I hope that at the very least he was a pleasant bloke and not a weirdo.

Niecie · 03/09/2011 21:05

Solo, where are you?

Alibabaandthe80nappies · 03/09/2011 21:54

Niecie - I have just roared reading that Grin

Soloooooooooo!

Solo · 04/09/2011 00:50

Helloooooooooo!!! Grin

Well! very nice chap, spent 3 hours with him and we didn't stop talking! had a scrummy pizza for lunch and I thanked him by text within half an hour of parting company. He said I was welcome. No other contact though,, despite the fact that he text me loads before we met!

No idea if he liked me much, I suspect not enough, but we'll see. I thought he was very nice. And he insisted on paying even though I was prepared and happy to go halves!

Soooo...popped into M&S and bought baaaaad things and am eating them. Sorry, just feel a bit pants.

Dropped in to see my brother on the way back and they asked me to stay for salmon en croute. I ended up doing it!!! it was fab! Grin

Maybe he just doesn't want to appear too eager.

Thank you Giganticus. That thread is frustrating!

Solo · 04/09/2011 01:48

Perhaps. Time will tell :)

Mornin' all Smile Sounds promising Solo maybe play it cool? What's all this about baad food didn't know P.M. ever says that.

Ali Granny here!! Grin remember you HAVE to eat when you're hungry even when you're busy.

C'mon now can't have anyone forgetting THE RULES !!!

TheOriginalFAB · 04/09/2011 09:05

If nothing else, Solo, it was a practice run for your next date Smile.

MuffinsMummy · 04/09/2011 10:45

Morning all :)

Solo glad you had a nice time on the date

Welcome back cheerfulYank I saw you on a thread a couple of weeks ago and was going to ask where you had gotten to but didn't want you to think I was stalking you Grin

I went out last night and ended up meeting some really lovely men who took me for breakfast this morning, I didn't get in until 6.30 Grin I ordered the smallest breakfast, less than half the size of the one they had. It was really lovely talking to men without worrying about them trying it on! I bumped into 2 of exhs friends and they were getting a little too friendly! Yuck!

On a good Pauling note I took the DC for lunch yesterday and had tomato and basil soup. I thought I would want something else after but instead of buying something when I first ordered I thought I would wait and get something if I was still hungry but I wasn't! Before I would have got something and eaten it anyway!

This has turned into a bit of an essay! Hope you all have a good day, catch you later :)

Alibabaandthe80nappies · 04/09/2011 11:41

Morning all :)

Solo I'm glad you had fun :) And yes, I would play it a little cool too. What made you feel pants, that he hadn't texted again?

ppea - no don't panic, I did eat when I was hungry. I guess what I really meant was that there was definitely no unnecessary eating!

Solo · 04/09/2011 12:12

I texted him this morning...'Good morning! judging by your lack of contact, I assume that you are less than impressed/interested/attracted delete as neccesary Wink) to me. Shame really, but let me know.x'
Said that so I know where I stand really.

Reply was
'Good morning. I thought we got on well. You are attractive. I just didn't feel we had enough chemistry going on.x'

Me.

'Yes, I thought we got on well too, not a single gap in conversation! I do think chemistry often builds up though.x'

Him

'Well if you fancy coming to dinner one evening and seeing how we feel in that environment it's up to you x'

So, it would appear that he's cooking for me soon...

I don't get that people in their mid 40's think that chemistry is always instant. Or is it just 47 year old me?! Hmm

Niecie · 04/09/2011 12:49

Glad it went reasonably well Solo. Even if there does end up being no chemistry, it sounds like you can at least be friendly, although I suppose you probably wouldn't see it each other again if the aim is to date rather than make friends. If you had lots to talk about and felt comfortable with each other I reckon that is a good start. Fireworks and instant attraction can be misleading - they can go as quickly as they arrive.

There was no chemistry between me and DH to begin with. He was my boss and I thought he was odd. I don't think the feeling was mutual - he used to watch me walking round the office. Wink (God, that sounds really stalkery doesn't it?! It wasn't just that I knew he was interested even before he said so.) Anyway, obviously chemistry grew because we have been married for 18 yrs now.

Solo · 04/09/2011 13:09

:) we'll see Niecie.

OP posts:
TheOriginalFAB · 04/09/2011 16:11

I didn't fancy my new man when I first met him nor for a while really but now? GrinGrin.

I would be tempted to knock his socks off then walk away. That will teach him to be impatient!

HowToLookGoodGlaikit · 04/09/2011 17:10

Im bedridden with a nasty cold just now, but will eb back with you ladies soon. Just wanted to check in, see that everyone id behaving themselves & of course to see hwo Solo got on Grin

GiganticusBottomus · 04/09/2011 17:46

Solo - dh and I were friends for a year before we suddenly realised we fancied the pants off each other Grin

Alibabaandthe80nappies · 04/09/2011 18:45

I am a dreadful example of a calm ad considered approach to relationships. DH and I had decided to get married after knowing each other for 5 days Blush And then we moved in together after 2 months, basically as soon as we could organise it. Blush

GiganticusBottomus · 04/09/2011 18:49

excellent! Grin how long have you been married Alibaba?!

Alibabaandthe80nappies · 04/09/2011 19:45

4 years in October, but together for 7. Having decided we were going to get married we decided there was no hurry Smile
