Teacher has been quiet today I know he's with his daughter but my imagination goes into overdrive and needy me starts thinking all sorts. Had a text saying he'll phone me tonight why can't I just remember he's busy and not losing interest.

I haven't posted in a little while as I haven't been able to date for a few weeks, but I've dipped my toe back in this week and I started messaging mr clean. We've been messaging since Tuesday and already he's started calling me darling?! We've not met, or even arranged to meet yet! So I'm not sure how I feel about this, he's already texted me twice today and I've not answered yet just because I'm really not sure what to think Hmm
I also joined Okcupid last night, so I shall see how that is in my area? Obviously no dates lined up for me yet, but some very 'interesting' messages in my inbox Smile

The activity on this thread is brilliant though!

handy Absolutely sit on your hands! Do not text! Repeat, do not text! Smile oh, and fantastic news about the date, go you!

314 I've been in a similar situation, and it took me a lot longer, and a lot more heartache, so well done you for cutting loose.

tanya Good luck!!!

Waves What a pain! When do you next get to see him?

chatty Easier said than done I know, but try to relax, like you said, he's busy. Look forward to his call tonight.

TooSassy · 10/01/2016 19:16

tanya talk to us!!!!

HandyWoman · 10/01/2016 19:18

Hello Tea welcome Smile hmm I'd be put off by being called 'darling' during the initial texting. Doesn't seem quite right to me. But it's how you feel that's what counts.

I wonder if Twiggy is still on her lunch date, tee hee....

Waving how annoying to be thwarted by a plumbing situation!

314 well done with Bear. Good on you. Let the H situation unfold if you can.

Bit more pottering to do and book the babysitter before settling in for tanya bus update - I so hope he lives up to his gorgeous messaging self - fingers crossed...

HandyWoman · 10/01/2016 19:20

Think tanya is only 30mins into her date, Sassy She's coming back on 22:45h bus home latest knows a bit too much about tanyadm's movements

TooSassy · 10/01/2016 19:20

Oops. Misunderstood. Here goes is for the date. I thought you were getting ready to tell us what had happened. My bad

waving that is annoying re soho. Has he left it open re catching up again?

handy don't message IMO.

tanyadm · 10/01/2016 20:07

Omg. Already best date ever. He's amazing. Feels like I have known him for ages. Consider this your loo update:

MyGastIsFlabbered · 10/01/2016 20:13

I really want to message MrCS if only to ask him what the fuck happened. Bad idea right?

TooSassy · 10/01/2016 20:13

Whoop whoop!!!!! Grin

PrizeyPrize · 10/01/2016 20:23

Get in tanya!! That is bloody brilliant! Grin

Whoop whoop, fantastic news tanya !! Grin

MississippiMud314 · 10/01/2016 21:22

"toosassy* 6'5" omg. What height are you?

Twiggy789 · 10/01/2016 21:25

Mr Tiles sounds hopeful handy, and definitely sit in your hands re contacting Mr City.

So, Mr Blond is definitely a possibility. Can't put my finger on why - he's not the most gorgrous or fit man, got fair share of baggage, has a slightly dodgy accent BUT there is something there that I've not felt for ages. He really seems to get me. Same humour, same quirky habits and there's an unusual phrase that I say often and he said it this afternoon in bed.

On the DTD side I think he might be a little more, conservative, shall we say, so I think he'll need some encouragement. Get the impression he wants to show he can treat me like a lady I'm quite happy being down and dirty although he did manage to lift me onto the kitchen work surface at one stage and that was pretty hot Blush.

He wants a relationship, actually used that word!

In other news WMLB is so true - now I'm not contacting Coffee at all he's texting me all the time asking when he can see me.

Wonder how tanya is getting on .

Twiggy789 · 10/01/2016 21:27

Obviously took me far too long to write that post, just updated and WOOHOO tanya, so happy for you!

PrizeyPrize · 10/01/2016 21:31

Twiggy still laughing at lifted me up on kitchen worktop Grin sounds like you are having a great time! Go you! Oh and hands up here from another EA marriage of 10 years, so I also know how you deserve to be having a great time right now!

TooSassy · 10/01/2016 22:18

gast don't message. I highly recommend getting the app Drunkdialno. You can put the contact in the app for up to 48 hours. And it doesn't let you ring/ text them!

waving well roll on Tuesday. Must be frustrating but at least you know when you're next seeing him.

314 Im 5"9' but I love my heels and in them I hit 6ft/ 6ft 1. So 6"5' is HEAVEN! Lunch is confirmed and given he works round the corner from me it's perfect as it doesn't eat into vital evening time which I struggle with.

twiggy how exciting!!! How do you feel about that? Do you want a relationship with him?

Cannot wait to hear more from tanya

Twiggy789 · 10/01/2016 22:46

I think I do actually.

He works away from home for nine days then back for five, which sounds perfect. Time for me and DDs, then time with him. Not rushing anything though, heeding the warning waving gave me about Solo starting all keen and enthusiastic then being hard work.

Cannot wait for the update from tanya Smile

HandyWoman · 10/01/2016 22:49

Sassy re drunkdialno I CANNOT believe there's an app for that!!!

Eek so looking forward to hearing another update from tanyadm

MyGastIsFlabbered · 10/01/2016 22:56

I so need that app! I also need sleep but I am tentatively waiting for Tanya
