I'd love Cake Smile
Though actually I have horrible indigestion at the moment so my body is imposing its own version of the 5:2... the 0:7 at the moment! I may have to take a rice cake, a banana and a bottle of Gaviscon along on my lunch dates!

Mr casual wants a date too! So that's Tuesday booked up now too Blush

folk how odd, I made cheese scones today too! Still got a couple left but they're disappearing fast!

Tonight's messaging has been odd, 3 completely opposite types! POF guy's messages were, dare I say it, a bit boring. Maybe it's because there's other people I'm interested in! Mr Builder's messages are pure filth but it makes me laugh a little because he puts a x at the end of every message Grin Then Mr Banana is really sweet and funny, apart from a few very mild innuendo there's been nothing remotely sexual said! He doesn't put a x in his messages, except qhen he says goodnight. Will have to hope I don't send things to the wrong people, think they'd get a bit of a shock!

splish no, me. I think the reality is that if I were to introduce someone, he wouldn't like it - he's jealous of the relationship my son has with my friend's husband so I dread to think how he'd feel if they met a boyfriend. I just think I want a boyfriend for me and don't see that there's any real need for the children to be involved.

But I do agree with what you're saying about him wanting it to normalise his affair.

Oh I feel exactly the same Folk - dating is my adult activity, and a chance to be something other than "mummy".

Your ex might be jealous if it did reach a time when you wanted to introduce someone to your dc, but he can't really expect you not to, bearing in mind how he is happy to involve his gf with the dc.

crow - Mr Kinky always put a x after every single message which I found very odd, as it just seemed inappropriate. I'm not sure why he did it.

And then other times I just worry that I'm missing the more obvious insight that I'm just fucked up and cannot be satisfied by a good relationship.

I think that sort of sums me up too, sadly.

Jarlin I can't imagine that the men analyse like this. I hate to make sweeping generalisations, especially on anything 'gender', but I do wonder if men are more straightforward and black and white.

I was thinking earlier, I wonder if the man I'm seeing wonders if I'm being honest with him, or whether I'm seeing anyone else. Or whether he trusts me or whether he isn't really bothered either way, anyway! You know, when I'm worrying about whether he genuinely likes me that sort of nonsense!

splishsplosh · 23/02/2014 22:28

I always imagine men to be more straightforward and just accept things are OK. But they must have their doubts and insecurities too. Probably depends on what has happened to them too in their past.

Oh... just found out Mr casual works at the same place I do.... I feel a bit weird about that.

FolkGirl · 23/02/2014 22:30

Shock that' a bit strange, splish!

FolkGirl · 23/02/2014 22:33

Ah well, all the more Cake for me.

splishsplosh · 23/02/2014 22:44

Yes - what are the chances of that??? I live in London, it seems ridiculously unlikely. He tells me he is very "discrete" though Hmm

Hormonalhell · 23/02/2014 22:56

Jarlin, my third date with my slow burner was very similar to yours but instead of the small penis he had a hairy back Shock was like snogging yogi bear and was equally disappointing and over in seconds Hmm

Unfortunately I don't find teddy bears sexy n so have decided it's over (although not told him yet)

I've seriously given up now on dating and keep listening to Whitney Houston 'the greatest love' Hmm

Hormonalhell · 23/02/2014 22:57

I wouldn't be keen on that either Splish

Blossomflowers · 23/02/2014 23:12

Well sounds like lots of sad people on her tonight, sorry to hear that Sad.
I am still glowing after Friday night of passion with mrscottishaccent, lots of lovely texts, I would love to see him again. he is saying all the right things but not specified a day, it tricky for both of us with with work and kids but want him to say when or should I? oh I am rubbish at this

MadeMan · 23/02/2014 23:12

FolkGirl, expensive imported xmas presents can never compete with homemade cakes, of which you seem to make many. I'm sure your children wouldn't dream of replacing you. Smile

MadeMan · 23/02/2014 23:18

"I'd love to know if they over analyse stuff like we do?"

I would think SlowBurner is definitely over analysing himself into a tizzy about the weekend's activities.

MadeMan · 23/02/2014 23:29

Hormonal, a shame that your bloke didn't have a pick-er-nic basket full of food like Yogi Bear; that might have eased the disappointment.

Blossom, text him to say you had a brilliant time and you look forward to seeing him again very soom.

scornedwoman67 · 23/02/2014 23:30

come on hormonal as someone said on another thread 'chin up, tits up, lippy on' Wink

blossom its tricky isn't it. Being keen and 'chilled' at the same time!

MadeMan · 23/02/2014 23:32

That should have read soon, not soom like Fat Larry's Band.

Blossomflowers · 23/02/2014 23:33

made oh we have said we would def like to see each other again, so unless he is liar he is into me but just not named a day when. God I am so impatient.

BeforeAndAfter · 23/02/2014 23:49

Jarlin - am just delurking to add my tuppence worth. I'm not sure how much you actually like Slow Burner but the first couple of times that I got down and dirty with my DP, it was not the greatest success. He was nervous and kept saying he really wanted to get to know me better (I can be a pushy cow when I've got the, erm, bit between my teeth...). Turns out he really was just nervous and once he felt more relaxed with me, well, it was a transformation. Passion, fireworks, staying power - the lot - my man is just divine and I'm glad I stayed the course.

I did promise myself I'd be out of there if he didn't improve but he did. I just backed off completely and I was happy to do so as I really liked him and wanted to get to know him properly. We indulged in a lot of gorgeous kissing for a fair while and then the switch in his head flicked and we've never looked back. I really think he just needed to trust that I wasn't playing the field with him.

It also depends on how small small is - dicks that haven't seen any action for a while do seem to diminish - they definitely perk up and fill out after getting back into the rhythm of regular outings - so there could be hope. If you're talking thumb-size, run for hills girl and don't look back.

MadeMan · 24/02/2014 00:00

"...they definitely perk up and fill out after getting back into the rhythm of regular outings..."

I'm the same after a beano coach outing down to the South Coast.
