I've met a guy :)

[inamuddle1]

I met a really nice young man on Thursday night. He's a chef on a private boat. He's lovely. The boat leaves on Monday :(

You can still text each other..... if he likes you too, exchange mobile phone numbers :-)

[inamuddle1]

We have exchanged numbers.

my text to his reads:

OK well i dont have any major plans today. I get paid next week so i'm a bit skint and tomorrow my friends are playing an acustic session in a nice little Bodega that I want to save my money for. Your more than welcome, it will be fun. I doubt you want to spend your last Saturday night in the city in the house with me haha, but I'll be home. Tomorrow will be real good fun, I think you will enjoy it. X

Do you think that is ok? He's not replied but in a previous message he said he'd be in touch when he knows what the rest of his "team" are doing. I would like it if he wanted to spend time with me before he leaves.

[boxtops]

I'd miss out the whole sentence starting "I doubt" and ending "I'll be home" - don't be negative, give him the choice!

[MarkRae]

And change "Your more than welcome" to "You're more than welcome"...

[Svejk]

Where's yer romance, MR.

[MarkRae]

She surely doesn't want to give a bad impression, though...

[Mick-Talbot]

In that case.............What about dont acustic and i?


I think maybe two x's

[boxtops]

... and "really" good fun...

[Svejk]

I don't think grammar comes very high on most 'lovers' agendas.

[MarkRae]

I didn't want to go overboard, and hoped that the hint about your / you're would prompt her to check it over properly...

[Mick-Talbot]

pun intended, MR?

[Maydup]

"He's not replied yet" suggests the message is already sent.

[baza]

MR you old softie, are you trying to help the course of true romance ?

[boxtops]

Yes -we have all missed the boat (no pun intended) - that text has already gone :-)

[Bluestone]

He's not replied, so she's obviously already sent it and can't change any spelling mistakes.

[MarkRae]

Sounds a bit wet to me, Boxy. Maybe he's given her the old heave-ho...?

[Svejk]

Mark-Raes lonely hearts ad:
Must have GSOH,excellent spelling & first class grammar.

[boxtops]

it's worth a punt :-)

[MarkRae]

It all sounds a bit rigged to me...

[Bluestone]

It wouldn't bother me if I received a text with a few spelling mistakes. If I liked someone, I wouldn't give it a second thought.
However, I think the text in general is a bit crap. I think you've written far too much and sound a bit desperado. Just my opinion, I may be wrong.

When did you text him?
