  • Okay, quick summary, or as quick as I can be as I tend to go on :rotfl:

    I turned up early, good job I did as she arrived 5 minutes later. We had a good meal, talk, laugh and it went really well, although we were both awkward to start with. The talk started with the time she met my girls, so that was got it all going.

    She is very shy, sweet and after relaxing she told me a few things and gave me a few outs, but I don't want out. She's had a tough time, but for me, her emotional scars aside, it's the past. It may sound scary to some, that she let out all her fears and things on the first date, but she needed to do it. It didn't affect the mood and it relaxed me and even though I didn't open up as much as her, I said more than the average struggle with feelings man :o

    We spent about two hours eating, drinking and talking, went for a walk as it wasn't raining, then realised we were hungry come early evening, so popped in a food outlet for some food :o

    I walked her home, she invited me in, but I said I better get home to the girls, who I checked were alright a couple of times, and she was cool about it. I reassured her that was the only reason I didn't want to go in. She said she would call me this evening to make sure I got home okay :o

    Anyway, we agreed to meet again on Tuesday......quick huh?

    However....told you this was long :o

    She called me this evening and we spoke a little about a great day and then my girls kept bugging me "can I talk to her, can I say hello", so I let them talk to her as they remember her etc.

    A couple of minutes later, 10yo comes in "Daaaaaaaaaaaad, I asked Lucy if she could come around tomorrow and she said only if you said yes. Please can Lucy come around tomorrow after work?"

    So....I couldn't say no to what was now 7 pleading faces :o

    Excited, I called friend who is her friend/colleague and babysat for me today, and she then said "You know Lucy usually comes to me at Christmas as she has no close family..., well I spoke to Lucy and she said if you wanted her to be with you and the girls at Christmas" Penny drops...Hang on.......it's been one date!

    I wasn't going to tell the girls what she said, but when babysitting she told the girls all these things like if we get on, she may be with us at Christmas, so even if I didn't want it, everyone else does.

    So there you have it, it went well, she's coming around tomorrow, maybe Christmas and it's moving a bit fast :o

    Don't get me wrong, it's great, I think there is major potential here, she's everything I like, although a bit of confidence wouldn't go amiss, but after years out of the loop, I feel dizzy :o

    I'm walking on air, i've had parts of me awoken that haven't seen daylight for years (steady!) and i've met a young lady who I find adoreable, funny, sweet, attractive and intelligent. It's a far cry from the past two Miss MOTM's.

    I just find it moving a bit fast and pressured by friend and my girls. :confused: It's one afternoon, albeit the best one i've had without my kids for many many years.

    As I say, great time and I can't stop thinking about her. No disrepsect to anyone on here, but my faith in females in a romantic way was low, but this young lady has made me think. She's 8 years younger than me at 28, but I don't care.

    Sorry for the long post, my head is spinning, i'm excited like a teenager and scared at the same time. Giving myself emotionally in this way is a thing of the past, so i'm all over the place.

    I spoke to the girls all evening about her and they are getting way down the line, but they are as excited as me. I supposed it helped that they have met before.

    Don't know what else to say :confused: Excited but pressured :o

    argh MOTM it sounds like you had a lovely date, but now feel like you have to carry on dating her even if you didnt want to, but you do want to, but that isnt the point you would like to have a choice, am i right?

    that is a bit of a pickle... and the down side of being surrounded by all these girls! i think we are doing the same thing on here too :o

    I hope not, but I'm desperate :p

    Sounds like it went well, even if it did leave you a bit dizzy. Maybe it's best to let the girls meet her sooner, maybe calm them down a bit!

    And now I have heard gossip, I'm off to bed, night all!
  • mm - I'm not bothered about the Christmas thing, it's just everyone else's assumption that it would be alright. If the next 3 weeks before Xmas is as half as good as today, then I wouldn't want it any other way. It will be strange, but if it makes everyone happy...

    sm - ta!

    emlou - Yes. If I didn't like her, discovered she was a man or she turned into a stalker, i'd have trouble letting the girls down. Don't get me wrong, my friend likes her, but she has a family, so she's palming her off to me. Lucy has no family and her friends all have families, so she's not got alot of places to go. I'm happy to have her here, she's certainly going to be a good role model for my girls and she seems to be great company, but I want it to be my decision, or at least a joint decision and not something I feel I must do. But then i've been doing what my girls want for years, including not meeting any young ladies. :o

    Tia - well, they've met before, but tomorrow she is coming around for the evening, so the first time in our home :o

    Glad you got your gossip ;)
  • Night tia and anyone else off to bed, I'm heading that way too

    Night all xx
