Take no notice of the doc saying that jesy, you sound perfectly fine. I'm shorter and heavier than you and I've never had a problem pulling men Wink - it's about confidence, that's all really. Fake it till you make it!

JuJuHeyHey · 04/12/2014 22:19

Anybody else get really excited about the idea of a second date and then when you get nearer suddenly feel all 'oh I can't be bothered with this'. What's that all about?! Some sort of weird defence mechanism? From GETTING OUT THERE and HAVING FUN!?? I despair of myself sometimes...

IMNOTYOURBABES · 04/12/2014 22:54

Yes I do the same thing, juju. Don't know why so not much help.

The Viking is getting very friendly, does anyone have any experience of dating a Viking?

Blossomflowers · 04/12/2014 23:09

Hello all, just got back with date with Mr Builder, I actually fancy him physically, lovely eyes, and was a lovely evening. He said he would like to meet again. Hope he is for real, this is rare for me to enjoy a first date.

MadeMan · 04/12/2014 23:13

That's good Blossom. Smile

Blossomflowers · 04/12/2014 23:29

Thanks made I nearly did not go, he was so better in RL, normally the other way around. Hope he feels the same.Will know soon.

jesy · 05/12/2014 09:42

BlossomThat's great, are you waiting for contact after date, I hate waiting when I am keen.

Docmartensanddungarees · 05/12/2014 11:55

Blossom Yay! I'm like you, hardly ever happens! Good luck with date 2.

Juju I have those moments too, but usually if you make yourself go, then it's fun!

Looks like I get to meet my Ms Accent in a few weeks. We have been chatting by text and phone since late September. I know that's far too long, she lives about 4 hours away. I know that's far too far Hmm but my sea is more sparsely populated than the hetero world! Also, shared interests that are hard to find. And she's lovely... and she's hot Wink.

I'm still chatting to a few others but not really interested in meeting up with anyone else til I see if things click with Ms Accent.

dippinmytoe · 05/12/2014 14:45

blossom that is great :-) Hopefully the 2nd date will follow quite soon, then you can hopefully put your ex firmly behind you

gottafindaman4yagirl · 05/12/2014 15:21

Doc Hope things click for you with Ms Accent after the long time you have chatted with her.
I have moved my date with Major Tom, seeing him tomorrow. He's been very keen since we first saw each other, just hope I can get use to his over generous comments and not feel suspicious.Didn't know where to look when he kissed my hand.
Still chatting to two other men who also want to meet up and both seem genuine and lovely.
Blossom I see way to much of my ex, we cam still have a good conversation and easily go watch bands and stuff together. He's even coming over for Xmas for kids. I still care for him but I don't fancy him, he could be my bed mate but I think he still fancies me. I don't think a Boyfriend would be comfortable with how much I see and get on with my ex. If i ever get a boyfriend:)

gottafindaman4yagirl · 05/12/2014 15:23

Best mate and Not Bed mate is what I meant to write.

Blossomflowers · 05/12/2014 15:30

Hi all thanks. Yes had a couple of texts last night, he said he thought I was pretty hot, exchanged a couple of texts. He sent the last have been busy all day, should I reply don't want to appear to eager. I hate this bit, don't want to mess up. Am going out for dinner with X tonight, was arranged earlier in the week.
gotta I am pretty sure not boyfriend would be happy with amount of contact I have with my X also. If I ever get a boyfriend will deal with is if it became a problem

Docmartensanddungarees · 05/12/2014 15:37

Gotta Thanks Smile.. I think if I were you I'd give Major Tom the benefit of the doubt for now, but make sure things don't get too intense before getting to know him.

Blossom I would text today rather than leave it til tomorrow. I'm not sure if things are a bit different in lesbo land.. I always thought they would be, but from what I read on here men are often as prolific with texting! If the last text was last night, you're not going to seem too keen texting the next day.

Blossomflowers · 05/12/2014 15:41

doc Everyone different I suppose, his last text was this morning, think I will just drop him a casual text. Think I have laost my confidence.
Gotta I still think Major Tom sounds cute and worth a 2nd date, you are like me reading too much into stuff.

jesy · 05/12/2014 15:48

Returned my ticket to Xmas party today :-(

I don't wanna go alone and see Mr IT and his gf happy. I really thought I'd be ok but reality is I'll hate it.
A song came on radio today and I just cried.

He said he'll leave ticket on side untill Fri am in case I change mind as his mates have asked if I'm still going but if not he'll refund me any way

Docmartensanddungarees · 05/12/2014 16:16

Blossom I know the feeling.. but from what you've said he's giving really positive signals Smile

Jesy Sorry to hear about the Christmas party. Maybe you will get over Mr IT more quickly if you stop contact and remove him from FB. That's what I would do. I hope you have the opportunity to join in Christmas festivities elsewhere.

jesy · 05/12/2014 16:25

Doc

I still wanna stay mates with him, and I'm happy for them both they seem suited a d she seems a nice girl but deep down I think it was loosing out an Xmas party that hurts more.

No Xmas meals or party's for me I'm afraid , I've never been out for new year and only once on Xmas eve and I k ow ppl say it not cracked up to what ppl say but chance be nice.

I think I'm just emotional I'd stopped taking the pill and think that playing with hormones x

OP posts:
Blossomflowers · 05/12/2014 16:29

Doc he has just replied to my text saying he is working all weekend, might be true but most likely cooling of, who knows. We just have to see and take it easy.

JuJuHeyHey · 05/12/2014 16:33

Well, I've just been cancelled on so I guess I won't have to go out and have fun now. FFS. Instant karma right there. Friday night and no-one to play out with :-(

Think I'm going to deactivate for a while - it's just too time-consuming and distracting over Xmas, when I want to concentrate on having fun with DD and family. And people who actually like me ;-)

dippinmytoe · 05/12/2014 16:36

blossom he could be working! he might also be thinking you are cooling off as taking so long to text back... its a vicious circle. Sometimes you have to go with the flow and see what happens. You could have two more dates with him by the end of next week or be saying .. yes I was right he was a twat.... At some point we all have to take a risk.

dippinmytoe · 05/12/2014 16:38

juju this is a bad time for arranging dates. xmas parties and different gatherings make it hard to nail someone down. Deactivate and start afresh in the new year, a break from online dating might be good

Blossomflowers · 05/12/2014 16:39

juju So sorry to hear that
dipp Yes of course give him the benefit of the doubt as you say it could be all true and just crisis @ work ( is his company) or he could be full of shit. Will have to wait and see.

dippinmytoe · 05/12/2014 16:43

blossom I'm feeling in a positive a mood as things are surprisingly going well for me and the guy I'm seeing... It could all go very wrong Hmm

Blossomflowers · 05/12/2014 16:48

dipp Sounds great, keep us posted. I try to be positive but possibly a little jaded with OLD, find it hard to believe what people say.
