That's a shame blossom I hate it when they do that. It doesn't take more than a few seconds to text if you can't call.... Sad

Hormonalhell · 24/02/2014 22:26

Yes I agree with meeting ASAP. I've had lots of disappointments after chatting too long and finding no spark.

Blossom try not to worry, they don't think like we doGrin

Jarlin I did it today, said there was no spark but was happy to text from time to time if he wanted. He just said if I was sure then yes he'd like that (I think he must have guessed already)

Do you that is what it is hormonal.

Good idea to sleep on it jarlin he's obviously fairly thick-skinned!

Hormonalhell · 24/02/2014 22:50

Deffo blossom! He will have forgot n when realised may have thought too late n not worried cos he text you earlier.

Jarlin, yes sleep on it....let him stew. I think I'm gonna stay single Confused

scornedwoman67 · 24/02/2014 23:06

Shock one of them has just told me he is only 5ft 3. Quite a bit shorter than me. Sadly I just won't find him attractive. What do I say???

Blossomflowers · 24/02/2014 23:08

Well I m not going to txt him, he is really likes me as much he says then he needs tp try a litle harder on the contact side of things. Have a called arranged a call with mr hotguy tomorrow night so now keepimng options open, also speaking with 2 others who look really nice.

Thanks jarlin infact I am in themiddle messaging someone who looks very nice. I am the wrong side of 45, why should we be happy single, I tried in the past and don't like too much. But next man I am with is going to have to jump through some hoops to make me trust him

dippinmytoe · 24/02/2014 23:24

Im 36 and not mad on being single... only been 7 months but everyone is paired off !!
Mr flashes contact has died down since saying about date 3 :-s all very confusing. Whatsapp is doing my brain in !!

Blossomflowers · 24/02/2014 23:28

Do you think men have the same kind of problems with woman, not getting im touch. I know I was in contact for week with this chap he was really sweet but just did not fancy him to just stopped replying, maybe he thinks I am odd. Just trying to see if from a man pov

EverythingHappens4aReason · 24/02/2014 23:32

Hey my Friday date has just asked to bring it forward to tomorrow afternoon.....just a coffee, suits me ;)

EverythingHappens4aReason · 24/02/2014 23:34

scorned think I'd do the same at 5'3" :(

Blossomflowers · 24/02/2014 23:38

might sound shallow but I won't date anyone under 5 8, I am 5.5 always wear heels, just could not look down on man, just seems wrong.

MadeMan · 24/02/2014 23:38

"SlowBurner has just text me asking if I have recovered from saturday?"

Hopefully he wasn't applying this pose when he text you Jarlin:
"Have you recovered from Saturday?"

well ladies this thread is brilliant Grin
Sounds like we are all in a similar position. MrSmall just replied saying he understood & wished I was shorter because I'm 'normal' and 'beautiful' So he's short- sighted too Grin
Now I feel like a right cow. Sad

Blossomflowers · 24/02/2014 23:52

that's it we could name our potential after the mrmen.
Your not a cow scorned you sound like a very nice woman

MadeMan · 25/02/2014 00:05

Blossom I am terrible at returning text messages or emails to anyone and people are quick to pull me up about it. I am always having to reactivate my email address; I've even had the tv license people write to me in the past saying they can't send my license to my email address because it's been deactivated due to not being used.

I have had times with women not getting in touch, although this was mainly when I was online dating and sometimes I'd get no replies to messages through the dating website. Maybe some accounts weren't in use, or the women's subscriptions had run out and so they can't reply. This is possibly why a lot of people just end up sending out generic "Hi there" type messages after they've been on for a while; why spend ages writing specific messages tailored to individual people if you've been getting no responses?
