no response. He's probably forgotten he's looked at me and taken his medication and Ovaltine!!!

whitedoorbell · 20/04/2014 22:58

glad to hear spirits are high tonight ladies... I think we all need to have some fun!

I just spent 1 hour 5 mins on phone to baldy. told him to ring to discusd next date Wink

so some progress. .. at least not all communications by text and instant messenger.

how do you ladies manage with yr kids? mine are 9 anf 8 and 4. they are with me 24/7.... don't go to their dads at all. babysitter is bank rupting me. what do you do with your kids?
a bit further in I would invite baldy round to mine but what do you say to kids if he stays over? how do you train them to stay in their own beds at night and not wander into my room?
fair enough that is the future, not right now but any potential boyfriend would have to accept the situation. don't like the idea of meeting up and having sex and then going home after. had that with xp and always made me feel a bit cheap iyswim?

whitedoorbell · 20/04/2014 23:07

just to clarify my baldy looked bald in photo but is actually blond and hair cut v short... he is actually not v hairy all over. .. is still possible haircut chosen to hide receding hair line Grin but I like him

also mr delivery driver is shiny bald. don't really fancy him. he is openly a player but snogged me and made me go weak at the knees. he snogged me at the back door at work ffs Grin

actually mr delivery driver has gone to blackpool fir weekend with some girl he met. not a chance he is dating material but after that snog if I fancied a one night shag I am sure he wouldn't dissapoint!

whitedoorbell · 20/04/2014 23:09

mr delivery driver rang me to say about Blackpool arrangement. when I joked that he never invited me on a mini break he very kindly offered to take me for weekend away to Luton that he got as. bargain off ebay WTAF????

louby44 · 20/04/2014 23:10

I'm lucky in that my exH has my 2 DS 24 hours over the weekend, plus my parents and brother will have them.

My eldest DS is 14 (youngest 11) so I have left them for a couple of hours. I don't like doing it and am constantly texting them but they've been fine so far. Only done it about 3 times!

I introduced my exP to my DS really quickly (well no he actually pushed himself in) and I wouldn't do that again. I'd wait for quite a few months before that happened.

whitedoorbell · 20/04/2014 23:14

that's what I think louby... to wait I mean but babysitting costs are beyond a joke.

whitedoorbell · 20/04/2014 23:15

also I think I should be able to invite people over in the evening when kids are in bed...

UrsulaBuffay · 20/04/2014 23:15

Hahaha whitedoorbell he sounds like a hoot

whitedoorbell · 20/04/2014 23:17

ursula delivery guy is a total nightmare. but he is very open about what he is up to which I kind of respect. .. better than alka these players pretending to be serious just to get in yr knickers Grin

UrsulaBuffay · 20/04/2014 23:29

Yeah I always appreciate honesty if they're only up for a shag. The weekend off eBay is hilarious!

whitedoorbell · 20/04/2014 23:31

what do u reckon... shall I say yes Wink

tell you what he would shag you in style and turn up armed with flowers and chocolates etc pmsl

UrsulaBuffay · 20/04/2014 23:41

Hahaha who am I to argue I've done as much just without the flowers

fiftyandfab · 21/04/2014 00:07

stalker just sent evil message ....weirdo!

whitedoorbell · 21/04/2014 08:10

check this message out... sent as a blanket message. .

"any 1 want sum 1"

that's it.
sorry mate try harder Grin

louby44 · 21/04/2014 08:13

white that's just totally lazy lol

Some of these men need serious dating help. Can they not sign up to some course...may be we could design a course and make a mint!

whitedoorbell · 21/04/2014 08:17

another one....I'm a phil Collins fan so not expecting that many replies!!

I would actually be tempted to reply to him lol

what I don't understand is why so many messages come through overnight. does that makw you wonder what these people are up to at 4am. I know some people are more brave in the wee small hours but seriously you could be fooled into thinking the majority of single blokes are nocturnal! !

LizzieBelle · 21/04/2014 08:49

just started chatting to very nice guy online, then he comes out with,

Was my profile quite clear about not wanting to meet anyone for a relationship? I'm happy to meet people for drink or dinner but I'm not looking or hunting for a relationship. Always happy to fall in love with that special person but it not often that happens in real life

It does take the pressure off I suppose.

whitedoorbell · 21/04/2014 09:06

lizzie wtf does that mean?

bloody hell!

FloraSpreadableMacDonald · 21/04/2014 09:17

Lizzie...thay's a message prewarning you that you shouldnt expect much so dont be disappointed if he doesnt call again.
Unless of course YOU are the 'lucky' chosen one...feel prviliged!
Knob!

A guy started messaging me on Tinder last night, good looking, younger than me, turns out we are both from town I grew up in and he still lives there. Asked to take me out, but he has pics with 2 v young kids and he has a wedding ring on in them. I questioned that and I said there were lots of married men on Tinder, he said he had split recently. Messaging me all night, told me he was a plumber and plays football for a certain local team so I googled the team, found out his name, looked on Facebook and he's still married!! Looked at my Tinder this morning, all messages and his profile have disappeared! Makes me so angry, I feel like emailing his wife on FB saying do you know yr husband is on Tinder! I had a bad experience last yr with a guy who lied through has back teeth and was actually married and this does nothing to instill my confidence in men!! Do u think I should anonymously email her?! Just pisses me off men are getting away with this type of thing!

louby44 · 21/04/2014 10:58

Denton I wouldn't get involved if I were you!

But I agree with all you say. It is very annoying and disgusting behaviour.

SuperFlyHigh · 21/04/2014 11:51

So far I've got 2 replies, 1 from someone I don't fancy at all (bald head) and someone who's a dancer with a few extra pounds... shall I call him Private Dancer?!

and then there's the tease who's same star sign, but a hottie definitely, I can now see his pics. He looks a bit big headed. One of the best looking ones so far.

SuperFlyHigh · 21/04/2014 11:51

same star sign as Kent Lad I mean...

SuperFlyHigh · 21/04/2014 11:57

Denton that's awful!

I don't think you should message his wife!

It's annoying and disgusting behaviour (as louby said) but I think a few men are like this, a few years ago I met a man in a bar, he told me he was separated (no ring), we dated etc... turned out he was more than probably still with wife, gave me a load of flannel that it was too expensive to get divorced etc then said he'd got back with her on V Day after we'd dated a while and broke up, I think he was having an affair as he never let me see the car (number plate?), paid in cash for everything, including a weekend away at hotel said it was for VAT/tax reasons he used cash... and most likely had a spare mobile phone. He actually turned up on my doorstep last winter, I wasn't in but neighbour of upstairs flat saw him and rang me.... as he'd rung their bell too! He'd done that in the summer too called unannounced, when my brother was staying and I was out....

Denton2406 · 21/04/2014 12:09

I was thinking of sending him an email from a fake account saying he was a liar and cheat! Maybe I'll just leave it though?

Superhighfly- your story is awful too, bloody men! The one I was seeing last year was married with pregnant wife, absolutely messed my head up! Which is why I am angry with Tinder man!
