good luck OWW

No ike, that wasn't shallow. You can't fancy someone if you don't fancy them.

I was reading the thread about dating disasters earlier, and there were some horror stories. But one of them, the woman said she turned up and saw the guy from a distance - and he was very tall. So she ran for it.

I thought that was shallow.

Cheers pom here's hoping. Should hear from him in next hour or so, he usually sends first text of evening. I'll probably mention it on Tuesday when I see him (if I do ) in a jokey manner blaming this thread! ( He knows I follow an OD blog thing)

lubeybooby · 07/04/2013 19:25

Scooby... time for the what is this?/exclusivity chat if you haven't already had it. I'm guessing not as you both still had profiles

Scrazy · 07/04/2013 19:26

Oh Ike, what a disappointment. Green tea bags eh, think I've got some lurking around.

I treat these after date texts in the same way. I get the nice to meet you one and reply in a similar vein, don't ask questions or give off the vibe that I'm interested then hope they get the hint. I am very good at ending dates in a way that they know I am not interested.

I have never had to say, no spark or had it said to me. I would be mortified if anyone actually said it tbh. I think women are put in that position as it's still old school in my book that they should contact first after a date.

No chasing men, ever, I stopped doing that many years ago.

I'm not sure if any of the 'do you recognise these people' blog link is made up but I found it quite chilling and an interesting read.

KinNora · 07/04/2013 19:27

Why would you run away if someone was very tall ? That is both a bit knobby and really very impolite.

OhWesternWind · 07/04/2013 19:28

Going in!!!!

KinNora · 07/04/2013 19:29

Ooh, please let him be lovely

Scrazy · 07/04/2013 19:33

Forgot to say Ike, could he be a friend? Or is it an out and right no?

Finger crossed for OWW.

Scooby, but you went online too. I would have the chat soon if this is upsetting you, pay good attention to body language when you do.

Snapespeare · 07/04/2013 19:33

Fingers X'd big style for OWW come on cake-boy!

Scrazy · 07/04/2013 19:34

Posting too quickly, meant men traditionally contact first after a date.

OhWesternWind · 07/04/2013 19:36

Oh no crap pub choice, full of pissed young people! Can't see him, have texted to say where I am sitting!

OhWesternWind · 07/04/2013 19:38

He's just phoned, he's parking up. Oh bugger!

KinNora · 07/04/2013 19:39

If it all goes well, you could have the immense pleasure that comes of offending young people with their elders having a snog.

ike1 · 07/04/2013 19:40

Good luck OWW....just rechecked the guy from today's photo and there is just no way I would have recognised him from it in the flesh...I am not implying there is any deliberate deception...its just that is is soo very hard to judge these things.

Bant · 07/04/2013 19:40

we should set up a skype account for this thread so we can all actually watch though people's phone-cameras..

KinNora · 07/04/2013 19:40

And breath OWW

scoobydooagain · 07/04/2013 19:40

Thanks for the replies, know I am being unreasonable but was surprised and also shocked by my reaction, obviously like him more than I was admitting to myself. Will try the chat thing Tuesday.

KinNora · 07/04/2013 19:40

Can you imagine ? Dear god.

ike1 · 07/04/2013 19:40

Oh no Bant no!

KinNora · 07/04/2013 19:43

We could have those glasses with a camera in the frame, transmitting away. Deary dear

Good luck OWW

I had a man talk to me, mention meeting up then I haven't heard anything. No day, time or place at all. Whats the point in that?
