Evening ladies
Been a busy week so just catching up on with the thread.
coel had to chuckle re the poo story. You just wonder...how he thought you might be interested! !!
jarlin fingers crossed re SB. The sex bit is quite important to me but hopefully you can train him if everything else is good
blossom you're playing it spot on with MrSA. Shame we have to be like that but well done.
Good news for me. ..saw Mr Van Man Thursday. It's all gone wrong with his lady friend who apparently treated him like a free handy man. He popped in for coffee the other day. .and left four hours later Grin
I am trying not to get carried away but he gives me that butterfly thing. ..I think this may just be the beginning of something special. Trying v.hard to be coolSmile
Hope those of you who have dates tonight have fun. I'm babysitting for nephews x

scornedwoman67 · 15/03/2014 18:38

sorry and bumble fab news re Mr Smiley. Very happy for you.

Blossomflowers · 15/03/2014 18:45

scorned Sounds like fun. I like to think I am not playing games but what can you do, can hardly sit here all week. Oh but he is soo cute. I did feel a litttle sad when he left this morning would have been nice to stay chatting in bed a bit longer. I think he is beginning to think I am a bit of a nutter, lol

Blossomflowers · 15/03/2014 19:20

This is sweet, I was chatting to a guy while ago and he just dissappeared, he has just popped up on #POF so dropped him quick message, Said he had been seeing someone so took himself off, well nice to hear. Wants to take me for dinner on Thurday.

MadeMan · 15/03/2014 19:39

Blossom does he know that you think he's "so cute"? Cute and sweet are like the Andrex puppies, surely not for men folk? Grin

Blossomflowers · 15/03/2014 20:09

made No way does he think at all, my words most def not Andrex puppies, lol

HelloBoys · 15/03/2014 20:11

I'm sick of dating sites per se! What's tinder like? I'm London area.

Have tried matchcrapfinity, love struck, doing something etc.

Met last 2 boyfriends on match affinity and doing something but nothing I like on either and signed off doing something and love struck.

I can also sometimes meet men whilst out.

HelloBoys · 15/03/2014 20:13

Mademan in my experience some guys hate it if you call them cute, my last one Kent Lad didn't mind cute bless him.

Bumblebeepie · 15/03/2014 20:24

hello try tinder its great! only guys you like the look of can contact you.....cuts out the dweebs punching above their weight ifywim Wink yes alot want sexy chat or hook ups but you'll know pretty quickly if thats the case and just block if necessary. lots of guys who wouldn't use regular OLD are on there.

HelloBoys · 15/03/2014 20:27

bumble but is it really mainly for hookups etc?! Don't want to waste mine and their time.

Blossomflowers · 15/03/2014 20:33

Bloody hell what is it with everyone tonight, have just arranged to meet Mr Italian, looks and sounds lovely but same height as me so will desparately have to find some flat shoes, eek not sure I own any. Sounds really shallow but could there be future with short man.?

Bumblebeepie · 15/03/2014 20:33

no its not....its a mixture. I think non users have a perception that it is but its just like any other dating site some people there for LTR some people for hook ups, I find tinderers far more upfront about their intentions, which is helpful!

Bumblebeepie · 15/03/2014 20:38

Grin Blossom. ....how tall are you?

Blossomflowers · 15/03/2014 20:43

Only 5.5 always have gone out with guys taller, untill bloody recenty, Mr SA only 5.6, not complaining but so love wearing heels. Now I sound like a right shallow twat. I have got so many messages going on POF, mobile best take it easy on the Red Wine in case I start mixing people up.

Bumblebeepie · 15/03/2014 20:49

not at all shallow blossom its one of my caveats. I'm 5.4 and have set the bar at 5.10 thank god I made an exception with Mr Smiley @ 5.9.....I love my heels too much too. My killer heels may gather some dust.
thanks oldfashioned got a good feeling on this one Grin

HelloBoys · 15/03/2014 20:50

Ah bumble thanks for that!

blossom I'm similar to you generally have sometimes dated guys same height or a bit taller but now prefer taller!

I dated one guy who must've been similar height to me (5ft5) when young but he wore stacked heels! Lol.

Bumblebeepie · 15/03/2014 20:51

sorry that last message should have been for scorned!!!

HelloBoys · 15/03/2014 20:52

Bumble I'm similar to you re height but I won't discount shorter, generally I do prefer 5ft10 at least!

BeforeAndAfter · 15/03/2014 20:56

I'm 1/2 inch shorter than my beau - he's 5'6 and I still wear my heels. I thought it would matter but I don't mind at all. He only once alluded to it when he said that my boots were high when I was putting them on so I told him never come between B&A and her heels. He just laughed and it clearly doesn't bother him. I kid myself I'm like a supermodel towering over a short-arse Hollywood star. It surprised that I'm cool with it and, let's face it, lying down it doesn't matter Grin

Bumblebeepie · 15/03/2014 20:57

thanks hello maybe I should reconsider my limitations. I think its to do with my ex being 5.7 and he was a controlling bullying dickhead so I'm conscious of the napoleon complex! Grin

Bumblebeepie · 15/03/2014 20:58

ha ha before that is so true about the lying down thing!! Grin

Blossomflowers · 15/03/2014 21:07

You load of heightests, lol. Bring on the heels. Yea damm right when laying down makes no difference, and glad to say there seems to be no connection with height and errr size. Blush

HelloBoys · 15/03/2014 21:11

So true lying down it doesn't matter and also as we all know (and I have proof!) the short guy I saw (not stacked heels) certainly wasn't short in other areas! Grin

Bumble yes I know what you mean re short man syndrome but then my brother's short (5ft 7 maybe?) and he may have had a slight complex but certainly not now. Some men really do sell themselves on height too. Confused

BeforeAndAfter · 15/03/2014 21:13

Apparently there's a correlation with the nose. A good strong nose and you get a good ...

Some gay friends of mine told me this and I do that between them their believe their survey sample was quite substantial.

HelloBoys · 15/03/2014 21:14

Blossom I was dating a guy 3 years ago, v tall, well built etc, when we got down to it it wasn't much bigger than a chipolata, luckily he just used his hands on himself... Grin.

We had been talking dirty but he obv couldn't admit that but had been married years (divorced) so I guess wife didn't mind!
