Good luck hormonal Smile

Looking forward to a loo-update!

Poffedoff · 02/11/2013 17:00

Well after a couple of not-so-pleasant days of waiting to see pof guy we met up last night... We had been texting as usual but mine were far fewer than his and definitely more distant... it was pretty awkward at first tbh... He had already apologised/explained a good bit by text, wanted to talk on the phone but I fobbed him off...
Anyhooo... He explained it well enough to satisfy me that he's not shagging around.. He seems to genuinely care for me and did a good job at reassuring me that he was serious about us... I told him I wasn't sure where this was going or for how long but I needed to know that I can trust him while we're together...
I'm pretty happy to leave it at that for now...see how things progress and try not to overthink... It's gonna be hard as I'm naturally suspicious as a person anyway...

Stupidhead · 02/11/2013 17:23

Oh I don't know. Tall manager keeps chatting and texting and he's a bit presumptuous. We're meeting tomorrow and he's already talking about our next date and the one after. And he wears cardi's, Paul smith ones but I'm used to leathers and rock tshirts :( I think he's a bit too metrosexual for me. I will meet him though.

Stupidhead · 02/11/2013 17:25

How long or how many dates have you ha with him poffed? Sorry if I missed your answer. And good luck hormonal!

Poffedoff · 02/11/2013 17:47

Lots and lots and lots Stupidhead! That's the thing that bowled me over... I've known him since may!! I will admit that I continued online for quite a bit after we first met, he was aware of that and was still on there himself... It started as a very casual, almost FWB situation so the lines were very blurred... I deleted my profile end of August, I didn't exactly tell him I was going to but knew he'd notice seeing as he was still there.. We've seen eachother pretty much once a week (less during the summer) since we met...

Do you think your guy is too much too soon perhaps? Nice to know he's keen but maybe a little too much so?

Stupidhead · 02/11/2013 18:06

He is too much too soon but I really don't think I fancy him! My ex was good looking and it's hard to take a step down, but hey, he might be ok. He's 45 but looks wrinkly!

And I see, if you've been seeing each other that long then you have every right to be miffed. I thought it was early days in which case is have said you were in the wrong!

Poffedoff · 02/11/2013 18:20

Best to wait and see Stupidhead... It too hard to judge until you meet up...
Yeah it has been that long! it moved along pretty slowly and we were both extremely slow to admit feelings were changing at first... Had a good chat about where we were going and agreed we were exclusive... Then I see his profile reappear on pof! I'm pretty wary now, of course. Will see how it pans out ... Where you going with manager for your date?

Queenofthedrivensnow · 02/11/2013 18:52

Ok so 3rd date tonight with gap yah -who I met on pof FYI Grin
Having a big tidy!

Poffedoff · 02/11/2013 19:13

Oh Queen... Have a great time. Was gap yah the slow burner? Hope theres plenty of snogging tonight if so!

Queenofthedrivensnow · 02/11/2013 19:18

Yep that's him. I need to add that even if this goes nowhere. Gap yah has not yet made me feel
Shit. In hindsight hot and cold man made me feel very shit a lot of the time. He made contact recently and I've seen him about on pof. I didn't respond. Twat. See in getting tougher!

Hormonalhell · 02/11/2013 20:10

Well I'm back....was just a quick meet up as we both had things on tonight. I thought it went ok but he did prattle on and it was hard to get a word in edgeways which I found a bit annoying. I did like him though.

20 minutes later received a text saying he felt no spark Hmm

Ah well....onwards and bloody upwards...

Poffedoff · 02/11/2013 20:23

Sorry Hormonal Sad

That's disappointing but you're better off... Nothing more off putting than a guy who talks about himself constantly...

Any others in the pipeline?

dontcallmehon · 02/11/2013 20:34

I like geeky guy again!

Hormonalhell · 02/11/2013 22:01

Yes Poffed got a date next Saturday with a guy I was talking to last year (we never met) he reappeared said he'd had a relationship n so we going out this time. He pretty keen and has been trying few days to get me to go out so we shall see Grin

Dontcallme thought u always liked him have I missed something ?

ladygoingGaga · 02/11/2013 22:12

No loo updates from queen or man
hopefully the 'tidy up' was worth it queen Grin !!
hormonal a bloke who doesn't let you get a word in is a loser in my eyesWink

Hormonalhell · 02/11/2013 22:25

Ha thanks Gaga Grin it's always a bit demoralising when somebody isn't attracted to you though. You kind of start to think 'what's the point?'

ladygoingGaga · 02/11/2013 22:43

yeah for a few seconds hormonal but then you dust yourself off and move on Smile
remember you are the prize, his loss Grin
still waiting for loo updates boys and girlsGrin

OneDayWhenIGrowUp · 02/11/2013 22:59

So went out with the housemate guy last night....(well he came along on group night out; I spent most of my time with him though)...very successful night.....in fact went straight from his to work this morning Blush

Stupidhead · 02/11/2013 23:01

Tall manager is texting a lot, he has an electric blanket..isn't it just old ladies that have those? Also texting an even taller rock dj..that could work :)

Poffedoff · 02/11/2013 23:17

Nice one Oneday! Could this one be a runner?

Hormonal it is shit and no matter how thick skinned we are it does knock us back just a little...

Stupidhead I've got an electric blanket! haha

OneDayWhenIGrowUp · 02/11/2013 23:25

Hmm potentially Poffed!! Texted a bit this evening and he's asked me to an exhibition tomorrow, have left that dangling overnight though as am officially asleep now(!). I had a lot of fun and feel v comfortable with him, obv attracted to each other and enjoy his company. Still have a 3rd date with dimples on monday night too though.

Hormonal, yeah that sucks. At least he was honest though and didn't leave you hanging/disappear.

Poffed good to read that things are back on track! Hope he is on best behaviour now.

ladygoingGaga · 02/11/2013 23:42

stupidhead you must like tall blokes Grin

not sure about the electric blanket, never known a bloke with one Hmm

ladygoingGaga · 02/11/2013 23:44

oneday go girlGrin
sounds like you might have to make a decision soon though!

dontcallmehon · 03/11/2013 01:40
  • geeky guy is in my house!!!
Poffedoff · 03/11/2013 01:42

Oneday, you've seemed keen on housemate from the off, nice to have a bit of a choice but agree with Gaga, you'll probably have to make that choice a little earlier than you'd hoped now.

I'm hoping pof guy behaves himself now too... Guess I've got to trust his word and try not to obsess about it... the distance thing is a pain though because all our dates are set around me being free for an overnight, it takes the spontaneity of a last minute midweek movie or even a quick coffee out of the equation..
