  • Ossireo, that's horrible, hope you havent replied to the text.

    block him from your MSN.

    Look at it this way - if he's that horrible now - just think of the heartache you have saved yourself from later if u did go out with him - lucky escape!
  • Is anyone still up?

    I went away from this thread for a few hours because I was talking to a lovely Canadian man on Msn (Yay!! Who knew I was completing a challenge without knowing about it) and when I came back I had to read 5 pages!!!

    So glad everyone here is in the same boat. Whether young or old, poor or bankrupt, we should all stick together.

    Plus, after reading some of the posts, I'm going to pledge never to let another person take advantage of me!! I respect myself way too much and although I'm single, I am never ever going to be desperate enough to lower myself to be with someone I think will be bad for me. That includes those bad boys I so very much like!!!!

    Anyway, enough of the rant. On with the challenge of losing weight / gaining money / finding a (decent) man :T

    Well that was weird and cruel. Remember the nice guy I mentioned, the one I really liked .. well he popped up on MSN and started chatting to me a bit drunk, said he would like to meet me again etc, asked for my number , then just texted me 'idiot, I was joking I dont want to meet you'

    So now I am all sad and confused :(
    Please be weary about giving your phone number out to people online hun, there are some dodgy fellows out there, Msn should be ample till you get to know them better ;) I dont mean to be prude, just concerned ;)

    it was all so out the blue as well, I thought it was quite ironic considering all we have chatted about on here as he did seem a really nice chap and in a way had set a little benchmark fro me in how I liked being treated.. and then this grrrrr

    something a little similar happened to me, met a man on msn, we were chatting, lived quite near each other, swapped photos, he seemed really nice, we were talking for ages, about a month, he also set a little benchmark for me as he seemed perfect, then suddenly he doesn't want to meet and ignores me!

    Dont you think its screwed up how you could fill a club 50-50 with single men and women, all too shy to approach each other, wether they want to or not, to scared worrying what the other is thinking. Yet on the whole, all thinking the same thing, and as a result all going home having missed out on the opportunity ;) does that make sense???

    yes does make sense - in fact i may have been to a night like that the once.

    Part of my problem is i get shy around the guys i really like but have no problem chatting to the ones i dont.

    We dated for 2 weeks in April, he called things off as he was still totally besotted with his ex. So I do know him of sorts, know where he lives etc (although he still doesnt know where I live as I am rather private about that with my son etc) so it was naturally ok in my mind to give him my number again as I still like the guy even though I thought at the time I bet this isnt real.

    Least I have now seen something bad so I can get him well out of my mind!

    Wow thanks, you hit the nail on the head for me hun....I can happily chat to freinds (male and female) but get really shy and clam up, making a complete fool of myself, if I really like them.

    I know, and they wonder why we get confused. I mean in the 2 weeks we saw each other I had been to his place, he had made me fantastic dinners, held hands over candle-light (a total first for me! ex-hubby didnt believe in any kind of romance!) and there was attraction but nothing happened in that department either it was all going nice, slow and romantic! (probably TMI there but just meant to give the drift :o) But it was constant "ex did this ex did that etc" so I pretty much knew it was a non starter until he got over her :rolleyes:
