Here's hoping on finding a decent guy/girl under the mistletoe who doesn't use hun or text speak. Dating thread No.7

[Zanywany]

Off you go

You know what to do

Well I have five dates coming up in the next four days!

I have some child free time and am in the South East visiting friends and family and so put on my GSM profile that I could do with someone to show me the sights in London (or take me to the pub.) The offers have come flooding in!

I've already gone on two dates (have already updated further upthread - will defo be seeing one of them again) am going on another two tomorrow, and then one each on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

All of them look HOT as well. Squeeee! I'm leaving my moral code well and truly at home

Where on earth are you finding the energy!! I'm knackered just wading through the messages!

if you can squeeze in a debrief (...)while you're in town, would be lovely to meet you for a quick and a swapping of exploits! :)

meeting doctor 'two' on saturday for coffee. also got a lovely message on OKC from GORGEOUS scruff I really liked (havent heard from him for 9 weeks...) & will try and engineer a meet next week or so.

The only way is IE.

Close Encounters of The Intimate Kind... good title for the next thread maybe? :)

Fab idea Snapes! Are you about on Friday or Sunday, late afternoon/early evening? PM me if you are and we can arrange something.

Hi all. Ive been following your thread about fwbs. If anybody leaves near the South West or Wales I chatted to a rather gorge bloke from Cardiff. Hes on POF under Baz15. Im not going to pursue it tho as hes v.fit too experienced . Anyways if any ladies would like to have a look - feel free

snape - so, saturday .... wow. obviously we need a full report, your the first one to road test thins new way of doing it.

Ive had to hide my profile this morning, i cant keep up. And im losing the ones i wanted to talk to under all the others, im getting about 40 an hour, which is quite ridiclous.

anyway - because im not free till next weekend, TJ has offered to pop over, no sex, just to meet, just for 10 mins and he says he wont even come in. But that it would be good to meet before my free weekend.... now, does this sound like a good idea? or a very sneaky and somewhat clever plan to try and get laid before then?

watch! I had one I was going to pass onto you as well. lovely bit of scruff, just your type, a bit young for me... (this is like swap shop - there are queues forming!)

The doctor now has my mobile number. we're texting about double dating with cleopatra and albert einstein. I know absolutely nothing about him, not even his name. as far as I am concerned this is ultimate sexual fantasy territory. whoop!

...and i think it's sneaky and clever for him to suggest popping by for ten minutes (and possibly slightly arrogant that you won't be able to resist...) I do tend to applaud sneaky and clever, but i think i'd decline - the build up will be better!

Morning all

watch, I think it's nice that he wants to meet you prior to meeting you. I think he may well be hoping that it will be for longer than 10 minutes but I also think it shows how excited keen on you he is. I would go for that if I were you.

That's great news from you too snape, I shall look forward to your update early Saturday evening.

I've dropped the bore and the one who lives too far away, not sure they will have noticed yet though as I just haven't replied to their recent messages. I've been chatting to a quite nice single dad but he lives an hour and half away! I need someone on a bus route!

time, you need someone with a car. I intend to put literally no effort into this, there will be no meeting half way, or spending my money - they can come to me. thats abit awful really, isnt it. but you know, if im doing no strings, its to convience me... not to convienence them.

its sneaky and clever, i also applaud both, so have said yes to monday, giving it a few more days build up. Poor boy ( at 24 thats what he is ) is going to be eaten alive. He knows i live quite near and A&E unit, he said it would be very handy for when i break him ;)

snape - pm or fb me detials and ill have a look ;) and yes, its exciting.. esp if you dont even know his name... yoiu dont need to really. Its all abit exciting isnt it.. meeting for a date, having swapped filty messages for a few days, and not even knowing their names... :) i hope you break sinks.

Morning,

Watch, I reckon he wants to check out if you both fancy each other enough before he commits to an IE, please don't jump down my throat for saying it, that is the impression I am getting. He is fit, as I said earlier, but you can never tell until you actually meet if there is any chemistry on both parts.

My POF settings are so that they cannot see that I've viewed them.

