Super sounds like he's going to be down south quite a bit, just wants to give me pleasure.
Barry white sex?

gotta yea I have had a few practice sessions since split with my X. X has invited me for lunch and sunday papers and MR Football wants to meet up, have chosen X option???? Don't know why really.

gottafindaman4yagirl · 13/12/2014 22:48

Blossom You must have some strong bond with ex, I do with mine. But my ex could never show me anything other than partnership and respect the fact that I was the mother of his children.
I would pick my ex for security and friendship but I need intimacy and to feel attractive.
Being with my ex feels like putting on a pair of comfy shoes. I still know I will never feel that first love feeling I had with my ex, he broke my heart years ago.
Ignore me, I'm on my third glass :)

gottafindaman4yagirl · 13/12/2014 22:50

Feeling all sentimental, I don't know if I will fall on love again. Is that something we only do in our teens.

"What do you think is the best thing to wear for a Sunday lunch date? "

How about a woolly jumper and jeans or something similarly casual (and warm)? I personally like seeing women in nice jumpers at this time of year. Smile

gottafindaman4yagirl · 13/12/2014 23:09

I would wear whatever I felt most attractive in but also comfortable. Also if its a place with heating then I would consider a tight top and cardigan. I do tend to get hot and flustered.

Jesy Sorry to hear you were feeling rubbish last night.
There's alot of pressure with all the adverts and hype to have a glittering Christmas with loads of family around, couples buying that special gift for the one they love. That was my Christmas but now it will be awkward with ex popping over, for me Christmas is for the kids and I will be relieved when its done and dusted. I have 12 yrs of memories of Christmases with ex, I have to have ex over for the kids. Will be my first Christmas night spent alone though, not sure how i will feel come the end of the day. Probably drunk :)

Gotta

Only ever had one Xmas morning with a bf but that wasn't best as both I'll, in fact wen I got home I open gifts and went to sleep.
We texted ext but I can't even do that this year as he got his family now.
I even included his gf and her baby in the card I wrote to him x

I know all the stuff on f. With the party's is rubbish as I saw pics of these two hugging and I know they hate each other lol

In a bit of a pickle. Was feeling fantastic last week or so. Really felt that I was finally over my ex and could focus on dating and finding someone new. Then on way home from party last night a mutual friend asked if I'd been in touch with him recently and told me how he was and about his new girlfriend. When she was speaking I felt like someone was standing on my chest and I didn't sleep well.

We were together 2 years and it's been 9 months since we broke up. So don't know why it still hurts so much when someone speaks about him. Although my only real strategy for getting over him has to be to avoid him and pretend he doesn't exist. We broke up because he couldn't see us getting married.

I'm only really casually dating as not met anyone I'd like to see more than once. But I am conscious that I'm 35 and would like a family so don't feel I've got time to waste blubbing over someone who doesn't want me.

jesy · 14/12/2014 13:23

Dolly

I know what you mean you think your over them and some thing knocks you for six, when I was shown an engagement ring my ex got his gf I cried and cried.

I think sometimes we think we are doing ok but get knocked back.

Keep going hun

Rioux it was a shock break up and that's partly why i'm still reeling while he's moved on. I just didn't see it coming. I watched his sister get married last December and I remember wondering how long before our turn.
I also can't picture myself with anyone else.
Anyway 10 mins til date with Hugo. So I'd better be off!

gottafindaman4yagirl · 14/12/2014 14:02

Dolly I wish I could just move on and forget the past, I have two dc with my exh. We will always be involved, I don't know how he will react if i got a steady boyfriend. We get on ok now, due to kids he will always know roughly what's going on in my life. And i don't want to think how difficult it is introducing a new partner to kids.
Life is short Dolly and we need to remind ourselves that we deserve to be happy be it finding a caring partner or starting a family. I imagine its difficult when you want children, that is finding the right man who also wants children.
Both of mine dc were unplanned pregnancies and i am glad i had them young. Don't want anymore and told Major Tom on second date. I don't think people take it serious enough regarding wanting children. It can be a real longing I imagine.
I don't suppose men feel the same longing as women do, also a age thing too.

"New years tends to wind me up more then Xmas to be honest."

Oh yes, New Years Eve is a waste of time in my opinion; everyone waits around all night to shout out Happy New Year and then they all generally go to bed within half hour. Complete anti-climax and only an excuse to get pissed all night; I ignore New Years and carry on eating mince pies and xmas pud.

I love Christmas; hate New Years Eve.

jesy · 14/12/2014 14:24

Made man
