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?

B-teck Grin

PiperIsOrange · 14/09/2014 21:27

So you have a SEN and you dare to pick apart somebody for not knowing where Berlin is.

I'm sorry but how would you like it if people refused to have a date with you because you are dyslectic.

WarblingOyster · 14/09/2014 21:28

I feel really sorry for him that he's being judged for his lunch choices Sad

Cradle snatcher! Grin

I have something different for lunch everyday, and it isn't 100% factory made food. Yes I'm 10 years older, and what?

You're using Tinder. You've already set the bar low.

If he's hot, go for it. It's not like you need to date him, right?

ilovesooty · 14/09/2014 21:29

I think it's pretty offensive to suggest that everyone who couldn't take A levels is stupid.

WarblingOyster · 14/09/2014 21:30

Lunch is boring, at least he can be arsed to make any.
Tinder is just for a quick f-ck, everybody knows that. Long-term + Tinder = no.

Teeb · 14/09/2014 21:30

You struggle to find men your age who wasn't to date you?

Lifesalemon · 14/09/2014 21:30

Have you ever seriously thought about why you are still single?

ADishBestEatenCold · 14/09/2014 21:31

"I'm not joking about any of it, this b whatever when I was at school a long time ago was just for stupid people where alevls were out of reach."

There are lots of reasons why people might not take A level courses and many of these reasons have nothing at all to do with ability and intellect.

That is true now and was true 15 years ago. It is possible that you aren't clever enough to realise that and, if so, that's not your fault. However, given your attitude, I think this man should probably give you a wide berth. It doesn't sound as if you're suited.

JellyMould · 14/09/2014 21:31

You did your a levels 15 years ago, so you're 33ish? Be honest, you weren't planning a LTR with a 22 year old off tinder anyway, were you?

sarahighseas · 14/09/2014 21:31

Sorry but isnt a HND is for people that cant manage a full degree, either for time or ability?

I've a 2:1 from a red brick.

WorraLiberty · 14/09/2014 21:32

I've read some of your posts today OP

You come across as a bit angry and insecure

Might be an idea to swerve dating until you're a bit happier with yourself perhaps?

Dating might complicate things and to be honest, you don't sound as though you deserve this young man.

kinkyfuckery · 14/09/2014 21:32

Man, I wish I had some munchies...

MrsRuffdiamond · 14/09/2014 21:32

OK forget the b thing, I don't want to offend anyone

No, of course you don't op. Hmm

rainbowinmyroom · 14/09/2014 21:33

Find someone your own age.

gemand3 · 14/09/2014 21:33

Why do you care what he eats or that he doesn't know where certain places are, your only going to be f*ing him and very much doubt you will see him again

MrsRuffdiamond · 14/09/2014 21:34

And this thread is a wind up.

sarahighseas · 14/09/2014 21:34

Sorry but these alternative a levels were pushed onto low ability people, as the schools got extra funding. Was the case when I was at school.

Firefighters do a HND now as part of basic training. Dare you to tell them they're thick Grin
