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?

The first time dh had ever been abroad was for our honeymoon :) I thought it was quite sweet actually. Made it all the more special.

I was going to write this >>>>>

"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."

Oh dear. I was right, wasn't I? You're not very clever, are you?

Never mind, it's not the B teck all and end all of everything. I still think it sounds as if you're not suited to this boy man, but from what I've read on this thread, the 'dating' site you used tends to lead to one-off sex sessions anyway, so perhaps minimal compatibility required!

"My point was that you aren't going to date him for his brains Grin"

"And I suspect he isn't too worried about yours either, so you will be fine."

AllThatGlistens · 14/09/2014 21:52

Oh good Lord.

It's like watching the thread implode in slow motion Grin

Is Tinder just for sex? I'm not saying that I am the most sexually experienced person, but how would knowledge of European capital cities impact sexual performance?

MaidOfStars · 14/09/2014 21:53

I'm 37 and have never been to Scotland, but am hoping my PhD makes my excuses. I have a Cup-a-soup every day for lunch, which I imagine is worse than tinned soup on the Suspect Soup Scale, but I eat it with sushi, where does that leave me?

The Scotland thing is a quirk. I've been to lots of interesting places (including, wah, some Spanish islands), just never made it up there....

OP, you are being horribly snobbish from what can only be perceived as a position of weakness. Which just makes it funny.

Fairylea · 14/09/2014 21:53

As long as he doesn't bring his empty tin along as a penis beaker I think you'll be alright.

overslept · 14/09/2014 21:55

OP I have you are a bloody good shag to make up for the fact this poor man is going to be subjected to an evening of your charm.

overslept · 14/09/2014 21:56

hope*

somewherewest · 14/09/2014 21:56

Ok, the Berlin thing is a bit non-ideal...though it doesn't mean he's uniformly dim. I have a history PhD, am pretty well read and well travelled and can have an intelligentish conversation about anything Humanities-related...but when it comes to science or technology I make Kim Kardashian look like Einstein.

MaidOfStars · 14/09/2014 21:56

Would depend if he can get it Tallinn.

iklboo · 14/09/2014 21:56

Pico - one may think of capital cities, perhaps in alphabetical order, to prolong one's performance?

If he gets past Addis Ababa he's a keeper.

NickAndNora · 14/09/2014 21:56

You're a snob, he's never opened a book or newspaper. You should both run like the wind.

ConcreteElephant · 14/09/2014 21:57

oh badoomtish Maid!

MrsCurrent · 14/09/2014 21:58

Yep, definitely cancel. He can then get a date with some with a life.

Spat my tea out fairylea Grin

Me so stoopid

Giraffinalaugh · 14/09/2014 22:00

So you've gone on Tinder to find someone who is low standards one night stand material because it's just for six, not for long term relationships, and luckily, he's found the same. You clearly aren't dating material either.

Please use condoms!

`Oh well, it could be Rotterdam or anywhere, Liverpool or Rome...

Best thread in aaaages. Thanks for the belly laughs.

LetsFaceTheMusicAndDance · 14/09/2014 22:04

If I've got a 2, i from a red brick, can I get a hot looking 22 year old? I'm 50 though, not 33 but I've got all me own teef.

Fairylea · 14/09/2014 22:05

Been around the world and I, I, I, I can't find my tinned soup... I don't know why, I don't know where, where Berlin is.... but I can use tinder. ....
