Dearly Be-Chucked, we are gathered here today because, for whatever reason, our man has dumped us!

Watching Glasto too, I love it.

Met a guy last night, from dating website, first date, walk in park and then pub. All ok so far.

He seems nice enough, but doesn't make me go weak at the knees, IYSWIM

Also he has txt me 5 times today and called and e-mailed.

I'm a nice person so have replied. I like him but don't feel he is a long term prospect.

What should I do? Advice appreciated.

IfYoureHappyAndYouKnowIt · 27/06/2010 00:13

Hmm,

a) give up, don't like him enough
b) take it slow and see whether gets better or worse
c) quick and get out

Only joking - very that you have the opportunity.

OK dumplings, we'd better take separate tents, not looking for a g* bang

Thanks, If , I don't know what to do really. Have spoken on phone with him again, he is a bit too full on, maybe I'm not used to this!

I would like to take it slow, put the brakes on, he seems keen though.

C option would be Ok, I presume * means *!! haha.

But if ** happens, I hope he doesn't get too attached.

West End Girls what a song. Takes me back to my youth, when I was gorgeous!

maybees · 27/06/2010 00:35

ps drove by one of Hs pub friends the other night and felt no emotion.No hate .no resentment .no need to do criminal damage to his property .This is a huge step forward for me [just needed to share] ,

will be there Happy we can have our own virtual festival ,we can sit with our wellies on in our front rooms x

IfYoureHappyAndYouKnowIt · 27/06/2010 00:36

You are still gorgeous Party, that's why the guy is after you

Waves to all............

OP posts:
partytime · 27/06/2010 00:38

Maybees thanks for the wave, and the 'High 5' the other week.

I think I prefer the reason for the 'high 5' at the moment rather than the guy who gets a bit too serious after one date, needy or what!

At least 'high 5' guy is young, probably has a few girls his own age on the go, no strings, so no pressure. I can treat this as fun and on my terms.

The guy last night although nice enough, maybe a good ** but feeling a bit of pressure.

I don't need that.

maybees · 27/06/2010 00:38

You ARE gorgeous PT you were just a younger version of gorgeousness back then how is ur garden looking my poppies were fab this year nearly gone now ..... xxx

IfYoureHappyAndYouKnowIt · 27/06/2010 00:39

Sounds good Maybees, I am having my own festival here for sure - regretting now that I didn't buy the £40 Chloe discounted wellies last month, but then I didn't realise I would be going to Glastonbury next year and having it in my own front room this year.

Starting, are you able to view Glastonbury?

OP posts:
partytime · 27/06/2010 00:41

Do you know, my garden is absolutely amazing. Glad yours is too. What a lovely time of year.

IfYoureHappyAndYouKnowIt · 27/06/2010 00:48

Sounds like avoiding the pressure is a good idea Party

Maybees/Party - my garden looking better this year - as Bald Eagle withdrew my garden deteriorated, so nice to be able to do it myself with serenity this year.

Maybees, if you're into learning I like this link triangles

OP posts:
maybees · 27/06/2010 00:50

Yes i agree pt re Hi 5 i think i would go that direction too ,think re men its what you feel happy with and relaxed about.Personally i think if i can get the hang of this self esteem malarky i will make better choices ,need to continue a bit more on my journey first ,but who knows whats round the corner .

maybees · 27/06/2010 00:55

Are your PIL still watching Glastombury ?Likewise re garden it brings me much joy did you loose much in the frost

partytime · 27/06/2010 00:58

I have bags of self esteem and confidence, but sometimes I wonder if it's a barrier that I have put up.

I have lots of 'front' and I am nobodies doormat, but s'times, maybe, I should let the guard down.

maybees · 27/06/2010 00:59

Thanks for the link happy will def look into this nite x

maybees · 27/06/2010 01:04

I think if you feel good enough about yourself then youve got it pt ,maybe the next step for you is to relax a little and enjoy it.....

maybees · 27/06/2010 01:06

like youve been on a journey, now just chill and enjoy the rewards of your hard work ,youre doin fab x

IfYoureHappyAndYouKnowIt · 27/06/2010 01:07

Party, agree with what Maybees said

Did ok with frost Maybees, lost very little

OP posts:
partytime · 27/06/2010 01:08

So true, which maybe why I've not binned needy man yet.

High 5 guy, I know i will see again. He is a dead cert, but 20 years younger than me so not a future life partner!

This guy as I say is nice enough but just too much too soon for me and I've told him so.

I want to be kind, which I am, without being harsh.

It was never this difficult when I was 16, either you fancies him or you didn't.

IfYoureHappyAndYouKnowIt · 27/06/2010 01:17

But was it that simple at 16?
