That is a really good idea. Can I ask which network provider you are with? I have an old mobile and would be happy to put some credit on it just for dating purposes, but don't want to get into having to pay £x a month... I don't do that much dating.... :cool:

O2, you can get new sim cards with them for probably even better deals now.

Yep, beware the serial texter, you may not be the only one they are texting. This one guy was texting both myself and my friend (we arranged that on purpose) I don't know how he managed to get anything done all day! Its hard not to get attached when someone is saying nice things and showing attention, we've all been there, but you'll get alot of that.... NEXT!!!

Awwww lara that sounds like a terrible day & a lucky escape, big hugs. I think i might have been tempted to go home, lie some sexy underwear out on the bed, picture it and send a pic saying see what i just bought in town whilst i was waiting for you. I would then of course proceed to immediately block his number & profile haha

ok ok i probably wouldn't 'actually' do it but thinking about his response to getting that then finding himself blocked makes me chuckle

I think I enjoy getting the nice emails/nice texts etc from a guy when we're getting to know each other online. I think it makes me feel wanted. I have got a habit of becoming too emotionally attached before meeting someone but I am trying to get out of that mind-set. A few men I've met have been NOTHING like their online personalities.

I've done the same hun,

I got caught up in the moment and ignored my better instincts (bascially everyone told me he was a !!!!!! but i wouldn't listen).

I'm slowly getting better but old habits doe hard (i know what you mean about the feeling wanted thing)

edit: changed my profile pic and seem to be getting more interest :eek:

I really dont get some guys so Im hoping that someone here can help shed some light on this for me.
Was messaging a guy for about a week when he suddenly went quiet, didnt hear from him for a while then he messaged saying he had been mega busy and was sorry he hadnt been in touch, asked if I wanted to meet for coffee. I replied that coffee would be nice so he sent me his number, added me on facebook chatted there for a bit then said he would call me at 10. That was last night and Ive still not had a call!!
I did send a text earlier, just a hi, how are you? Nothing!!
So, what now, do I just forget about him and move on? Strangely I dont want to, we really got on well. I know its stupid to build up an image of someone Ive not met but he was really nice and to top it off he was HOT!!
Ive had a few dates with other guys but never really clicked with any of them.(posted here somewhere) Thinking of giving up altogether and settling with my cat lol. Thought life was meant to get easier as you got older?? Lou x

Thank you for the advice everyone. It has been quite a surreal day.

Lou B - Either he really is busy or he's showing his true character by not calling or texting. In other words, he's rubbish at communication lol.
I would be careful with this one as he may be like this in the future. Don't call or text him now, as the ball is in his court. Hope things turn out well for you.

Edit - It doesn't take 2 minutes to write out a simple text so the "busy" excuse is probably just that.. an excuse.

I always seem to be caught up in the moment. I do enjoy the attention so I get sucked in... that's when feelings become involved and I always end up being hurt.

I have always said "the next guy I will NOT become emotionally attached to" but it always happens. I am improving though and there have been a few dates in the past where I haven't had any sort of spark with them.

Even though I do admit that I become attached too soon, I will always try and walk away if the situation is not right, i.e today.

Based on my most recent expereince, it's most likely an excuse. If he was really into you he would most likely be in contact. I thought i'd really clicked with the last guy i met but after that date i barely heard from him, and it was always me initiating contact. He told me he's been "busy" which fair enough he might have been but as Lara says it doesn't take 2 mins to send a text. I've pretty much given up on him now (i'm getting better at letting go but it takes time!)


Probably not what you want to hear but that's the advice i was given. I could be wrong and he could just be busy but it's best to keep an open mind and trust your instincts

One thing I have learned is that being busy is just an excuse really. I know people can be genuinely busy but literally a text takes 2 minutes to type and send.

Think about it this way. If you really like someone you'd want to at least let them know you're still there even if you're genuinely busy. So you'd text them saying "hey I'm busy but I'm still into you" or something like that lol. You wouldn't just disappear.

I know this post sounds cynical but most people I've met who disappear or go quiet, always use the "busy" excuse when it's not the truth.

Bloody typical

I give up and lo and behold he's suddenly messaged me >.< I need to take my own advice

Men confuse me

*edit* ignored all my advice and have just arranged another date I just can't help giving people 2nd chances
