wine I haven't heard from Kiltykilty today.. If I don't see him again it will be a shame but let's face it .. There is another line of them on POF to step into his shoes

OhWesternWind · 04/05/2013 22:04

Turn off the read receipt thing,Wine, that way madness lies. It all sounds okay. Sometimes I read texts and because I'm about to drive or go shopping or have someone round I don't answer for a while. I got like this so badly about LM, haven't had a twinge of anxiety yet about Indie.

I agree, dont worry about the texting Wine, it all sounds fine
(I wish my phone got accurate delivery reports/ read receipts...I leave the feature turned off because its so hit & miss Confused )

Pom sorry your ex is being such a tit. That's actually much harder to deal with than my one because, very thankfully, I don't have to see him. Someone being a twat from a distance is far easier to cope with. Hope it gets better soon.

Kirsty I hope you hear back off him but like you say, there are more where he came from.

My take on it is, as a rule, someone who wants a relationship (candlelight/flowers etc) will want a date and want it to be special. Someone who is asking to 'meet' at short notice, especially when pissed, wants a shag

KirstyWirsty · 04/05/2013 23:53

I have been messaging a quite lovely guy who lives in my town tonight .. I suspect Kiltykilty is going to be a vanisher so an arranging to meet him next Saturday night instead .. We will see .. I'm not really one for seeing 2 at the same time

Oh I do love a bit of insomnia before a date, could there be anything more attractive than enormous dark circles and grumpiness ? Bloody typical.

KirstyWirsty · 05/05/2013 08:33

Hope you got some sleep nora what time is your date ?

OhWesternWind · 05/05/2013 08:42

Ha that's me on a good day Nora. Hope you have a brilliant time with Showbiz.

Kirsty this other one sounds promising! Is he a fwb one or a dating one?

KirstyWirsty · 05/05/2013 08:58

FWB OWW He is very attractive and into rock climbing so v muscly .. Meeting him Tuesday lunchtime to see what he is like .. Have you got a date today?

Kiltykilty has been constantly online on POF but I've not heard from him since Friday tea time .. Very disappointing as I thought he was more honest than that and would have told me he is seeing someone else ( but there again maybe I'm plan b)

ALittleStranger · 05/05/2013 09:11

Kirsty that's disappointing. Did he make it sound like there was going to be follow-up with you?

KirstyWirsty · 05/05/2013 09:17

Morning stranger we had plans to meet this Saturday coming .. No doubt Kiltykilty will text at some point but he may be superseded by then.. ( Is that bad of me?)

Therockclimber lives locally .. Has said he can be here at short notice which I quite like and has also specified that he wouldn't see anyone else if he was seeing me

ALittleStranger · 05/05/2013 09:20

I think if you want to blow him off, blow him off. It's difficult because you're not exclusive at this stage and neither of you could really assume that, but it is a blow when someone is apparently so keen on you that they spend their entire time trawling the OD sites for someone else!

KirstyWirsty · 05/05/2013 09:25

Yes Kiltykilty has been on POF pretty much constantly since I met him.. I'm not bothered as there are another couple waiting to take his place if he disappears ( or I like therockclimber better)

We shall see ..

KirstyWirsty · 05/05/2013 09:26

Or if I like therockclimber better rather I will just trade him in

KinNora · 05/05/2013 09:56

Good morning everyone,

Kirsty I know fwb is a kind of no strings arrangement but there's something a little shabby about Kilty's lack of openness, it's a little offputting, isn't it ? Rock Climber sounds promising, especially the being able to turn up at short notice - quick ! It's a shag emergency !

OWW what time are you heading over to Indie's ? Are you sticking with a more easy to remove casual outfit ?

I did get some sleep, I was woken by the arrival of a very short email from you know who, which made it hard for me to drop off again.

Showbiz is picking me up at 2, I have anxieties relating to (a) his beard (b) the possible hirsuteness of his chest and/or back (c) whether I'm going to have to fight him off (d) whether he's going to put me in mind of a Jack Russell, frantically thrusting at a visitor's leg,thus negating the positive gusset-dampening qualities of his excellent kissing. Basically I'm just fretting.

On the plus side, I should get a decent tea.

DaydreamDolly · 05/05/2013 10:03

Kin Grin

Can't wait to hear how this goes!

I've woken up without my children whom I'm not getting back until tomorrow lunchtime and I wish I had a date to fill my time Sad I have to wait until Tuesday night for that!

Any ideas for what I can do for the next 24 hours? Trying not to think of my babies spending time with those two idiots Smile

48howdidthathappen · 05/05/2013 10:08

So its Kin OWW and Wine on dates today. Anyone else?

Kirsty Next Grin

I have got hammered last two nights, not got to bed until gone 2. And I feel fucking great Smile

KinNora · 05/05/2013 10:15

Dolly you should spend the time doing things you love but you don't get a chance to do when the kids are there, lie in the bath, listening to music, swigging a g&t, sunbathing without being mithered, watching telly they'd moan about, take yourself out for lunch, the list is endless.

48 Once again, I take my hat off to your amazing stamina Grin
(Hope your mum's getting on ok too)

VelvetSpoon · 05/05/2013 10:16

Good luck to today's daters!

Kin I love a man with a hairy chest, it's something nice and soft to rest your head on Grin. Hairy backs and/or shoulders are utterly wrong though...and it's quite rare (unfortunately) to find one without the other!

48howdidthathappen · 05/05/2013 10:19

Kin I will be doing Mr R&R tonight Grin

Mum is doing ok. Think I have accepted the situation. At last.
