You can't STAY cuddled up. It gets too hot and uncomfortable.

whitedoorbell · 09/05/2014 19:45

awww jesy I like that. I like cuddled up personally but usually only have 1 of the kids for company so guess I am used to it!Smile

neiljames77 · 09/05/2014 20:02

If you're face to face though, aren't you worried you might sneeze in your sleep?

whitedoorbell · 09/05/2014 20:03

spoons I like... either way

jesy · 09/05/2014 20:06

Lol if I was concerned about sneezing I'd be more worried about peeing the bed than sneeze lol

whitedoorbell · 09/05/2014 20:09

Hi all. I thought I better join this just to keep myself in check too.
I am also on online dating, and I have had disappointing experiences too.
What do people say to turn those unsuitable ones away ?

Recently, I found this other guy like messaged me like 3 times ! He created like 4 profiles each time and "visited" me in my profile.

I was seeing my ex, and even during those times, he told me to save him as a back-up. How disrespctful ! He is also a local guy as well. I think I blocked his first profile.

Maisie0 · 09/05/2014 20:16

Q: Do you think it is fair to message two guys at once ? Or should I follow a one to one thing and keep my focus that way ?

I can never tell which is the right way to go through that part. Even when I was dating my ex, we did just message one another, and I did focus, which made me feel very different to the whole experience overall cos I am used to being friends with so many others and do get confused. But now, I do not go out with that many male friends any more. Nor do I mislead them either. I always feel apprehensive in meeting strangers for the first time...

whitedoorbell · 09/05/2014 20:16

maisie if they annoy you block them and move on.

I know it sounds harsh but only way to stay sane lol

whitedoorbell · 09/05/2014 20:19

maisie seems acceptable to mesaage and meet more than one guy until you have the exclusive chat and then you agree to take down yr profiles etc and just see each other.
isnt a problem. You tell the others you are making a go of it with so and so and most will wish you luck.
If it doesn't turn out then you can get back in touch. ..

DeliberatelyDreaming · 09/05/2014 20:20

I need to find one first Jesy. Grin

whitedoorbell · 09/05/2014 20:25

dd dunno the age of your kida but mine are all small and don't go away overnight ever.

so an all night date is the stuff of dreams for me till I am ready to have someone stay here with me... which is a big step for me Sad

DeliberatelyDreaming · 09/05/2014 20:27

Maisie Anyone who pesters or scares you - block! Don't feel bad, just do it.

DeliberatelyDreaming · 09/05/2014 20:36

White Mine are grown up to an age where I rarely see them lol. I am pretty much free to do my own thing now.

Maisie0 · 09/05/2014 20:44

White But would guys truly want you to get back in touch even if you have rejected them before ? ....

It has been very weird. Since my break up with my ex. I think we tried, but we truly found that we couldn't let go of all the emotional ties that we have here in our respective countries. I found myself having a dream about a previous guy I met when I was younger.

I don't know if all this dating thing is really messing up with my mind and subconsious as well.

I think I will go ahead and block this local guy. Yes, this is truly messing up with my mind !

((( Jarlin ))) I'm so sorry. He does make you feel like a second thought doesn't he? You have to decide if that's enough for you.

whitedoorbell · 09/05/2014 20:52

jarlin do not go there.

god knows I beat myself around the head for hours with the "I'm not good enough" stick. it seems like that now because you are hurting.

which one of your buttons is he pressing? Every time yoi feel yourself listening to thay gremlin drown him out... I thought this was all mad crap till I tried it and it doea work.
if you tell yourself "I am beautiful and I deserve the best" enough times you will believe it. Smile

Maisie0 · 09/05/2014 20:55

Jarlin Aww Jarlin. I think that his question about whether you will meet up with him and his mates are like "do you past the mates test". ;)

I remember one time whereby I was asked by a guy I was seeing to see his friends too, and obviously I thought that we were going for a romantic one to one date until I saw the whole group. My draw dropped. Lol...

Er... and then this is where I saw his friends, and everyone was superawkard, INCLUDING the girls who likes him, likes him. I was or almost fell off m bandwagon. :)

I think if you like him, then maybe say something like "not ready to meet the friends yet, but hoping for more meets up with you as one to one". Maybe he will understand then ?

whitedoorbell · 09/05/2014 20:57

maisie honestly I don't know but I said that someone

I would like to think that people prefer loyalty and honesty. I would rather someone focus on me alone to see if it's a goer not worrying they are talking to half a dozen others when I am not about Hmm
