He wants to call me.

I have said no, cos he asked for my landline number not mobile.

Plus i have known him about 30 minutes .

nutcracker · 26/01/2008 22:56

I told him i am going to print his pic off and take it with me every time i get the bus LOL.

Was nice to chat anyway, and wasn't as bad as I thought. The vodka helped anyway

you could give him your mobile number. If he's serious he will call that. and if he's a creep then it'll be easier to screen calls to mobile.

well i have been chatting to a guy since last sunday.

he wants to meet and he seems like a really nice guy so agreed...but OMG he is like a male bunny boiler.

he texts every half hour and if i dont reply within a couple of minutes he texts asking if im ok, do i still like him, amd i still talking to him.

now at first i thought it was cute and endearing.....now i jus think its sad and depserate.

he really is lovely though....dunno how im going to let him down without (not sounding big headed) leaving him a bit upset.

nutcracker · 26/01/2008 23:00

Well he has gone offline now.

Tbh it does unnerve me a bit when they ask for numbers so soon. I mean whats wrong with chatting on msn for a bit ?

Perhaps I am a bit too paranoid, but personally, i'd like to chat on msn a bit more before i give out numbers etc.

You watch me bump into him on the bus now lol.

i agree..i hate talking on the phone anyway

i wouldn't give a number till i had established some kind of rapport or was meeting up

and never a landline

nutcracker · 26/01/2008 23:05

Yeah thats what I thought zippi. I knew where he was going straight away as he asked which internet provider i was with and then wether i had my phoneline with them too and then soon after he mentioned me giving him my landline number.

He said he's not keen on msn or texting.

I just said that I had a rule not to give m landline number out at all, and that anyway it was a bit soon.

He seemed ok with that, but as I said, he went offline straight after so who knows.

Oh, I'm glad to see other people feel the way I do - I hate giving out my phone number and talking on the phone anyway but men online often seem to ask for it within a few minutes. It puts me right off

nutcracker · 26/01/2008 23:12

I'm not fussed tbh zippi, he seemed like a nice bloke and I found him quite attractive, but it's up to him, I am not up for a chase LOL, have neither the time or the inclination.

He said he'd speak to me tommorow night if I was online, which obviously I will be, so we'll see.

I am slightly unnerved by the fact that we live so close by and that I could easily bump into him though.

Brings back memories of when I met a guy years ago who I worked with.We finally got together and it turned out he lived in the next road to me and had done for nearly 20 years.We'd never seen each other around.
16 years later and we're still together and he's my dh.

Thats a fab story bubbaloo.

Also why do men not read womens profiles ?? I have quite clearly stated in mine that I do not drive. I did this because so many men seem to find this a problem.
Well this guys 2nd question in his 'quickfire questions round' as he called it, was 'do you drive'.

That annoys me too - read the bloody profile. I think I'd be put off by someone living so close too. But I seem to be put off by anything and everything.
