Belting out Adele songs to your 27 cats... dating chat thread #5

[lubeybooby]

New one! Off we go :o All kind of dating, chat here.

Guys, a lady cannot divulge details, but safe to say that my resolve was weak and I am back in the game. It was great fun and everything I did, I did for me. I was under no pressure and it was bloody wonderful.
No idea what the future holds, rebound, long term or what, but I have no regrets, such a dirty great smile

Go for it sponge I have the same problem. Where I live the men are the same height as the women, just very tiny and small boned (and all shorter than me, sigh). Everyone thinks I am German or Scandinavian. I went to a haloween party last night and in my heels was 1m85 (6'1) and was the tallest person by far. More jolly green giant than Essex girl

MsCello pin him down - not literally by the sounds of it!!! You need to know either way.

Ooh go wriggly I'm jealous! Mind you I nearly had a bit of no strings fun myself on Friday, one of my brothers oldest friends admitted that he's had a crush on me for years and we had a little snog which might have led to more had I not decided to be sensible! Now regret being sensible of course!

at the dirty great smile Wriggly no regrets is a good attitude to have

I'm with you on the tallest person Skinned but I have to admit I celebrate my height by wearing heals

Oh go for the crush fraggle

Well date no.3 all sorted, I am driving to his local to meet him for a drink seen as he has a 4am start on Tuesday.

Going for the crush is not going to happen, he's got a girlfriend which I didnt know until today, so I'll be staying away. I'm a bit shocked actually as he's a really really nice guy. He's lost about 10 stone over the past few years and is now rather rather fit and I do fancy him but I definitely won't be going there.
If he ever splits up from his girlfriend I will be in there so fast!!

Well done Zany! :o

Fraggle that's really cool re: your blind date. Good luck! Sucks about the crush with the gf though

Sponge - wooooooooohooo nice one :o

I think he uses msn a bit like Facebook, but he definitely loves his body - with good reason

I will sit back and wait and see I think. He has got under my skin but I'm not going to lose hair over by seeing what happens over next few weeks, if anything happens

He does check out, he is a real person and he has lost what he said he has lost. Not googleable due to job but I know people in his field that know him. They have done a little underhand looking for me.

I have been messaging a few other people so haven't gone completely gaga - just a little bit

feeling a bit sad n lost today. It was 2 years ago today that I discovered all the texts on exh's phone. Sometimes I wonder if I am ready for dating..

hello! sorry haven't been around as spending most time in the theatre at the moment for the play (opening tomorrow!) Such a lot to catch up on and can only reiterate what others have said really...

to those taking a break and hiding profiles - you need a rest from this game on occasion! Of course, we still need you here for advice, arse-kicking and commiserations. :)

poppa so pleased things seem to be taking-off for you! :)

wriggly hello! :) excellent!

msC hmmmm. well, he obviously looks after his body and that's great. 100 pics is a little over-indulgent and I do agree it's entirely possible that he hasn't dated for 7 years since the death of his wife & child. very sad. I think your attitude is good though - sit back for a week or so, chat away, flirt a little bit, see what happens.

sponge go for it. I absolutely agree about men my age ( in very general terms) letting themselves go. Alright, I'm a bit saggy and stripey, but I make the best of what I do have, I think. I'm lurking on the princessing thread at the moment and enjoying looking after myself. I'm meeting a 29 year old for a drink after work tonight. I'm 43. This is clearly very wrong, who cares.

ike1 . I think two years is a good rest...but you can't really quantify it by time elapsed - it's how you feel about it, whether you feel ready...In these circumstances, it might just be fun to meet some new people and feel desirable again...

...and in news from me - I need to make a spreadsheet to keep up with myself. talking to seven (!) blokes on okc/gsm at the moment, ranging in age from 29 - 38. meeting one for drinks tonight. the doctor is back on the scene after a week of silence, so that's good. :) texting away. :)

snape :) thats all quite exciting! Good luck for the date later....29!!!!! :)

ike - you dont have to date if you dont want to you know... plus anniversarys of these things do tend to get you feeling abit crappy. ( mine was the 17th dec that i kicked him out, 3 weeks prior to that i found intimate pictures.. its probably why i never date at this time of year). Take time off, do your own thing and when you feel like it jump back in.

wriggly!!!!! :)

Zany - 3rd date. Wow. seems to be going well then... pleased for you.

And sponge - ANOTHER date!! whats that, 3 in as many weeks... bloody hell :) :) :)

Mrs Cello - honestly, alarm bells would be going off for me. I know what its like to be totally captivated by someone beautiful.... but just be careful. Looks do not make the person and it sounds like he very much knows he looks good... never a good sign in my book.

