ps Susu - I had high hopes for your dirty texter...no news at all??

Pah! to the Dirty Texter!! We texted quite a bit on Xmas day morning & night and agreed that we should meet up in new year. I texted on 1 Jan to say I was back on the Friday, did he want to meet up. He said he can't cos he had plans (despite still having man flu). I know he's been in work this week cos he's one of my IM contacts, but I haven't heard from him.

Funnily enough, I've just been looking through the Xmas day texts and he did seem really keen, so

Thing is.... I didn't tell any of you this.... but, well, you know how he's known as the Dirty Texter? Well, let's just say I was feeling particularly saucy over Xmas and we were both Dirty Little Texters!!! I must admit it was great fun and we both, erm, got something out of it Thing is, he seems to be all text and no action, and with me, well, texting is just part of my vast repertoire :rotfl:

I can't pretend I'm not bothered, because we were getting on really well (before Xmas day!) and he'd been making all the running, so I can only assume that he's either a tease or he's got dateophobia (which I completely understand cos I've had it myself) There's a bit of me that wants to get in touch and find out what's going on, but there's another bit of me that thinks it's his loss and I should just write it off as a very bizaare experience :rotfl:

Oh, and makeup, I reckon you should meet up with your ex. Much better to regret doing something that regret not doing something.

I agree, I'm trying to live by that.

See, that is what I love about texting:D It's such great fun to flirt by text! Has resulted in many a text I later regret though:o If nothing else you spent Xmas having fun and getting a confidence boost and if nothing comes of it you were cheered up at Xmas and you had some practice for the next man to come along.

Definitely agree. Give it a go. Much better than wondering what if...

Yep, I'd hate to get to my 60s and look back on all the things I didn't do because I was too scared. This is BIG leap forward for me because only 3-4 years ago I was scared of everything!!

As I get older I get braver :T

s'funny, I was reluctant to tell you all about it in case you thought I'd, I don't know, backed down from some kind of moral stance (after the rollocking I gave him for the original Dirty Text), but - in my defence - his original DT was completely out of context, whereas Xmas day followed weeks and weeks of daily chatting, so it didn't feel weird.

Even when I pressed "submit reply", then saw that there were more of you online I thought "oh no, they're going to tell me off!!" :rotfl:

I don't regret any of it, though, although I am a bit sad that we didn't get chance to meet up again. Should I get in touch with him?

(you see, when I said I was brave, it doesn't mean I'm prepared to rush into a lions den without the support of my pals!)

Oh, this is me too. Have got so much braver in the last few years, used to be so rubbish and scared of everything and concerned what people might think of me etc, I think it is something to do with age and the knowledge that that thing you think is the worst that could happen will be nothing more than mildly embarrassing, if that, and the fact that I would rather cope with a bit of embarrassment than carry on in the same old routine.

Am slightly concerned this may be because I am entering the "batty old lady" stage:D

Hi Susu,

I know what you mean, when weird things like that happen I'm desperate to get in touch and shout 'but why, but why??' however am equally desperate to have upper hand and leave it as his loss, and be all cool, calm and collected!

Still at least you had some Christmas fun .... just leave the phone alone when you are drunk...that has alwasy been my downfall.. drunken texting..i've had to delete many a text the next morning as just too cringey to read again! :eek:

Thanks guys for your advice, will definitely meet up with him and see what story is! Most of my pals are smug marrieds and seem to have conveniently forgotten trials and tribulations of single life!!

Whilst we are in a confessional type mood, I did see my "not boyfriend" between Christmas and New year we had a lovely time. He was excellent company.

and then nothing

and then two texts on New years eve

and then nothing.

and whilst I don't regret it exactly I wish I didn't like him as much as I do. I am not checking my phone, I did text on Monday and he answered but it was a general work whinge, a bit flirty which he didn't respond to-- to be honest that stung a bit.

But I do frequently imagine myself as 80 and in a home and think well I am not going to worry about it then I am!!
