Oh my god.. I can't stop thinking about the man who smiled at me twice and said hello whilst on his mower!

Was walking my usual dog walk and he was mowing the large piece of grass at the park. We noticed each other a 100 yards away. The first thing I noticed was his big thick beard... I absolutely love beards.. it's really my thing! He drove towards me and we smiled at each other, and then again as he rode past. We said 'hiya'. He had the biggest smile.

And now I can't stop thinking about it... ARRRGGGHHH! 😂

Grin any news?

I'm envisaging her frolicking in the long grass in a floaty white dress to get his attention.

SecretKeeper1 · 03/07/2021 15:23

@nolovelost did you find him?!

MyGrassIsBrowner · 03/07/2021 15:42

So glad I found this thread again, have you seen him again OP? 😁

nolovelost · 03/07/2021 16:56

No :( and I'm thinking about it far too much than I should be!

I got talking to a lovely bearded man OLD this week. The conversation was brilliant and he seemed really keen but he's not replied to my message for 2 days, obviously found someone better! I'm talking to a few at the moment but that's disappointed me a lot!

OLD man has just messaged me saying he's got a new phone and it has taken a day to log bag in to everything. I'm pleased he's still keen as he's lush and holds an excellent convo. Maybe more like his excitement diverted to someone else and has had a failed date! Dated for years and know all the in's and out's of people's behaviour, but I'm also an over thinker!

Only time will tell what his intentions are, but it's good you're not putting all your eggs in one basket and are exploring a variety of eligible bearded men!

nolovelost · 03/07/2021 19:05

Yes Grin

I'm enjoying the chatting actually. I've been happily single for 6 years so it's not that I need a man, would just be nice!

MyGrassIsBrowner · 03/07/2021 20:14

@nolovelost Aww, good luck OP! Have fun with it. I met my now DH on plenty of fish been together 4 years now, one DD and no.2 on the way. There are definitely some good ones out there! 😊

nolovelost · 03/07/2021 20:19

Thank you! Aww lovely, that's amazing.

I'm now on 4 dating sites and it's definitely helped. The most recent one being Bumble (suggested intially by someone on here intially for friends). What I didn't realise is that you can switch from BFF to dating, so I started that and I've been chatting to someone all day about all the bands we both like. Got so much in common. He's 6 years younger than me!

nolovelost · 03/07/2021 20:22

Bumble is definitely the best one but then I've paid for it. It definitely pays off for quality/conversation etc.

OP posts:
MyGrassIsBrowner · 03/07/2021 20:26

@nolovelost I remember those early days chatting endlessly, it's lovely!
I never used Bumble myself as it was relatively new at the time but I found POF had the most men local to me. I signed up to Match and paid for that but the men that kept messaging were at least twice my age, not my thing lol!
Definitely keep your guard up but enjoy it. I remember the constant butterflies when I started chatting to someone! My DH still gives me butterflies even now 🤭

nolovelost · 03/07/2021 21:01

That's a beautiful, happy love story! Has he got any friends?!!

OP posts:
nolovelost · 03/07/2021 21:01

Single friends lol!

Are you julia from Morherland and he's the plumber? 😂

MyGrassIsBrowner · 03/07/2021 21:30

@nolovelost sadly they're all married 🙈

nolovelost · 03/07/2021 21:32

@gettingolderbutcooler what??

Okcupid is a great (free) dating site which offers better conversation to other sites!

nolovelost · 06/07/2021 14:56

@Guineapigginghell thank you. I might make that the 5th!

FFS he's/someone's been and done the same patch looks like today. I've missed him!

OP posts:
nolovelost · 06/07/2021 15:08

It was only done 12 days ago! And it's not a bit that kids go on!

Forgot to mention, saw a man on a mower end of last week that could have been him but it was morning rush hour and I was going around the biggest roundabout in town!
