Dada always doing nursery run, is he single?

[ByDandyTurtle]

Aibu in thinking he must be single as I never see a woman drop of the child

I want to approach him but unsure

😂😆 jezebel!!

I’m not de-railing the thread by answering any more daft questions.

🙏

Yes it's wild how society has changed so much in the way people date. When I was in my late teens/early 20s it was clubs you'd meet in-but people probably think that's a terrible place to find a relationship now. Then it was at work (I worked in a supermarket and everyone was dating each other) that'd also be frowned upon now. Someone said the gym was out too 😆I think we're left with hobbies although no doubt someone will pipe up and say it's "predatory" to go to a hobby with the objective of meeting someone. Are we all going to be forced into online dating if we want to find a partner lest there be any "misunderstandings"? Because god forbid you commit that cardinal sin!

My brother and SIL met in a nightclub! How outdated! I have fond memories (in my 20s) of being a waitress in a pub and flirting with a chef, a bar man!! (I actually dated them both) AND I have definitely had crushes on people at the gym in my time 💪It's silly now, I think the country has gone mad personally!! We're all socially inept and scared of being accused of whatever. Get out there, talk, flirt i say! (And then get arrested lol)

@MyLimeGuide how controversial-someone alert the church elders 😆seriously though, you are right this is having far reaching consequences for young people! No wonder they are all terrified of talking to each other. Society is really gonna be screwed in the next 20 years (if not already) if people can't speak to the opposite sex without first checking online to make sure it's ok! No one will have any interesting stories to tell their kids about how they met either it'll just be "on the internet"-The End.

Yup. Totally agree. No need to talk, kids are all just looking at screens anyway! Just scroll, select and download!

i think the thing is there is no in person single events now that used to happen in the past. approaching someone with the intention of dating at work or school/nursery causes the problem that it makes the situation for anyone that is not looking for a relationship or already in one highly awkward in a place where they can’t avoid you etc. also why would anyone want to pick a place where they cannot avoid the person once they have been turned down?

i know this might come as a shock but the recipient might not want to be flirted at in a place they can’t avoid should they not be interested in a flirt

@motheroflittledragon , there are in-person events for singles, but they are few and far between. I remember speed-dating, it was fun. My friend was popular, I wasn't.

it is a shame there is not more events like that out there

You could arrange one.

happily married to dh thankfully as i really am not the most social of people. but yeah it is a shame there is not as many events now for singles to meet with the understanding that everyone there is looking for a relationship

Any update OP? Nursery should be open now.

Thirsty...go grab a drink

Ladies, lock up your husbands! 😂

Cringe

So that's another couple of opportunities. Any update Sally?

Says the one obsessing over a potentially single nursery dad 😂

Imagine going on a date and finding out that person had posted online about observing you with your child and speculating whether you were single… with replies ranging from kept man to widow 🤣

Why would that be a shock?? Humans are built with functions of being able to deal with someone who is approaching them in every day life (and not wanting to reciprocate) it happens all the time!

Isn't that just what we had to deal with though pre internet??

When I was at school kids were asking each other out all the time and getting rejected and having to be in the same class together. Probably doesn't happen nowadays, perish the thought. But the idea that fully grown adults with kids themselves are going to have a breakdown over the awkwardness of being asked out whilst teenagers manage it with no drama is so bizarre to me. But we seem to be in the minority here Lime!

Yes oddly we are! It certainly takes all the romance out of it! Maybe teenagers are too scared now also, it will certainly get that way it seems, and a bit of rejection is surely character building eh? Ive always been nothing but flattered if someone flirts with me - regardless if its welcome or not!

Maybe Harry could pop on here and give us the answers?

It is character building, exactly. As long as the person interested takes "no" for an answer there's no reason to make a massive deal out of it. Disappointing to be rejected yes, but you move on. But now it seems like we can't possibly do anything that might result in some minor "awkwardness" for 5 mins-no wonder half the country is a neurotic mess. It used to just be flattering but now it has to be made into something sinister or desperate, of course!
