Who's going to start dating thread No57?

[akaWisey]

Or am I going to be 'one'

Hi Kin a bit of common or Wodehouse never did anyone any harm . I've pm you

It's even worse than a twitching twinkle, Twinny, I was like all ' oooooh I really liiiiikkke him. Oooooh he's so sweeeeeeet' - 'twas vomitous. I need to get a fricking grip.

Love the dresses, you fox. I have a hankering for a Westwood Anglomania dress but I don't think that's going to happen (unless I've won Euromillions )

Juliette - I'm versatile, I can do both

@ Westwood Anglomania, on my wishlist.

So are loo updates just for first dates, or should we expect one from OWW tonight?

I'll probably see CheshireCat tonight. Not sure if I'm in the mood to make the effort..

Thank you all for your lovely birthday wishes. I have spent the day mostly in the garden eating cake. You will also all be pleased to know that dog is in fine fettle, apart from his allergies, for which he can have more piriton than I've been giving him [bad owner smiley].

Have an amazing holiday, Snape.

Dresses are lovely, WFF, glad you're feeling it again.

Why are you not excited about seeing Cheshirecat, Bant? You really liked her until she was too busy for a while.

OWW, have fun!

bant no bad thing, she may decide to make an effort herself.

What juliette said, flipper. I was doing all the running, initiating every call, making all the conversation.. She would indicate she liked me but never made any effort.

It was only once I stopped chasing for a few days (not game playing, I'd just lost a major portion of my interest) that she started chasing back a bit.

She's very good looking. She has a gaggle of men surrounding her when I've seen her at events. I'm not a goose. If she wants to talk to me she can come talk to me. If not, her loss.

I want this to be the title of my autobiography

Twinny, you freak

Bant some women ( in fact some people ) that good looking become a bit spoiled and expect just to wander around being adored...

at Flipper 's day

Haven't you said, though, Bant, that you tend to lose interest in a girl who's too keen? Perhaps it's just the same for her. I don't think it has to be game playing, just that there's more of an intrigue if someone isn't chasing you. Hope you have a good time, anyway, and keep us updated!

When are you seeing Talent Show, Nora?

Hopefully very soon Flipper

( I've handled some baaaaaadd feet today Flipper - you made a good career choice )

at bad feet. I can barely look at my own some days.

However, I always used to find myself on a stand next to the podiatrists at open days. I used to think fondly of it as 'foot and mouth corner'.

I didn't think things through properly (for a change)

Arf at 'Foot and Mouth Corner' ( probably shouldn't laugh too much as we'd probably be in 'Bastards Corner' with the physios )

Can I join? As my nn suggests, dating I am no good at! :o

Do I give a quick intro? Well here it is anyway-

I am dating a guy atm, have been for a couple of months. He is the guy I was hung up on from college after dating him for a few months then too. It ended then because I was turning into an alcoholic basically! He has since asked to see me on a few occasions over the years but I only became available recently (for a few reasons, not just being in a relationship).

He is defensive, and distant to stay defensive. He is not an open person and scared of commitment and admits that. He shows all affection physically, but I don't see him often and I am insecure without verbal reassurance. I find I become closed with him despite not being like that normally, because he is closed.

If it was anyone else I wouldn't bother. But, sad as it is, he is my teen crush.

I have been asked out by two other guys this weekend, both of whom are far more suited to me in different ways, and who both show a lot of interest. Problem is I can't give up my fantasy of being with (we'll call him) Mr Distant.

BTW, Mr Distant does try on occasion to open up, bless him, but it is nothing like I am used to.

At welcome to the thread. If only there were a magic pill for exes we still think about. Without wanting to appear harsh, I think it's him who isn't very good at this. So meanwhile, I would go out with your dates this weekend, enjoy them for the men they are and see what happens.

Hello SaR ( can't quite bring myself to call you 'Suck' ) I wish I could you give you words of wisdom based in my own intolerance of Men Who Are Bad For Me but that I live in a biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig glasshouse so I'll just say Mr Distant sounds like bad news ( unless he's actively wants to change his mindset/behaviour )

Thanks :) I think we both are Juliette
I am used to Mr Needies, Mr DeclareUndyingLoveAfterOneMonth, and Mr You'llDoWhatISayWhenISay

So Mr Distant's way of going about things just seem odd to me. He messages me every day mostly but it cay only be a few messages. This is normal for other people apparently, but not for me!! Plus his messages are very 'what you up to' day to day chat. No miss yous or anything. Again I have never had anything like it, and am very insecure!

I have said no so far to the dates because I am exclusive with Mr Distant so it would feel wrong.

haha Kin, call me Sux, then it looks like I am hip and down with the kids

We are both early 20s so it feels unfair to put big commitment in his head just cos that is my situation (single mum so 'settling down' is how I am already living)

So, is there anything I should know about this thread or the people?

Yes SaR, you have to put your credit card number on here with expiry date and security code. Just for 5 minutes, for verification

Ooooh. Don't really, will you? I will be sooooo banned.

And rich, obvs

hahaha, you can have my 8 quid if you want Proper!! :o

Bit late to the Party. Happy Birthday Flipper

Have a fab holiday Snape

Wonders how OWW is getting on...
