Heeeeeyyyyy Poff great weekend then, YAY!!! Don't you just love the feeling of no longer "caring", it's liberating and you're once more back in control?? POFguy will just have to deal with it as best as he can, Mr Delicious sounds yummy!

I think my energy levels are compensating for the fact that I was bedridden for 2 weeks all through Christmas and NY. I feel GREAT, I hope I can maintain this feeling!

Thanks poffed - I have an implant that lasts till January 2016 - so it'll be after that if we do have a baby. That's a sensible time I think.

powpow80 · 13/01/2014 14:38

Howdy. Hope everyone had nice weekends.

Poffed sounds like you had a brill weekend. Exciting times ahead.

Master like you am back to the gym and exercise today. Had gotten very lazy and those Christmas few pounds won't fall off themselves.

Don't Paris with geeky will be great. Ex drama always a pain in the ass, but ye sound like a strong couple.

Bant looking forward to hearing about dates from a man's perspective again. Hope match throws someone great your way.

Crow I've no pic on public on pof. I just message guys I like the look of and who's profile is interesting. Attach a pic with the message and see if I hear back. Don't get a huge amount of unsolicited messages but am happy doing things this way at the moment.

Hansel Ikea and paying with vouchers really takes the biscuit.

Waves at everyone else. This thread moves so fast it's hard to keep up.

Nothing else arranged with long distance guy at the moment but were texting away over the rest if the weekend. Had a nose on pif last night and chatted with a guy who seems pretty nice. Very funny and I am a sucker for funny. Hope to hear from him again soon. Have a date with a local guy on Thursday. Keeping the options open.

superdooperpenguin · 13/01/2014 14:41

Apologies for my absence, it's all been a bit manic here lately!

I have been on 4 dates with a rather lovely physics man. He's not my usual type by a long shot but the more I get to know him the more attracted I am to him. He seems very excited by me so I'm trying hard not to get too swept along by it all, it's difficult though! It's been so long since anyone was this nice to me but I am frightened that it will burn out quickly if we're too lovey dovey too early on.

Poff Glad you've had a good date!

Master please send me some of your motivation!

Dont I'm keeping everything crossed that geeky can pull it together and not be too jealous. I hate hearing about ex's so can sympathise to a certain degree, but when there are children involved you just have to accept that ex will be in the picture for a long time!

dontcallmehon · 13/01/2014 14:59

Thanks pow and super. I see geeky tomorrow - so hopefully we can have a good chat and clear the air.

Sounds like a great weekend, poffed.

Hope all continues to go swimmingly with physics guy, super.

MasterP0 · 13/01/2014 16:11

Dont can I ask a personal question, but has your implant stopped your periods all together??

Pow all sounding good!

Super I look in the mirror and I'm motivated! Determined to shed weight and stabilize again! Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels (replace skinny with curvy)

OP posts:
dontcallmehon · 13/01/2014 16:28

Yes it has, master - which I'm very happy about.

girliefriend · 13/01/2014 18:14

The thing I don't get about stopping periods altogether is how would you know if you were pregnant? I know it's unlikely but no contraception is 100% . I've started taking the mini pill and thats one of the things I am worried about!!

Had another good date on Saturday where smallfeet met my friends, they all liked him (or at least they said they did Wink ) he stayed over again which was very nice Grin so all going swimmingly at the moment. I keep waiting for him to do something wrong but it hasn't happened yet!!

Poffedoff · 13/01/2014 18:17

Don't that is definitely a sensible amount of time! :-)
Pow good luck on up coming dates...long distance guy sounds great but could be very hard to maintain anything serious after he leaves :-(

Turns out I mightn't be able to meet mr delicious on sat after all...I texted him to say I was trying to juggle a few things and he came back to say please don't worry, we can reschedule, no rush... he didn't offer an alternative night, should I ask him if he's free any other night this eeek or just leave it?? Can't help thinking he's a bit out of my league tbh...up until last night pifguy was the most gorgeous man I've been with which I find difficult enough but mr delicious? different ballpark altogether! Don't want to seem over keen (desperate!)

Poffedoff · 13/01/2014 18:18

Ahh girlie that's great news.. :-)

Poffedoff · 13/01/2014 18:23

I used to have the marina(not correct spelling) coil..had very light monthly periods with it..im now on the pill and seem to be getting two periods every month, both heavy and lasting a week! Ugh

MasterP0 · 13/01/2014 18:25

Dont that's FANTASTIC, only one person has said something negative about the implant. No periods would be a dream come true for me, sorry Bant and all other men/uninterested parties!

Girl I've never thought of it like that???? I guess you'd just know after a couple of months that you were getting fat?!?!?!? EXCELLENT news on smallfeet, STOP with the negative thoughts. I try to always remind myself of the. "Self fulfilling prophecy" so train yourself to THINK POSITIVE, HAPPY THOUGHTS! If shit happens, it happens!

