all on target then

Snapespeare · 28/04/2013 21:05

Snog! Snog! Snog! Snog!

MirandaWest · 28/04/2013 21:24

I think snogging should happen :)

HeyBeenTryingToMeetYou · 28/04/2013 22:07

Must....have...update.....

OhWesternWind · 28/04/2013 22:56

Snogging has occurred. It was lush, he's a beautiful kisser. Bit of other stuff as well.

KinNora · 28/04/2013 22:57

Well that's bobbins, isn't it ? I come back on here expecting to vicariously enjoy someone else's successful dates and they're too busy doing it to post. Pah.

I'm wazzed off with men Showbiz. I think he's doing his tedious 'man cave' bollocks. Look, you beardy lounge lizard, I'm only keeping you on because you send me amusing, provocative texts, if you don't do that, then I may as well bin you off.

That's lovely OWW I'm really, really pleased for you Smile

HeyBeenTryingToMeetYou · 28/04/2013 23:11

"beautiful kisser"? Envy Hooray! Grin

Snorted in pig like fashion at 'beardy lounge lizard' kin

Should I mention my tendency to snort like a pig when laughing on my profile? MEGAPIGSNORTLOLZ?

Am currently chatting with 2 chaps on POF. Not sure if any spark will be present on meeting (if occurs), but non potato, intelligent sounding, one of them is quite funny too. I may give him a thread name if still chatting in a few days.

OhWesternWind · 28/04/2013 23:22

Better update now I've had some food!

Went to the pub, had a few drinks and a chat and a laugh but there was a lot of brushing hands, legs touching and all that sort of stuff, then I gave him a lift home and he said thank you for a lovely night and kissed me. And so on. Could have stayed there all night, was a bit late back for the babysitter but I drove like a boy racer so it was only ten minutes.

He's asked me to go over to his for a meal next weekend ... Think I will. There's a hell of a lot of chemistry there. He's lovely, think he's going to be very good. He's straightforward and normal and seemingly unscrewed up and not hung up about his ex, so that is not a bad start Grin

HeyBeenTryingToMeetYou · 28/04/2013 23:27

Blimey, is there some sort of thread discount at Mr Hatty's House of Wonderful Hats? I think we're going to need it! Am ridiculously pleased about your update OWW Grin

JulietteMontague · 29/04/2013 00:13

OWW whoohooo! date three at his place. Make sure you check out his bathroom cabinet Wink

WarmFuzzyFun · 29/04/2013 06:32

Well Good Morning!

OWW glad all went well.

Kirsty what's occurring? Have I missed your report?

Jules how many sleeps now? Are you still grinning like a loon Grin?

Twinny you need more than provocative texts, you know that rightWink?

48 I hope that your mum is feeling a whole lot better now. There are always teething troubles when establishing a care routine. Once things are sorted and everyone knows what they are doing and what's expected things will be a lot better for everyone involved, especially your mum. I still have lovely memories of one carer who used to make my mum roar with laughter every morning (we are big on roaring Grin).

KinNora · 29/04/2013 07:00

Good morning everybody,

Twinny, no, you didn't miss Kirsty's update, gawd bless her, she must have been having too good a time.

I know I need more than provocative texts, I'm seriously thinking about jacking the OD thing in for a bit - I'm losing enthusiasm and/or hope so it may be time to step back.

Have a fantastic day everyone

last night I went to buy some milk from a local shop. As I reached into the fridge cabinet there was a woman who was also reaching for the same carton, we stopped, looked at each other, made eye contact, and just both burst out giggling in a shy kind of 'that's funny, and you're stunning' kind of way. It was just really weird. We ended up going for croissants at the same time, at the till at the same time, nervously standing next to each other because we hadn't said a word yet.

Then I said to the woman behind the counter -'I don't speak hungarian, sorry' (in hungarian) - and 'do you have a plastic bag' in english. The woman next to me looked almost distraught when she realised I don't speak the lingo and presumably her english isn't good. So asking for her number, or to go to dinner, or possibly to marry me, wasn't going to go well.

Ah well. Pants.

OWW - lovely to hear it went well. Next time remember we're all waiting around for your feedback, get the kissing done earlier so we're not all on the edge of our seats for so long :)

Kirsty - what news?

HeyBeenTryingToMeetYou · 29/04/2013 10:09

Bant maybe you need to learn the Hungarian phrase 'I'm willing to learn Hungarian for the right woman' and then lurk in that shop, a lot.

Bant · 29/04/2013 10:40

And day that to the shopkeeper? She was in her 70s

KirstyWirsty · 29/04/2013 11:13

Just realised I didn't do an update!!!

It was absolutely amazing .. He is funny, considerate and lovely .. Nice body, hung like a horse and has a lot of stamina and is great in bed .. Had one hours sleep and he dropped me at work this morning. He is picking me up from work on Thursday and we are also seeing each other on Saturday .. Absolutely fantastic

OWW

KirstyWirsty · 29/04/2013 11:14

OWW glad your date went well

OhWesternWind · 29/04/2013 11:26

Bant that is just so romantic, like a scene out of a film, but with the wrong ending . . .

Hey been listening to Doolittle this morning, hadn't played it for ages until your name reminded me about it, and about time too!

Nora well if that silly beardy Showbiz is having some kind of man-sulk then I would just ignore, but it is a bit galling. Hope he will sort himself out and get back on form. Isn't he supposed to be coming to see you soon? But it sounds like it's not really what you want/need - maybe having a break or a fresh start with it would be a plan.

All excited about Indie this morning, bit distracted. I think he is quite keen! He started work early today so there was a text before I left for work, which I do like. There's not too much texting, but there is no hanging about for days waiting for a text, or a response, like there was with LM even at the start. I don't get any feeling at all of any game playing going on here, or any "unavailability" issues with him, and hence no anxiety from me. I like someone being keen on me (as well as me on him), I like him doing a bit of chasing, I like him texting me and making it obvious that he likes me. I think we both know where we are with each other and that's a good feeling.

JulietteMontague · 29/04/2013 11:29

Kin it is so easy to start feeling like it's all a bit hard work, and depending of what we are looking for, it can be. It does go in cycles, the only thing that keeps me off the sofa is that I know I have to be in it to have any chance of finding what I want. It's not easy though and rule 5 is there for good reason.

Bant movie meeting! you'll have 5 children and a picket fence and dogs. After 2 years of not quite being in the shop at the same time Grin

JulietteMontague · 29/04/2013 11:32

Kirsty fantastic news, he sounds wonderful Grin

OhWesternWind · 29/04/2013 11:50

Kirsty that sounds fabulous! Seems like you are both pretty keen on each other, lovely stuff.

JulietteMontague · 29/04/2013 11:52

WFF 2 sleeps, still grinning. Getting a little bit nervous now, will sort out clothes and stock and up on food for DS today. So glad I'm going there, he is cleaning bedrooms and doing laundry, I'm off to check out underwear Grin

OhWesternWind · 29/04/2013 12:00

Juliette I'm so excited for you. I bet you are on pins about it all, but as long as it's a good-nervous it will all be fine. Is he still being lovely on Skype?

VelvetSpoon · 29/04/2013 12:02

Great that there's lots of good dating going on. Good for you western and kirsty Grin

kin if you're feeling a sense of ennui with the whole OD thing, you may want to give it a rest. Or delete everything and start again with a whole new profile. Whatever works for you.

I am still feeling positive re C. He said he feel very comfortable when he's with me, which I am interpreting as a good sign :) he is off abroad in a few days, as it is freezing here today I am trying not to feel jealous that he will soon be enjoying 30 deg temperatures!
