MisChief, why don't you try a phonecall with the guy? He may just be used to typing huge emails for work and thinks nothing of it.

He's an aircraft engineer, I don't think he writes many huge emails for work :p

So anyway he asked for my number so I gave it to him. He sent me a long reply on POF like 30 mins ago, and before I've even had the chance to reply he has just texted me asking a load more questions. I can't keep up with this guy :o

So why can't you talk on the phone and get all the questions out of the way?

I don't like talking on the phone. I have a ridiculously short attention span.. talking on the phone would mean I have to give my 100% attention and I end up bored and distracted. This applies to friends as well, I try to avoid unnecessary chit chat unless it's face to face :o I guess this explains why I always take ages to reply to emails/texts... probably because I can't concentrate for long enough and end up doing something else :(

Anyway so I replied to this guys text message... then he replied back with an essay.. it was like an email in a text message... Was the longest text I've ever received!!! I haven't replied yet :o
 
So after a 6 month period of nothing, i met 2 girls on the same night down my local. Girl 1 is quite pretty and a bit mad (in a good way), i spoke to her first and agreed to go on a date with her the following sunday. I should at this point say that im pretty old fashioned in some senses and the thought of dating 2 women at the same time doesnt seem right to me.

I then met girl 2 after girl 1 left, i'd seen her previously at a birthday party my youngest son attended so had chatted to her before, she is very pretty and a bit more sensible (from what i can gather). She was with all her mates who kept saying she liked me and i told them i had a date with someone else so couldnt do anything about it.

Woke up in the morning to a message on facebook from girl 2, i didnt want to give her the wrong idea so ignored it. Sunday arrives, girl 1 has not responded to my message to confirm. I leave it till late evening then think sod it and start chatting to girl 2. We arrange a date (this friday) and have been texting quite a lot since.

Girl 1 then texts me saying sorry i thought it was tuesday (although im pretty sure she didnt), this put me in quite a dilemna! I saw her down the pub so ended up telling her exactly what happened and that i'd arranged something else with girl 2 so couldnt just drop her due to my old fashionedness and that i couldnt go on a date with her. Felt like crap, she looked really upset and soon left. I got a text later saying thanks for being honest with me etc as shes been messed around in the past, which in turn i think has made her like me more.

Now im in a position where i've not really made a choice of who to pick, things have just worked out like that. I think me and girl 2 are going to get on very well and she'd probably be better for me but every time i talk to girl 1 (i see her down the pub quite often) i end up thinking she'd be a good laugh to be around. I am becoming confused.

No idea why i just wrote that all out lol, was only going to moan about why things always happen at once instead of being spread out nicely through the year...
 
CliffyG just date them both like sigma says, you arent doing anything wrong and if they are both interested they will help you make your pick when the time is right :)
 
I know technically i wouldnt be doing any wrong, it just doesnt sit right with me. If i had to make a choice right now i'd pick the one i'm going out with on friday so i guess things may have just worked out right? If things don't work out i'm pretty sure the other one would be up for trying again, the honest approach has helped me out in that respect i think.
 
Well, I've had to let Karis down gently, I now have a girlfriend! Me and Zoe got chatting again, for pretty much the whole of yesterday, and then I went over to see her, and well, I've decided that I'd like to be her boyfriend. So yeah, happy days :D
 
*waits for CliffyG to post: "Well Girl 2 forgot about our date and has deleted me off BookFace, so I tried sending a message to Girl 1 and she hasn't replied."*

I'm thinking you are being too stubborn on this, you wouldn't tell your friends sorry I can't come out tonight as I have x planned with my other friends tomorrow. :<

Yeah I'm sure she'll be happy about being second best. :p

The term "you'll do" springs to mind.
 
Cliffy I can see your point but could you not get to know both just as friends?

One of the cute guys I messaged only seems to be after fun and then who knows so that's out the window. Although he's calling me baby and sweetie and though I don't mind close friends/a boyfriend calling me that I don't like it when it's a stranger.

Another asked for my msn because they didn't want to chat on pof so I gave it and that was the last I heard :confused: oh well

A couple of cute guys did the "would like to meet you" on my profile so I sent them a message but haven't heard back :confused:

However, another cute guy I messaged a few days ago replied. yey! So will see how that goes.

Were they able to add you on msn? I know there has been a few times where I've added people on msn but they say they haven't received my add request. Had to both add each other and then it worked :confused:

I wondered that but surely he would've just messaged me on pof saying it didn't work.:confused:
To be honest I wasn't all that fussed just from the brief messages we exchanged as I didn't get the right "vibe" about him.