OP posts:
Poffedoff · 13/01/2014 18:29

Hi super :-) hard not to get caught up in the excitement but we've ALL done it...have another gander at the rules, keep the feet firmly on the ground but enjoy!

MasterP0 · 13/01/2014 18:43

Poff just ask him! worst case scenario he says ".....no, what about x night". Mr Delicious just proves to YOU that, yes you are attractive enough to attract the Mr Deliciousnesses and that you don't have to accept or put up with shit from the likes of POFGUY!

OP posts:
Santaclaws · 13/01/2014 18:54

Hi all. Hope everyone ok it's hard to keep up as I don't get on here every day.

I had a shock yesterday. My ex mr online man who ended it after an intense 3 month relationship 2 weeks before Xmas sent me an email last night. He was wishing me a happy birthday, hoping all was well with my daughter whose due to give birth any day now. Hoping I had a better Xmas than him and saying it would be nice to hear from me. WTF is that all about? Why do men do this?

MasterP0 · 13/01/2014 19:02

Santa BECAUSE THEY LIKE TO BEND YOU OVER DOGGY STYLE AND MIND FUCK YOU/US!! Makes me soooo very angry! I'd ignore and delete to be honest! Do you care? Are you tempted to reply???? Remind yourself of the heartache/disappointment caused to you.

OP posts:
Bant · 13/01/2014 19:12

Master - sorry but do you think you could post in a bit less of a shouty way? It hurts the eyes to read your posts.

Sometimes we get back in touch because we genuinely care and want to know how you are. Women do it to us too, I don't presume they want to fuck with my head.

ALittleStranger · 13/01/2014 19:23

Santa some people do it to keep you dangling, but it's possible that he thought it was appropriate to wish you a happy birthday. Recent exes have always wished me a happy birthday. I think by allowing this to be a "shock" you're giving him too much head space.

Santaclaws · 13/01/2014 19:30

I don't think he was a horrible person, yes I got hurt and was disappointed but I don't think he doesn't care, I think he was not over his ex and jumped in too soon. Anyway I'm not hurting anymore and have had other offers since him Grin but I can't say I don't care at all about him though. I would always wish him well. I was just confused because he seemed so mad at me when he left that day ( I had been going on at him for ages) I have to own up to that. I sent him an email a few days later and the one I got back wasn't very nice really. Then nothing until now. Btw I wouldn't go back

MasterP0 · 13/01/2014 19:35

Bant close your eyes!

OP posts:
MasterP0 · 13/01/2014 19:44

Bant I'm sorry, I'm in bitch mode. Will go take a chill pill.

If you chose to leave, stay gone! Don't be sending me messages acting all sweet, nice and innocent and pretending you care. If you cared that much in the first place you wouldn't have acted the way you did. I don't like it when people "hide", deal with the problem head on, resolve it, it doesn't mean shouting and screaming. What would drive me mad is you DISAPPEARING, Lord help you! We are all adults, let's act like adults and not some spoilt brat who doesn't know what he wants, don't date if you're not over your ex, it's UNFAIR AND UNKIND and CRUEL when you disappear.

OP posts:
Santaclaws · 13/01/2014 19:58

I see what you are saying master and yes I agree if he wasn't over the ex then he shouldn't have been dating. Maybe he thought he could get over her by dating, I know I've been guilty of that.
He didn't disappear to be fair he left saying he was going home as he couldn't cope with me ( charming,) anyway I did have closure when I emailed him because he replied saying its was best if we left it

However he should have left it for good shouldn't he.

ALittleStranger · 13/01/2014 20:03

The problem is it can be difficult to know when you're over someone, and there is a broad spectrum between being over a bad break up and actually ready for a relationship. I definitely started dating before I was ready for a relationship. I won't apologise for this as I ended everything after 1-2 dates and no one should have invested at that point. It helped me.

girliefriend · 13/01/2014 20:11

Poffe which pill are you on? If i start getting two periods a month I will not be impressed!! Thinking positively is a bit of an alien concept to me but I am trying I promise Grin

Santa that is confusing, maybe just keep contact light. Maybe he wants to 'just be friends' I know it's cliche but you never know. If you are not sure just ignore him.

MasterP0 · 13/01/2014 20:14

If they/we would ALL just firstly be honest with themselves, and us, it would really avoid all this "drama".

Santa that's what pisses me off! DO NOT contact me after you're the one that ended it for whatever reason. ".....wishing you had a better Christmas than him...." he knows you're not a cold cow so will think, shame what was wrong, that's our maternal side kicking in. "....it would be nice to hear from you....." Point being WHAT exactly ????

I've got no time for wishywashy men. Know your mind, stay focused, treat others with care and consideration, grow some balls! I would rather a guy say, I'm still dealing with stuff, I'm not ready to commit but I really like you, can we hang out, get to know one another, see what happens? But oooohhhhh nooooooo, they'd rather mind fuck you!
