[AWarmFuzzyFuture]

The Rules

1. Develop a thick skin;
2. Do not invest emotionally too soon;
3. It's all BS until it actually happens;
4. Trust your gut instinct;
5. People vanishing, lying and being generally weird to you are not your fault
6. They should be trying to impress you
7. If it's not fun, stop

48, whoop whoop!

All going great .. Holding hands on the table after a bit of hand touching .. Off to the pub now ( managed to stretch an Indian buffet out to 3 hours!!)

whoop whoop kirsty its lovely when you don't notice how much time has passed!

winefiend DAMMIT DON'T TRIGGER MY NUTELLA CRAVINGS

Go Kirsty - geddin' there !

Flipper not that arsed about Hugh to be honest, I'm saving Indy and the Temple of Doom for when I have a few quiet minutes to myself

Nutella addicts, pah, I could fair go a jar of Skippy peanut butter though, phwoarrrr.

It is to Sunpat what George Clooney is to Nicholas Witchell Wine - bloody lovely.

is for all my fellow daters staying in on a Saturday night. ONE LOVE.

FoF is lovely .. I am so going to struggle with sending him home

That cat's a talented dancer Lorna

Wine I like a bit of Clooney but I only fancy Depp as Captain Jack. I worry what this says about my psyche.

Kirsty I think, personally, that you owe it to those of us on the thread who are some way from getting it onnnnn with anyone to sex him to death.

Hope you did as you were told, Kirsty, and that FoF is now a mere husk.

Another vote for Depp as Cap'n Jack only. Any other time and he's just a bit creepy.

Hugh sends his regards, ladies. I might see him again at some point, I'll need to sleep on it.

Woken up early. I miss him.

Wonders if Kirsty is still on her date

Good morning 48, missing them is shite isn't it ? Are you going to disabuse him of the notion that you wouldn't marry him ?

I bet Kirsty is still on her date, excellent.

Good morrrrniiing, thread!

I too suspect Kirsty is still on an extended date - jolly good show, that woman!

Awww, 48 so pleased for you and R&R

0h, it's you Flipper I barely recognised you! Have to say I'm with Nora on both Hugh and Nutella, give me peanut butter over both!

Hope you're ok OWW

So, I'm in need of a distraction strategy before I do something stupid and send a third unanswered text! Loads of contact with SJ before and immediately after Wed's date - mainly initiated by him. Fri more sporadic - but promise to phone after we both finished late shifts - I fell asleep at 2ish - woke up to missed call alert sent at 3.30am!

Anyway, text back first thing, no reply, nor to a second one much later. Now all I can do is wait I suppose, but I hate waiting! I just want to know, 'are you playing silly beggars, have you changed your mind.... '

I can take most things, but silence and being ignored duz me haed in!

Please come talk to me

Kin Keeping my head

SS Ball firmly in his court. It is tough. I know.

Ok Secret any chance that he might be having a lie in if he was awake at 3.30 ? ( is that the kind of talking to you wanted ? - it's a bit early for crash carping )

You are well insouciant 48 I doff my (wedding) hat to you

Morning all!

Have been on hols for a week with kids and grandparents, better than expected helped by sunny British seaside weather

Can't name check all...

secret try stay strong re texting... It's hard but a good friend once said to me 'don't be the chaser' am crap at it haha

Oww sounds stressful re alpha, really hope it doesn't hurt you, sounds like he is trying to protect you, very considerate.

wine your lying down antics make me laugh! Hope it's clears soon and your out n about again!

kirsty whoop

Dating slow.. But have been away I guess. Saw FP last sat for a lovely 3rd date - still no snog bar a lip peck on leaving. He said - text me if you like from your holiday, and maybe we could meet again when you get back, we discussed briefly our availability... I said feel free to text me too, anyway, no text, so day 6 (insouciance) sent him a chirpy postcard type text, no reply. Sent him another yesterday morning saying was on say home and to let me know if he like to meet again.. No reply so guess that's it!

Shame fancied him, am crap at making first move. It was him always saying he wanted to see me again and we had a really lovely date - I like him.. Want to snog him!

Might leave it til tonight then send one more text with a question - 2 texts in a week and it was him suggesting we meet again! He's prob met someone else...

Thoughts?

Anyway won't kill me, just a shame. Have a couple of other options floating around somewhere and haven't been on site for over a week..

Any kind of talking Nora - while my fingers are busy typing on here it stops them getting up to mischief elsewhere!

I know he had a busy day yesterday, so trying hard to push away the 'but a reply would have taken seconds of his time' thoughts because rationally I know lots of people don't think that way, but....

And it's been one bloody date! I'm nowt but a gobbin!

48 is the moving in together a definite, timescaled plan, or a wouldn't be nice if we could, sort of thing?

Hello New I think your instincts are right, look elsewhere. It's a bugger especially when you got on well and you've found a glimmer of attractive snogability amongst the no hopers but this happens a LOT, onwards and upwards.
