Oh Lord, I am the 'favourite' of a man in a pig mask (freedating.com). I dislike pork can't stand the smell of bacon & really don't want to see any more chipolatas.

& I thought OKC was odd (having a convo at the mo with a guy I have now figured out is a 'dom')

Maybe i should go back to POF

IMNOTYOURBABES · 19/12/2014 20:42

I've decided to steer well clear of anyone married (the viking who is in an 'open' marriage)

Who's dating who tonight? Wink

Ms. Nails just left my house-the bed linen has remained nicely ironed. it was a nice date.i will probably see her again to see how it develops,just need to give it some more time

IMNOTYOURBABES · 19/12/2014 22:08

ordinary - do you iron everything on the bed - sheets, duvet etc? I have never noticed whether the bed linen has been ironed. Too busy with other stuff I guess Grin

gottafindaman4yagirl · 19/12/2014 22:36

Imnot I had a 25 yr old on OK ask if I would like to dominate. Pig mask sounds very Wickerman, what a freak.

I made it clear to MT that I was not keen on working up a appetite untill I got some mental stimulation and lunch. He said he was just please to spend some time with me.

minmooch · 20/12/2014 09:06

Gotta - It seems a very strange scenario - you have discussed that you are going to have sex today/tomorrow. But you are negotiating the lunch before or after sex. All sounds rather bizarre to me. Would you not meet chat eat and only then have sex if you both feel like it? Or even meet have sex if you both really feel like it then eat blah blah. All this discussion of when you are going to DTD would kill the anticipation and spontaneity for me - unless it's part of a dirty talk routine. All seems a bit clinical to me.

newstartforme · 20/12/2014 10:38

Hi all..
blossom hope you okay..

gotta hmm I would not be cockahoop with the emphasis on dtd.. Its part of a relationship not the main course- well if it is then sure as eggs it will fade..

Anyone got any dates tonight?
I have!! am taking it as it comes this time no expectations..

MadeMan · 20/12/2014 11:21

What are you doing tonight on your date newstart, cinema, drinks, a meal?

OP posts:
newstartforme · 20/12/2014 12:02

A meal !! So I do hope we get on??

gottafindaman4yagirl · 20/12/2014 12:22

Min He was hinting about working up an appetite before lunch, I set him straight and he's says he's happy to just spend time with me.
Its still very early days for me to know what MT real intentions, he insists he's genuine. I am just being cautious unto I know him better.
Our date is tomorrow.
I agree that I don't want to pls dtd but did so on this occasion because MT was hinting at sexual problems.

Had a wobble over Mr IT today , I was in our home town when saw his room mate who came over to talk to me.
I did my I'm fine bit , but as soon as he'd gone I started to cry not lots but I realised I still care.

This was meant to get easier lol

newstartforme · 20/12/2014 16:32

Jessy it will get easier ! But it may take a little more time..
I've been heartbroken three times in my life.. First time I met someone else and got over it quickly. Second time I was on the floor for months .. Awful.. I made it worse for myself as I would text him now and then ! We even got back together but then he really showed me what a twat he could be ... This last time it prob was more infatuation really but it still really bloody hurt.. I wasn't even with him long..
Best thing is too avoid every and anything to do with your ex.. It really really is the only way x

jesy · 20/12/2014 16:56

New

I wish it was so simple, I know I won't see him again but it's stupid stuff that you can't avoid things on telly, music even to point of when I see a certain type of car lol

newstartforme · 20/12/2014 17:06

I know jesy it's awful ! Esp the songs ... This is why you got to try and make new memories .. Then one day you/we will be able to listen to those songs and just feel nearly nothing Grin
But God I do know it is hard

jesy · 20/12/2014 17:35

It's so daft new the song he sang to me when we were sat in a n e was on telly the other day and I just stopped in my tracks.

I know he loves her and I'm happy in a odd way , and I'm sure I'll be happy again.
I'm glad I met him, he gave me the confidence to end what I think could have ended up a possible abusive relationship with the man I left him for .
He says we still be mates but I know I have to step back which I have , he has texted tonight to say thank you for gift and .y dog a gift is in post lol

I've not answered as gel be with her now an that their time.

Me I have a cupa tea date tomorrow x

gottafindaman4yagirl · 20/12/2014 19:32

Rioux I want a full relationship with all the perks but I think foundations definitely need to be in place first. He does seem to rush ahead and I need time, not the sort of person to dive in.
We have a date tomorrow but he hasn't suggested anything, I have taken the lead and suggested time and place, not my home.
Would of been nice if he had already suggested something. In my last LT relationship it was left to me to make plans and major choices, would like someone to take charge too.
I'm not sure because I hardly know him, he is working most evenings. He suggest doing future stuff like weekend away which is the kind of thing you plan after being with someone a while.
My Mum and Sister seem to think he sounds great due to his constant contact and nice comments.
I'm not sure, I cant let myself believe a man can be so into me, seems ott.

HelenaDove · 20/12/2014 19:34

Like someone else said........words are cheap.

gottafindaman4yagirl · 20/12/2014 19:40

HelenaSo true.

MadeMan · 20/12/2014 20:24

"My Mum and Sister seem to think he sounds great due to his constant contact and nice comments. "

In my experience family can sometimes see only the best in people. I stopped talking and listening to my family (much as I love them) about personal things because I don't trust what they say as being unbiased; I think they just tell me what I want to hear, like a bunch of 'yes men'.

I have a close male friend that I talk to because he tells it as it is and is blunt to the point.

OP posts:
gottafindaman4yagirl · 20/12/2014 20:32

made My mum also tells me to meet a rich man, I roll my eyes at that.
My family couldn't stand my exh but its ironic that he is the only man who would drop everything to help me.

Magic I am 33, I think women are open to older men. I would of happily gone on dates with men ten years older. But they all had issues or wanted a ego boost with a younger woman. How old do you feel, I think if you have an enthusiasm for life then you can go younger. I dated a man a man 8 yrs younger. If your a genuine guy who knows how to treat a women then you will do well with most women older or younger.

HelenaDove · 20/12/2014 21:38

gotta please be careful The man you are dating is showing a couple of red flags. Google love bombing. He seems to be pressing the acceleration pedal and moving things on very quickly. He should be thinking of your comfort and whether you are hungry or not etc.
