    Grrrrrrr!!! Why would he make plans for tonight and then cancel?

    Exactly. He got in touch again after a week of radio silence, he suggested meeting up, he suggested meeting this evening. Message at 4.15 is all about how much he's looking forward to it, by 4.45 he can't make it.

    Am so flipping annoyed for even bothering. :mad:

    Haven't replied, there's really no point. It's not even like he tried to reschedule properly (just a cr.appy "have to raincheck things for a few days")

    Grr! Was genuinely ok with him going quiet the first time and it's not like I was thinking we were going to elope this evening, but am soooo annoyed that he got in touch and made all the running and made plans when he obviously wasn't interested anyway.

    Ooh I am so cross with life right now :mad::mad::mad:

    I can understand why you're annoyed but try to be angry just with him.
    Don't be annoyed with yourself for bothering or with life, just be annoyed with him for being a useless, !!!!less numpty.
    Having got yourself excited it's bound to be a massive disappointment but try to remember that it's his loss and use your free evening to do something lovely and pampering instead.

    Hmmmm, apparently you can't say f e c kless...

    STOP PRESS,

    Not caught up with thread since this morning but.......


    Who was asking about voile blouses?


    Have just been to Wallis in a shopping mall and in their sale were loads of black voile-y blouses!

    Might be worth checking out, either in your local shopping centre or maybe even online!

    Argh! how frustrating, tea! Not liking him right now!

    Lucee is optimistic like me but far more sociable. She loves and trusts everyone and will sneak out when I am in company. It is pretty obvious it's her too, I can go from having a serious, mature conversation to dancing cuddly toys across the sofa and back to serious again in 1 minute flat. She is also very huggy and will grab people she likes for a hug whether its appropriate timing or not.

    She never used to be this friendly but she has actually had her own therapy separate to me to deal with her own bad memories. Now she is a very excitable and happy 6 year old who cannot grasp why I cringe when she wants to talk to everyone and then often does it anyway! It's funny because a lot of people who have become friends over the years have told me that they have decided that I am nice eventually but at first they can't work me out or get a handle on who I am. I cringe once more because this would be due to all the personality swaps and Lucee is the worst/best for that.

    But I love her.

    Whizzes in. Passes all hugs onto Gitdog who retaliates with ear nibbles (I can manage an air hug, but that's my limit). Lucee, carry on talking to people, 6 year olds are great.
    Whizzes out again - dog training then a residents association meeting. Always associated resident's associations with know-it-alls who have nothing better to do than spy on their neighbours but this lot ply you with beer so I can live with that.:)

    ETA an air hug was perfected by a friend with autism who wanted to hug but couldn't bring himself to manage actual physical contact. Usually accompanied by a sympathetic aaaahhhh noise. In case anyone is wondering.

    My husband goes in his to make sure his tools are working properly.

    :eek::eek::eek:
    Tools! Plural! :eek:




    (Naughty Pyxis!:D)




    Tea, Firstly ((((((((((((Tea))))))))))))!!! A free hug!

    Secondly, he's done you a good turn by calling it off within half an hour of saying how he's looking forward to it.

    Presumably he had the decency not to dream up a dying grandmother or some other excuse?

    Well, the harsh reality is that he either
    a) got seriously cold feet, in which case, forget him
    or
    b) he got another offer, in which case, forget him.

    He's done you a real favour, believe me.
    Better the reality now, than a week, two weeks, a month etc. down the line.

    He's had two chances and blown it.

    Strike him off the list and onward and upward.
    Please don't waste any more energy on him. You don't want to be out of the frying pan into the fire.
    You're better than that, and you have all the time in the world to find someone worthy of your huge talents. :A:A:A

    Funny how someone can be so busy with last minute work that they have to cancel the plans they've spent all day making, but can still find time to be on pof :mad:

    Do I actually give off the vibe that it's OK to treat me with zero respect?! If he'd never got in contact again, fine. If he'd been chatting away but made no plans to meet, fine. If he'd had a date with me tonight and a date with someone else tomorrow, fine. So why bother lying? He asked me about meeting this evening at 8am and has been in constant contact about it all day. What a waste of his time as well as mine.

    It was a second date, he could easily have seen other people as well, it's the dishonesty that's really riled me. That and the fact that I got dropped so damn quickly when a better offer came along.

    But he totally gets away with it because if I say anything I look like a pyscho bunny boiler.

    Also got home to a birthday card from FOHs mum so that's just the icing on a marvellous afternoon.

    That card was a bit early, wasn't it? Ignore it.

    Don't say anything to the boilee. Keep your dignity. Just put him on ignore or whatever you do and don't, please don't, have anything more to do with him. Not worth it.

    He's just one guy, and one guy who's not very polite and not very subtle, so not particularly intelligent either.

    Lucky escape Tea! Lucky escape!
