I've met someone and I don't know how to finish this title.

[ProfessorPickles]

I apologise for the terrible thread title, but I didn't have a clue what to go with and could no longer ask your advice
I still like train edition but didn't want to use it incase it's terrible, which it probably is.

So here we are, part three of the 'I've met someone' saga.
The first thread was very positive and exciting, the second was mostly negative for all of us and here we are starting the third!

Let's make it a good one!

This....is it a deffo for Thursday

How old are you Sweeney, if you don't mind me asking?

I'm 52 prof...but would like to think I'm a,lot younger lol...but I do like a laff....a 50 yr old dressed up as a cheerleader plastered all over where I works walls tells u what I'm like lol

Amazing!! I would love to see that a good sense of humour is the most important thing for me in a friendship or relationship. Life should always be fun

Not a pretty site,prof believe me...pics floating about Lol...darent tell u about pyjamas party in pub....I don't wear them

Turned up in your birthday suit did you?!

Sort of...good Job I had my big knickers,on lol

Evening everyone, I'll have a vodka, lemonade and lime with lots of ice please Sweeney I've got my pjs on, I'll fit right in.

I would be a bit frustrated too Prof, if he hasn't got much experience of dating maybe he isn't sure what to do next and is hoping you will set a date?

Glad you are feeling positive again This and yes you really must go for it on Thursday.

Vodka lemon and lime muddle....isn't that classed as a,long vodka with angostura bitters

Hello you lot :) This thread reminds me of the olden days when as students me and my friends would sit around of an evening, angsting, analysing and plotting...sometime successfully.

I do hope so Muddle, I think I'll give it until the week after he's back and if nothing then I'll just have to forget about it.

If he wanted to see me, he would ask!
I'm not giving up all hope just yet based on how long he's liked me and how besotted he seemed once he'd told me etc.
But still, I don't feel like things are looking good either

Evening PussyCat! How're you?

Very well, thanks.

People have different communication styles - I imagine this depends partly on age? eg my DD prefers to text me, when I'd rather a phone call, my DS when he visits sits and ??does something on his phone - arranging things with his mates I think. Some friends text back immediately, others it can be ages. So what is the Standard Texting Etiquette these days, or isn't there one? And how is Graphics Man doing relative to the STE? this is sort of what you're pondering, Prof, isn't it?

What does STE mean sorry?

Standard Texting Etiquette :) (I just made it up of course)

Standard Texting Etiquette :) (I just made it up of course)

That should've been obvious and I ruined it

I'm fine with some people taking ages to reply etc, and he sends lovely messages. But then I think if he doesn't text me for ages then I mustn't have really crossed his mind?
And if he hasn't arranged a day to meet up then he mustn't want to?

I think I might be right which is naff!

So he's away atm? I think the mental deadlines you have set are sensible, you have to kind of enjoy the hope while being prepared to have to let go of it. What else can a poor girl do?

Spent last night with Lovely Man, he's off on his travels again tonight for a few days. The highlight of my coming week is having a new boiler fitted...

No he doesn't go away for another week, PussyCat!
Exactly, there's nothing more I can do. At a push I'll suggest another day I'm free once he's back but that's it.
This is so frustrating and disheartening after such a shock and the way he appears/appeared to feel about me. I suspect I'm going to be left feeling stupid again!

Thankfully I'll be able to walk away from this without too much trouble as the attachment isn't there like with tutor man. Deary me!

Lovely Man is the best name out of all the men I suppose a boiler isn't too thrilling is it? At least you can look forwards to his return! Is he going far?

Ireland - it's lovely, I've been there and hope to go over this autumn (he has kind of a little holiday place there).

Ooh how nice! I've always fancied going to Ireland I've heard many nice things

I know it isn't in the spirit of our happy thread, but I think I've just got to accept nothing is going to happen. Clearly it was just a long term wanting what you can't have situation and now I'm available he's too scared or no longer interested!

Prof...you reading too much into it...think positive and positive things will happen...we can't have negativity on a Monday morn lol...he's nervous and scared...and doesn't want to fuck it up lol

Sorry for lowering the tone everyone

He is barely in touch and isn't making any effort to meet up, you must admit it doesn't sound good!

Good morning lovely Prof! When was he in touch last?
