Dating thread no 51

[JulietteMontague]

All tales of online and real life dating here!

I'd think it should be quite easy to get chatting to people at a singles event Moving as they are all there looking to meet someone. Just smile and ask them how they are finding it or something, doesn't really matter if it's a bit cheesy as it's just to break the ice. Disclaimer - I've never been to a singles event so all the above could be a load of tripe.

Got a babysitter for Tuesday!! Had a few flirty messages last night off Indie, little bit suggestive but nothing more than that. I am taking this as a good sign as the ones I've met where there has been no flirting at all have been no sparkers. And the ones where there has been out-and-out filth before meeting I've not met.

The toddlers dad is been a wanker. He wont say when the toddler is been collected so could be between 4 and 8! Cant give Sparky a time til arsehole gives me one!

He does this on purpose! Not happy today

SP does he know you have a date?

I haven't said anything but then I again I only ask for pick up times if I am making plans. He does this all the time! I asked him last night and he said he would get back to me.

It changes through week as sometimes his mum will get him as shes normally near me at 4ish. If not then depends on what time he gets out of work but he will know what time but prefers to fuck about.

I've told Sparky I'm not sure what time yet.

Great to see so many of you having dates, chatting to hopefully decent men. Will catch up properly later.

My news. My mum is home

Going to see her later after work. Can't wait!

SP, can you not get his mum to pick up instead? Failing that (and with exeprience of my ex who always turns up at the latest possible moment, or usually after that) I'd arrange to meet sparky at say 8.30, as you know that should be the latest it will be - if that makes sense?

I am having a bad day today. I wasn't intending to post much personal stuff here any more but if someone who may or may not know me/ know of me in RL wants to read my stuff and take an undue interest in it, so be it. I'm not sure I care.

So, things with C appear to have stopped. He just isn't in the right place to be with anyone. Possibly he never will be. And that's me back on the shelf where I belong. Not likely I will meet anyone else given my track record. Pretty sad and depressing all round.

I don't have any of way getting intouch with his mum. I have told the wank stain if doesn't give me a time then I will taking the toddler to my mums and he can collect him from there.

after 10 mins I got a text saying he will be collected at 3! So he knew all along yet wasn't going to tell me the arse wipe.

48 I was meaning to ask you the other night about your mum. That is great news, I hope that everything goes well.

I am following thread but am up to my neck work worries so won't post for a bit.

WFF x

Velvet You will meet someone. You just need to wade through a load of shit first

Western - I think your right very wise lady! I'm looking forward to it as od is annoying me and they all turn out to be pricks!

Sps - he sounds like an arse! I know how that feels my exp uses to cancel at the last minute just to piss me off!

Moving He thinks hes funny. Hes in a relationship with my so called best mate yet still trying to control what I'm doing! I knew he wouldn't like the idea of going to my mums that's why I said it. My mum isn't even in

Am trying to catch up with everyone but haven't managed to read all of the last thread so might have missed some stuff.

Velvet I'm so sorry to hear about C. I know how much you like him. I know you don't think you will ever meet anyone else but I really hope that this will give you the chance to meet someone else who is able to be there for you in a way that C isn't.

((((hugs))))

Is anyone thinking of going to the London meet up on Saturday 25 May?

See here

The army lad has text me! I didn't recognise the number so had to ask who it was and it was him. I had deleted it thinking wouldn't hear from him again

48 so pleased you've finally got your Mum home. All settled and good with R&R too so

Velvet so sorry, and sorry to hear you're feeling sad

What made you see that about C Velvet? Has he said something? Sorry :(

Basically its been a few weeks now since I heard from him, although he is not the best at texting, if he wanted/ was in a position to see me, he would have been in touch by now. I know from stuff he's told me that when he is overwhelned by stuff/ unable to deal with it, he closes himself off. Which seems to be what's happened now.

Thanks for all the sympathy, it's very kind. I know there is honestly zero chance of me meeting anyone else though, I'm just not what men want.

Velvet just massive (((hugs))). I don't believe you are not what 'men' want for one second. You have so much to offer, it is just not possible. I know you would say the track record says otherwise, but maybe the men you have been meeting are just not good enough for you.

Velvet- I'm sorry mate. You will find someone else though, I know you don't feel like it, but you were saying recently that lots of other blokes were interested in you (they just weren't 'c')

You deserve someone who isn't so distant, same as OWW deserved someone better than LM. I'm not going to spout platitudes about 'keep on plugging away' or anything as I know you've been doing OD for a long time, but.. it will happen eventually.

Maybe you need to go to the UAE

I think I wouldn't have any luck at a singles night. Id probably get too pissed

We are meeting at 8. Got clothes sorted and already been in bath so can sit around for a bit til I get ready. No nerves at all.

Thanks! Just deciding on shoes, keep changing my mind

So hungry! I wont even speak to him, just shovel food in and drop it all over myself
