Carrot listen to Hissy.
Have swapped numbers with bloke I snapped @ earleir he sounds nice and feel a bit mean so will give him a chance. Will see what happens. Am ignoring MR Gardener as his texts became lewder as the day went on. Was expecting my first cock shot today but thankfully not happened. What a shame he sounded ideal and am surprised he turned like that. Do men really think woman would be impressed with crap like that?

gottafindaman4yagirl · 11/11/2014 18:35

I just told him maybe some other time, he said he still wants to see me. I'm a bit confused. Not too bothered about him being skint, just not use to a man saying so. I thought it might of been an excuse but he still wants to come over.

Hi all. Don't know if anyone remembers me. I got my heart broken by geeky in Feb this year. In august I met blondegeeky. We had a lovely little relationship that has just ended with no contact from him. Gutted. No more dating for me.

DollyDreamboat · 11/11/2014 19:29

Why, what happened? Confused

dippinmytoe · 11/11/2014 19:37

Oh no dont what happened ?? big hugs

Hissy · 11/11/2014 19:45

Hissy · 11/11/2014 19:47

carrot if a guy wants to see you, he'll see you. he'll make it happen.

Hi everyone! I was on this thread way back, forever ago actually. I decided that I actually couldn't even be arsed dating back then. But I'm back again now! I've just read through the thread and caught up.

Hissy it must have been so hard for you, feeling that connection, and him not doing anything about it as he is scared/not ready. Hats off to you for getting straight back out there.
Gotta does it have to be a drink? Do you finish work early enough that you could go for a walk in a park or something like that? Buy a cuppa from Greggs to keep you warm!
Blossom Urgh, hate sex related messages from someone you don't even know. Can't think of much less sexier to be honest.

So, I had a first date with a guy last week, not sure whether to see him again. He was nice, there was nothing there to say don't see him again, but I'm just not sure. I've got another first date lined up for tomorrow, so I'll reassess after that, see if I want to see either again! Number 2 looks lovely and smily in his photos, but we've barely even spoken, so don't really know what to expect from him.

gottafindaman4yagirl · 11/11/2014 20:12

Break He's coming To mine for coffee , I thought he was giving me the brush off.

No harm having a second date and if it goes better than the first then great but if you can't wait to go home and be alone. Better to be sure than wonder if you could of had mote dates.

I had a good first date, great phone conversation but on second date something felt off, he started to Text about my underwear and stuff and gave me the creeps.

MadeMan · 11/11/2014 20:19

"Not too bothered about him being skint..."

It's not great though is it. I wouldn't tell a woman I was skint, I'd just say I was busy.

"...he started to Text about my underwear..."

That's also not great.

DollyDreamboat · 11/11/2014 20:25

I agree with MadeMan. That would seem to me like he's paving the way to not taking you out anywhere. And no, I don't think men should pay, I've always paid my way, but otherwise it's just a booty call, innit.

dontcallmehon22 · 11/11/2014 20:28

He invited me to his for xmas. Declared love. Bought presents. Introduced me to family/friends. Told me to trust him. I got really drunk and embarrassed him in front of his friends last week. Then I drank to much again and got a bit stroppy as he kept cancelling dates to babysit for his sister. I felt bad and wanted to say sorry. He withdrew. I pushed him. He said 'we'll talk tomorrow.' we never did. He's blocked me on Facebook and ignored me.

dontcallmehon22 · 11/11/2014 20:34

Oh by pushed him, I mean pressed for an answer!!

MadeMan · 11/11/2014 20:36

@Dont - Sounds a bit like six-of-one-half-a-dozen-of-the-other to me somehow, except he's seemingly got the upper hand at the moment by pulling a moody and blocking/ignoring you.

He'll probably get in touch at some point though.

dontcallmehon22 · 11/11/2014 20:38

I hope he does, but I'm resigned to it being over now.

DollyDreamboat · 11/11/2014 20:40

How did you embarrass him?

dontcallmehon22 · 11/11/2014 20:43

Oh God. Had too much wine. Was sick in the toilet in the restaurant. Leaned on him and nearly fell asleep. Then said that he had a better postcode, but his house could fit in my garden. In front of friends he wanted to impress

dontcallmehon22 · 11/11/2014 20:43

I really liked him but I'm an idiot

MadeMan · 11/11/2014 20:56

Well at least you weren't doing your Russian impressions again, Dont. Smile

I wouldn't say you were an idiot for having too much wine, but I suppose this will be a first proper test to see how things turn out between you both now.

dontcallmehon22 · 11/11/2014 21:01

This is true mademan. Pretty sure it is over though, as I panicked and pre preemptively dumped him after he ignored a couple of whatsapp messages asking to talk. I told him he was lovely and I hoped he met someone perfect for him. Then blocked. Then he blocked me on Facebook. I still have his iPad, so rang to see if he wanted it back. No answer. Left a message. Any more contact would be stalking now.

To be honest, I think his attraction cooled a little too.

MadeMan · 11/11/2014 21:11

"I still have his iPad"

That's a much better bargaining tool than the usual customary left behind jacket or coat; surely he'll have to get back in touch with you for that?

dontcallmehon22 · 11/11/2014 21:13

Maybe. He can't whatsapp or Facebook me, but he could ring, text or email. Knowing him, I think he'll not get in touch and let me keep it though.

I wanted a relationship but all I got was this lousy iPad Grin
