All daters welcome here.

Pants indeed, OWW.

I felt odd about going to meet Coot, given that I have something nice, albeit very short-term, with Buffy. I'm actually a bit relieved it didn't work out. The high OKC match thing does seem to work in terms of whether I'd get on with someone, but not whether I'd fancy them or not I suppose.

But, when she's gone, I'll get back on the horse I guess. Or see how the French model sweet shop works out. Or just, you know, get on with work and stuff.

meh.

(there was a 95% match in Budapest who was quite cute though, maybe I'll contact her in a few weeks)

Wine - they are few and far between, but your MEGALOLZ inspired a LOL from me.

ike1 · 07/04/2013 00:42

Exactly....I will not be returning to the fight for a while after this...too draining...

ike1 · 07/04/2013 00:43

See I have written it off already...

'Morning all! Brew

Up early to crack on with assignments...all this personal commitment... after almost two weeks of putting it off!!!
So date 3 with coach was surreal but great fun, got introduced to the whole team which was rather unexpected. Date 4, on Wednesday, was dinner & theatre, which again was brilliant.
Then from Thursday night until late last night silence again, suddenly broken by a text asking if I was ok and if I had received his text. Is this guy a pathological liar???
All his actions say otherwise and although I found the two day silence (it's happened three times now) a bit of a red flag, it doesn't bother me in the sence that I have to hear from him all the time.
What are your thoughts, experienced daters? And how should I reply to this one? I was going to go along and say "yes, I did. Didn't you get my reply?"
I am enjoying dating this guy but I really don't want to be dragged into some drama!
Thank you muchly and hope you will all be out enjoying the sunshine!!! Grin

KinNora · 07/04/2013 07:20

Good morning everyone,
Breaking news, Software told me something exciting last night, texted him to say thank you for a lovely weekend etc, he replies, no, thank you, it was lovely, etc etc , then texts again to say he's just learned that his new flatmate's a part time actor and has been in several episodes of Dr Who!

Obviously I will not be interrogating Software for gossip at all.

StellaBrillante · 07/04/2013 07:21

in the sence that I don't have to hear...! Wink

StellaBrillante · 07/04/2013 07:23

Hi Nora,
I haven't had a chance to catch up on the thread but SO pleased for you that it seems to be going well with Software! Smile

KinNora · 07/04/2013 07:25

Stella I think I would probably go with your instincts if all your time spent with him has been so enjoyable, maybe keeping a little wariness in place as it's all relatively new.

KinNora · 07/04/2013 07:27

Thank you Stella ( it's not really going particularly well, he's a lovely man but not exactly Mr Loverman - Shabba )

StellaBrillante · 07/04/2013 07:36

Hahaha sorry but the reference to 'Mr Loverman-Shabba' made me laugh Smile The problem with chemistry is that you can't just 'work on it', can you?

Thank you for the advice! x

micshi · 07/04/2013 07:56

I haven't been on here for a while, though I've been lurking. Lovestruck seems to have been a waste of time, there's no one on it! So went on POF & had messages from some interesting people & a few disastrous first dates!
Gave one a second chance after he blew me out at the last minute (after I got ready!) & had a great time, we really hit it off (I thought), had loads in common & he was a great kisser! He arranges to take me out for dinner last night (asked me on Friday night), then doesn't show up! He wasn't feeling well, so went to bed & overslept! I was so excited as well Sad. So my new policy is no 2nd chances with anyone! It's a shame as there seems to be a dearth of attractive genuine men on these sites!

TigsytheTiger · 07/04/2013 09:03

agreed Micshi, your twat radar was working first time and the second time just confirmed it! what a knob!

Stella I'm confused, when he said did you get my text? do you mean there was or wasn't a text, and if there was that you did reply but then didn't hear anything for two days.

Rose in answer to your question about pash sesh, pash is a sort of 1950's boarding school term for having a crush on someone, pash sesh is a follow on from that meaning, I suppose basically, having a snogging session. It's quite an old fashioned, almost coy phrase to use, a bit jolly hockey sticks - hence the references to Miranda Hart that is, not our very own MirandaWest!. Tbh, if anyone mentioned a pash sesh to me, I would have run for the hills, I like language that says what it does Grin

OWW its date night!!! okay I know I'm early, what can I say? kids all still asleep and I'm on my own with Match of the Day on TV. Interestingly still have my STBXH daughter here, she wanted to stay, so she has been here all weekend, he would have 50 fits if he knew, having banned all contact when he left yes, he is a controlling knobhead.

Mr EA over later this afternoon, can't wait to see him for a pash sesh! hee hee

KinNora · 07/04/2013 09:23

Tigsy lucky you with the pash sesh this afternoon. It's lovely that your ex's daughter still wants to spend time with you, quite a testament to the relationship you'd built with her.

Miranda I can state with absolute certainty that I never think of you as anything remotely like the unfunny public school slapstick flogger, Miranda Hart, more like Miranda Richardson in her flinty and coolly elegant roles in period dramas.

OWW will you forgive me if I say 'wakey, wakey for Cakey-Cakey' just this once ? Let's hope the collective will of the thread ensures a marvellous date.

Ike - you told him you should get married ??! Don't make me get the crash carp.
