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. You are the prize - they should be trying to impress you
   
7. If it's not fun, stop
   
8. loo update is mandatory

Morning Raen, sounds like good woo! I say meet Mr Jazz, after all, there may be absolutely nothing there, and then you'll have nothing to worry about. If you don't though, you'll be wondering 'what if...'

[Kirstywirsty]

wine had the chat with FoF last night about Devon .. He is scoping it out to see what types of job are available this has been a long term goal and he said he was forcing himself to continue to look into it but also said that plans change and that he loves me .. I told him that I loved him back .. All is good

When are you heading back to Scotland ?

[kittykat10]

I agree with the distance thing I only go as far as 30 min drive and I think they should come to you first as well.

[Secretservice]

Morning, yous lot!

Was worried the thread would disintegrate without my input - seems I was wrong

So at all the warm and fuzzies, including WWF herself!

Not yet got my head around all the new names but will get there, if you could all slow down a bit!

Finally, which of you muppets has stolen my share of the woo? And no, a Marathon won't be an adequate replacement

[kittykat10]

Ok panic set in he just asked me out for the weekend , this is where I get all panicky I really want to see him again but worry.
Need sensible people to talk sense to me

[dontcallmehon]

Morning all. Just joined Match and not getting much from it so far, but lots from POF? POF man has not been in touch to arrange date 4, so I'm reading The Rules and refusing to contact him.

Hello everyone, especially the new posters.

Penguin I'm sorry, I know precisely how shite that is, it gives you no say in what happens in the relationship - I think that's why it's such an unsatisfactory way to end things.

Kirsty that must've been a real shock, I hope that's all a long way down the line - it does seem like he's re-evaluating it as a result of being with you.

Flipper I'm glad things are going well with MA, you do seem quite cautious, hopefully he'll turn out to be one of the good uns.

Juliette have a fabulous time with Dutchie x

WFF you old romantic you ! (What about Catweazle ? Although if you end up with him, I'm prepared not to say that in my speech)

Mwwwahhhh to everyone else.

Update as follows -

Stream of drunken texts and selfies from Hot Tub last night, he has apologised this morning - I've told him he has nothing to apologise for except the necklace and the cowboy hat, that's right, a cowboy hat. I don't fancy him in the slightest but I'll meet him for a drink.

GSM man with the unfortunate surname (think STD symptom - not Derek Discharge) still texting on a daily basis - I suspect I'm going to be Too Much for him in person but we'll see.

New message from posh boy architect type on okc, I think I may be too northern for him but I shall investigate further.

Nothing more from NI Fracture Man - phew, this is ultimately a relief as he even looks like Spud and my knickers falling off on first meeting might give him the wrong impression.

Aaaaannnnnd,

Communist Leader has replied to me ! (delay supposedly due to him being in Berlin on a beer drinking break) . Amusing coherent message, likeable, no 'lol's, no emoticons, no 'xxx', sexy name, he wants a heated debate on the merits of Monty Python and The Holy Grail vs Life of Brian. Obviously a man of such utter magnificence will disappear immediately after I've messaged him back but I'm going to enjoy the brief glimmer of hope for a moment.

[Flipper934]

Richie Rash, Brian Blister, Ian Itch...

Woo is getting you, Nora. Enjoy!

[scrazy]

I don't normally do long distance either but the current is 60 odd miles and is happy to do the journey, so far.

[KinNora]

Pete Purulent ? Nigel Nadger Swelling ? Nope.

Not even a whiff of woo Flipper (that's ok, it'd only scare me if there was)

[AWarmFuzzyFuture]

He's a bit too fat for Catweazle Kin, but as regards dress sense it's spot on (I paint an alluring picture don't I?

[Bant]

Travelin - I don't get why you're so upset about him giving his actual email address to you. Men are generally more open about giving these things out, but maybe he liked you and didn't want to be logging onto the site to send emails through it? I don't think it's a hanging offence.

And his name may have been 'pimpernel' ?

[kittykat10]

I'd personally rather have his own email than the site one may be it coz I'm not very trusting

[Bant]

Colin Coldsore?

[AWarmFuzzyFuture]

I think Bant's right about buses...Just got asked out by another OKC bloke who I've been chatting to on and off.

I felt a teensy bit conflicted but said yes nevertheless.

I am planning to stop off at NCG's over the bank holiday I am booking myself into a b&b. (He lives a fair distance)

Ave Maria

[KinNora]

Brian Bubo ?

Twinny you well fancy Catweazle, is he aware of the foxy whirlwind which is about to hit him ?

Travelin - what if his email address is 'pimpmysnack' ? I would marry him for that, I love that site.

[kittykat10]

Do you know your dates last names ie on second date would you expect to know

[lurkinglorna]

dr pashing and i pashed....in his BED last night.

was alright. this really is a "good way to have go casual". he's good company, caring, attentive, and bought me chocolate and was trying to cook me beans on toast, drunk.

but feelings there are zilch? (on my part, and on his part, there doesn't seem to be any move to escalate things more serious - i get the vibe he quite enjoys being the bachelor) might be nice to have a "reliable lover in town" if i ever come back.

concert was good, ex sexted me in break then loads of romantic sentimental songs came on so got all wistful.

ps classic naked line as I took my top off...."Congratulations....on THOSE." why thank you Dr

[AWarmFuzzyFuture]

Aw Lorna that's a nice compliment

[lurkinglorna]

its like romeo and juliet WFF

[MsApprehension]

Lorna I'm going to be angling for a congratulations next time I take my top off in front of somebody now. I'm going to do it all "ta-DAH!" and if no "congratulations" is forthcoming I'll be devastated

[MsApprehension]

Someone from POF who I think seems nice and flirty and surprisingly hot just asked me out for this weekend (YAY)

But...

My hair and face desperately need the attentions of a professional before I see anyone and I'm not booked in for chopping/threading until next week (BOO)
And he is a personal trainer (THE HORROR)