Upon saying i was going to hide my profile, i was messaged by Scorpion boy. We were going to date earlier this year, although it could have been last year. im not sure. anyway. we nearly dated. But didnt. Hes tried a few times to talk to me and has said sorry. but i was pissed off. But im talking to him now. For those than want a peak.. pm me. Hes 29.

and i replied to this message on okc, that i thought was maybe a fake profile because he is way way too pretty... but he has more pics up and he is real. I sent a message... but didnt hear back, so i think i blew it. which is a shame. because.. like i said. pretty. very very pretty. But i do think i would have wanted to shag him, just to sit and look at him :)

Also - ginger mullet man has not contacted me. I was of course not interested. but fgs.... that does a girls ego no good when she doesnt even hear back from a ginger mullet.... !!!! a fucking living at home, ginger mullet!!!

Aww ike you need a big hug.

Very cute Italian I know is on FB. He wants to go to an adventure playground with me. Sun is shineing, should I message him? Decisions, decisions.......

SkinnedAlive yes message him & go, why not.
Ike feel for you, tough day, but we are all supporting each other here so unload if you need to.
Sponge check you out
Zany Poppa and Snape woohoo
Watch maybe you should think of it as a lucky escape
I am now trying to be cool about arranging the next date, he says he is up for it, but is so laid back. I would love to talk 'exclusivity' with him, but am not sure it is the right thing to do.
One minute I am really into the idea of trying to launch this into a long term thing, the next I think I am on the rebound and should just grab the opportunity presented and go with the laid back flow....
Best get back to some work now

Sorry to hear about the date Ike, like Watch says anniversarys are hard so see how you feel in a few days time. I feel that I am over my ex but if I hear certain songs, like yesterday, I still feel very teary.

Skinned Cute + Italian = message him

Go for it Sponge, I think age is how you feel/act rather than an acutal number

Had to laugh at Times comment last night about not letting an old fart parking his slippers under her bed. Slippers on a man are a big turn off for me.

Well I hardly slept and have woken up with a sore throat and am so tempted to cancel with Mr Yacht but looking forward to seeing him so don't think I will.

No, don't cancel Mr Yaught. Take lots of cold remedy and you will be fine :)

By the time cats were fed and litter tray cleaned to their satisfaction the Italian was gone - I could call him but will let sleeping dogs lie. We do have tomorrow and Wed off though so maybe I will send him a messgae......... He smokes which is a BIG problem for me as I am allergic to it, bah. Otherwise I would have offered to help him revise for his exams [hhmm] [hwink]

Hi everyone Crikey, I am sooooo tired today! Reading about all these dates is exhausting!

Good plan MrsC, as long as you are aware there could be something amiss with Mr Muscles then you won't end up in the doo doo. Sounds like you have plenty to keep you occupied anyway

Snape how the heck do you do it? Do you have a system? Chatting to all these blokes!

watch Maybe he was looking for someone with a matching ginger mullet and pubes and so you just weren't the one for him. I reckon you have had a lucky escape there though!

Ike I'm sorry it's not such a good day for you. Have a nice day today, eat chocolate Treat yourself kindly and wallow as much as you need BUT, only until 4pm this afternoon! Then you put that scrote right out of your mind, put a smile on your face and fake it til you feel it. He is simply not. worth. it!!!

zany sorry you're not feeling too great but don't cancel the date! Things seem to be going so well for you. I'm really happy for you

skinned I'm probably too late now but yes, message him! Get yourself off on a playdate!

I normally wait for them to contact me to be honest - the younger men I've contacted must view me as I view the pensioners contacting me.

I do have difficulty keeping up though I expect some of these blokes will remain pen-pals, a few will progress to mates and possible one or two will be rather good friends. The latest one is from Prague, in London for 4 years, so I forgive the incorrect useage of your/you're and two/too/to as English is his second language.

Lovely rehearsal yesterday - there's a gorgeous chap in the play (who I think is attached, so a no-go.) who is in a skin tight lycra leotard for a good part of the 2nd act. I didn't know where to look (yes, yes, I did...)

zany hope you're feeling better soon - you should def go!

skinned I smoke, but wouldn't do so on a date and make sure I scrub my hands with toothpaste and brush my teeth throughly before meeting anyone for the first time. & I febreze like a motherfucker. is only polite.

It's pretty difficult not to look in such situations, don't you find?

Squeeeeeeeeee! Am orf to London very shortly so just placemarking on the end of this one, will read when I get back and by then hopefully be onto yet ANOTHER new thread.

Laters all, don't do anything I wouldn't do (that leaves you with MANY options though tbf)

lubey have a great time!

You will have a great time shine, I know it's pointless saying it because you absolutely refuse to believe it but I'm going to say it anyway, you are gorgeous!!! This man is very lucky in that you have agreed to have lunch with him you are the prize!!

Please, purlease, choose to think more positive
