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

Bant I read that thread when the bloke had just started to self destruct. Did he actually get to the stage of saying trout-faced fat birds or were you paraphrasing? Grin

BillMasen · 20/06/2013 18:15

Thanks alittle. I'll be fine as this all means I'm not likely to invest too much in this one now for the time being.

Bant · 20/06/2013 18:19

It may have been halibut. I forget. Definitely done type of fish. Also, back ends of buses were mentioned.

JulietteMontague · 20/06/2013 18:20

I've just realised the group I'm going to this evening is all men, except me. Typical, people usually say go to events where there are men, I was always surrounded by men. Work, watersports (noooo sailing and diving), the gym. Just goes to show the level of bollocks people spout about how to date. Also a shame I'm not in the the zone. I will wear my glasses to see the wildlife, I never wear my glasses out, so this is a big towel being thrown in. Shall pass any good one's on to the thread.

I may clean my glasses though Grin

JulietteMontague · 20/06/2013 18:21

Bant excellent, no mention of his efforts with mantelpieces and fires I hope. He was definitely heading that way.

Bant · 20/06/2013 18:25

Was he a chimneysweep, juliette?

JulietteMontague · 20/06/2013 18:40

Well what with all them wimmin converting an all, not much call for it round his parts.

Juliette good luck with Meet Up. I am absolutely bombarded with them, MUs for plant foragers, angel-believers, wimmin only, lots for going to gigs, Christians, on & on. Gives you a chance to go out, maybe dress up, whatever. The best in my area are a general socialising one & a walking & biking one.
Things still going swimmingly for me with Meet Up guy, have booked a B&B + bottle of champers for his B-day.
On STBXH front ( now also known as Cap'n Birdseye due to beard) my Marriage Cert arrived which means I can file! HUGE hassle getting a copy as we were married in California & I lost it. Life goes onwards & upwards.
Am PMSL reading posts, especially costume related ones - 1001 things to do with Italian boat shoes...

Oh dear got the weekend bloke on the text wanting to go out for a drink this weekend. Don't think it would be a good plan as I know what would happen!

Would be a bad plan Wine as I gave him the old heave-ho last week ... I know he'd try it on which would be awkward, also might be tempted if I was a bit pissed as he was good in bed but it would be a very bad idea.

Bill, it's tricky this way but you can still date and see what happens, she might not find anyone nicer than you.

I'm watching first dates, anyone else?

I seemed to have bagged us a dirty weekend away Grin.

OhWesternWind · 20/06/2013 21:50

I'm watching it too Scrazy. There are a lot of scary women on there. I do not look like them when I go on a date. Maybe that's where I'm going wrong Grin

DD's been on the website to see if there is anyone suitable for me Grin. I'd rather die than be filmed on national TV.

JulietteMontague · 20/06/2013 23:12

Well MeetUp was fun. I do wish I'd had my phone with me for reportage though, the first thing the leader did was produce a dead bat out of a plastic bag. Lots of polite nods. I spent the first half hour wondering what else might be in there. It did kind of bond the group and I'm doing another one on Monday

So whilst I was scrabbling around in the woods, Wisey is all heels and casino and going to update soon.

OWW step away from the shagging builder. Or not Grin

Kirstywirsty · 20/06/2013 23:31

Wine I just love your Glasgow turns of phrase .. Grin

Wine My pal from the midlands uses 'fousty', 'ous' and 'fouter' regularly in sentences but then she is totally immersed in west of Scotland :)

Kirstywirsty · 20/06/2013 23:41

I would say 'bawbag' instead
