Dating Thread 50 .....

[TigsytheTiger]

celebrating half a century of dating chit chat, all welcome ...

I had a six week stint with a man from POF. Was a very good 6 week.

Moving on and moving up now though

Snape ah, not yet. But I'm sure I will at some point. Positive thinking and all that :)

I am so tired I don't have the energy to worry about it. Hoping for a better night's sleep tonight!

I am virtually handing you milk laced with brandy and tucking you in to tell you an amazing story involving time travel, jackie Collins and a mystery millionaire. There's a happy ending. (not that kind of happy ending, I'm not paying £80 for a vadge yoni fiddle)

Joy if I didn't give them a chance, I would have almost no dates. I go on the principle that anyone can appear a bit odd to start with, I probably have to him if he picked up on the irritation in my voice ffs. At 44 he shouldn't be quite such a knobber. I'm used to dealing with men who respect me professionally and my male friends of old are from the original radical feminist school of life where its taken for granted that patronage is unacceptable. Its a bit of a shocker to realise I'm in the land of knob.

I think I have to lower my age limit again to be with someone who is fun, good company and who can remind me what it's meant to be like. I'm getting seriously pissed off with it now.

Velvet sending you vibes for a peaceful night

Evening all,

velvet any news yet from c? Hope you manage some sleep tonight.

I have had a day of positive action. Got in touch with solicitor, have a new plan. I like plans. Got in touch with the counselling service at work. Having some sessions to help me deal with stuff that is going on. Had lovely chats with my fab work friends. Came home to my lovely babies who were full of smiles and hugs. Life really isn't too bad.

Chats have ended with the policeman. Randomly and without explanation. Don't you just love OD and its sweetshopness.. It's a good job I am not in a vulnerable state!! Oh yes I forgot, I am!!!!

That's fabulous news Pom ( not about the disappearing rozzer but pfffft, easy come, easy go ) it's lovely to hear you sounding so much more positive.

Pom vanishers, the curse of OD. Don't be surprised when he pops back up a week or two later as though nothing happened...

Flipper Mwah x

Hope you get a good night's sleep Velvet.

Lubey keep going, keep going, this is probably the worst bit.

Meh meh meh today, really busy at work, thinking stupid thoughts requiring CrashCarp TM, feeling low and lonely. I have got things planned for the weekend and everything, seeing family and friends, going to the fair with the children, but it all feels a bit grey and lacklustre. I don't even want LM back, don't have any desire to text him or get in touch with him but I am really missing doing couple/family things together. I think it was a taste of what I've been missing for a long time, and now that's gone it feels worse than it was before, when I was quite alright being on my own. It's made me realise how much I do want someone - the right someone - in my life.

Sorry, not posted much today but it has been a right flap at work. Will try and catch up with you all.

Days like that are normal OWW, we all have them.

That kind of a day is so shitty OWW although it's good that you've not had the urge to text LM. Have a chuck.

It's a bit of a bugger that we can't have a thread fairy godmother who waves a wand and gives us all exactly what we want, it would make life a whole lot easier.

oww I completely relate to what you are saying. Completely. You are doing so well though and this is just a little wobble. You don't need him in your life. He was rubbish and he made you sad and you deserve more. You deserve Mr Perfect. He is out there, looking for you, but your paths haven't crossed yet. They will though, don't you fear xx

I have been told by loads of people that the right person comes when the time is right. Hate getting that answer because I like plans and structure and I would like to know exactly how and when I am going to meet the right man so I can start making plans!!! Ha ha now I know exactly why I am single!!!

Eaten way too much lemon drizzle cake today!!!

Thanks WFF. Will perk up soon I'm sure, and I don't think the grey skies and rain have helped (or my bloody mother but that is a whole other thread by itself). Going to have a nice bath and text an engineer.

Have not had a shag for three weeks. This situation could shortly lead me to do something unwise, also possibly involving baths and engineers.

Pom you are going to be my role model, sounding so positive and full of plans and action today. Counselling can really help - my sessions came to an end so I signed up for more before Christmas and still waiting. Although strangely enough, all my anxiety (which is why I signed up again) seems to have disappeared . . . odd, that.

Whats the Crash Carp?

Oh I'm not bothered about the disappearing policeman. I could message him again but i refuse to double message and I'm not that desperate for any old man - understand that i may not come across that way on this thread but like to think I am a bit cool in real life!! Just a bit bored with all the messaging, meet me please and then nothing. Weirdo. Hate the non repliers but then I suppose I am not completely innocent and may have not messaged some men back because I found them completely boring and banterless. Such is life...

Banter is a non negotiable Pom, otherwise they are engineers aren't they OWW ?

And men who fold their clothes carefully after taking them off, no matter that their is a vibrant, amazon in front of the literally vibrating with excitement, clothes must be neatly folded [shudder]

oww I can talk a good game! If its positive talking that you want then I have got it by the bucketload. Just not great at putting it into practice sometimes!!

You are doing great. You have numerous engineers on the go. One of them may turn out to be a goodie. And if not then its not the end of the world. It's a big old sea out there and you don't seem to be lacking in getting a bite!!

Three weeks is nothing!!!!!!

I have sent Back Burner a message...

wff you are right banter is non negotiable. I spent way too many years with an illiterate, humourless buffoon to ever put up with that again. Either entertain me and make me laugh or do one! I'm not your mum

I'm feeling a bit feisty tonight I think!!

SP the crash carp evolved from the need to have a wet fish on standby to slap those posters who were pining/feeling miserable/investing too much, I think Juliette had the original wet fish on her profile in case of such emergencies. The crash carp is a souped up version, based loosely on an A&E crash trolley in my head

Pom

I am the same though. Plus sexual compatibility (bet that's a surprise for all of you posters and lurkers!) feisty doesn't even come close, I am a lioness, ROAR!!!

And very nuts of course

Lab is texting me...standby with the crash carp, Pom observe and make notes...

I need to mark exam papers. Am on the sofa watching a programme about tea. I don't even like tea.

DC with XH and his GF is there as well tonight (she lives up in the wilds of Scotland. Well not that wild I suspect). Children were pleased to hear she was going to be there which is good as obviously I want them to have a good relationship with her but it hurts a bit :(

May have consumed entire bag of jelly beams

Somehow got waylaid into arranging a date for next Thursday NOT with an engineer - this one has a lovely profile but comes from the same town as Rick Astley and from his pictures I think he may possibly be a third cousin - this look didn't really do it for me in the 80s, doesn't really do it for me now, but I am learning more and more not to trust photos at all. The two dates I have had recently both bore no resemblance at all to their photos, one better, one worse. This one has hair and teeth, anyway.

Now I will try to do my bath and my engineer . . .
