Just checking in as I don't post much but always love reading the thread.

I'm now officially 'exclusive' with TT. We've been on/off dating since august and after getting pretty fed up of his flaky attitude I basically told him to p**s off! I then met another had a few dates but TT was always in my mind and I knew he would get in touch again as he always did. He then bombarded me with messages n texts saying he wanted me, missed me and wanted to make a go of it...so I ditched the other guy. That was 3 weeks ago and so far so good....we've took down our profiles, met family n friends and talking of the future so I've got my fingers crossed Grin

Btw this was a guy who although said wanted a relationship was very reluctant to commit, kept me at arms length and very guarded. Totally let his defences down n very loving, rings and texts loads and makes me feel very secure.

I don't think anyone on here has met up together in real life while I've been here, Rioux. Smile

Super I was kind of tongue in cheek about having to go halves. I realise it's near Xmas and money's going to be tight for all of us. I'm still not sure I'm handling the process of right. If it's a drink I just let the guy sort it. If dinner I always offer to go halves. But I then seem to ramble about not being sure what to do if they want to split the bill.

I've been surprised by my last two dates. Both guys I thought I got on well with. They certainly weren't in a hurry to get away - both lasted about two and a half hours - but neither asked if I wanted to meet up again. But then I've had one other where the conversation was stilted and he wanted to. Just don't get guys. Conversation is important to me but maybe they're more looks driven?

That's good Pink.

Just popping in to catch up. Nothing new with me, I'm just waiting until I get to meet Ms Accent, not keen to go on any other dates in the meantime.

Blossom I don't think I could cope with that, sounds way too intense saying all those things!

Gotta Looking forward to hearing how today goes.

Ladies... for real, going halves = unlikely to get a second date??? I am more likely to be offended if somebody insists that they do pay. It's only accepted on the understanding that next time it's my shout. That indicates I'm happy for there to be a next time!

Docmartensanddungarees · 17/12/2014 13:36

Rioux and Jesy it's good to hear you enjoyed your afternoon. Mate dates are great, no pressure!

Dolly just seen your post saying you're happy to pay halves!
There have been times I've got on really well with someone then never heard from them again. Maybe they happened to meet someone else just before/after who they had more chemistry with. Who knows!

Blossomflowers · 17/12/2014 13:40

pink that is lovely, nice to hear happy news for a change.

Ooh err Rioix we were only asking

Blossomflowers · 17/12/2014 13:55

Think stress is getting to me. Just sent a very tart message because guy has very blurry pic he said it is because he is either married or ashamed, apparently we should get to know our inner self. Yes ok then,

jesy · 17/12/2014 14:25

Blossom

It was nice , even if I got to have the Manley drink and he didn't lol

Awwww Rioux that post was really sweet but also speaking from the mind as well as the heart.....and you seem like a very good catch to me Smile

Had date day with MT, well I'm now having a large wine and digesting the events of dtd. The ground didn't move, he was very nervous but eager to skip lunch and get back to mine. It was all very soft, not him to start but his way. But not as bad as I thought it would be.Not a marathon either. I'm not sure, didn't help that I had a terrible nights sleep.and no lunch:( He couldn't manage a second round but I wont hold that against him:) I'm not sure, suppose to have a day together Sunday.

gottafindaman4yagirl · 17/12/2014 16:39

To add he was very sweet and wanted to do loads of cuddling and kissing after which I have never had. I don't want to be hard on him, I'm sure he's probably wondering if I was satisfied with his performance, wont go into too much detail but when I tried to shake it up on round two he lost his wood:(

Ahhh gotta that's great it wasn't a disaster Smile are you still happy to see him at the weekend ?

Pinklaydee1302 · 17/12/2014 18:06

Grin Rioux....yes I must remember not to flirt!

It would just be my luck to get another offer now I'm seeing someone after 2 years of searching for the right person.

Not saying TT is the man of my dreams just yet....he a little selfish in bed truth be told. At the moment tho it's not bothering me but I'll sort that out in a couple of months Wink

I think in my case Rioux and I hasten to add I'm not speaking on behalf of all women I'm just happy with regular loving sex at mo...but I'll groom him to my way of making love once I get frustrated Wink

gottafindaman4yagirl · 17/12/2014 21:17

I need to groom MT I think, we cant have everything I suppose. MT is not selfish but tame I think, our first time though. I'm no expert after only having slept with a handful of men, but don't want to waste my early thirties.
Apparently after 35 it gets hard to get dates.
