To blatantly use you all to sound off about something nice?

I went on a date today, and it was lovely.

I've had a really shit few years. Really shit. Had my heart broken, become chronically ill, just had loads of crap going on. Had given up hope of finding anybody lovely who would look past all my medical issues and see me for who I was, and be interested in that person. But today I had a coffee date, and it was brilliant, and I didn't want to leave to pick the kids up. And we're having lunch on Thursday. And even if things don't pan out, I would very happily be friends with him, he's really funny and thoughtful.

Squee.

Sorry, as you were. Just a bit of niceness on a Tuesday.

Thank you for this. It’s nice to read about lovely things happening. I hope it works out well for you OP!

Aw, this is lovely!

I hope this ends up being like the lovely thread where the OP "accidentally" slept with her best friend and they ended up living happily ever after!

Yay. I've had a shit couple of years and this gives me hope.

All of the SQUEES!

Did the cats approve, that's the burning question....

That’s wonderful OP. So pleased for you. Nothing beats a first date that leaves you giddy and smiling and anticipating what’s to come.

I experienced the same thing nearly a year ago and we’re still together. Still gives me butterflies whenever I see him!

Ahh lovely news op- have a good Christmas x

Where did you meet him?

Defender has asked the most important question! Hoping they did.

That's fabulous! Hope everything continues to go well.

Yes OP - its all down to the cats opinion now

This is so lovely! Hope you have a wonderful Christmas

Do you have another date planned?

The cats adored him. They were very pleased when he came over this evening (I'm alone over Xmas as the kids are at their father's). He arrived with ice cream, sweets and flowers, we ate party food and watched Netflix. It was lovely.

I found him on Tinder - a rare find indeed!

What a lovely thread! Sounds like it's going well

This is wonderful to read. Happy Christmas 🎄

Happy Christmas

So lovely to read this OP - Merry Christmas and I hope dates 4 and beyond are just as great

Squee!

Wow, sounds fab, always trust the cats.

Does he have a single brother? Or a clone?

Amazing! I married my OLD squee find, just sayin’ ;)

It's so lovely to hear a positive dating story I've got everything crossed for you. Merry Xmas

And as we're both on our own today, he's coming over in an hour

Ahhh, he sounds nice.

Oh how lovely OP! How did it go?

What a lovely thread! I hope this is the start of something wonderful for you OP
