Dating thread 15! cock-cages, hopeful pensioners the occasional glorious success!

[Snapespeare]

apologies for title, I am bereft of ideas as the sodding times 'kindly' edited my profile for me.

he may well be planning to approach you himself when the job is done?

Some men are delusional...it's a fact, proven by Time's erm...admirer

Welcome back to the sofa, here's some

I went onto the relationships board last night. That was enough to convince me to stay hidden

sponge he will think you are gorgeous and fab because you are gorgeous and fab.

Just taken a look at your link sponge

I may just invest in one of them in the future, if I decide to stop hiding. Do you think it would be too obvious if I put it in the bedroom?

Ooh cheers Chaotic, I've just cracked open my pear cider and got carried away with a tub of Ben and Jerry's. My stomach feels as large as the one that tipped me over the edge and forced me to delete.

I am loving being back on the sofa!!

Me too. The problem is, I read these threads and hear dates like watch's and think oooh, that's nice, I'd like something like that, the dating stuff where you really enjoy yourself and have a good time. That tempts me to go on pof, or whichever site, then I do and get disillusioned again.

Posted too soon.

I do enjoy hearing these stories though, it does give me hope that there's someone decent out there and when the time is right I'll meet him.

I can relate to that Chaotic, I want a bit of what watch is getting too, but, having said that, she is now on the slippery slope to A Relationship!!

I do know though, that I feel much when I am not clicking on POF and seeing the contents of my inbox. You can too much of a bad thing you know.

*much better

*can have

Gosh, I've only had one bottle of pear cider, it must have gone to my head!

I've just been reading a thread in AIBU about teachers and spelling/punctuation. I wonder if they drink pear cider/insert drink of choice here while marking.

I think if I was a teacher I would have pear cider on tap! I go into school for a couple of hours every week, to hear the children read, that's enough for me.

I'm going to an Ann Summers Party tonight which will be full of women in relationships and then just me who isn't. Started the wine already

Nervouse as I've never been too one

I went to one, years a go. Lot's of over priced lingerie and sex toys, daft games, wine and nibbles. You might get to go out for a drink afterwards, that wouldn't be so bad.

I went to one years ago, at my neighbour's. It was okay, we had drinks there and a good laugh/joke around.

:) yay for My nice dates!!!!!! Ive Bloody waited long enough, and dated enough bad ones though. Bout Time I at least had some good ones :)

It was text, text, text all afternoon, evenin, night :) all through his gig, then he called so I could hear them, told me id love it and we should go together. Then told me their next gig in that area is dec!!!! I don't quite know what to make of that ( any ideads??;;;?) So am taking it with a pinch of salt.

Anyway, its seeming easy, and nice. And 4th date is happening for sure. But then, well, what happens after that? Help!!!!

Sponge, the being around and being lovely is a good plan, for sure.

My friend has just dumped her cock of a 10 year boyfriend. Or two months ago she did, just telling everyone now. She sounds so much happier, she said she feels better than she has for years. I cheered, because he was awful to her.
I think the nature of this board lends itself to just bad things being osted, no one posts when thibgs are good, so it creats a one sided view. There are nice men about.

And im glowing after being called a ' sole bastion of awesomeness'

:)

And anyway, at what point do you have the exclusive talk? Or do you just not say anythihg and leave it be whatever it is?

A friend was dating someone and he didn't confirm they were a couple for 9 months, which seems a bit long to me.
But is a month, two months about right? Or, what happens really?

Not that I'm thinking that far ahead,or even know if that's what I want but I just have no clue what happens. Or what's meant to happen.

Ahem...watch after the 4th date comes the 5ft date

As for the talk, I've no idea, I'm way out of practice.

Or, say you get 8 dates in a decide its not right, do you have to dump them, even if its just dating?

Watch, he sounds lovely. I'm an (ex?) indie girl, and I love boys who play guitars/play in bands.

Sorry I haven't posted it for ages. I always read this thread but have nothing to report - no messages, no dates, no nothing! I'm still on Soulmates, but no luck there at all. Trying to decide whether to try Match/POF or just give up with online dating for a while.

Libby don't worry about having nothing to report. Time and I are on the settee right now and Snape may very well join us soon and we still post.

Me too Libby :) I.was in a band once myself, sort of pretending to be Louise Werner..... Haha.

Hes asked me to go see him play Friday. Im not sure I should go, all his friends/ rest of the band ( obviously) will be there. And that's a bit daunting.
But hes asked a few Times. I've said maybe, depending ob what Time my friend arrives from Surrey ( she's visiting for the weekend , and we are off to another gig and some horse racing) she's not actually coming till the Sat. So I.could go....
What do you all think?

I used to be in a band too, Watch! I miss those days.

As for Friday - if it was me, I'd go. Partly because I love gigs, partly because I'd love to see what he's like on stage, and also I'd be hugely flattered that he wanted me to meet his friends and the rest of the band. Having said that, I'd also be really nervous.

How do you feel? Do you want to go? If you'd prefer not to go, though, don't - it sounds like he does lots of gigs and there'll be lots more chances to see him when you feel more comfortable about the situation.

I was never in a band though in my uni days (early 90s) was very much a fan of guitar playing girl singers and wished I was more musical!

I agree totally with Libby re Friday, go if you feel comfortable, if not you have a perfect excuse (friend arriving) and can go to the next one in a couple of weeks instead. All good :)

Hello girlies. Hope you are all ok. Only dropped by to say hi! Been very busy and of course will keep popping back. But all is good
