Hello and welcome.

Before I'm giving you the Stink Eye because you might have a point...

One of the things that makes him unsuitable 'forever' material is his utter uselessness in an everyday sense!

I don't know how he manages to travel the world and organise where he's going to live and work or anything, because on an every day level he's more than a little hapless... I find it quite endearing, to be honest, but it would drive me made if I had to live with it!

I don't know. I still think he was having too much fun to even think of me, but I do think you might have a point, too.

Damn Sad

MyChild 10. No dating the thread means that if you find a fellow threadee to be sympatico and think you'd like to date them, then it's against the rules. For example, one of us might be secretly thinking that MadeMan sounds perfect - well he's off limits...

whitedoorbell · 28/04/2014 20:32

scarey god knows then. I really feel for you. we are all equally insecure here lol.

I am just worried that this will always play on your mind and ot may be kinder to yourself to be hurt now and move on rather than prolong the agony iyswim?

I will come to toulouse woth you instead if you like Grin

BeforeAndAfter · 28/04/2014 20:33

I really should read the thread before clicking "post"... I'm soooo slow. I blame the copious bubbles and cheesecake. A broken heart makes for a fine muffin top...

whitedoorbell · 28/04/2014 20:41

before what's going on? must have missed it Sad

BeforeAndAfter · 28/04/2014 20:50

Oh, "White", you've missed nothing. I tell everyone else what to do and keep totally schtum ... Long and short is went on holiday, fell madly in love. Dated man who lived in Edinburgh and I'm in London. I moved up there. My XH had previously shafted me from great height with affair of 10 months hence I just couldn't trust the Scot. He got bored with reassuring me. Took my ishooooos as an accusation. I left him rather dramatically just to have peace of mind. He's incredibly handsome blah blah blah and the females flock around him and I have to say not having to 'worry' about what he's up to is good (but not right). Am back in London and madly in love with him but I'm staying away and I'm licking my wounds until I'm ready to date again. I currently feel that that will be a VERY VERY long time. For now I live vicariously through the thread.

dontcallmehon22 · 28/04/2014 21:12

Oh before I identify with a lot of that. I am also madly in love and a bit Sad.

I don't have the patience to wait it out though.

Not checked email. He plays table tennis on Monday so won't reply yet. I'm too scared.

Oh God, pizza place guy texted!!!

FolkGirl · 28/04/2014 21:29

Table tennis... Confused Come on, Dont Grin

Are you going to reply to PizzaPlaceGuy?

dontcallmehon22 · 28/04/2014 21:35

I know! He's quite good though.

I don't think I will. There are too many men texting me already.

I like the guy on POF I'm chatting to, but he has the same be as Geeky. And he's also a bit geeky!

dontcallmehon22 · 28/04/2014 21:36

The same name as geeky

dontcallmehon22 · 28/04/2014 21:37

I do love Geeky's name though.

FolkGirl · 28/04/2014 21:39

Had a strange conversation with my exH today.

Something has happened. I know the facts, but I don't know the details, which is unusual because my exH likes to wax lyrical about everything, as he likes the sound of his own voice. There was just something about what he said, or rather didn't say.

I think he and his gf/ow might have split up.

If they have, I hope it was worth it...

FolkGirl · 28/04/2014 21:40

There are too many men texting you already?!!! Get you Grin

If I give you a little box, will you put Geeky in it, seal it up and put it on a high shelf behind your grandma's old candlewick blankets where you can forget about it and get on with the rest of your life...

Denton2406 · 28/04/2014 22:24

I've got a date from Tinder on Weds....he's quite a bit younger than me, looks ok, been texting for a few weeks, and he said "perfect, I can't believe I'm really meeting you" !!! Kind of put me off a bit!

dontcallmehon22 · 28/04/2014 22:26

Scarey I totally understand though Sad

Think I may never check my email. He won't reply. Wish I'd never met him.
