Smile spangled sleep well!

spangledboots · 03/08/2013 01:29

You can all pick it apart for me in the morning!

(didn't let him put an ice cube down my bra...!!!)

Flipper934 · 03/08/2013 06:46

Well, that'll taken the shine off it, Bant. He's like a brother or a camp, motherly best friend? (I've no objection to being compared to Princess Leia, though).

How are you feeng about it this morning, Spangled?

Flipper934 · 03/08/2013 07:01

*that's

lurkinglorna · 03/08/2013 08:05

Found someone married, or at the very least seriously partnered up Confused

Got my first insult "why didn't you reply to MEEE!" e-mail

On reflection, think I'll still give slouchy guy a miss for 2nd meet. If I was on a date with someone who was actually looking at me and thinking Confused at my mannerisms rather than being excited about seeing me I'd be mortified There'll be a woman who is excited about meeting him. I'll clear the field for her.

Romanceometer not running high at the moment Grin

Flipper and Spangled Two dates with two men that you both would be happy to see again Smile Maybe.

Lorna Your bloke sounds like he was very nervous, first date jitters?

Kirstywirsty · 03/08/2013 08:59

Morning all .. Where is snape with the emotional pizza update!?

spangled and flipper all sounds promising

Snapespeare · 03/08/2013 09:10

the pizza shop point blank refused to spell 'i love you' in peppers, instead providing a pizza dough heart that looked rubbish & i ate while waiting for the bus. as you were. pffffft.

lubeybooby · 03/08/2013 09:33

Dear MsCellophane

The PM's you are sending to people with your detective work are merely telling them something I've never hidden, and that was once openly on a dating profile of mine (OKC) back in the early thread days. I even posted the link a few times quite aware that people would see and take note. I'm not daft.

You're factually incorrect about a couple of details and so I'd appreciate it if you would kindly stop spreading what you think is salacious gossip or something shocking and ask me about it instead if you are curious. I'll happily supply the correct information and then it really becomes a lot more boring.

Same goes for anyone else who has received one of these PM's - if you have any questions feel free to ask me directly. You'll find me most affable and open. Just not that open on the dating thread itself, but in person or via PM, yes, no problem.

Thank you,

Lubes.

OhWesternWind · 03/08/2013 09:38

Don't have any questions Lubey as none of it matters in the slightest. What matters is that you're a wonderful, positive, warm, supportive person and worth a hundred of anyone who thinks that spreading gossip behind someone's back is an acceptable thing to do.

You're fab.

KinNora · 03/08/2013 09:43

Absobloodyfuckinglutely.

lubeybooby · 03/08/2013 09:44

Thank you, OWW. You and Kin are just so lovely, I am really touched. I'll write properly later but for now, in a hurry... but THANK YOU xxx Flowers

Kirstywirsty · 03/08/2013 10:00

lubey have you reported to mumsnet hq?

Kirstywirsty · 03/08/2013 10:01

snape I am sorry to hear that .. Why not just do it yourself .. You'd do a better job anyway

OhWesternWind · 03/08/2013 10:04

I've reported it Kirsty and I think other people have too.

TigsytheTiger · 03/08/2013 10:04

lubey received nothing but to be honest what you do or don't choose to share is entirely up to you and no one else! you're a star and onwards and upwards with Mr Flirt Grin

TigsytheTiger · 03/08/2013 10:07

Ow snape , homemade pizza it is, or maybe just a whisper in his ear, he is SO going to say it back!

OhWesternWind · 03/08/2013 10:20

I'd go for the whisper I think Snape. And boo hiss to the crappy unromantic pizza people!

Well all sorts of dates last night - what do you think of them this morning Flipper and Spangled? I think you've made the right decision Lorna - no point dragging it out if he's not for you.

Flipper934 · 03/08/2013 10:38

I've not received anything, Lubes, but then I quite frankly can't understand why anyone would want to behave like that. Sorry you've been the victim of such ridiculous behaviour though.

I'm liking MA more this morning, in a warm, friendly manner. He reminds me a lot of some of my male friends, which is a good thing, as I've always said that I'd want to find someone who's like one of them. We seem to have similar values and senses of humour. However, it's only one date, so I'm not getting carried away (I am so getting carried away).

mercury7 · 03/08/2013 10:43

it sounds rather 'infant school' Lubey...sort of baby troll behaviourConfused

Flipper934 · 03/08/2013 10:49

I must work on a few better conversation topics, though. I'm not convinced that the relationship between HPV and throat cancer (and the hypothesised role of oral sex) is a good first date topic...

mercury7 · 03/08/2013 11:02

that would be somewhere in the top 5 of worst 1st date topics Flipper :o

TigsytheTiger · 03/08/2013 11:06

What would be the other four?!?

TigsytheTiger · 03/08/2013 11:08

Didn't someone on this thread once mention a first date who talked about the sex noises his ex made? that must be in there!!

mercury7 · 03/08/2013 11:18

I cant think of the other 4, I'm crap at conversation! :o
