Okay he's said ' okay that's fair enough'. x

I feel terrible now 😞

Shayelle2009 · 06/03/2021 10:22

Me too @bangheadhere40 but look at it this way - his behaviour caused this reaction in you. If he had been a balanced man, youd be meeting up. So - lets not blame ourselves.. and just enjoy our days, hassle free 😊

bangheadhere40 · 06/03/2021 10:34

Yes Shayelle phew...I do feel relieved now actually 😊

Back to swiping now and complaining no one replies 🤣🤣

Shayelle2009 · 06/03/2021 10:34

My Dad said; ‘probably the right thing to do. If he's like that now could be a real needy pest once you had met. Xxxx’

Haha. I love my Dad 😬

Its good isnt it @bangheadhere40?? And in reality , anyone should be allowed to walk away from a situation if it feels bad, not making you happy, without being made to feel guilty or like you owe them. We never even met these fools! Id block him now in case he comes back you dont want to have to deal with that shit! As likely he will. X

bangheadhere40 · 06/03/2021 10:42

I like your Dad 😄

Yes definitely...if we had met he would have ramped it up even more I'm guessing. Best thing for us to do if not getting 'good vibes'. You are right we don't owe them anything!

Shayelle2009 · 06/03/2021 11:04

Ahh he’s amazing im lucky to have him 💗

So glad you feel better too ☺️☺️

Hi 👋, can't believe @Shayelle2009, that it didn't work with Physical, aww I'm gutted for you, but you seem ok with it! @Bangheadhere40 kinda thought you were gonna blow spreaders out, you weren't feeling it all were you.
Hi @Angelofdeath, I hope you're feeling a little better Flowers
I'm still talking to Homeless, he's a really nice guy, but he's just a bit too nice, there isn't really any banter going in and I need banter, he's just "nice".....aaggh! I want some piss taking and giggles! Maybe he's just trying too hard.....I went back on the apps this morning and they are still as dire and full of potatoes! Homeless is telling his family today about me 😂 oh geez!

bangheadhere40 · 07/03/2021 13:35

Hi 👋 pineapple 🍍

Yeah I feel relieved actually not dreading my phone going off 1000 times a day, spreaders was just too nice as well, no jokes or anything. Had a look on the apps but all extremely dire.

Have you got any plans to meet homeless yet?

pineappleonpizzaornot · 07/03/2021 13:42

Hi @bangheadhere40, I think I'm gonna suggest a meet next weekend, can only go one way or the other can't it! He doesn't message me every 5 mins, but it is turning into a phonecall everyday, feel like I'm running out of things to talk about 🤦‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

Isitreally7777 · 07/03/2021 13:54

Well I'm seeing Computer Geek this afternoon. I'm currently sat watching Home and Away trying to settle my nerves. I'm scared shitless, I'm shaking with nerves, he has just confirmed the time and has told me he will message when he leaves. I literally have no clue how these things work. 😬

He messaged whilst I was out for a run this morning to say he was still up for it if I was, as I canceled at 3am as I was having a bad night and honestly thought he had got cold feet as he hadn't mentioned it.

bangheadhere40 · 07/03/2021 14:08

@Isitreally7777 oh my good luck! Please report back how it goes.

Isitreally7777 · 07/03/2021 14:44

@bangheadhere40 thank you. He has just said he is leaving in 5 minutes and will text when he is 10 minutes away. It seems he is terrible with times as its gone from 2pm to 3.30pm.

Shayelle2009 · 07/03/2021 15:52

Hi ladies 😁
Omg @Isitreally7777!! Youre going meet!!! Oh PLEASE let it happen this time.... i so hope he doesnt let you down again 😣 i hope you dont fancy him at all, i mean that in a nice way.

@pineappleonpizzaornot heey 😊 did your son have a lovely birthday? Thats a shame your homeless balloon is starting to lose a little air.. yes physical complerely ruined it i ended up feeling like i was a sheep and he was a sheepbdog trying to herd me into a pen which irritated the hell out of me and i had to break free and run off over the hills, never to he seen again!
@bangheadhere40 hope you still feel good after cutting lose Spreaders, did you block him in the end?
Ive gone back on bumble but very half heartedly. I just feel like i always need to be active on something, not even for any reason in particular, but just to feel that i am still ‘out there’ in some small way 🤔😬

OP posts:
bangheadhere40 · 07/03/2021 15:59

He blocked me Shayelle I'd noticed after, so that's fine - at least he accepted it. He was a nice guy ( which is rare) but if you aren't feeling it then it can't be helped.

LuckyLinda3 · 07/03/2021 17:13

Happy Sunday everyone. Hope you are all good. I'm so fed up. Back on one app just and although I'm getting plenty of messages every conversation has rapidly gone into the sexting domain. I have no issues with that but can we at least meet first please? Then it skews my opinions of exes because I give them undue credit just because they didnt go there. How do you feel about the sexy talk straight off?...block , block, blockety block.... .ha ha. Better to laugh about it I suppose!

pineappleonpizzaornot · 07/03/2021 17:14

Oh my @Isitreally7777- he best not piss you about this time 👊👊 report back plleeeaaassseee!!!!
I just don't know what to do re homeless, he isn't pestering me at all like physical and spreaders....think I'm trying to talk myself out of it....just don't think I fancy him....but then looks aren't everything 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦‍♀️

pineappleonpizzaornot · 07/03/2021 17:17

Linda-I BLOCK straight away, that's just me, but it's not my thing at all, just makes me feel sick, and not turned on in any way whatsoever! And, if they are doing it to me straight away, chances are they are doing it to 10 other women and edging their bets on who replies

pineappleonpizzaornot · 07/03/2021 17:22

Sorry @Shayelle2009, it was a fan birthday thank you .....only just starting to feel human again 🤣 not drinking for a while now!

pineappleonpizzaornot · 07/03/2021 17:28

Fab*

bangheadhere40 · 07/03/2021 17:28

Block anything sexual Linda i had one thos morning and I just blocked. It's sooo low level and awful.

Oh no pineapple, I knew I wouldn't fancy spreaders too ☹ it might be worth a meet though.

bangheadhere40 · 07/03/2021 17:29

I'm quite shallow though and need to find them attractive 😅😅

Isitreally7777 · 07/03/2021 17:36

So I met him, we chatted, we kissed, he is really nice, not sure he is ready for a relationship yet, he apologised for dicking me around. He has just messaged me, said it was really nice to chat to me. Think we are going to stay in touch and hopefully see each other again.

Shayelle2009 · 07/03/2021 18:04

@LuckyLinda3 yep block immediately no words required!

Eeeeeek @Isitreally7777 im so glad it finally happened...

@pineappleonpizzaornot glad you had a lovely time and feeling suitably jaded today 😁😁

Ive completed bumble already. Can confirm there are only mingers within a 24 mile radius of me! 🤣🤣

OP posts:
Isitreally7777 · 07/03/2021 18:16

@Shayelle2009 I didn't think it would especially as he was late leaving. I thought it might be another one if those times he bottled it. So when he said he wants 10 minutes away I was shocked.
