/2013 15:57

yes kin thanks think I've sorted it. hope so or i will be annoyed. last thing i want is having to answer to someone im abit miffed that i feel like im having to justify myself somehow. first thing he said to me is im cute Hmm why did i even bother with the tea honestly

Snapespeare · 29/03/2013 16:23

Good for you OWW! Stay strong! :)

I've been spring cleaning today, which was necessary as I lost the DCs Easter train tickets. Couldn't find them, so had to shell out for another set of train tickets, that's £66 I don't have. No last night at home pizza for us tonight! [grr] now the shower won't turn off & I'm waiting for a plumber.... House is still a tip & nameless coming over for the first time on Tuesday. Grin I've taken the week off of work. Haven't seen him since last Friday. I am pining. Sad I know he won't be tut-tutting at the dust bunnies, but even so.

VelvetSpoon · 29/03/2013 16:30

Am at the rugby and slightly pissed! Have never seen so many fit half naked men in my life, and yet can't help thinking I'd rather be in the pub with c. Emergency crash carp needed here I think ;)

OhWesternWind · 29/03/2013 16:31

Oh that's bloody annoying Snape, tickets and shower! Still at least you have a good week to look forward to.

OhWesternWind · 29/03/2013 16:34

I am fine now, btw. MrV seems to have gone away quite easily thank goodness! Have had a little fish this afternoon and done some painting, dcs have some friends round so all is happy once again.

Help me, what am I supposed to write in my profile? It keeps saying it's too short!

KinNora · 29/03/2013 17:00

< presses the big red button, dashes to Velvet's side with the crash carp trolley , gets distracted by attractive half naked men>

WarmFuzzyFun · 29/03/2013 17:03

OWW

Your headline...'I leap tall building in a single bound, white water raft, mountain climb and deep sea dive'. Roar!!!

Or 'Come and have a go if you think you are hard enough!' But only if you want a lot of cockshotsGrin

Just trying to be helpful...I'll shut the door on my way outWink

WarmFuzzyFun · 29/03/2013 17:05

I am useless at profile writing, it takes me ages and ages lots of angst. Don't you have an old one you can start from and kind of adapt/improve?

KinNora · 29/03/2013 17:11

Depends what kind of man you'd like to attract, the single best thing I wrote in mine, that has garnered most comments, is 'I like men who can spell'. I mean, who'd have predicted that ? I only included it ( despite it being very true ) in an attempt to deter illiterate muppets.

48howdidthathappen · 29/03/2013 17:11

Mr OZ just rang. It was like he had never gone. We laughed a lot. That is not good.

I am meeting him tomorrow night.
