Sorry to hear about that Snape I think you need Nameless to console you big stylee.

Martini have you got anyone else on the go apart from the rozzer ? I no likey the Policeman, I know that work can be unpredictable but not that unpredictable unless he's Special Branch or something.

Hello Pom and Scrazy and Kirsty

Bill a big hmmmm at the Italian's behaviour, even if she is trying to prompt the exclusivity conversation, seems a bit ill mannered and insensitive to me.

Bant a further pffffft at Frenchy. Are you planning on going all 'Frightfully, frightfully English' on Cheshire's ass ? I can imagine being seriously bowled over if my first picnic was all strawberries and champagne.

Juliette no, you're right, velour doesn't make it better.

OWW any more news from Alpha ?

Hello everybody - mwwwwaaah.

Nothing to report from me, other than the balding berk on MA who suggested that my photo wasn't current as an opening gambit.
I'm in the process of serving his ass to him.

KinNora There's a possibility of Mr Sky but he is a two hour drive away. Not so easy to meet up for a drink but still possible. Have skyped with him and still find him attractive! I did likey the policeman but think I need to move on. Waiting for his reply and taking it from there. Begging my friend to come out tonight so I can meet some RL people.

KinNora · 14/06/2013 17:53

Martini yes get yourself out on the razz. I'm something of a long distance relationship connoisseur (although not in Juliette's league) so I reckon you should meet up with Mr Sky.

pornstarmartini · 14/06/2013 17:55

He'll have to wait till I've got some cash to get there! At least I won't have to worry about judgey people seeing me out and about.

KinNora · 14/06/2013 17:55

Software lived over the other side of the country from me, Showbiz lives a hundred odd miles north, Talent Show lives somewhere in the middle of the country.

KinNora · 14/06/2013 17:56

I quite like the separateness of it but then I suspect I have ishoos.

broken - that comment screams out 'I am cleverer than everyone I meet and need to control other people'..

Or possibly

'I am harbouring an alien parasite'

Neither of which is particularly good

KinNora · 14/06/2013 18:58

Broken it's a wonder he didn't tag a 'mwahahahahahaha' on the end and a photo of him twirling his villain moustache.

I have decided that tonight I will meet Mr Pornstar in a bar. He'll have no ishoos, be tall and sweep me off my feet. RL dating I'm on my way.

Profile currently being vetted by pom, she's flipping gorgeous

Bant · 14/06/2013 19:19

Martini - PM me your details too and I'll take a look once the DC are settled

pornstarmartini · 14/06/2013 19:19

BANTTTTTTT the consensus is that I need you!

BillMasen · 14/06/2013 19:38

Thanks for your comments all.

I've given her a massive benefit of the doubt, given that no exclusive conversation has taken place and that she thought being honest was good. Still niggled that she's eyeing up the sweet trolley but I've thrown it back to her what my expectations are (no new dates on either side) should we look to arrange the next date.

Awaiting a response. Not completely sure it's worth the trouble.

JulietteMontague · 14/06/2013 19:40

martini I'll take a look too, just PM me. It may not be tonight as a little bit too much wine already but I'll do it asap. Policeman shows all the signs of being a knobber

Bill I would let her know next time you're out on a date with someone I think your reply was good and measured. It would piss me off that apparently she's said that at the weekend when she knows you are not available Hmm

Snape you were close, as you didin't want it that's great news Smile

Pomegranatenoir · 14/06/2013 19:46

bill if you like her then maybe allow her one strike. If not then she possibly isn't worth causing yourself any pain. Hope you are okay!!

martini you are the gorgeous one!!! Have a lovely night!!

oww thanks for your lovely messages. I will message you now

BillMasen · 14/06/2013 19:48

juliette it's actually next weekend, she wasn't clear which sat. That actually makes it a little bit more annoying as its a weekend I am free. We struggle massively to find time to meet and she'd rather try a new date on the rare mutually free nights.

JulietteMontague · 14/06/2013 20:04

Bil that is also bad. You've said your piece though and in this case it really would be her loss if she can't make the effort. Can I say she's been a 'Cahhh'?

KinNora · 14/06/2013 20:09

I'm with Jules on this one

BillMasen · 14/06/2013 20:13

Won't be losing too much sleep if she'd prefer to try her luck elsewhere after this.

And I have mo

BillMasen · 14/06/2013 20:14

Moon girl pencilled in for next thurs with the expectation of a cancellation. Better start trying to line up some decent people for dates :)

velvetspoon · 14/06/2013 20:23

The update from me is that he's not replied. I suspect increasingly he's not going to, and that it's over and I won't ever hear from him again.

Feel disappointed he couldn't tell me why I wasn't good enough, or what I did wrong and instead is ignoring my texts. And very, very sad that I won't get to see him again, and that I've lost him and what was most likely my last chance of anything. All rather :( in the Velvet house tonight.

Bant · 14/06/2013 20:27

sorry velvet. I know it's looking shit at the moment but you do deserve - and you can get - someone far better. He may have had many good points, but the fact that he was so incapable of having a relationship like a grown up is a fairly huge problem. You deserve more.

Bant · 14/06/2013 20:29

and if I remember correctly, Bill, there were a bunch of people on this thread that fancied your tousle-haired look and were throwing offers in your direction :)

As they say, chin up, tits out and.. erm.. you know.

You didn't seem all that bowled over by the Italian, to be honest. Hope MoonGirl pulls her socks up a bit.

pornstarmartini · 14/06/2013 20:35

Bant I've read your reply. Thank you! It won't let me reply via phone but I agree with the things you've said. Onwards I go. Screw you Mr policeman!
