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

Hello all. Can I joint he thread please?

First time dating in my life really (only ever had two LTRs before that were consecutive) and finding it quite difficult and stressful.

Dated 4 so far. 3 liked me a lot and I didn't feel the same back. The one I did like didn't like me as much back.

I have one date planned for Tuesday and am not really feeling it although he's very keen and have just (I think) been completely blown off my one I really liked.

Finding the world of OD quite soul crushing in that it takes so long to find one you like and then they don't like you back. Or worse in my case, they are dead keen in invest a couple of months only to vanish.

Britney Welcome, oh try not to get down hearted,OLD is bloody tough, just come on here and moan like the rest of us.

Really I am not that bother honest, saved me a drive anyway lol

Just had a text from Mr Sailor saying I sound delicious and that has not creeped me out Grin

britneyspearscatsuit · 13/03/2015 18:30

Whatsforsupper · 13/03/2015 18:46

Britney

britneyspearscatsuit · 13/03/2015 18:54

Docmartensanddungarees · 13/03/2015 18:59

Hi Britney and welcome. It does happen a lot...

Super go on!!!!!

DontKillMyVibe · 13/03/2015 19:00

Hi Britney - loving the username! No answers for you but definitely stay here to have a moan!

Blossom I always think it's a good idea to meet as soon as possible so it sounds promising re Mr Sailor. And if he does turn out to be a weirdo/ knob you'll find out at the start of next week rather than having to wait weeks

britneyspearscatsuit · 13/03/2015 19:03

Also, if I get specific on my dating problem maybe you can advise.

Me and Mr AWOL, shall we call him, have been messaging for six weeks. It took two for me to agree to a date. He's quite shy and not my usual type.

After I agreed we set a date and he was very excited but I got sent away with work unexpectedly for a few weeks and while I have been gone we have been messaging a lot. Every day lots of times, few phonecalls, even a bit of Facetime. All very keen indeed!

I am back and we have a date set up for next week but yet he's very suddenly gone absolutely silent for 6 days.

what's that about?

He's met someone else?

Hi britney good luck with old, it is a rollercoaster!

blossom good luck with my sailor, sounds positive :).

super yes, step things up with MOTS Grin. Btw, I can't remember what MOTS stands for??

dont love the time saving straight to bed with mr D Grin, despite no bread stories Hmm .

I'm still texting mr y but big doubts. I was meant to see mr t (had 10 dates with him but I finished it as he was a bit of an idiot, still being online etc), just as friends but have switched to tomorrow. I'll believe it when he turns up though, absolutely last friendship chance tomorrow! Watching catfish on viva - it's a good one!

RaspberryBeret34 · 13/03/2015 22:28

britney maybe if he's shy the momentum of texting etc has got a bit much and he's nervous to meet? Or he could've met someone else :/. Maybe text one last time and ask if you're still on for next week?

Newtodating · 13/03/2015 22:34

God I'm so fricking bored tonight I've rejoined tinder,fb requested Mr E and text Mr N-somebody stop me!!!

britneyspearscatsuit · 13/03/2015 22:50

Oh he says we are still on. He's been pretty clear on it. He's just gone completely silent on me. It's very odd behavior.

I am hoping it is just that he is shy or something innocent but just hate when people change their behavior and don't explain why.

On my other thread I've been told to ignore him if he gets back in touch. Might be an idea as this isn't a good sign for what sort of dating partner he'd make.

I am also bored tonight, but I'm out tomorrow at a wedding thank God. maybe a good place to meet someone not through OLD.

All I really want is a cuddle and kiss off someone I like and fancy!

RaspberryBeret34 · 13/03/2015 23:01

Haha newto, step away from mr e and mr n. Just tinder!!

Whatsforsupper · 13/03/2015 23:43

Britney

He's talking too or dating someone else. If that doesn't work out you may or may not hear back. Entirely up to you what to do next.

Sadly. Its not odd for online dating its the Norm. Some Men cannot be honest with women, its that simple.

Rasb

I thought you'd got rid of Mr T?

MOTS = Man Up The Stairs? That's my take on it:)

MOTS = Man on the stairs Raspberry Hope all goes well with Mr T and you do get what you want out of it. Have a lovely weekend Smile

Hello Britney , fingers crossed at the wedding tomorrow. Sorry the other one seems to have gone quiet on you. It is a poor social etiquette usually relating to a particular gender (and in a particular situation) as Rioux put it so eloquently earlier Wink

Newto Put down the phone and back away slowly do not send anymore text or fb messsages Grin
Hope you find someone nice to chat to on Tinder

Whatsforsupper · 14/03/2015 00:04

Go..Rioux

Best offer I had was with .....my cat:)

Reallyme71 · 14/03/2015 00:07

Oh dear whatsfor but at least a cat is reliable Grin

Weren't you out with Shutter tonight Rioux? Wink

britneyspearscatsuit · 14/03/2015 00:18

whatsforsupper Well...I don't think I want to go out with someone who can't just be honest and explain what's going on.

Rioux I'm very jealous.

thanks Reallyme

Well, I have a date on Teusday with someone off POF and he just sent me a message to say he'd had another date tonight and wished it was with me. He's been very keen. I blew him off a few months ago becaue his divorce isn't final and I didn't want to get involved in any drama, and he sent me a message a few days ago to say he'd not been able to forget me and that he wished he could talk to me bout the status of his divorce to settle my mind. So I did, and he asked me out again and I said yes.

So Mr AWOL might find two can play at that game.

jesy · 14/03/2015 09:13

I didn't get to go to fair maybe tonight xxx

Well not sure what talked myself into but Mr post suggested we invite parents to meet all together , as its mothers day at weekend..
As we are going to see a band in town in the evening I suggested an afternoon tea!!
Both mums seem thrilled

So this am panic started , not sure what to make lol

So opinion please ,

Nice sandwiches , thought cheese with pickle
Ham with grainy mustard
Egg mayo with crests
Coronation chicken

All done as finger sandwiches

Savoury scones, home made sausage and egg roll
I have some home made picilli I made

Plus scones or cup cakes lol

What you think , I can't afford a proper gift for mum so thought she'd appreciate this

jesy · 14/03/2015 09:16

Butty on nice posh bread by the way

DontKillMyVibe · 14/03/2015 10:17

Sounds lovely Jesy - very thoughtful of you and I'm sure the mums will love it. All the parents meeting eh - Mr Post definitely luuuurrrves you Grin Are you nervous?

Anyone got any interesting date ideas for tonight? Mr D coming over a 7pm - I don't really fancy yet another restaurant and drinks. Am not keen on the cinema. Help inspire me please! Smile

Raspberry I reckon you'll make your mind up one way or the other about Mr Y after Mr T has visited this evening. Have you shaved your legs for tonight? Wink

Have a good weekend folks
