Definitely her

Mentioned that I was running late and had left my wallet at home and that her insisting on paying for parking at the weekend and leaving coins in centre console of my car when I declined meant I had money for coffee on way to work - she diverted out of her way to bring me lunch

Sounds like a nutcase

potentially. Well... probably.

issue is what can seem cute and 'above and beyond' now will MAYBE be completely stifling and overwhelming later....... maybe.

it's a bit like facebook... when you find out it 'knows things' enough to put you in touch with a friend you'd lost touch with for years, great... when you find out it's listening to your conversations and reading your text messages for its own gain, not so great.

I think it depends on what type of relationship op wants. Some like being centre of attention and needed, others like their women independent and hard work.

That's a bit different to, driving to your work (how the fk did she know)....with a lunch she's just made up on the day, then giving it to security because she couldn't get in.

This has all the hallmarks of a fking nutter.

Have you even pumped her yet.

If a long term g/f brought my favourite lunch to work, I'd think it was really sweet.

If somebody I'd dated a couple of times did it, I'd be running. Fast.

When the ex was staring in the restaurant - did he look scared she'd found him again?

Women really can't win.

Yes they can. Every woman knows what pleases a man.

This is before we get onto the whole, she booked a table, that just happened to be at the same place and time as her ex on presumably a fking Monday night.

Correct me if I'm wrong but after two coffee dates, ice skating and a dinner I'd be inviting the woman round for Turkey Dinosaurs and a look at my smiley faces. No out for tea again.

About 6 months ago, somebody linked to Mumsnet on this (or another) thread. I followed the link to see what their point was and looking at the dating stuff on there, it really is an eye opener. If I'm bored, I still browse it occasionally.

Trust me - if a woman on there posted that a guy she'd seen a couple of times had randomly turned up at her work and dropped off her favourite lunch - I'm pretty sure 99% of the posts that followed would tell her to block his number.

[TroubledSoul]

I had a look at the Mumsnet online dating thread the other day and it's a real eye opener!

I've matched a few girls recently but then find I just can't be arsed talking to them after a few messages. I started talking to a lass who lived in Hull. Looked fairly attractive, then found out she had three kids. I tried to end the convo by saying ah right well I'd really like kids of my own at some point and guessing you don't if you already have 3? She said something like "oh no I'd have more". Didn't know what to say then so just tried to be polite until I couldn't keep up the pretense and stopped responding

Another I asked if she fancied a drink, had a few messages on WhatsApp then she didn't respond to the last one I sent and I couldn't be arsed chasing her. I just feel pretty indifferent at the minute for some reason. It would take someone mega special to snap me out of it I reckon.

Also in the midst of all this, I seem to have somehow started a thing with a girl mate that involves a lot of sex... And alcohol. And sex.

Jeezus what an insight into the world of a mumsnet user. Can I join? You ok hun? Mr this Mr that. I didn't know such overanalysis was even possible. But despite the sisterhood bravado many do seem to admit to being sluts in the end!

Those skanks love their abbreviations! Did you see them talking about "looming?" After a few pages it transpires you have to imagine the man looming over you i.e. about to dtd (do the deed) and then you'll know if you can bring yourself to shag him.

[Fermit and Sexy Sarah]

Bloody hell, even I (far from 'down with the kids') knew what FWB means!

Here's one to throw out. Have any of you on Match or the like (inc Facebook) ever been Catfished? (Google it if it's an unknown term)

I once (10 years ago?) was, and man, did she do a thorough job on the deceit! She slipped up on a detail which aroused my radar, and a reverse image search, on one of her many pics she'd sent busted her.

All you should care about is if they're DTF......

[TroubledSoul]

The way they talk about us is nuts. Some of them seem to think they're so much better than the bloke they're seeing yet they are quite obviously tts themselves. Some of them are alright, just a bit mad.

I had no idea what looming was from my limited reading. That's a weird thing to think about. Should we introduce face flapping as our thing? I mean I'd never let a fat lass sit on my face so...

ETA: Their list of "commandments...; "7. You are the prize - they should be trying to impress you.". fk off!

WTAF is an 'iron'? Apart from something to press ones shirts with.
