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

Lurking- I have just had a phone conversation with Mr Sunday night and it went well. Although I wasn't keen on the comment earlier I think I am going to go on the date but at least I can go with my eyes open.

Will report back Grin

Lurkingforanswers · 28/03/2015 21:42

Scrambled Good luck with the date then, look forward to update.
I just think I'd not want to sleep with him for a long time as I'd be thinking that was all he was after, so he's probably done himself a disservice there Grin

Reallyme71 · 28/03/2015 21:44

Sorry about your date lurking

Scrambled good luck and look forward to the update!

Mademan you are trying the RL route? Do you think you will go back to OL?

MadeMan · 28/03/2015 21:46

I doubt very much I'll go back to online dating; I certainly won't be any time soon.

ScrambledEggAndToast · 28/03/2015 21:59

Lurking- Yes, he has definitely put himself back wrt getting any. I was thinking Tuesday but now it will be at least Thursday Wink (JOKE!!)

Whatsforsupper · 28/03/2015 22:10

Don't

Welcome back. I was wondering what happened to you. Sorry to hear you're having such a difficult time.

Jessy

Told you it would be fine:) And. Relax.

Me. Still talking some with MS Busy.

ScrambledEggAndToast · 29/03/2015 07:31

Forgot to say, the guy from Match has messaged me a few times. Could be a slow burner this one but he seems pretty nice. He's 34, a police officer (do love a man in uniform) and has two sons. No sign of a date just yet but to be honest I don't do multiples anyway. I'm off on holiday next Saturday with DS and mum so all dates are off Hmm DS and I are staying for a week and my mum aka only source of childcare is staying for another 6 days. I could probably manage coffee dates for an hour, luckily there are loads near where I live, as DS is happy on his xbox. Apart from that, I will be in the dating wilderness for about 2 weeks Grin

Newtodating · 29/03/2015 08:47

Went for second drink with guy from last week and decided that no spark or potential for a spark there. Had a hilariously embarrassing moment when he misheard something i said.anyway sent the text after basically saying thanks but no thanks and feel like a weights been lifted.so back to square one for me.no potential dates,stopped OLD for now.maybe someone will magically appear in RL.

Newtodating · 29/03/2015 08:48

And Welcome back dont - read your other thread.just chalk it up to experience and put yourself back out there x

jesy · 29/03/2015 09:19

Lurking your right he is nice.

Don't

Hope your ok today, but your back with your mad very big family.

The camping thing he means like with a tent omg I'm going to have to see if they still make gas straightener.
But looking forward to it but do I have to pee in the woods lol.

Had a nice night , made corn dogs , pop corn and cheesy nacho and watched Disney films in bed with the dog nearly chocked when he said if we have kids going to need a king size bed lol

Have a good day all.

ScrambledEggAndToast · 29/03/2015 09:31

That's a shame New but at least you had the courtesy to tell him. Fingers crossed for the future Grin

dontcallnotdating · 29/03/2015 09:41

Thanks for the welcome back, feeling a bit better. Though felt a bit of a nutjob after reading the thread I posted.

WaltzingWithHeiferlumps · 29/03/2015 10:23

Interesting evening last night.
Went out with a friend for dinner to a pub, and fellow was there who I mentioned in my last update, the one who I've been chatting to on match & FB for about 3 weeks. Met by chance (in same pub) last weekend. He doesn't want children or someone who has children so I hadn't regarded him as a romantic candidate really. Get on very well though, and because I hadn't regarded him as a romantic candidate just a friend, I've maybe been less guarded. Not sure what to call him, maybe Mr K. Anyway, gave him a lift home after pub lock-in (drinking and smoking until 2am Shock had to be up for work at 6, felt like old old days smoking at the bar, Grin ), and he tried to snog me just before he got out of the car. I was taken by surprise, and didn't snog him back, just a brief kiss. Bit confused now, we normally FB every day, so I'll see how communication pans out over the next few days. And I'll be very guarded, maybe he's looking for a FWB scenario, but I don't really want that, I'd rather he just be a friend, if it came to the crunch. So we'll see. Bit nervous as I don't want to get scorched again after Mr Curveball.

jesy · 29/03/2015 11:11

Waltzing

Just take it steady and see, I know what you mean about getting burnt.
See how communications go ,he could be feeling the same way .

Blossomflowers · 29/03/2015 12:03

Morning all, again thanks for the kind words re my kitty. Off out for lunch later with X, we tend to do this most Sundays.
Am chatting to lots atm, but if honest they is not one I am thinking wow
jesy I love camping and I am very girly, think long nails and makeup. Sometimes really nice to get back tp nature and costs little.
lurking sorry date did not go well, he sounds creepy.
dont welcome back, I did see your other thred. You sound quite vunerable if you don't mind me saying, dating is very tough, you will experience lots of knock backs, I have developed a thick skin and still manage to get hurt. Think Mr S( best renamed Mr Bullshit) lol

WaltzingWithHeiferlumps · 29/03/2015 12:05

He's just put 'Naughty beer monster!!!Sad', so that's either an explanation for why he tried to snog me, or just saying he's hungover. Or both. Confused. Bloomin men.

ScrambledEggAndToast · 29/03/2015 13:00

Turn up for the books Waltzing Grin Although the "naughty beer monster" would probably put me off a bit. How old is he?!!

Blossomflowers · 29/03/2015 13:01

waltzing I would not panic too much, just let him know now you are not interested. We all do daft things when a bit pissed, just put ti down to that.
Dont don't feel bad about the thread, who cares. Just look after yourself and grow that thick hide I talked about.

jesy · 29/03/2015 13:19

Bit more reasured now been to the tent shop .
Think he amazed I don't have water proofs lol

I've been camping we did it for years , we'd some how connect the tv to the car battery.

ScrambledEggAndToast · 29/03/2015 16:32

Eek, date in 2.5 hours Shock Have been trying to decide what to do with my hair, really want to put it up but so rubbish at things like that! I had my hair coloured yesterday and am a bit disappointed as I think it's too dark for me. Ended up spending £60 on new foundation and blusher to try and counteract it!

Will return later with a field report!

Lurkingforanswers · 29/03/2015 16:55

Blossom Thanks. and yes he was very odd when I think of everything he said, manner etc. Glad you're having a nice weekend even if it's with the exGrin

Scrambled Good luck!! Your hair is probably fine, it just takes time to get used to.

I'M back in the saddle and chatting again with someone, i'll let you all know if turns to a meet.

addicted2cake · 29/03/2015 18:44

Please can I ask you dating experts for some advice?
I seem to have 2 guys who really like me, 2 dates with one and only date with the second. Problem is that I like the second guy better but don't know what to say to the first guy. He is nice and funny but just not for me, how do I let him know without being harsh? I hate to mess people about and feel that's what I'm doing texting them both!

ScrambledEggAndToast · 29/03/2015 19:00

Live update ladies, just waiting for my date to arrive. He's parking. Wish me luck Grin

jesy · 29/03/2015 19:12
