Question Does anyone else find it a turn off if someone messages with hun or babe, too many xxxx. Guy I'm meeting tomorrow used Hun and gave four kisses in his last text. Maybe its the towie location I live, I am originally from London.

gotta why on earth does Dino think that is all women want? his big below?! LOL

gotta yes if they don't know you (eg you're not dating) then hun and babe should be saved for then...

I'm SE London, no idea if that goes more in Towie area (Essex?).

SuperFlyHigh · 25/11/2014 14:22

Jesy why won't you meet Mr Carpet? what have you got to lose?!

SuperFlyHigh · 25/11/2014 14:23

gotta - yes re your daytime date you do need an exit plan...

depending on time of day, could be a home emergency or kids? does your elderly frail mother (sorry if you do have one!) live nearby and suddenly falls?

If it's a super quick meet up (time wise) then just say you have to be back where you're supposed to be - work etc.

gottafindaman4yagirl · 25/11/2014 14:40

super I have a exit plan ready, will give my mum a loo update too.
He says he is excited to meet, I am just going to go along and see what happens, he's younger than me but local and it will cost me very little to meet him.
Essex it is.

SuperFlyHigh · 25/11/2014 14:52

gotta

oh not a million miles from me then...

I used to be friends with a girl who lived in Stratford, we frequented some bars in Brentwood (Sugar hut etc) and some other Essex bars - don't ask me the names...

nowt wrong with younger than thou... Smile

jesy · 25/11/2014 14:55

Super

I plan to if he comes this way again this week, least I know what he like

gottafindaman4yagirl · 25/11/2014 15:38

Super He's 7 years younger, but I do find men look older for their age than women. But realistically I need to look closer to my age for a mental connection. Mr Young(24) kept making little remarks regarding me being older, I'm 33 and no grey hair yet he had grey hairs :)
Getting quite a few hellos on pof since putting profile back on yesterday. No one I fancy yet , chatting to one bloke my age who seems ok so far.
Anyone else using pof or ok, any other free sites worth trying?

Blossomflowers · 25/11/2014 16:26

gotta I quite like POF, think OKCupid total pants. Freedating.com got a big response but only a couple worth talking to.

dippinmytoe · 25/11/2014 16:37

gota I was on pof and match... They all seem to have moments where they are good and other times they are dismal. I Have date 2 tonight with the guy from Saturday night. We have both been messaging alot.... so Fingers crossed

MadeMan · 25/11/2014 16:47

@Super - Just say something along the lines of, "I've been watching you two closely on Twitter and I see that you're moving soon; by the way what's your volunteer friend's name and mobile number because I like him?"

Feel free to change it a bit and word it in your own way of course. Wink

SuperFlyHigh · 25/11/2014 16:53

MadeMan I'm not being funny but does that no smack of stalker to you?! I've only met this couple ONCE! admitedly it was spending an afternoon with them and others and the hottie....

Why don't YOU do it for me?! Wink am sure you can come up with a better excuse than me....

MadeMan · 25/11/2014 16:54

@Jesy - Why is he called Mr Carpet? Does he wear a wig?

MadeMan · 25/11/2014 16:56

@Super - Okay, I'll say to them, "I've been watching this woman closely on Mumsnet and I see that she likes your volunteer mate; what's his name and mobile phone number?" Smile

gottafindaman4yagirl · 25/11/2014 17:04

Dipping Second dates always a good sign, have fun and hope it goes well.

jesy · 25/11/2014 17:46

Mademan

"I think he a carpet fitter"

I've always thought that might be a good job; I love the smell of new carpet and sleeping on it. Smile

missnatalie70 · 25/11/2014 18:06

Brief outline, been seeing a really sweet, nice guy for a couple of months. Lots of texting, not really spoke much over the phone, had 4 or 5 dates and I have slept with him a couple of times over 6 weeks ago. Recently I had a few days off and although working that day, he was also free. We spoke on the phone and he said that as I was off work, he 'may' come over my way. Anyhow, that same night I get a text from him saying he was in a club!!! I was completely blind sided! Later that night, I get another text saying he wished he was with me for 'hugs'. I did not reply. Why can't these guys man up? When he can't see me, he wants to, when he can see me, he doesn't!? He has a lot of friends who are 8-12 years younger than him, a lot are females but he doesn't want to be with them or he would wouldnt he? I dont have a problem with that or wo he goes round with.

Has anyone experienced this kind of man before? Could it end well? What should I do?

MadeMan · 25/11/2014 18:12

"He has a lot of friends who are 8-12 years younger than him"

missnat Is he their designated driver and the one who buys them their fags from the garage? Every young crowd seems to know one older bloke that acts as a cabbie and hangs around with them; we had one when we were young. Grin

jesy · 25/11/2014 18:16

Mademan

I feel a bit guilty as I always liked him.
Nothing will come of it but bit of flirting won't hurt

Whoknew2014 · 25/11/2014 18:26

superhighfly that made me laugh. how can these people be so random. Thong?

scrambled eggs how did it go?! Did you like him?

miss natalie in my experience, these things don't end well, in that they don't start and they don't end. You end up being on lay by for them in case they want you but you don't get your own needs met. As far as you are concerned at least, they are not available. Gee, that sounds therapy'ish ... three years it took me to realise that and I'm still in love with Mr. Unavailable on one level ... I find that I am still pleasantly surprised when someone I like actually wants to meet me when we are both free (just organised a very last minute date with Mr. Nicebutistherechemistry?)

missnatalie70 · 25/11/2014 18:27

MadeMan He is 41, he is not their cabbie as he has a drink when they go out

jesy · 25/11/2014 18:32

Think I've been an idiot .
Just realised I don't hear from builder out of work hours ,oh well eh I've messaged him we will see .
Was looking forward to the weekend as well .

OP posts:
gottafindaman4yagirl · 25/11/2014 19:06

jesy Can you give him a call in the evening or suggest it.
Miss Doesn't sound good, if someone is onto you then they should want to see you whenever possible. Dating and finding a suitable match is hard.
