Now we have Billy, he doesn't quite fit into the normal picture, he's tall, handsome and blonde! He is quite frankly gorgeous but everything that comes out of his mouth is utter bulls**t!
Billy made his first appearance back in May (in fact around the same time as the Knight arrived) he asked me out within minutes of meeting and persued me mercilessly during the summer, there is an awful lot to like about him to be honest, he is pretty, sweet and you can't help but melt a little at the smile and frankly I've always been a sucker for a looker :-) On the downside he's been a bit of a bad lad in the past and has a bit of an iffy background, oh and has slept with at least one of my friends, never a good sign.
To be honest he was great for building my confidence up, told me I was beautful all the time (including when I saw him last night!) and had compliments flowing like they were going out of fashion, I did go on a 'kind of' date with him in the summer but couldn't really deal with all the stuff that he came with, he is, however one of those guys you just look and and think, yes you are fit!
He decided to tell the village that we had slept together (well I guess we did, he slept in my bed when he was having some problems at home at the same time as me but that was all that happened) I felt the need to tackle him about this last night and he denied ever saying it, the good thing was that enough people were there to hear him say it, including that he would have liked to but I was having none of it! I'm glad the air was cleared.
Now I live in a smallish village and Billy and Knight know eachother, yes you should have seen my face when I realised that one!

The Space Cadet
This one is currently ongoing! This is another from http://www.plentyoffish.com/ we've been 'talking' by e-mail and text for what seems like forever but is in fact 3-4 months now, the e-mails were going back and fourth at the rate of a couple a day but the texts seem to be going back and forth at quite a rate.
Yes, he does totally fit the tall (6'2) dark and handsome that seems to crop up here a lot! Now we had planned to go out on a date just after New Year but he got a dose of man flu on New Years Eve and had about 10 days of being sick and off work so that never happened (I am starting to get a bit of a complex about boys getting ill on me on first dates!)
I'm finding this one particularly tricky, half of me really wants to meet him but the other half is worried that he's not going to be all I want him to be (yes I know this is probably the half that is right) he has this great knack of cheering up a really miserable day for me, whether it's the 'hi honey' text that is sitting on my phone when I wake up in the morning or just something sweet at a point when I need it, it seems to arrive on the phone as if he knows I need cheering up, so if I meet him and it's a big disappointment I won't have that to look forward to anymore, oh what to do?!
So far a date has not been rescheduled, we shall see I guess?

Video Boy
I met this one on http://www.eharmony.co.uk/ all sounded promising, again over 6 feet tall, dark and not bad looking (yes you will see a pattern appearing lol!) We talked for a while on the site and he kept asking to meet, so I eventually said yes and we were due to meet on a bank holiday Monday in August, it was a mad weekend, party central here and I was out all weekend, I was determined that I wasn't drinking on the Sunday to be ready for the Monday, which was to be my first proper date in over five years, well that went right out of the window on a messy hot Sunday with lots of drinking (and eating of vodka jelly) and bands, The Knight in Shining Leathers also ended up staying the night so by Monday I can't say I was looking forward to the date with a hangover very much, I checked my phone in the morning (complete with a sleeping knight next to me!) to find out that video boy was sick and I have to say that I was pleased about that!
Eventually on a Thursday night about a month later the date took place in a gorgeous pub (more gastropub I guess) about 45 minutes from my house, it went rather well, no awkward silences, he talked for ages about his business as a wedding videographer and as I was due to be Bridesmaid a few months later we had lots to talk about, the pub shut and we moved to the car and continued talking for hours, all good it seemed apart from I really wasn't sure I fancied him and he was a bit concerned about the distance between us (over an hour in the car) we left and I had a text before I arrived home saying he'd really enjoyed himself and could we go out again, to which I agreed.
The second date was a bit slower than the first, he again picked a great little pub but I was a little concerned at how much he mentioned money and how much I must earn, he also said that his sister who owns the business gives him money as and when needed which I thought was a little odd, he also lives at home with his parents at 34 and I still wasn't sure that there was any chemistry going on, the date was fine but we called it a night as the pub closed and date three was arranged, I'd talked to lots of friends and had been told that maybe as we were getting on the rest may come later.
On the day of date three I decided that I didn't think it would happen so cancelled, since then we have had a couple of conversations but the bit that I find most interesting was seeing him appear on http://www.plentyoffish.com/ the other day, the thing is his profile doesn't seem to show the person that he actually is, it portrays someone that plays a lot of sport (the nearest he gets is watching in on the TV these days from what I can make out!) has a business of his own (well kind of!) I did have to laugh to be fair, surely they realise that you'll find out that these things aren't true?!

My Knight in Shining Leathers
Well this guy came into my life in May 2010 and appeared at a time when I was particularly low following the break up, I first met him in my local sports club, he came up to me and said 'I'm sure I know you from somewhere' I replied 'I doubt it, I'm not from around here!' I moved to my village four years before but hadn't really got into the village life (how things have changed!)
He continued to talk to me and I found myself looking around to see why he was spending so much time talking to me, he is a friend of the girl I was out with and I kind of wondered until I saw her face if she'd put him up to it, he is your typical tall, dark and handsome, over 6 feet tall, brown eyed, a running addict (not that I knew all of this at the time) and just quite lovely really.
The friend I was out with did a disappearing act and he very kindly offered to walk me home as I had no idea where I was going, it turns out that he lived in the next street, he walked me home and left about 12 hours later, so much for that cup of tea eh?!
The same has happened a couple of times since, one thing I really like is that things are so easy between us, I don't think he will ever realise how important he has been in my road to recovery, he helped to rebuild the confidence in me that had been destroyed.
I've called him my 'Knight in Shining Leathers' as he often turns up with DVD's for me to borrow and once he turned up at my door in his full bike leathers, he has excellent taste in films and every couple of weeks I'll get an email asking if he can pop around with some he thinks I'll like, these days he does just that, DVD's, cups of tea/wine and a chat, there is definately chemistry there but I'm not convinced that we don't both like eachother a bit too much to take it any further and ruin the really good friendship that's come out of it.
There are often comments when we are in the same place by people that have no idea of what's happened before, I didn't think it was that obvious!
I saw him in the pub last night and sat with him for a bit, he's had a rough time of late, I have a feeling he may crop up a fair bit in this blog.

The two 'Big Ones'
I came out of arelationship with an emotional bully (it took me nearly 5 long years to realise that, not once in that time did he ever tell me he loved me and to be honest it crucified me on a daily basis) If we need to refer to him in future I will be using a term from a friend of mine, that term is w@nk bag! It took me a long time to get over it, I spent weeks doing a brilliant immitation of a soggy tissue until one day I discovered that all of his excuses were bu**shit and the fact was there was another woman involved (a minging one at that) I then hit anger and the recovery started (not before I impregnated his leather chair with cat p*ss, I so hope that he still has it, it really is the gift that keeps on giving!
Before w@nk bag there was a relationship of just over five years, we'll call him Mr Safe, Mr Safe was lovely, tall, dark, handsome, adoring and as boring and sensible as they get, he used to go through a phase about every six months of asking what I'd say if he asked me to marry him to which I'd respond that the answer would be a no. I think the realisation of this hit me one Christmas when he made me open a box, a box the size of a ring box, I've never been so relieved to open a box and find that it wasn't, I guess that was the beginning of the end, it was amazing really, after all that time I barely shed a tear about us splitting up, if anything I was relieved, selling the house and splitting everything was the pain but in all I was glad that it was over, you see I'm not good at going for the sensible options.
