The Rules

1 Develop a thick skin;

  1. Do not invest emotionally too soon;
  2. It's all BS until it actually happens;
  3. Trust your gut instinct;
  4. If it is not fun, stop

Off we go...

Ok. I will not call I will not call I will ignore. Reserving judgement Hmm

OhWesternWind · 12/05/2013 14:12

Juliette all will be well.

I was moaning yesterday about no morning text from Indie - didn't say anything to him but it turned out he'd been called into work for an emergency ... Not the same I know but there will be a reason and everything is fine. But if you want to get in touch, then why don't you? He's straightforward and doesn't strike me as a game player.

I have received one message from a man who has a thing for women farting! Shock Didn't know that was a thing!

Seriously.. I thought I'd read it wrong but I read it several times and its says farting. Oh and he likes feet.

OhWesternWind · 12/05/2013 15:00

SP he'd love it round here after that chili last night. Eww. I shouldn't be surprised by this sort of thing but I am. Did he write it in his profile or message you specially to tell you?

KinNora · 12/05/2013 15:01

SP and they say romance is dead ...

Wine my head is improving via the miracle of Irn Bru

JulietteMontague · 12/05/2013 15:03

I have bare feet in one profile pic so already get foot men Hmm I can do farting if they insist.

With regard to no Dutch, I am a bit pissed off. I won't phone yet, will see what this evening brings.

SPsCliffingAllOverMN · 12/05/2013 15:05

OWW He sent a message telling me to check out his profile and to get back to him if its for me.

Tesco delivery is late so I can't even eat my way through it. It's time for the Gusset of Granite.

KinNora · 12/05/2013 15:23

Should I ask what the Gusset of Granite is Juliette ? Or is it really baaaaaadddd ?

JulietteMontague · 12/05/2013 15:35

kin it's the ultimate hard hat/girding of loins. Gets straight to it Grin

OhWesternWind · 12/05/2013 15:57

Got some vaguely naughty texting going on with Indie - looking forward to round two tonight.

HeyBeenTryingToMeetYou · 12/05/2013 16:00

Hi lovely thread

Jules, try not to worry about gaps in contact, I know it's hard though. Oh and ps, I nearly fell off my sofa when you said the age of your next birthday, as you know I think your profile pics are stunning, I thought you were about 40! (and a gorgeous 40 at that)! So, I am not Envy at all!

OWW glad to hear cheery Indie news, are you going to ask him about the compliments thing, or just leave it for now?

Velvet, I totally share the birthday doooooom, just plan something that you will enjoy for yourself, and sod the diet for one day!

Kirsty rockclimber date sounds wonderful

Well, I have date num 2 with MrAttractive tonight. Trying not to overthink things and get too nervous .

If it all goes wrong maybe I could hook up with your farty fetishist SP, I am his dream woman Blush.

KinNora · 12/05/2013 16:02

Oh yes, of course OWW I'd forgotten about you seeing Indie again tonight -are you feeling any better about it all ?

I see Juliette Grin

KinNora · 12/05/2013 16:12

Thanks Hey, 'the wanting to die' hangover event horizon has passed, now I just want a sleep.

Drink responsibly.

OhWesternWind · 12/05/2013 16:15

Oh good luck for tonight Hey. Where are you going?

Might say something about he compliments if the opportunity arises but it does sound very shallow and spoilt princessy so probably not. Am feeling better Nora thank you - I know I tend to get a downer on things when I have a lot of other crap going on, which does make it difficult to work out what I actually feel about him ... But so long as it's fun and good sex and good company that will do for me at the moment.

HeyBeenTryingToMeetYou · 12/05/2013 16:21

Country pub. ARGHHHHH!!

I suppose it's really easy to massively overthink things in the early days OWW, fun, good sex and good company sounds brilliant for now. Let things grow at own pace is best way :)

JulietteMontague · 12/05/2013 16:21

Good the wanting to die phase is over Kin, I swear hangovers and flu we always forget how horrible they are.

OWW and kirsty good luck tonight, Hey thanks for that. It's not helping that I have a range of birthday breakups to add into the mix Hmm

JulietteMontague · 12/05/2013 16:21

Ooh and good luck with Mr Attractive later Smile

HeyBeenTryingToMeetYou · 12/05/2013 16:25

Yeah, that doesn't really help things Juliette. I personally prefer to save up trauma and loss until the Christmas season, still each to their own Grin

DaydreamDolly · 12/05/2013 20:21

Good luck with Indie tonight OWW Smile

Mr TD&H is being slow and non committal and I am fed up with it. So I am now ignoring until he makes some sort of effort to woo me. I'm not taking less than I deserve this time around.
In other news, had a message on POF from a guy asking me for a drink. Had a peek on his profile and it says, in bold capitals, I do not date white women, only black. WTAF?? There's some sorts out there.
