Sundays

I have never really enjoyed Sundays since I split from my daughters dad. Don't get me wrong its a day off from work and it is the weekend. It isn't because I dread going back to work on the approaching Monday morning, its more that Sundays as a rule are family day , or in today's society family day /dad day.
Sunday is the day most people spend with their loved ones, their partners, kids, family. So when you are single Sundays can seem the loneliest day of the week.

As the Years have gone on I've begun to enjoy Sundays again. Some weekends I enjoy looking forward to the day I have the house to myself, the day the neighbours go out and its so peaceful where I live in rural Essex. Some Sundays I have my daughter, and even though we day not actually spend the day doing much we still have each other. Some Sundays are date day , although these aren't that often as most guys have their children on a Sunday.
Today I woke up not knowing what to expect. I had the potential for a date later on, but I haven't really heard from the Guy with firm plans. So instead of pining over the fact he obviously isn't that interested and is weighing up his options with a few women, I plan to claim this Sunday as Bonnies Sunday.
I have walked the dog in the glorious bright Winter sun, I have tidied up the garden and re potted some plants, I have done a small amount of housework and had a lovely soak in a bubble bath.
Today is my day. No man (even Gerard Butler, Jude Law or Robbie Williams) is going to intrude on my day. I plan to use the day to take my power back. Re group my feelings, find my inner love for myself again. Because if you cant love yourself you wont attract the right people into your life. I'm going to find my spark again.
And woe betide any man who decides to mess me around!

Oh yeah that's not me in my profile picture

So I find myself on line and I spot a nice looking chap. Lives fairly local, drives, single, no children, employed. All main boxes ticked. So I send him a message and we get talking.

From the start his messages are a bit off .As in they don't completely make sense or seem very over the top. Maybe its me, maybe I read far too much into peoples messages or texts.
Hi ya , it sure is a pleasure to meet a beautiful young mother here on this site whom I am attracted to. I love what i saw and read all about you. I am interested in knowing everything and hopefully meeting in person for a quiet drink and a long chat see if we can start a mew love story. You look really lovely with a wonderful smile. can I ask how many children you have? Do you drive? Please..... I am **** how nice to meet you xx

So aside from the small spelling error (forgivable) I found it a bit strange. Then the next message told me how he enjoyed being a Scout leader and then which street he lived on and his mobile number!
I was taken aback. I started to wonder if he was a bit unworldly if you know what I mean. But I continued to chat to him and eventually text him to make it simpler.
Then he sends me 3 photos of himself. I'm pleased to say not of his anatomy ! But it was becoming obvious from the photos that he looked completely different to his one profile photo (I know I broke my rule- 2 photos or no talky!)
So I asked the question:
"You look different in those photos to your profile?"
"Yes, that's because the site would not load me. So I used my twin brothers picture to get me started"

TWIN BROTHER!!?? 

So I checked "So your profile picture isn't you?"
" Its my brother **** as we are twins who is to notice the difference in us? If this bothers you and makes you want to go find someone else to talk to be my guest, its a free country"

I was gobbed smacked.  Okay so you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but come on! I have twin brothers, I went to school with a set of twins, my ex mother in law is a twin! They are each different to the other and there is no way my brothers would try and use each others photos as themselves (well I hope they wouldn't!). Maybe I will post a photo of my mother and say this is what I may look like in 25-30 Years time, or one of my daughter - actually no that's a bad idea ! The net is full of wrong uns already without encouraging them!

So no, I will not be talking to this lookalike again. If he can't be honest straight off he is not worth the future lies!
