The nickname thing can be a problem - I am convinced that one day I am going to call one of them by his nickname. I tend to write about them more on here using their nickname than talk about them using their real name so the NN becomes lodged in my brain.
Nora hope all goes well with Showbiz! He will be in seventh heaven with those shoes and may not be able to contain himself if sniffing is also indulged in. You have been warned.
Lubey you're nearly through the worst bit. Stay resolute, you WILL get through this and it will pass. Every day now will be getting better and easier. You're fab.
Joy - yes, that's exactly what I'm doing and it's very silly. I need to look ahead instead of winding myself up about imaginary possibilities for an imaginary future with a twat. But thank you for understanding.
Have had two very nice, long, considered messages off very nice-seeming (was going to say nice-looking but that may be debatable) men this morning - PoF both of them. So I will be replying to those tonight.
I have an odd man on Match - he is the one that asked me out first message, then again and I said yes. He has now messaged to say he wants to meet in x place at 7 pm on Monday or Tuesday. This won't work for me at all. Bit taken aback by the tone and peremptory style and I am not sure if I want to meet now. At the very least I want to put him off for a few days - seeing RickAstleyalike next week so I don't know if I can cope with two of them. RA is very much the opposite, offering to drive to my town if it would make it easier with babysitters etc etc, which is much more to my liking. What should I do about the other one?
Don't really like Match very much. The men on there seem a bit more entitled, maybe because they're paying, but they're paying for the site not for me. Haven't had any problem with finding potentially suitable, professional and well-behaved men on PoF so I think I will stick mainly to that in future.
