Whoo I have a date today Grin

He isn't exactly my type physically I think, but he seems as tho he can hold a conversation and hasn't once said hey babe how r u?? So I think that's a good start.

The only think is I hate having to travel for dates, I think the guy should come to me! Anyway I'm going to try not to get drunk for a change Confused I'm terrible at dates.

I have also been speaking to a few other guys that seem to keep coming and going and I don't like that. I feel like its rude that they always do that. Especially when you can see they are online and they lie and say sorry babe I havnt been online!

So that makes them rude and liars but as the good looking ones always seem to have these crap attitudes then I'm not sure if I should reply or not?? Confused

Rubbish no hey babes is a winner -being ignorant isn't - don't waste your time.

Willy did not get to put his costume on tonight...but it was a nice date in a beautiful location with an attractive woman. There seemed to be at least the start of a mutual attraction,but outside the the restaurant I said "I have had a lovely evening and I would love to see you again". She replied "We'll see.We'll keep in touch via the mail." So not sure what she really thinks.Anyway no point trying to (over) analyse her reaction. I will wait for her mail and if I have not received it by tomorrow noon Ivwill send her one asking for a second date.

The only people I am seeing this weekend are,Bob, Roley,Muck,Scoop, Peppa and George.

ordinarybloke I've read these threads for aaaaages, and love to see men posting. But PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY, don't call your penis 'willy' Grin

ordinarybloke · 24/10/2013 19:44

Sorry,thats what having a 3yo DS does to you.

PaulineWhatsername · 24/10/2013 19:48

Rubbish - what Ham said.

Had date 3 of my 5 date week today (going to stop at 3 for this week as CBA). It was with Posh Bloke - surprisingly attractive and seems to have money but was wearing what looked like an old car coat, like Del Boy used to wear in Only Fools and Horses Confused. Had decent casual gear underneath - nice jeans, shirt. Some chemistry and some spark, but think he might be desperate to be in a relationship again - his last one only ended last month. But he may have his uses Wink

I realised today that it never occurs to me that they won't want to see me for a second date because I'm so drop dead gorgeous I'll be devastated when one of them doesn't want to see me again Grin

ordinarybloke · 24/10/2013 20:16

Dancing woman has just messaged me-she did not enough of a spark,so five becomes four.

ordinarybloke · 24/10/2013 20:16

Missed out the word "feel".

Hormonalhell · 24/10/2013 20:28

Oh well onwards and upwards Ordinarybloke!

Mr Gemini gone strange on me today, hardly text and now ignoring me. Not sure what I've done Confused

Poffedoff · 24/10/2013 21:49

Oh hormonal...that sucks Sad

What on earth is it with these guys??

Hormonalhell · 24/10/2013 21:54

Looks like another one's bitten the dust Hmm

Poffed not a clue! Looks like he's blocked me on what's app too Hmm

dontcallmehon · 24/10/2013 21:57

Sorry to hear that, hormonal. Dating is carp sometimes Sad

dontcallmehon · 24/10/2013 21:58

Obviously that should say crap rather than carp!!!

Hamwidgeandcheps · 24/10/2013 22:05

Don't let it upset you. In the past I would have been a bit hurt by being blocked but now I think ok fine you've lost interest at least you are no longer wasting my time. Some people have the courtesy to explain but some don't and they are no great loss. Same goes for the ones that dip in and out and put you on the back burner - I am wise to it Grin

Hormonalhell · 24/10/2013 22:33

He wasn't that great looking either Hmm I was having doubts myself today but I'm still peeved I'm the one that's been dumped.....ah well

Poffedoff · 24/10/2013 22:39

Hormonal I am baffled... I would be incandescent with rage if he had done that to me without any explanation... guess that's because I haven't developed the thick skin that's obviously needed for this OD game!

Pof guy seems to have calmed down a bit with the semi-pornographic texts, I'm putting it down to a case of back pedalling a bit after opening up so much.

We'll see...

Poffedoff · 24/10/2013 22:41

Ordinarybloke... Sorry to hear it didn't work out. It's not easy when there's chemistry for you but not for them... at least she didn't string you along though, leaves you free to concentrate on the next one!

dontcallmehon · 24/10/2013 22:46

Gave my number to guy on match. He texted, asking what I was up to and I said I had a friend coming over for wine.

He then suggested that he should come to mine with a bottle and asked when I was free!

I said that my house was my sanctuary and I would need to know him first. He said 'yes, you might lock me in! ;-)when are you free x' we have arranged next Sunday - but does he sound dodgy? I don't invite strangers into my home.

dontcallmehon · 24/10/2013 22:48

Obviously we're meeting somewhere other than my house! Just wondered if he was worth meeting at all...

Hormonalhell · 24/10/2013 23:01

Dontcallme he might be a tight ass who wants a cheap night in...don't go there Grin

Poffed yes I think he definitely back pedalling, when are you going to meet him?

Yes I'm a bit fed up but tbh there was something about him that wasn't quite right and so I'm glad I found out he's a twat now rather than 6 months on.

I messaging next one as we speak on Plenty Of Options... I mean Plenty of Fish Grin

Good for you hormonal and you're right... you're well rid.

I'm meeting him again Monday night, normal texting has resumed, he probably picked up on my (not so subtle) hints that I wasn't going to reciprocate the sexts... I'll see if he has anything to say about it on Monday...

Dontcallme, how does he come across generally when you're chatting? From what you've posted I'd say massive red flag unless you're looking for a one nighter.

The bottle of wine at your house wouldn't impress me. It snacks of can't be arsed Hmm

rubbishfamily333 · 25/10/2013 00:38

The after date update.

He was very sweet, quite nervous, very skinny (I Like big and muscley) not my type atall. He payed for my cab home! No one has done that for me for years Shock

Why oh why do I never fancy the sweet ones?? Not sure if I should see him again or not?
