Candle light and soul forever
A dream of you and me together
Say you believe it, say you believe it

Free your mind of doubt and danger
Be for real, don't be a stranger
We can achieve it, we can achieve it

Come a little bit closer
Baby, get it on, get it on
'Cause tonight is the night when 2 become 1

You two are pretty cute blossom :)

Lurkingforanswers · 19/03/2015 18:03

Britney If I were you I'd still meet on Saturday but as someone up thread suggested, only for short meet for a coffee. I say this for two reason. One that it's in your best interests just to have an initial quick meet and two, that if he is messing you around maybe this will make him realise that your not desperate for a date and there's a possibility you'll take one look,stay for one drink and goSmile

Rasp After what you've just said I would take a break then as you've so much to keep you busy that I think you'll feel more relaxed and happy when you've got all the things that need doing done.

Blossom I'm loving the way it's going with sailor. That's what I like, no messing around. If you like someone you make it known with regular communication. There doesn't seem to be any angst or miscommunication with you two.

Super I think it's actualy better if you go for someone who's not your type and not someone who you'd go out with for their looks alone. It shows you really like someone.

britneyspearscatsuit · 19/03/2015 18:23

I don't think I can change it to just a coffee as he's with his children in the day and he's gone to a bit of effort planning an evening so I best just go to that.

The funny thing is I DO think we would get along wonderfully but things have just gone so far off the boil after al this texting without meting that I get the feeling both of us are actually a bit scared now.

I don't think he's playing me if I think about it calmly and logically.

britney I personally wouldn't meet him... If he has made this many excuses already , it's the way it's going to be. I speak from experience... I was chatting to a guy last yr , we would arrange to meet and then something would come up! We got chatting again since my split with mr older, again agreed to meet and cancelled !! As for going awol ... He will continue to do that! unless he is on Mars , no excuse for not contacting.

Still no dates , have deleted my pof profile , and recreated one and hidden it ! The guy I'm chatting to for last two weeks is finally free next week , so hopefully we can meet.
blossom glad you and Mr sailor got on... All sounds lovely Grin

rasp I often find a break from dating helps. I know with me , it kinda takes over all my time

RaspberryBeret34 · 19/03/2015 22:16

Ah blossom sailor sounds lovely :)

Super I think it is good to go for a different type every now and then, he sounds nice - tall and slim is good. The men I've dated since my ex (and in fact my ex H as well) are ALL brown eyes, dark hair. I don't seem to find anythign else attractive Hmm. They've been different types in other ways though.

Britney sounds to me like he's on thin ice but think a one chance meet up with you being wary would be a good plan.

Yes, dippin exactly that on taking up all your time! I think after a month I'll probably feel all positive and happy about it again (but will try and do it in a careful way...).

Jesy good luck!! ShockGrin

Lurking thanks, yes - think I'll just see how I go. Maybe without any dating I'll get super organized in a matter of days Hmm.

I'm off for my weekend away tomorrow morning so huge amounts of luck to all the daters Grin and I'll catch up Monday night.

Newtodating · 19/03/2015 23:11

Have a lovely w/e rasp

jesy · 20/03/2015 06:59

Morning all.

Darts was fun , no major casualties although I did manage to kill the carpet a few times.

Spoke to my mate, she don't know what to do still, he texted and explained having a rough time , both have agreed that dtd was a mistake but a nice one x

What is everyone up to weekend ?

Reallyme71 · 20/03/2015 07:34

Morning all Smile I know I am missing people out but a quick catch up from me. Weekend plans for me-- party tonight with Mr M and he will meet my more extended family and friends. Riding tomorrow and then finally a chilled out, recharge the batteries, PJ day!! Although I have compromised and invited Mr M along to share it Wink.

Glad all went ok with the darts Jesy and your friend has cleared the air slightly with the man. Hope you and Mr P have a lovely weekend.

dippin good luck with next week's guy, hope you manage to meet up Smile

Rasp have a great weekend and have a refreshing break from the dating scene!

waltzing good luck with both suitors

Newto thanks, sounds like a lucky escape from Mr T, good luck with Mr BD. A chequered past sounds errmmm interesting (?!) but if he has turned his life around, maybe it is worth giving him a chance? Or at least a second date!!

Super good luck with Mr Apples (and Mr Geeky) The one's we least expect to like are the ones that surprise us!!

