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

Thanks, Bant and Stranger, that's encouraging. (Apart from that 97% statistic!)

Pomegranatenoir · 16/06/2013 20:49

Thanks for the advice. Think I will wait for him to get in touch. I know he won't and then I won't have to have Ny kind of conversation with him. In his head he honestly thinks this is all my doing!!!

Chatting to 4 men on pof. Making me laugh. This is a good thing. Exh really doesn't feature anymore. I am making some serious progress!!!

When's Juliette back? I have to admit to being a little bit worried about her. Not her safety, but her emotional well-being. Jules, if you're out there, a stranger on the internet is worried about you Hmm Grin

Bant · 16/06/2013 21:05

I was just thinking the same thing, Stumped

Juliette - let us know you're okay?

OhWesternWind · 16/06/2013 21:21

Yes, me too, been thinking about you a lot Juliette

Pom that bloke sounds like a right waste of space. How could it possibly be your fault? Having a laugh with some other (attractive?) men sounds like the perfect antidote.

How much Toblerone is left Bant?

And Moan - the L word you say??? Will have to dust my hat off ...

Pomegranatenoir · 16/06/2013 21:25

Yes I'm also worrried about juliette. Can anyone contact her via other means??

OhWesternWind · 16/06/2013 21:33

I think that came from Statmeister Bant, Broken

I've had twenty dates now, leading to one seven month relationship, one five date fling, one three date thing (both finished by me) and the nice Alpha Scot thing I hope is just starting off. All the rest were no spark (on my side at least). So that's an 80% no spark rate for me. If you discount the three date and five date guys, neither of whom I was totally bowled over by, it's up to 90%. But all those dates were good fun apart from the Creepy Italian and Bitumen Man!

Bant · 16/06/2013 21:35

oooh I'd forgotten the toblerone...

TortillasAndChocolate · 16/06/2013 21:43

I have some tough decisions to make now. Cup of tea and biscuits or glass of wine and chocolate? I can't decide.

I'm bored on POF tonight. No one is really doing anything for me. I think maybe I'm too tired and should log out until tomorrow.

JulietteMontague · 16/06/2013 21:43

Thank you everyone for asking about me, I haven't been on the thread since yesterday morning so hadn't seen all the posts but I'm touched.

I have spent most of today travelling, am now home in UK. Got a different flight. I'm ok. I am also seriously pissed off, had a very crap day yesterday which feels like a lifetime ago.

I will probably only post about fluffy bunnies and cute puppies for a while.

Bant · 16/06/2013 21:50

Juliette - glad you're okay, or at least safe.

Fluffy bunnies are always a safe topic. Hope you're alright - if you want to talk, let us know, on here or privately

48howdidthathappen · 16/06/2013 21:52

Pleased to hear you are home Juliette Sorry you are pissed off.

Bring on the bunnies and puppies Smile

pornstarmartini · 16/06/2013 21:58

You lot have been busy. I'm going to try and catch up. Ex was here seeing the kids so I've been out and about in the real world. Taking me all my willpower to not message PC Arse and ask why he's decided to totally ignore me. Been having a chat with a couple of people on POF but no one that lights my fire. Quick Skype with Mr Sky but he's not mentioned meeting.

pornstarmartini · 16/06/2013 21:58

Welcome back juliette x

ColinButterfly · 16/06/2013 21:59

Hello well I started fishing on POF a few weeks ago, met up with a guy twice now (put out on the first date, oh dear) but I have to say, he's not forthcoming with texts which leads me to think its just sex. Oh dear! Need to learn the rules. If he ignores my last text do I write him off?

pornstarmartini · 16/06/2013 22:01

Oh that doesn't sound great
