Well. If any of you have any doubts that it’s at possible to meet someone on real life - just met a nice man in a local coffee shop. Was with my dog, in gym gear, no make up. He’d been running. One smiley enquiry about the dog - 25 mins later we are going out to dinner next Saturday…😂🤦‍♀️

honeyandspice54 · 25/03/2023 13:54

@Slothmomma I’ve entertained 5 car snogs in my 4.5 years of trying to date and each time I come away thinking ‘.. how old are you again Miss HoneyandSpice…?’ 😂😂

Slothmomma · 25/03/2023 14:06

@honeyandspice54 but we wanted a proper goodbye 😉😆 and check you out meeting an actual iron in the wild 👏

TeaandLemonDrizzle · 25/03/2023 14:27

Currently in London (form the north) and my goodness there is definitely a higher percentage of good looking men down here. I’ve had loads of likes too so I may stay down here 😂.

I love a good snog. Missed out big time with stbx as he couldn’t kiss to save his life! I’ve kissed others since and my goodness mmmmmm.

Good woman 👌❤️❤️❤️

Definitelycross · 25/03/2023 17:36

Last great snog I had was with a guy I think is married. Didn't know at the time. He was soooooo good

Garysmum · 25/03/2023 18:23

Well I’m still dating. I’ve had a a number of dates with a number of men - 4 or 5 with some of them.
I am trying to carry on. But my heart’s not really in it because there’s one I like. I really like. And I now I feel lost at sea. This was meant to be all grown up - just sensible dating and companionship. How am I supposed to play it cool now? I actually want to hide!

Thisisworsethananticpated · 25/03/2023 18:32

Im having a wee pause

my boundary imposing means silence !

balkan re surfaced and invited me over
NO
not after how much he hurt me

I imposed waiting for sex boundary (maybe too harshly ) with solvent iron
and he’s gone silent too as he’s probably trying to get it from someone else

but I feel good ! Apart from a shitty stressful week and sinus infection

Thisisworsethananticpated · 25/03/2023 18:33

Garysmum

who’s the one you really like ?
id say let the other ones go

and then If it doesn’t work with the one you like start afresh

This is really good…go for the one you really like…ditch the rest. The fact that you really like one is wonderful

Oh my GOD Worsy…Balkan is back… what exactly does he want…just a booty call? Sex? Or reconnect with you? 😳… what the heck happened ?

Garysmum · 25/03/2023 19:39

@PinkIdentity i think you’re right. But I have no idea how much he likes me. We get on really well, fancy each other. He has introduced me to his friends. (They invited me to something too.)

Thisisworsethananticpated · 25/03/2023 19:45

PinkIdentity

ghosters always return hey

I don’t know I’m being fairly terse but civil

I’m assuming he wants a chat and a fuck tbh

He just texted yesterday
on the one hand im pleased as he told me something fairly important and I’m touched he
let me know
but he really hurt me and I don’t want to go back to that anxiety

In the same boat, only one woman was really interesting but she has disappeared now

Garysmum…I’d say introducing you to his friends is a really GOOD indicator he likes you. Don’t worry and give him a try 😉

So….how are you feeling? What are you going to do? 😳

Thisisworsethananticpated · 25/03/2023 20:48

PinkIdentity

nothing
I wish him well but I look back at 2022 and how anxious I was and it actually triggers me
I’ll never get like that again NEVER
I’d rather be single
I’ll continue therapy and maybe go back online some stage ?

if he was the type to talk and communicate
but he’s not and never has been

@Thisisworsethananticpated MrNoEffort made me feel like that
Better off single
