I'm staying in tonight but flirty texts from teacher making me smile. Have fun ladies on dates and ones who are home enjoy the night too x

tanyadm · 09/01/2016 20:04

I'm in! Was supposed to be out with antenatal class friends, but childcare fell through.

But my youngest was a nightmare today, so I'm exhausted anyway. Watching Breakfast at Tiffany's, bit of flirting with Bee, then an early night for me. :)

I posted a few times on the last thread and have been really enjoying reading everyone's news.

Twiggy, your date yesterday sounds wonderful. Hope your lunch date goes just as well.

314 and Gast, hope your dates tonight go well - look forward to reading your updates!

Tanya, I'm so excited about your date with Bee tomorrow!

Hello to everyone else.

Mr Film, who I've been messaging for about a month, has finally suggested meeting up, but we can't do it until the week after next. I also got a message today from Horizontal - three weeks after I last messaged him! He didn't even explain why it had taken so long to get back to me. At one point he was my front-runner, but I've lost interest a bit now. Should I message him back or just give up on this one, do you think?

MyGastIsFlabbered · 09/01/2016 20:19

Well I think I've been stood up, he was supposed to be picking me up at 8.

tanyadm · 09/01/2016 20:22

Mr Italy stood you up gast? Ill mannered foolAngry what a wanker. How dare he! At least he should have text to let you know.

MyGastIsFlabbered · 09/01/2016 20:35

Not heard a thing so he's blocked.

Now meeting Armchair who has admitted he's non-monogamous but all his partners know about each other. Seems very funny so we'll see.

PrizeyPrize · 09/01/2016 20:36

Good for you gast! You are brilliant! Grin

Goldfish21 · 09/01/2016 20:38

Oh no, Gast. That's really rude! He could at least have told you if he wasn't coming.

Thanks, Waving. I forgot to say that Horizontal suggested I could meet him tonight at an event he's going to with his friends, but I didn't think it was good enough to be given less than 24 hours notice (after silence for 3 weeks!) and just invited to something he was going to anyway, so haven't replied. I've never read WMLB but hope that's the right thing to do! What are you going to do with Soho tomorrow? Have you managed not to contact him tonight?

MyGastIsFlabbered · 09/01/2016 20:41

I knew there was something odd about him not giving me his number!

And if anyone wants a lonely hearts night out you're welcome to come to Brighton, got plenty of room here for sleepovers.

Meeting Armchair at 9

Goldfish21 · 09/01/2016 20:49

Wow, you don't hang around, Gast! What's Armchair like?

tanyadm · 09/01/2016 20:52

Gast, I am bloody impressed!

Chattycatty · 09/01/2016 21:05

choccyfiend78 · 09/01/2016 21:20

You go gast that's the way to do it!!

Matched with a new guy on tinder but he very politely said he was only looking for sex so I wished him well and unmatched Smile (may have considered it but he was almost 60 miles away Grin)

PrizeyPrize · 09/01/2016 21:23

Well I'm up for a night out in Brighton gast! You are only an hour from me Smile

Twiggy789 · 09/01/2016 21:24

prizey - that would be Curly's loss.

What time are you seeing Soho waving, and well done for staying strong tonight. It all messes with your head, doesn't it? Coffee messaged me earlier, clearly wanting a shag tonight. Felt good to not reply for ages and then to say no. And what's the Shred - should I be doing it too?!?

Love those flirty texts chatty, I can't remember, have you met him yet?

Goldfish tbh I think I'd move on. I sent a few messages a week or so ago and one didn't reply. He's just replied now saying about how sorry he is to have not messaged before but he's only just seen the them Hmm. Even if I wasn't hot for Mr Blond I don't think I'd reply - I was clearly on the reserve list. Nothing wrong with that, we've all got one but I don't think I'd be feeling it. Not going tonight was definitely right out of WMLB!

Alternatively Angry at Mr Italy and Grin at gast - well done you, can't wait to read an update.

PrizeyPrize · 09/01/2016 21:24

Did Gast actually mean 9 tonight? Oh my god that girl is on fire!! Grin

Twiggy789 · 09/01/2016 21:27

choccy 60 miles is much too far for sex, at least he was honest though!

Chattycatty · 09/01/2016 21:35

Yes we've had 3 dates seeing him next weekend. He does a sext very well haha.

Twiggy789 · 09/01/2016 21:40

Gotta love a bit of sexting!
