Evening, thread!

Sorry I missed out on yesterday's chit chat - I spent the whole day unbelievably hung over. Set-up guy from Saturday was nice enough, but nothing exciting, and not really my type. I am trying to look beyond my type, for all the good it's done me in the past, but there was no banter, and I really need someone who can make me laugh.

And I've heard nothing from the Sailor since he cancelled on Friday night.

Lubes, shame about Mr Flirt and the ED, perhaps a bit more time?

Snape, hope the arm is ok. Glad you're enjoying your holiday in spite of everything!

Hello everyone else, and especially all the newbies! Welcome!

Lorna - once you wiggle your secret mound at someone, it's just a mound. The mystery, alas, is gone.

There you go Bant, once again repressing us with your misogynistic views. If we want to wave our mounds at all and sundry we will and we're damned if you're going to tell us that spoils the mystery. We are bequiling earth works, hear us roar.

Lorna would that count as casual though?

i have a plan B if the hot scandinavian i have been e-mailing does not follow up contact next week as promised....but i shall not reveal until it is executed. it sounds feasible. aside from that, i think my budget is preventing me from chasing up any more options for now - nights out are expensive!

@ Flipper

good call re "type" there! if its not happening its not happening.

i think sometimes i have done the whole "well maybe i should be more open to X", but its horrid and unnatural having to "force" liking someone.

i tend to have a lot less "goodwill" towards dates i haven't natural chemistry with!

Don't get me wrong - feel free to wave your mound wherever you want. But by definition, once it's been waved around, it's no longer a secret. Especially if it's roaring (you may want to see a doctor about that)

Hi everyone
Sorry if this is telling you all something that you all knew but I put a profile on Match on one of their free 3 day trials, cancelled it last night before charges kicked in and was given a month's free subscription - worth knowing maybe. Back to lurking

Grr. I think Mr 3DD has a female visitor. It would sooooooooo not work with him and I, but goddamnit, he's hot.

aaaah. 3dd is three doors down. Gotcha.

I'd been assuming he had moobs

His sister, Flipper ? Or are they cavorting ?

Flipper924 · 01/07/2013 21:26

Oh no. Not a moob in sight.

Whyyyyyyy doesn't he looooovvvee meeeeee?! Sob.

Does anyone else get these ridiculous crushes on people they barely know?
Wetfish me, please.

KinNora · 01/07/2013 21:32

Perhaps he does love you, he's just fighting it.

No, I don't usually get crushes but for the first time evah I found myself fancying an orthopodaedic surgeon on Friday. He's beautiful. Sigh. I went a bit unnecessary.

I can't tell that much, Nora, but the same car has visited for overnight stays on a couple of occasions now. The last time was the last time he had a kid free weekend, and the kids went back to their Mum's tonight, and there the car is again. And he's slow to respond to my texts because he's not using his shag phone much at the moment (though how I've ended up on the shag phone I've no idea).

wetfish flipper

(now go back to staring at his door through binoculars Grin)

ps i think its natural and healthy to think "i find this person attractive"? as long as you're not obsessing over them to the extent that you aren't getting out there looking for other options...

lurkinglorna · 01/07/2013 21:37

oh...

...quickest way to get rid of a crush...

its when you go on a date with them and the fantasy collapses Sad their beautiful eyes seem somewhat vacant, they aren't good at conversation, they moan too much...

Thanks, Lorna, and don't worry, I'm looking out for alternatives. Am involved in very flirty messaging with the Wedding Snogger currently.

Can I join your quiche? Have been lurking on the last few threads and enjoying the tales of the secret mound.

Flipper924 · 01/07/2013 21:41

Ah, but Mr 3DD is funny, and sexy, and hooooot.

Did I mention he's hot?

Though he does look as though he could do with a shower at times.

Jeez, I hadn't really fancied anyone for years until April. Now it's any man who smiles as he walks past.

Okay. Date set with Aruba for next Tuesday, a week tomorrow.

The Married one keeps wanting to meet up, I'm being firm and saying no. She's actually really interesting and funny, just miserable about the marriage. Sounds like it's not fixable from the way her husband acted, but still I'm not going to get involved, she just needs someone to talk to.
