This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever posted. Confused

I've been dating a guy for a few months. I've stayed at his before. We're going to dinner tonight and I'd like to drink & have more time together so I'd have to stay at his.

Thing is I'm on. Do I just say "I'll stay but I'm not shagging you", or would the proper thing to do be to just drive home?

I'm so shit at dating!!!

OP, just comfort yourself with the fact that it can't go any more wrong for you, whatever you choose to do or say when compared to me:

Many moons ago I met a nice boy at a party full of mutual friends. I went back to his house for the night, shagged him, we did oral on each other, the works. The morning after the night before, we had sex again and the nice chap had to point out to me that I had started menstruating during. Thank fuck he wasn't going down on me at the time, only fucking was the only thing I had to be grateful for.

He was nice and offered to go to the shop and get me some tampons. Reader, I married him.

He's a vegetarian as well.

themidwife · 12/05/2014 22:31

Oh dear - I'm crying laughing at Dolmio!!!

Meanwhile my DH couldn't give a toss whether I'm on or not & despite being a vegetarian goes down very happily prior to the contortionist style mooncup removal but that first couple of heavy days I'm just not very friendly so he's out of luck anyway!!

MultipleMama · 12/05/2014 22:31

HotSauceCommittee - DH & I are Vegetarians too Grin

Hm, you've been seeing him for a few months. How about:

You [serious face] 'Mr X, You know how I haven't had my period since we started sleeping together a few months ago...?'

Him [White as a ghost] ..'Yes'..?

You 'Well I've got it now! Haha - had you there for a moment'

TequilaMockingbirdy · 12/05/2014 22:49

Just get those sponges.

I can't remember what they're called.

Anyway they're little sponges that enable you to have sex when you're on

MrsWinnibago · 12/05/2014 22:51

Are people really this precious about it? Just bloody tell him! He won't die of knowledge!

TequilaMockingbirdy · 12/05/2014 22:51

www.beppyusa.com/product.htm these!

MrsWinnibago · 12/05/2014 22:55

They look rather superior to the mooncup Tequila

TequilaMockingbirdy · 12/05/2014 22:57

I've used them before, they're really comfortable.

holdyourown · 12/05/2014 22:58
Grin the midwife does your dh remove the mooncup? Shock

the sponges?? Shock what are those?

maybe a sponge condom needs to be invented Grin

holdyourown · 12/05/2014 22:59

oh yes I see tequilla
but why the lavender scent Confused

LaurieFairyCake · 12/05/2014 23:00

Arsenal are at home

I just spat my tea out Grin

That's fabulous

MultipleMama · 12/05/2014 23:01

Those sponges look good, but I'd want nothing scented up there, and I prefer something medical grade! I'll stick to my mooncup :)

Honestly, just tell him you're on your period. If he's so impatient that he cannot wait 4-7 days for your period to pass before you "shag", then tell him to have wank and stop being selfish. If you tell him, and give him the option that you're stilling willing on your period, then the balls in his court.

themidwife · 12/05/2014 23:02

Oh no I wouldn't trust him not to spill it!!

holdyourown · 12/05/2014 23:04

I'd want nothing scented up there

I'm splitting my sides at this thread Grin

MultipleMama · 12/05/2014 23:05

themidwife - I let DH try once to remove, he had so much trouble trying to get the suction off. It makes me wonder how he manages to unclip my bra and put on a condom... Hmm

holdyourown · 12/05/2014 23:06
Shock
AnyFucker · 12/05/2014 23:06

MM, are you sure he doesn't try to unclip the condom and put on your bra ? < arf >

MultipleMama · 12/05/2014 23:07

Well, I don't see the point, it's not like he's gunna stick his nose up there and go, "Ohh, that smells lovely, dear, let me get a closer sniff."

holdyourown · 12/05/2014 23:08
Grin 'is that.... lavender, I can smell?...'
themidwife · 12/05/2014 23:09

Snigger! It's quite an art isn't it?! I'd also be scared he'd try to drag the whole thing out taking me with it!!

TequilaMockingbirdy · 12/05/2014 23:10

Oh they weren't bloody scented when I used them!

Why lavender? You don't want a sodding herb that's renowned for aiding sleep when someone's got their head between your legs.

MultipleMama · 12/05/2014 23:11

AF, honestly, it wouldn't bloody surprise me. The simplest of things can be a challenge for him Grin
