Dating thread no 52

[BillMasen]

The first one started by a bloke?

Aww Pom, I need glasses too but have had the script for ages - I really do not suit glasses!! Hope DD feels better soon!

Good luck everyone lucky enough to be out tonight :)

Kiltykilty kilty has just made out he has just had a quiet weekend and was in bed by 8 last night ... Yeah right

Oh Pom hope your little DD is feeling better soon. And re the bank hols, what helps me is thinking that actually most of the people out playing happy families aren't actually that happy (me and the Evil Ex used to put on a half decent show of being outwardly happy on such occasions, yet inside I was a seething ball of resentment and irritation) or because of that, really having much fun. Cabin fever is completely understandable, hopefully you can get out for a little bit if DD perks up tomorrow.

Rose can't imagine how irritating it must be to work so hard whilst the Ex lazes around doing sod all. BUT remember that you will soon be shot of his sorry arse once and for all, and then it will all seem SO worthwhile.

Things will get better for both of you, honestly. I guarantee it. And I am always right In the meantime, chocolate, cake and/or alcohol are all helpful to get you through the worst of it.

Wine good luck! And to you too Western!

Nora how bad are the shoes? I can forgive most footwear choices other than those excessively pointy ones (which just look ridic) and any kind of formal shoe worn without socks (that's thankfully a phenomenon mostly limited to men in Essex...)

Kirsty are you not tempted just to bin him? Not just for the lying about last night, the eating and drinking at your expense with nothing in return would have really niggled me.

Good luck winefiend....

Thanks velvet, very kind of you...

I think what is more irritating is that a grown man of 39 years got the sack no doubt on purpose after just 6 weeks of employment, and he wonders why I am so money, money, money worried at the moment. He says I should just relax...yeah right

He is such a loser, and I will never go out with a man beneath me again. I now that sounds snobbish but its about time I located my self esteem!

And chocolate and wine sounds good tonight Velvet...how are you?

velvet yes very tempted .. I imagine when I tell him I've made other plans for Saturday that ought to do it

pom and roae sorry you're having a tough time

Rose we all make mistakes with men, I still wonder what on EARTH attracted me to my Ex - when I met him he was mid 30s, no savings (despite a v well paying job) and despite having a teenage son had never lived away from his parents, couldn't cook or do anything for himself - whereas I'd lived away from home from 18 (when I went to uni) and bought my first house at 25. What was I thinking?!

Not going out with a man who is in any way beneath you is an excellent plan. As one of my friends once said to me, you need a man who can work with you as an equal team, not one you're having to carry along almost like another DC :)

I am good thanks, would kill for a glass of wine but I am dieting so trying to resist! Plus I ate a load of chocolate rice cakes earlier so have already blotted my copybook once today. So trying to distract myself with salad (not working!)

IM GOING OUT!!!!

Sorry for shouting but so excited! Shes coming to pick me up then getting ready at hers. Cant find a thing to wear to so taking some bits down and raiding her wardrobe

Good luck OWW - sorry for posting and running, just having a pre-dinner tidy up.

Full update later but it's a big huzzah for cunnilingus. laterz.

Go nora and sp have fun!!

Have a good night SP, and yay for cunnilingus Kin. .

Yes, your friend is right Velvet. And to think I once considered settling for him as well, I am only 26!

Well done on sticking to the diet, mine starts tomorrow (again)....

And oops I missed your post up there Kirsty, thread moves so fast.

What's going on with kiltykilty?

Nora, huzzah indeed! Glad he hasn't disappointed so far.

Wine, am patientley awaiting loo update, hope all goes well....

SP, have fun! Don't forget, whatever else you wear, the flirt pants must be on!

Thanks for the timely reminder of how crap bank holidays are for even apparently 'happy' couples, Velvet. I was just beginning to feel my good mood going down with the sun, then, but you've made me feel alright again .

Snape and Juliette, so pleased that both of you are having lovely, lovely times.

I'm supposed to be going to the May Fayre tomorrow. As I've not spoken to another human being apart from the lady in Morrison's all weekend, I really must make the effort.

rose basically haven't heard from him from Friday till this afternoon but he has been on POF all weekend .. I decided I wasn't that bothered last night ..realised that when I've met him I have footed the bill (Alart from when he bought me a small wine on my local last week .. reckon he's a bit tight .. anyhow ..Plenty more where he came from and have a coffee date with a lovely local rock climber on Tuesday .. He messaged me today and told me that he's had a really quiet weekend and was on bed for 8pm ( this is after telling me he was busy on Saturday night)

That is kiltykilty messaged me today and told me that he's had a really quiet weekend and was on bed for 8pm ( this is after telling me he was busy on Saturday night and couldn't see me)

hello sorry for crashing thread. have dating question. I have 2 primary age dcs. ex has them for a few hours a week. no overnights.
I can get out of an evening once a week to once a fortnight. (babysitter).
in theory i have a first date next week.

once i had met someone a couple of times if they seemed worth it i would be ok with them coming to mine occasionally once the kids are asleep. the kids don't wake up til about 7.30, would sleep through a bomb and don't come into my room.

but would not want anyone to meet my kids for at least 3 months if not more. am not looking for a new dad for them.

am I kidding myself? is this just totally impractical. are there any bloke out there who would think this was acceptable way to start a relationship? (I am of course top class in the sack )

Hi thread

Blimey, the thread has moved so fast, I don't know where to start. So will just send large dramatic kisses all round (mwah, mwah, mwah).

Well I've spent the evening getting wonderfully pissed with my best friend and her family, what could be better?

Am now back home, ignoring police helicopters, and trying to sober up, in preparation for my 2 dates tomorrow evening. Of course, in one of these dates I will meet the love of my life and be happy ever after (or something like that), I love a bit of tipsy over-optimism.

But either way, my lovely friend has picked out my outfit for tomorrow, so all will be well :)

Nowt wrong with snogging Wine :)

Hi to everyone

Just marking my spot as I an still not dating right now but I'm missing the gossip

mink welcome!! I'm sure if you go out on a few dates until you know you like someone enough to have them home when the kids are in then it will be fine xx

kirsty thanks. fingers crossed for upcoming date.

wine at iron knickers. I need a pair of those.

Wine - what Hey said

Mink - some men might be uncomfortable knowing there are kids in the house, but it's not impossible - especially those who have DC of their own. And especially if you're top class :)

OD (or any other kind of dating) will take some time before you get there anyway - the important thing is consistency, if you have a first date with someone, then can't see them again for a month, it's unlikely to get to that second date, so make sure you've got a babysitter you can rely on, and/or a backup if you can do it - otherwise you might meet someone great but never get to see them again cos your sitter has a cold.
