Does he want me? He looks at me loads, I think he's interested.

EXCEPT

I'm hearing loads of worrying stuff I.e we all thought he was single rumour has it he isn't he's in a secret relationship with someone we know but because of their work situation they're keeping it very quiet. Could be a rumour though.

He has a reputation for being into swinging!! sending cock shots and having a wandering eye. Was on POF when with his last girlfriend but hasn't been seen on it since being with current one (might not actually be with her though!) is divorced but not sure of back story there.

I'm not stupid enough to listen to all these rumours and take them as gospel. He's in his 40s single and still alright looking, I'm single again and wondering if I should move it past him looking at me on to a bit more.

Do you think rumours have to start somewhere or is it just nonsense to be ignored.

goingtobeawesome beat me to it.
How old are you?

3sprogsandacator2 · 06/10/2015 20:12

Not desperate. I'm mid forties! Out of the dating game for a while with 2 marriages behind me! Really haven't dated much Confused

Don't shit on your own doorstep.

Go on pof. Find someone outside your workplace. Don't scrape the bottom of the barrel.

3sprogsandacator2 · 06/10/2015 20:13

I don't work with him!

Wow! Shock

AnyFucker · 06/10/2015 20:19

Really haven't dated much

No surprises there. Come on love, engage brain yeah ?

3sprogsandacator2 · 06/10/2015 20:23

Ok lol. He's not an option then?

OP posts:
SurlyCue · 06/10/2015 20:24

Lol. He shouldnt be, no. Lol.

SurlyCue · 06/10/2015 20:25

Could i suggest acquiring some standards?

Perhaps write yourself a list of qualities you think the person who is worthy of you should possess. Being definitely single should be top of the list. The word 'seedy' shouldn't be on it Wink

AnyFucker · 06/10/2015 20:26

Nope Grin

3sprogsandacator2 · 06/10/2015 20:30

He's really nice though! Honestly! Don't want to write someone off for possibly made up rumours.

OP posts:
AnyFucker · 06/10/2015 20:34

I heard that Ched Evans is "really nice"

Do you want to shag him ?

SurlyCue · 06/10/2015 20:35

Honey, he hasnt even said he is interested in you! Write him off there are literally billions of men in the world. Lots are DEFINITELY single. This man is not your only option. Seriously. Forget him, find other nice single men. If he is interested he will make himself available to you (an by that I mean single!)

SolidGoldBrass · 06/10/2015 20:35

A person can be nice and have an open relationship, enjoy swinging, etc. It's equally possible that this man is single and would like to date you, or that he is not single but has a wandering eye (though isn't going to do more than flirt mildly), or that he isn't actually interested in anything more than being part of your circle of friends, except that you are desperate and therefore read POSSIBLE NEW LOVER into any interaction with a moderately attractive man that doesn't involve him running away screaming.

Goingtobeawesome · 06/10/2015 20:37

I'm sorry you are feeling so down on yourself that this man seems to be the perfect boyfriend for you.

Frecklesandspecs · 06/10/2015 20:44

Certainly not my type Hmm

Cabrinha · 06/10/2015 20:44

But explain, HOW do you even have this information that he sends cock shots? HOW????

I've sent a suggestive photo or two in my time as it happens - and I'm lovely.

But I just can't work out how you've had this conversation with anyone Confused

3sprogsandacator2 · 06/10/2015 20:48

That's what i mean. People are spreading rumours about him that I've heard. Obviously something is amiss.

OP posts:
Cabrinha · 06/10/2015 21:02

"People" though? Who has told you, and how do they claim to know?
You don't even work with him, how has it come up that someone has said "oh, X sends cock shots" Confused?

3sprogsandacator2 · 06/10/2015 21:04

I can't go into too much detail. He's well known in our small area due to his work, people know him, people know her.

OP posts:
3sprogsandacator2 · 06/10/2015 21:05

They're repeating gossip. None of them know him outside of his job.

OP posts:
molyholy · 06/10/2015 21:08

Read the thread back to yourself op. You sound like you are in 6th form. Forget him and move on to someone without all this backstory. I look at everyone I talk to. Its pretty rude not to.

AnyFucker · 06/10/2015 21:08

I think maybe only Jeremy Kyle could call this one.

squishee · 06/10/2015 21:20

Why am I thinking I've heard this before... From Vicky Pollard?

Surely you deserve better than someone whose reputation precedes him?

Cabrinha · 06/10/2015 23:35

Yep to JK.
