At weekend I went out with my ex it's his birthday soon and although he asked me to the party I'd rather not go. So we went for a drink n catch up, there nothing between us and it wasn't awkward like it was about a year back.
Any way we had a great time , I went to get drinks any way came back and saw bloke I sort of blame for breaking us up which was fine but they were chatting to the bloke of pof , he recognised me my ex went to introduce us but we both said sort of know each other .
After we left my ex says this bloke likes me and he said he had mentioned me a couple times so what was I going to do
Me I haven't a clue ????

So why not go on a date with pof man?

CogitoErgoSometimes · 25/02/2014 12:10

If I remember right, wasn't there something about the POF man that put you off meeting him in the first place?

BTW... how did you meet your ex?

Logg1e · 25/02/2014 13:04

So, you broke up with man A. He now has a new girlfriend, and although you remain close friends with him, you don't get on with her.

On the weekend you met up with him for a drink. You decided not to go to his birthday party, because his new girlfriend would be there.

Whilst you were having this platonic drink with him, man B bumped in to you. By sheer coincidence. You know man B from somewhere called "POF"?

It turns out Man A and B know each other.

Man B likes you but you don't know what to do.

My question What has Man A got to do with any of this?

handfulofcottonbuds · 25/02/2014 13:45

I'm confused too.

jesy did you post about ending it with this man because you had no money and he was paying for meals etc and you felt bad? We were all giving you ideas of what to say to him and how you could spend time with him without spending money? Was that the POF man?

MorrisZapp · 25/02/2014 13:48

Why not meet up with the POF man? What's not simple about it?

jesy · 25/02/2014 14:21

I only meet men of dating sites as I don't go out much.
I was seeing a man till recently but had doubts for a couple weeks so distanced myself n ended it.
I'd chatted to bloke B on pof but decided he was to cute to be interested in me.
Was on platonic date with friend not realising he was good mate's with Mr B
Mr B has asked me out and I want Togo

You originally said you blamed the POF man for breaking up you and your ex. Not that he was too cute to be interested.

jesy · 25/02/2014 14:39

No I did not it's to complicated I do t understand it my s elf

Men off dating sites like POF are real people. They have friends and family and may well be known to your friends and family too. It is just a way of making contact not another species.

Give bloke B a whirl and report back Smile

KouignAmann · 25/02/2014 14:40

Cog I think there were 3 blokes. Bloke A (ex) bloke B (POF) and bloke C ( sort of broke OP and bloke A up)

jesy · 25/02/2014 14:49

Ok
Bloke A my ex and good mate
Bloke B off pod who mate's with A
Bloke C dated for a bit but deep down no spark guess deep down looked for a reason to end it with C

Sorry I've confused ppl

( the one I blame for me n A ending is basically an irrelevant twat and nothing to do with this )

I have no idea why you can't date POF guy. Can you say why?

rpitchfo · 25/02/2014 15:01

JeanSeberg · 25/02/2014 15:12

There you go then. Life is very simple when you do what you fancy, please yourself and look after #1 rather than trying to second guess everything or worry about other people's reactions.

JeanSeberg · 25/02/2014 15:43

Glad I made you smile! Hope your date goes well.

It's like reading myself, aged 15.

AnyFuckerHQ · 25/02/2014 17:03

it's like reading a different language to me

jesy · 25/02/2014 17:07

At 15 I was too busy looking after a family with a mental health issue to go out.
Tar for the support I'll let you know how it goes well if any one interested and still awaken, it's just a drink at the sports place he goes to which is near me.