I haven't had any 'why didn't you reply' messages, as far as I remember. I can only assume that there aren't many woman with IE settings and they reckon they are onto a sure thing, no jumping down my throat again please . I know they are not but they might not read your profiles and just assume things.

Good point Poppa about people blocking people who have certain settings, mine says must not be looking for IE.

Snape, fingers crossed for your date on Saturday.

Make, you've got alot of stamina and odds are that you will find a nice man out of all your dates.

I've always said I won't commit to a long term thing until DD leaves home. I reckon once the DC's get into the teens and the time to have anymore has passed (I don'tjust mean literally, I mean practically aswell) then you feel you've come this far as a single parent you might as well wait until all your DC's are over 18.

adams - i think ( or know, because he has said enough times...) its because he cant wait till next weekend. I told him my situation, and he was understanding of that, and suggested that as a comprimise. I think, or im almost quite sure, than most men wouldnt turn down nno strings with anyone... its far more likely that i wont fancy him, than him not fancying me. Esp after ive been teasing him for a week.

Yes I suppose if they are looking for nsa then they won't turn it down and he has seen your photos. He does look fanciable, hope you think so when you meet.

hes seen my pics, and hes on my fb too... so hes seen my not so good pics too. he actually seems like someone quite decent, who cant quite believe what has just fallen in his lap.

Does anyone know what happened to the 'hot date' thread by Sarahstatton? I posted on it and it's gone . It was an internet date and he took her to a spa on second date? Perhaps she was worried about tmi, (oops that means I've repeated it) always a danger when you post on an open forum. Perhaps we should move ours over to chat then at least it goes after a while. Imagine meeting someone special and them finding our your mumsnet habit and happening on finding posts! What does everyone think?

im not fussed. im unlikely to be with someone and care enough to tell them i post on an internet formum. its hardly breaking news. Damn, its not something i even felt i needed to mention to my husband when i was married. Besides, its annoyonmous, unless you are on my fb and know me.

Just a thought. I know a few people stopped posting as soon as they met a significant other, on the dating threads anyway but that might have been because they were too busy and had nowt in common but I expect they didn't want to discuss the man, which is understandable.

Adams, my boyfriend is on here. The main reason I dont post so much nowadays is really just because I am not internet dating anymore. Also because I dont really want to make anyone feel bad if they are having an 'I dont like being single moment' and I am going on about him (though to be fair a lot of the time it would be about how strangling him would please me ).

In terms of meeting someone you really like and not wanting them to read posts on MN, there is always MN HQ for deleting stuff or name changes. :)

though I am still reading up on all of you! And wail in times inbox!

Yeah, I agree with watch, I doubt there is a man alive, especially one posting on POF, who would turn down the chance of a no strings hook up, no matter what! I had messages within seconds of my profile going live, before I had even uploaded a photo, that's how desperate keen most some men are. And I doubt very much this one will be wanting to assess watch before he decides whether she is worth a shag! I reckon that's a given!

I'm not bothered about moving the thread either, I think it fits in well in relationships, I couldn't care less if anyone found my posts on here, if he was planning on sticking around he would have to get used to my MN habit, if he had a problem with me posting then he wouldn't be the bloke for me. No one tells me what to do these days

I personally miss you stay and would love you to come back posting.

I am having hair panic. MAJOR HAIR PANIC! that'll teach me to decide to not dye my hair quite so much in 2012...

as to deletions/namechanges special folk - I don't really think theres anything to hide. if someone doesn't like what I did before I met them, then they're not right for me. (and not that there is anything to tell) If they are interested in me prattlingon about my hair/weight then good luck to them! I think we tend to name change for the awful stuff. Nothing to hide!

I like when people get all lovey-dovey cuddled up and come back and let us know how they are doing! :) I really do! :) gives us trepidation hope.

:) thanks time thats lovely of you. I am trying to catch up whats been going on since you all went IE crazy!

whats the hair panic for? just dye it :) so - whats the plan for sat then?

and yay to stay - please do pop in, i totally get that you might not fit in with the 'dating' ness, but you know, its nice to see how you are getting on, and say hi :)

time - i think its agiven too.. the boy is more than keen, im hoping this transferes into real life energy and iget thrown around the bedroom for a few hours.
