The Dating Thread - Part 12. How NOT to lose the will to live. Sense of humour essential!

[TimeForMeAndDD]

Good morning everyone! Had to start a new thread as the old one is no longer receiving posts.

Fill yer boots!

Time that's a shame. Wouldn't float my boat either tbh - at least you found out beforehand I suppose.

Seaside good news! give us the lowdown on your date

This could possibly be the most successful dating week in the history of the thread...

Fate like Sponge, it doesn't float my boat, but each to their own.

I just knew it would be a matter of time before I came across The Ex www.pof.com/viewprofile.aspx?profile_id=37221450

Time I think they've got his best side there

Actually sponge he sits on his best side.

Time. God I hope his identical twin dosent turn up for my date on Friday.

Now, now, he might be beautiful inside!

Not my type but leonardo dicaprio or usher, mmmmm

Hi everyone, i'm just catching up at the moment...

lubey - your dress is lovely and your date sounds like its going to be amazing, i would love to have a date planned like that

mylittle - how much weight are you looking to lose? got any ideas how to loose it? I need to loose about a stone and i'm not very motivated right now.

sponge - I'm happy for you that you are seeing him again

watch - whos the new guy? did you meet him online?

just to update you on my side - mr workaholic who i saw on thursayd who was still selfish called me on friday, but i didnt answer then called him back later. he didnt answer or call me back and he has text me twice tonight, wow he has some f**king cheek!!

also mr cheeky is annoying, he keeps texting me and wanting to speak to me alot and clearly has no idea about what is involved in being a parent as keeps asking me to see him at short notice. he seems very young.

also, I am not sure if my profile is rubbish or something. I have messaged a few guys, and some have replied and others havnt.

if you message someone how many replies do you expect to get?

ok, ive worked it out, i have messaged 15 guys and only 5 have replied so that means 10 havn't and they are the really sexy ones too

Notsure, thats one in three that did reply! Doesn't seem too bad considering how fickle dating can be

I pretty much never message anyone at most I'll look at someones profile, that often prompts a message.

I always keep my profile very short, usually 'not interested in a relationship..just looking for someone to have some fun with'
I think pictures count more than text really, plus it's hard to write anything that doesnt sound like the usual clichéd old gobshiite

Loves - I do want a relationship so ive put that on my profile. I've thought about trying IE to see if it works but still thinking at the Moment!

ah
well
your actual relationship is a whole different ball game..I have no use for them so ignore everything I say about dating

notsure Changing your profile to IE does increase the traffic, you get lots of messages but you also get lots of cock pics dross. You have to have a strong stomach If you can be bothered sorting the wheat from the chaff you do actually come across some nice men. I've had some really good conversations with lovely blokes, too far away for dating alas. I actually like the IE area better than the regular area, it's more fun, it's busier, but at the moment I can't be bothered dealing with the idiots.

Morning all

It's tomorrooooooowwwwwwww arrrghh :o so much to do!! :o

im going to join you in that scream

i have got the jitters - BADLY.

like, - what if i dont like him, what if he doesnt like me, what if we dont get on anymore, what if we do. What are we going to do? what if he cancelles? Im so expecting a message saying so - checked pof to see and he was on it., i jumped and logged off. pathetic.
what if he only said yes to doing something, because he felt bad to say no?
what am i going to say to him. what do i wear?

see - jitters.

HELP!!!!!!!

what if it goes well and we make a third date? thats NEVER happened since i was 20 - i will be terrified and have NO CLUE.

Course you will like him watch, he's a dish, even I like him . Stop being daft, pull yourself together woman! He likes you, that's why he spent a long evening drinking with you, offered you a backie home, if he didn't like you he would have made his excuses and left. He has told you a lot about himself, personal stuff, he trusts you, he trusts you because he likes you. You have no reason to worry

And let's hope it does lead to a third date. I'm sick of hearing "never get a second date", it will make a nice change to hear "never get a third date"

watch - breathe... breathe... and... relax.

time totally love your - 'it will make a nice change to hear "never get a third date" '

:)

see - first dates are easy. They arent even exciting or nerve wracking really. But second dates, your sort of saying ' hmm. i like, lets do it again and see how much'

im sure it will be fine. but bugger, im properly jittery. Which is obvioiusly because i do like him.

my god, today is going to be awful.

Lubey - what times your date tomorrow?

notsure I want to be a size 8,but a flat stomach is my main goal. I have been cheating. Started taking xenical last week, its a mates old prescription that they didn't get on with. I currently am 10 stone 7 or was last week. Need that exercise dvd so I get note confidence. I also keep skipping meals. Not good I know, no lectures please, already had them, but they don't know about the diet pills, probably best they don't.

Third dates are the same as second, just you are getting that much closer to the bedroom
