HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE

Good for you Jesy, New Year New Start
Well I've had a strange start to the year, I posted a couple of weeks ago I had been on a couple of dates with a guy, then he went quiet. To cut a long story short he got back in touch and we have texted most days although we haven't met up due to other things going on for both of us.
Anyway, we texted most of yesterday, said we would meet up soon etc. Everytime we text he always starts to turn it around to being quite flirty but i thought always tongue in cheek. So we start flirting, he was out with friends I was in my friends house as it was NYE both of us had too much to drink. The flirting got a bit heavy. I said things I wouldn't normally say but al the time we both had a jokey thing going on. So anyway it ended up with him saying to me can I send you something, me being nieve I said ok and I got a "Cock shot" I went crazy told him never to contact me again. He said what did you think I was going to send, tbh I had far too much wine and didn't really think about it. I was as flirty with him and I suppose I did encourage him but I never thought he'd send a photo.
So I have been really stupid I did like him he made me laugh. I should have ttopped things before they went to far. I feel really bad, he is probably mortified :(

Yep, all the flashers are now online dating. They have a compulsion to flash their junk and no longer have to sit in the bushes wearing an overcoat and half trousers.

It didn't last long sat crying at mo

JESY,this time of year is hard for most people. You need to be positive. I'm older than you (52 tomorow in fact) and when I think back on the years I wasted and not getting on with my life because I was hung up on My ex (my oldest daughters dad) always dreaming we'd get back together. You can't get these years back Jesy, get out there, take work on don't look back. x

Steel

I know I'm just lonely

steelchic · 01/01/2015 14:36

Jesy I don't want to be harsh, but only you can do something about that. Maybe if you d id take the agency work you were talking about it would give you something else to focus on. Keep busy don't keep looking to the past and what could have been, life is too short x

jesy · 01/01/2015 14:45

Steel

I am keeping busy, ill call agency on Monday
I've just been chatting to somebody's off pof , on paper we like same stuff , cooking , tv , films

But had to laugh he messaged me saying he just in the lounge at the football having a few drinks asked what team he said and well all I can say is omg not again lol

steelchic · 01/01/2015 14:51

Jesy, when I feel down I think of all the people who are worse of than me. All the horrible things that happen to people ( like the accident in Glasgow just a few days before CHristmas ,people out shopping and just in the wrong place at the wrong time) Look at the positives and count my blessings. I soon snap out of it x

steelchic · 01/01/2015 15:49

Oh god. I've just had a message from my guy apparently that was a joke it wasn't his willie, it was off internet, he thought it was funny.Full of apologise for freaking me out
Now i look at it it was a bit professional looking and most guys in RL are not so well endowed :(

MadeMan · 01/01/2015 15:55

"I've just had a message from my guy apparently that was a joke it wasn't his willie..."

That's even worse, surely? So he's Googling for pictues of other men's willies because he's too embarrssed to send you a pic of his own cauliflower shaped one? Nice!

What a load of bollocks ......literally! Of course it was his knob, hes backtracking now hes realised you are not the sort of person he could get away with sending that to.

IMO there should be a couple of prosecutions for blokes who do that. There would be if he jumped out from behind a hedge and did it so why not through the internet and smartphone. One well publicized prosecution is all it would take. Two at the most. And that would lessen the amount of prats who do it.

Hissy · 01/01/2015 17:21

happy new year! here's to a positive and healthy 2015 for all!

update: MrPerfectOnPaper came back!

emailed me through OKC on Sunday, long and heartfelt message, he'd never stopped thinking about me, and hoped i'd give him a chance to explain/apologise/make up for flaking out.

in 2months I only ever managed to put him to one side in my brain, he was always there. even on Sunday, something completely random made him pop into my head. all kinds of situations i'd think. 'MrPoP needs to be here..' not having him there made me feel very sad, and I knew that anyone else woud be a compromise. I tried talking to others, and while it was fun, there was always something missing.

so we spoke there and then, went on a super date the next night, and just spent NYE together. magical. smitten. mutually :)

given everything we share in common, we're going to put in whatever effort it takes to make a serious go of this relationship, to see where it can go.

with the list of stuff we complement each other on, the sky's the limit. seriously.

2015 is gonna kick ass!