And last but most certainly not least; Blossom I am so, so pleased that you and Mr Sailor seem to be on the same wavelength! It is a great feeling!!
Have a lovely date tomorrow, it sounds like a great date to me!! Have fun Smile

Happy dating all and have a great weekend Smile

jesy · 20/03/2015 08:52

Really

How you know idle with Mr post lol

Lurkingforanswers · 20/03/2015 09:28

Morning all Smile Really You are seeing a lot of Mr M. You both have busy lives but are making the time for each other because it's getting to the stage that you want to see so much of each other. I think it's greatSmile It's the same with you jesy you and M'r post seem to do something every weekend and inbetween, proper relationship territory.

I like seeing how everyone's coming along, gives an insight as to how it should be aswell. I have a proper date this weekend so will report back. we've been in contact all week since we met up but it's early days so will just try and and enjoy an evening out.

jesy · 20/03/2015 09:32

Lurking

I was planning on calling off last night as mother nature about lol he told .e not to be stupid it's more than sex .

Lurkingforanswers · 20/03/2015 09:50

Jesy That's another 'test' I think to show you what someone's like although post comes across as a good guy so I would have expected that answer anyway. You two are spending a lot of time with each other and meeting the family so it's a serious relationship Smile

I'm still at the beginning and wondering if I could actually kiss someone let alone sleep with them. It's scary but I'm sure you've all felt like this in the beginning and I suppose it would just come naturally(I hope)

Newtodating · 20/03/2015 10:01

really your weekend plans with Mr M sound great.
jesy agree with others on Mr Post'a response - a relationship is more than just sex
lurking after over a decade with one person I felt that same as you but found it easier than I thought!

reallyMe71 · 20/03/2015 11:04

jesy random guess?? ;)

Lurking it is nervewracking!! I didn't find it easy at all. First post marriage kiss I don't actually remember was a drunken one! Second was the one that 'counted' and was terrifying Smile but nice. Sleeping together, I went to pieces, lost my confidence but happily have regained it Grin. It isn't easy but make sure it is with someone that you trust or are happy just to 'get it over with' Grin

Relax and enjoy the evening out Smile

As for Mr M and I, we do have busy lives but luckily for us location (and job flexibility) helps; sometimes it is just a quick half hour coffee together. He has slotted into MY life for which I am very lucky. I still have days where I wonder what I am doing though Grin as I started the year adamant I didn't want a 'relationship'!!!

Newto thanks and have a lovely weekend.

Britney what did you decide to do about Mr Awol?

Blossomflowers · 20/03/2015 11:12

Morning all.....
Rasp have a fab weekend
Really your weekend sounds great
lurking good luck with your date, do we have a name yet?
Britney have you decided what you are going to do tomorrow re Mr AWOL?
Waves everyone else.
Well Mr Sailor has called this morning for a little chat, calling again later to make arrangements for tomorrow, I am actually looking forward to it now. DS off fishing with is dad at the weekend so no contraints. Must try to behave myself Grin

britneyspearscatsuit · 20/03/2015 11:37

No! Not decided!

Pretty sure he wasn't working last night so feeling very unsure about him.

jesy · 20/03/2015 11:39

Really
it was a good guess

Blossomflowers · 20/03/2015 11:39

britney did he ever say why he went off the radar?

britneyspearscatsuit · 20/03/2015 11:59

No. But I mentioned it and he didn't give an explanation. I think I will just decide today between cancelling and forgetting completely or going on the stupid date and asking him directly why he went AWL and has been so hot and cold.

There's a slim chance he's just waiting till we meet to decide, but it's not confidence inspiring.

Blossomflowers · 20/03/2015 13:12

britney he may be dating several people. I would be inclined to meet him because after all it all means nothing until you meet

britneyspearscatsuit · 20/03/2015 13:38

Blossom, I know he may be dating several people, and that would be fine...but the point that is annoying me is that he behaves like he is dating several people but yet states very plainly that he isn't, and doesn't want me to either so my back is right up for that reason.

Do you think gut feelings are right?

Blossomflowers · 20/03/2015 13:54

britney I think it is strange to ask someone not to date other people when you have not even met, I agree his behaviour sounds off. Don't ask me about gut feelings I always seem to get it wrong Grin
I am strangely excited about tomorrow but worried it all go wrong. All seem too good to be true

Blossomflowers · 20/03/2015 13:57

OMG, just had a message from an 18 yr old. That is 6 years younger than 1 of my sons
