Do You Think He Has Gone Off Me?

[abbeylee90]

I said I'd make a new thread earlier so like I explained in my other one. This guy I went on a date with 2 weeks ago and as I explained he said he wanted a 2nd we were meant to go out last Friday but he cancelled as he has a cold. He said on Sunday he would let me know if he wants to go out this week but said yesterday he has a cold but also hasn't been messaging me in the morning like he normally would

It was accident prudie I've removed it now.

I haven't gone to any game this year

Could he join you in whatever you've got lined up on Saturdays? Can you invite him?

What is it with younger folk these days, that they seem to be looking for relationships even on a first date.  It never used to be like that.  

[pastafreak]

Lol...when I think back, I had a lot of 'one offs'...never expecting more. I often knew the person from the pub we all hung out in...or from work.

[Countrylover]

I never looked for a steady relationship when I was young.  In fact I steared away from it.  I never wanted any ties.  It was much more fun.

What is the right age to want a steady relationship, CL?  I was married in my early 20s and never once regretted it. 

[Countrylover]

I suppose Barry when the right person comes along,  but I never went looking for a right person.  I had no intention of a steady relationship, marriage or a child but it happened.  Married at 25 child at 36.  Both came as a surprise.  Never had a  courtship or engagement.  But 52 years later were still together through good times and  bad times.  I would have enjoyed a few more years of being single with no responsibilities.

Lottie, I don't usually join in on these never-ending posts, but I just caught the tail end of this one when you were asking

//What is it with younger folk these days, that they seem to be looking for relationships even on a first date. //

I don't think Abbey is all that young, I seem to think she is in her 30's.

[Countrylover]

That to me is young Barsel.  Loads of time yet for the right partner to turn up. Just don't look for one and make the most of being single while she can.  

[Barsel]

We're all different aren't we Lottie. I got married just before I was 22 yrs old but didn't start a family until I was nearly 30. By then, all of my friends were married and if this is what's happening with Abbey, I can understand why she asks these questions, although I don't know the answer.

[pastafreak]

My first marriage was at 25...it lasted about 8 years. Second marriage at 35...that lasted a bit longer!

Daughter has been with her partner since before 2010. That year they went off to work in Australia for a year. She recently told me that they'd not lived together before that...talk about taking a gamble! She is 38 and he is 41.

[pastafreak]

Ps...I was a late mum like Lottie...38.

Pasta of course not it a girls day and no room

[pastafreak]

You didn't say that earlier abbey.

[Barsel]

Abbey, are you happy with the replies you have been given?

 

[abbeylee90]

Yes it with the girls on Saturday for bottomless brunch 

[abbeylee90]

Barsel some 

[MargoTester]

So you are still going to the bottomless brunch even though you have no money?
