@Leicat That's kind of abusive as he will know not all women are into that and it has to be discussed beforehand. But he did it anyway, knowing that he'dve done it before you could say anything to stop him, as you didn't know it was coming. Sad

me4real · 18/10/2021 15:25

He might be back, be playing games with you by not replying yet. I suggest blocking him- it's a major red flag that he did that whether you liked it or not.

Isitreallyme177 · 18/10/2021 15:37

@BelladiMamma thanks. Its hard and i know what I lost which is such a shame.

Right now I'm going to utilise Mr Cricket's friends and family discount though. I'm looking at skiing holidays for the new year. I'd laugh if he ended up being the pilot for the flights🤣.

Naimee87 · 18/10/2021 15:59

@Isitreallyme177 that would be so cool! In order to have magnet-man deliver goods to me i'd have to order a shit ton of 'isulation material'... which given my current needs for such goods is unlikely to happen! Grin

VanGoghsDog · 18/10/2021 16:27

I suppose to get MrWG here I could set my house on fire.

I might tell him I'm thinking of doing that!

Isitreallyme177 · 18/10/2021 16:43

@Naimee87 do any of your neighbours need insulation?🤣😉 Apparently he has to book it for me so he'd know I was on that flight. I could just imagine it, "Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen your captain today is Mr Cricket"(or however it goes). I'd be sat there with a big cheesy grin on my face. He'd probably groan if he found out he was doing my flight.

@Slothmomma yaaaay!! How lovely!! So glad to read your update! Congrats on meeting a good one at last 🥰🥰 you deserve it!!

@SpringlikeBunk I’ve said it before and I am very sure ill say it again!! Your posts have me chortling away on the train 😂
“Then on one night I'll have a German sailor, a German professor, an army captain, a doctor, and various other randomers turn up.

It will be like an Agatha Christie novel in a stately home”

Too funny 🤣🤣

Shayelle2009 · 18/10/2021 16:47

I dont have anyone that I’d want to deliver anything to me! Sniffle 🥲
Again though I am quite enjoying being drama and upset-free from men!

Shayelle2009 · 18/10/2021 16:50

‘Wurst-fest’… bwahahaaaa 🤣🤣 love it

SpringlikeBunk · 18/10/2021 16:51

Haha at getting to our lovely irons at their work.

I live in fear that one day some dishy doctor I’ve met on a Friday night will see me professionally on Tuesday as I’m getting support with athletes foot or a UTI or cystitis.

Isitreallyme177 · 18/10/2021 16:55

I'm dreaming of crisp, fluffy, white snow. Perfect sunny days on the piste, bit of apres ski. A hot Austrian ski instructor maybe. Then I look outside and it's grey, damp, depressing and no hot ski instructor to be seen (or hot pilot for that matter). Back to reality with a bump. 🤷‍♀️🤨

Shayelle2009 · 18/10/2021 16:57

Christmas is coming though! Lots of time for Christmas cheer 🥰🥰

BelladiMamma · 18/10/2021 17:28

Noooo

Don't mention that word ...

'Christmas'

Aaaargh

We've got hallowe'en, bonfire night and my birthday to get through first!!

Hi all, can I join in?

I'm early forties and have been single two years since my ex husband upped and left me and our young DC.

Starting to feel quite lonely now and eager for some adult company. I've joined Hinge, not sure if you'd recommend any other apps? I'm bisexual and tbh keener on meeting a woman atm as I'm a bit over men!

I've been talking to the cutest woman (I'll call her Miss Crafty) She says she wants to meet but nothing arranged yet. I suggested last week but she couldn't make it. Shall I ask again or wait for her to take the initiative? She seems so lovely. I'm desperate to meet her.

Also have another guy (let's call him Mr Surfer) who's asked to meet for a walk on the beach. Tbh I'm slightly Hmm at just been invited for a walk. I said only If it's in the direction of a cafe for hot chocolate and cakeGrin

PatsyClinSilVousPlait · 18/10/2021 19:22

Another one back in the game here.

Have an old PoF account I'm about to reactivate, but its been a while so I'm guessing things have moved on.

Will give it a rattle anyway.

Shayelle2009 · 18/10/2021 19:36

Cheers @Shayelle2009

I promise to share both triumph and disaster, as I treat those two imposters just the same.

Hi @PatsyClinSilVousPlait and @CrumpetStrumpet welcome!

I'd say the apps can change quite a lot depending on where in the country you are ... I've tried a few of them although I haven't tried tinder because I am also bisexual and don't really want to be inundated with blokes who might get a kick out of that. So I stick to the slightly smaller platforms. The only high volume one I've used is POF

Good luck out there to you both!

@BelladiMamma that's 3 days after mine and 6 days before Mr Cricket's. My birthday right now looks like its going to be quiet, all my friends are being shit and Mr Cricket is being quiet.

JustAnother0ldMan · 18/10/2021 20:46

My B’day on 29th,
Looking to be a miserable one 😢

BelladiMamma · 18/10/2021 20:52

@Isitreallyme177
Mine's on a Monday this year which is never very exciting.

@JustAnother0ldMan can you treat yourself? Visit somewhere you really fancy going but haven't got round to yet?

OP posts:
JustAnother0ldMan · 18/10/2021 20:57

@BelladiMamma, I’m going to Wales for a friends wedding reception, going to drown my dating woes at some else’s expense, (bonus)
Never know might get lucky, but it’s always raining in Wales, might ride over there

Isitreallyme177 · 18/10/2021 20:59

@JustAnother0ldMan same day as me.

@BelladiMamma mine is a Friday. You'd think I'd have no problems doing something. I even postponed 2 friends and suggested brunch on the Sunday as my friend wanted to do something, has she even bothered, nope. I'm feeling pretty rubbish about it all.
