Always a chance he might still be asleep I suppose.

TalisaMaegyr · 07/04/2014 15:18

Hmmm. Have you called him? I would call - I would need to know what's going on. It's not like you barely know him.

That's strange Scarey, hope u hear soon Hmm

dontcallmehon22 · 07/04/2014 16:33

Hope you hear from him soon Scarey.

Today has been farcical. Date from Friday seems to be ignoring my 'no spark' text and is offering to bring me presents of Swiss chocolate. Some idiot I dated a while ago is messaging me 'fancie a drink?' [sic]. Then an old school friend messaged me on Facebook offering to take me out.
Then married Facebook friend privately mmessaging me, telling me I have a nice body?!!
I am totally uninterested. The one man I want I can't have.

FolkGirl · 07/04/2014 16:39

Scarey This will turn out to be one of those situations that is completely innocent and with nothing to worry about, but that has kept you feeling really crappy all day!

He'd have to be very strange indeed to have done all those things with you and then suddenly go cold!

dont I think that's the universe's way of telling you to stop thinking about him and that you should get back out there because there are many men who would be interested. (Not that you should pursue any of those, of course!)

@Dont, at least it's nice to get some attention and you can add 'nice body' to your positives list thus:

"I don't get it. I'm pretty, clever and fun and nice body. I can't find the right one."

Hormonalhell · 07/04/2014 17:36

Agree about the two way thing Scarey. I been searching a long time and only feel I have found it this time.

Only problem I have with MrKids is that he not been split from his wife long (3 months she cheated) n although he swears he won't have her back she still a very big part of his life n he does a lot for her still Hmm

dontcallmehon22 · 07/04/2014 17:50

I guess that's a positive mademan! I sent the no spark text again to jaded. Didn't want him coming back from Switzerland laden with presents for me!! No reply yet.

Shellwedance · 07/04/2014 18:04

Scarey, really feel for you, am sure it will be nothing but the stress of constantly looking at your phone is horrible. Enjoy KFC!

Dont, it is that bloody annoying thing that once you seem unobtainable (because your hearts not in it) then everyone's interested. Try and take it as an ego boost for when you are ready to move on.

Folk, your man sounds like he's really trying to put you at ease, hope it goes well meeting your friends.

My date from the other night texted me a really sweet message and we had lots of texts yesterday then I didn't hear from him from 11 last night till 4 this afternoon. That stuff really bugs me plus I saw he'd taken one of his (less attractive) photos off his profile this afternoon so obvs keeping his options open. That's fine, we've only been on one date but this was his first date since his divorce so I suspect he's going to want to go on more...

Ah well, I have another date on Weds with someone who lives closer and texts quicker Smile

"I sent the no spark text again to jaded. Didn't want him coming back from Switzerland laden with presents for me!!"

I'm guessing you texted him to shove his Lindt gold bunnies up his bum.

dontcallmehon22 · 07/04/2014 18:35

I'm chuckling at that mademan!

I would, Scarey. You'll only panic otherwise.

Scarey That's a bit strange, do you think he could have lot his phone?

Dont Isn't it just typical that when men who really like us, we're not so keen on them and when we really like them, they're unavailable/twats/too busy to fit us in Hmm.

I haven't heard from Mr Sales since Saturday so god knows if I'll be meeting him this week or not. MCS text a few times yesterday with two kisses at the end of each text Hmm.

Lots of Hmm tonight.
