As title really, its tomorrow and chatting to him now, but its going to be a disaster. I've been sucked in by a pretty face. Am I being too picky?

Pandora, yes, me too. I just had visions of a Council Leader eating, oh, I don't know, something pretentiously healthy like pomegranate compote.

@chaseface I think that's it, certain posters being unpleasent are probably just jealous that I'm meeting hot, fit early 20s guys. Oh well sucks to be them

Jealous? That you have to use shagging sites to hook up? Bwhahahaha!!

really!??

Jealous of not even getting a goodbye kiss on a date? Grin

SweetsForMySweet · 16/09/2014 14:11

Glad the date went well Op. I hope the reality lives up to his fantasy op Wink

On a more serious note there was another article in the paper today about a woman who got raped after meeting up for a date with a guy through tinder so be careful, the instances of rape and sexual assault from meeting men off tinder seems to be rising.

MyFairyKing · 16/09/2014 14:15

Sex tinned soup eating young men, yummy! Wink

Thanks for the uneventful update, OP! Shame you didn't even get a kissWink

Has he suggested meeting again or has it just been 'nice meeting you' brush offs by text?

(Liney, is that HB you're talking about?)

thatsalovelyhat · 16/09/2014 19:46

Bagsy I not be the first to say 'would have'.

EllaFitzgerald · 16/09/2014 20:08

I'm meeting hot, fit early 20s guys Have you met one that wants to give you a kiss goodbye yet?

I would of rode him silly but think he was looking for something more than that and might have become clingly Yes, I'm quite sure a hot, fit lad in his early 20s is using Tinder to find a long term relationship with someone in their 30s who thinks he's thick, and that's the reason you didn't get a kiss goodbye. Grin Course it is.

And I'd love to know why your poor spelling and grammar is acceptable because you're dyslexic, but his use of a z and his 'BTeck' is fair game because he's obviously intellectually inferior to you.

DoctorTwo · 16/09/2014 20:45

So glad I'm not streetfurniture. Sara, do what you want, don't let anybody police your life.

2Bemused · 16/09/2014 20:51

Soup for lunch is very "orf", tinned soup even more so.
Berlin is another issue. I would say that tha poor city has had enough problems over the past decades to be excused in itself.
As fir prospective date, there are more than enough peopke on this site who fall into the same category, so I would go along with an open mind.

ilovesooty · 16/09/2014 20:51

It sounds as though he at least made some effort - he showered and changed.

Oldraver · 16/09/2014 22:00

LMAO at OP thinking we are jealous of her...My 10 20 year younger dates always wanted a second date...but then I did make the effort and shower

bunnysmummy · 16/09/2014 22:27

Would he provide tinned soup at a dinner party ? Bear

WarblingOyster · 16/09/2014 22:49

You couldn't even get a kiss? Shock

Bloody hell...not jealous of that!

I thought Tinder was all about sex, not dining habits and geography!

Thumbwitch · 17/09/2014 06:32

You shouldn't date boys under 25 if you're over 25. I learnt this pretty quickly at 28, when my BF of 11y fucked off and left me to start over. It's rare to find an under-25yo that is mature enough to deal with if you're a fair bit older. Once they hit 25, though, they're fair game Wink

Meow at you lot ha. Its not that I couldn't get a kiss, he was too nervous and I didn't give him the chance to.

Got the message this morning asking what I'm up to this weekend

SweetsForMySweet · 17/09/2014 09:00

Too nervous to kiss you? HmmConfused.Does he know why people use tinder?, -are you sure he's 22 & not a teenager check his id maybe he thinks you will take the lead (Mrs Robinson styleGrin) maybe that's why he went for a woman 11 older than him

bikermouse1 · 17/09/2014 09:15

My o/h's Great Aunt X is seriously wealthy. We visit her every Boxing Day. Lunch is served by this bloke wearing white gloves and his wife is the cook. The menu is unvaried, starting with tinned Heinz Cream of Tomato soup. (Is your friend's soup Cream Of btw or just plain Tomato soup? I think we should be told)

She's the widow of a bloke who left school at 14, started as an apprentice, rest is history.not even a bteck to his name

Btw the Cream Of is always served with slices of white bread taken from a standard loaf. But the slice is cut in triangles and the crusts are removed.

So please don't knock the 'umble beginnings.
