Date was nice. Good food and he offered to pay. We had a fair bit in common - both of us were in Bordeaux as students but not at same time. He didn't mention meeting up again but I didn't mind.

Just realised I haven't fancied anyone since I broke up with my ex. How long did your mojo take to come back?

SuperFlyHigh · 14/12/2014 21:08

Dolly I didn't fancy Kent Lad but I did fancy the one before him City Boy let's call him!

Whoever I meet now I'll definitely fancy them and not settle as it did with Kent lad.

SuperFlyHigh · 14/12/2014 21:09

And how long?! No idea i think it varies.

gottafindaman4yagirl · 14/12/2014 21:16

Dolly I got my Mojo back 6 months after I split from exh, I dtd on a first date with a man I really fancied instantly. Did feel emotional after but i had been with exh 12 yrs. I do fancy Major Tom and told him I want to dtd soon. He's very nice to me but I'm just waiting for that to change. I am expecting the worse, I don't know why but once I start to see someone I get anxious and sabotage things. Must be because I don't want to go through emotional stuff like my last split. Plus I worry I am not good a judging men.

jesy · 15/12/2014 09:18

After I split with my sales man it took about nine months x

Morning all. gotta when you seeing MT then?
dolly I know what you mean about not fancying anyone, is very rare for me and keep comparing people to my X. Mind you not sure I would fancy him if I met him for the first time, he has aged badly.
MR Football is doing my head in he is verging on stalkerish, he told me our night was the best he had ever had in his life, really? I am feeling very uncomfortable now and not sure what I can do to stop this

minmooch · 15/12/2014 10:43

Tell him to stop Blossom, tell him you will report him if he continues, then block, block, block. Your instinct is telling you he isnot right. You have no need to do anything other than protect yourself, don't worry what he thinks.

Blossomflowers · 15/12/2014 11:16

min You are right of course. I feel guilty really should not have led him on. He is giving me the creeps now.

dippinmytoe · 15/12/2014 12:07

blossom you haven't led him on at all... He got too carried away and ott about the situation. block him from contacting you , hopefully he doesn't know your address ?

Blossomflowers · 15/12/2014 12:17

dipp he does as I dtd the deed which I regret. He not being horrible just gushing and over investing too much. I only have myself to blame and Jack Daniels. Blush

dippinmytoe · 15/12/2014 12:22

Lol... We have all done it.. just tell him to calm down, if that doesn't work block him. Don't beat yourself up over dtd, you got drunk , it happened, another experience.

gottafindaman4yagirl · 15/12/2014 12:34

Blossom I'm seeing my stalker Wednesday lol. Major Tom is getting excited about things, I just want to dtd and see how it goes. I told him I didn't want to be foolish and he seems too keen, put him in his place regarding the ott stuff. He wants to get intimate but also spend time with me, cinema and lunch.
Still wondering what to expect if he gets over excited and his sexual anxiety.
Blossom Did you get a creepy vibe before the JD? He might just be anxious, really into you and wants you to know
Would you consider a daytime meet to see if he is a stalker type.

gottafindaman4yagirl · 15/12/2014 12:49

Do men ever regret going with their sexual urges and dtd or just enjoy it and get on with it.
If it was consensual safe sex then I don't think it matters. Its how we view it, I dtd last Xmas with exh after being split a month. I felt horrible afterwards, not a one night stand or stranger. My head was not in the right frame of mind.

Blossomflowers · 15/12/2014 12:52

gotta I am finding his ott attitude creepy rather than him iykwim.

gottafindaman4yagirl · 15/12/2014 13:13

Just tell him your moving abroad :) The date I had that called me a milf just texted, missing our texting.

Blossomflowers · 15/12/2014 13:21

LOL, gotta do you think be will beleive me.

My X seems to regret our encounters whenever it happens.

gottafindaman4yagirl · 15/12/2014 13:46

I have no sexual attraction for my ex which makes it easier. He's a great dad and I know if I need help he would be there for me. Its sad but he's got mental health problems which make everything day life extra hard and he couldn't give me a full and healthy relationship.
I would just tell Mr Football you enjoyed the night together but your not over your ex. That will probably make him limp :)

jesy · 15/12/2014 15:31

Not long bumped into Mr IT

Why I still care I wish didn't tho , he said didn't look well which is true and if he got a gift for me ,that he had since the summer before we ended

See if I'd gone for petrol last night this wouldn't happened lol

"As long as she isnt a bike" Ugh Misogyny alert.

SuperFlyHigh · 15/12/2014 17:25

can't keep up.

Dolly glad date went well good to know you had stuff in common but I agree re them not saying anything (i did say about fancying etc) it's almost like an interview dating men - sometimes it all goes well you feel almost too well sometimes you think oh that was nice, eg meal and then either you like them or they like you (not both like each other) and you think... hmmm?

Blossom i get the feeling you're really not keen on the guy you DTD with... if you were and you wanted to meet him daytime then that's good. it sounds like you were embarrassed at DTD whilst drunk and just want to forget it ever happened.... From my 1 night stand past (not many just some) I recall that when I had the power they were always mad keen to see me again, when I acted all needy they were rushing away from me! Grin

jesy you can't help how you feel for Mr IT - he does sound nice just ensure he doesn't keep you feeling nice thoughts so you can't move on. its a bummer how sometimes when you do stuff go somewhere and you didn't mean to etc you bump into someone you really didn't want to etc.

Rioux so how is a woman a bike exactly?! Confused

I think as we age it doesn't matter so much about DTD earlier or not. I want to get it out the way sooner so I know if I am wasting my time or not.

Me - got 2nd email from Parisian man - seems nice enough. got to reply.

Smooch itself is diabolical in the range of men and cliches I have to say... its a free site maybe that's the reason?!

I had some man say I looked unhappy or something in my profile pic - (I was actually out on V night and getting over same month breakup the week before from Kent Lad) but I was all smiley and nice.... the same man emailed me "stunning" and in his looks about him (profile) he puts "stunning".... Confused

MadeMan · 15/12/2014 17:34

Some people are on the pitch; they think it's all over...

MadeMan · 15/12/2014 17:34

...it is now.
