Hello and welcome.

That can't be done white, no, not on that site anyway.

HanselandGretel · 29/04/2014 23:53

What I mean is, you can only block people who have messaged you. Also, he could still look me up in searches. He casts a very long shadow over my life, stalking, controlling etc...but that's another story.

In my opinion Hansel the social group way seems the best option by the sounds of it. If it's like Meetup you can probably private message people, so you could try contacting him through that by saying you haven't seen him for a while and ask how he's been been.

To me, signing up to a dating site just on the off chance of getting together with this man (especially with your ex on there) seems a bit long winded and destined for disappointment; I certainly wouldn't sign up just for one person.

Not sure what happened there in my previous post with the "been been"s.

Or why the italics are now not working in my newer, previous post.

I agree with mademan's suggestion, Hansel.

Ah Henry II just said 'it's not everyday that a stunning girl (it has now been corroborated) turns up out of nowhere, wielding a wonderful book.' The 'it has now been corroborated bit' is an in joke. I like the sound of him.

Scarey I bet we would!

dontcallmehon22 · 30/04/2014 12:54

He didn't reply. He wouldn't even give me that courtesy. I hope he's never happy.

dontcallmehon22 · 30/04/2014 13:24

Crying again Sad. He must think I'm a deranged stalker. I feel worthless. I just want to wrap myself up in a blanket and hide.

He just got to me. Feel like my situation is fairly hopeless right now.

dontcallmehon22 · 30/04/2014 14:55

Henry II sent me his number.

whitedoorbell · 30/04/2014 15:40

don't if I send u my number will u text me instead when you feel crap? Being serious now. Don't like to think of you being so upset xx

dontcallmehon22 · 30/04/2014 15:47

Thanks white I would do. I'll be ok. I feel a bit silly that someone I wasn't with for long got to me like that. I know people are saying I shouldn't date for a while and that my situation can't work, which has made me feel worse. I think it can and will get better. I hope so. I just wanted to know he didn't hate me.

UrsulaBuffay · 30/04/2014 17:03

Don't I've acted like a deranged stalker after two dates never mind what you had so don't worry, your message was measured just accept this as confirmation he's a nobber x

SuperFlyHigh · 30/04/2014 17:56

Getting a bit pissed off with MBB who has gone from t

SuperFlyHigh · 30/04/2014 17:59

Sorry hardly any. We swapped mobile numbers texted him and no reply yet.

Maybe he thinks I'm hard work or he's done the running now so doesn't need to bother.

Also he's on a detox saw an accuncturist wasn't keen on drinks preferred lunch but now has postponed drinks until detox over but suggested lunch for Friday. Does that sound plausible? Ok etc?

SuperFlyHigh · 30/04/2014 18:04

dont I don't think there's anything wrong in dating again in fact it takes your mind off Geeky.

But like I said before (and I've had this) you seem so hung up on Geeky it's not helping you move on. You want to hear from him that he doesn't hate you. I don't think he cares (sorry if that's harsh) so he's moved on. You still need affirmation of something, anything from him so you know he cares. If you were over him (I know you're not) you wouldn't care less.

How about maybe his name on bits of paper and burning it maybe with a friend? or does that sound too witch like!

Also I know you don't believe us but one day you'll wake up and think Geeky, Geeky who?! I promise.

FolkGirl · 30/04/2014 18:26

Just had an email. He wants us to go away this weekend, but I've looked and there's no availability with it being a BH weekend. Sad

I think I've finally failed in my bid not to fall in love with him.

I really miss him. I'm seeing him the day after tomorrow and I can't wait.

Oh dear! Grin

I watched The Craft the other week, so yes it does sound a bit witch like.
