Dating, Loitering and Sofa Surfing, It's All Happening! Dating Thread 16.

[TimeForMeAndDD]

In continuation from previous thread:

Watch do not talk exclusivity until you have assessed the contents of his trouser department after the 5th date. Only after you have assessed the contents of his trouser department the 5th date do you decide whether or not the willy he is worth the commitment.

And yes, of course you go on Friday!! What on earth are you thinking woman! Today you were the BOSS of a coconut shy, a few of his friends will be nothing compared to that!

I've got to go make coffee, I've just watch Paying it Forward and I am in bits! BITS!

Oh, I wouldn't dream of it! Sex needs to happen first. I just have no clue about when you are ' dating' and what happens from then on. No clue. LOL

Id Like to go Friday. I'm not nervous about friends and stuff, and id like to see him play. But isn't it a bit ' girlfriendly' you know?

He just called too :)

I think you are his girlfriend. He will have your name tattooed on his forearm before the week is out!

As for what happens, just go with it, he seems pretty good at this stuff, he knows what he's doing, tis lovely!!! I am sure he will let you know what happens next

I'm a little bit jealous.

Hello :)

I am also rather novice like at this dating thing but seem to be lucky that it is still working nicely :) am very pleased your date was v good watch. Am trying to remember what date it was where Mr Nice and I became exclusive (ie he told a breakdown person I was his girlfriend ). Was after about 3 weeks or so I think.

Am back down South again to do marking - have to get up at some hideous hour tomorrow to get there on time as need to drive to a different station due to engineering works at this one. Had nice evening night and most of day last night and today :) And got a present of some new earphones frim Mr Nice which was especially sweet as had commented on useless ones on twitter which he noticed and then presented me with some purple ones (my favourite colour) last night :)

Am still going round generally with daft grin on my face but so is he so that is ok

So much lurve in the air!

Purple is my favourite colour too!!

I think if you're happy to go, then go :) It is perhaps a bit girlfriendy, but then as he suggested it, that seems to show - as Time says - you are his girlfriend.

I'm a bit jealous too :)

Sadly there is no lurve in the air here... I am currently referreeing a spat between the DSs and feeling disappointed cos the lovely Tyler didnt win the Voice. And just remembered am at a Jubilee party tomorrow where i will as always be the only single one. But a party's a party I suppose :)

I think Mr Lovely is just lovely! He is doing all the right things, he is actually dating you Watch, he is building a relationship with you rather than just trying to get you into bed. He is talking December!! This could be a keeper.

Yes Sponge a party is a party and you just never know, there may be a single man there too!

Hmm...hello....don't really know what I'm doing her....have lurked intermittently, but feeling lonely tonight...thinking about actively looking for some male company....don't know where to start....did register for JUSTSINGLEPARENTS but even without a profile (only registered my age, sex and email addy so I could browse) I've jade about 40-50 messages in the last 2 weeks which makes me

Sadly I know all the men going. And their wives. So I can say for certain there won't be any single ones! But never mind, I will drink lots and pretend to be having a great time. It will be ok...

No. There is no girlfriend being happening right now! Dont scare me, I'm.still a bit blindsided by it. You know, the fact ive gone past one date, and have met Someone I like, who appears to like me. Like, thats amazing and shocking in its self!!!!!

Miranda, thats nice of him :) sounds like It's going fab.. :) I think 3- 4 weeks is prob about right really.

Networking Sponge, that's what we need. People to introduce us to other single people/men. We should get some business cards made up

Hi Haunted, is that dating site a free one? Sounds like there are a lot of men waiting to pounce

at business cards. I don't think I know anyone who has any single male friends though. Round here it's like the surburban equivalent of Noahs Ark, everyone is in pairs!

Watch you are a girl and you are his friend, therefore you are his girlfriend. It's just a word, don't be scared

I would suggest you stop over thinking and just go with it, you are enjoying it, you are having a lovely time so just carry on doing more of the same. Putting things in boxes, i.e. the 3-4 weeks being about right, why? What happens after 3-4 weeks that is any different to what may happen after 2? Just chill, no pressures, no expectations, just a lovely time letting things unfold as and when. Much less stressful

at Noah's Ark!

I haven't paid anything yet. You have to pay to send messages etc.

It just creeps me out that there are so many which a messenging me without seeing a profile pic nada...I can't see what they say in their messages unless I pay...and from what I see on 90% of the profiles I'm not planning to...although Baz that lives 12 miles from me.might be worth a punt ...

Seriously tho I dunno what to expect. I worry that a dating site targetted at single parents exposes vulnerabilities. There are quite a lot of more mature folks on there too...but at least there is no issue with ex's being a barrier.

I kind of think I wouldn't mind trying a singles night somewhere...anyone done this?

Have you tried POF Haunted? As in Plenty Of Fish. It's a free site, lot's of dross but you might be lucky and hit upon a decent one.

I've not been to a singles night but if one came up around here I would go.

Haven't tried anything seriously.

I had heard POF was to be avoided cos it is free? But maybe I can practise and get a feel for the ettiquette etc. For free and then move on to something like GSM when I've had lots of one night stands and I'm looking for something more serious?

I think POF is a good free site to begin with, that and OK Cupid. POF seems to bring up more messages. You can search GSM to get an idea of the men in your area so you don't go forking out money for nothing.

You haven't been initiated until you have tried POF

Don't like the tone of that last sentence...feeling scared...

Be afraid, be very afraid of the cock pics

Haunted, pof is ok, their are weird men on all sites, paying or not. It's a bit of a myth that the men are better/ more serious/ less likely to just be out for a shag on paid sites.
Just jump in, ask us if you aren't sure, snd if you have lurked you will have picked up some tips. Go for it :)

Time, I am enjoying it, It's very nice :)
And clearly whatever it is, will happen, or not happen at its own pace. But having created my own, nice, safe world, where I'm in total control, and know the perimeters of stuff and things, I get a bit, hmmm, I dont know the word, not angsty. Not that bad, but I feel like I need some kind of guide, so I know what I'm working with, within that. Obviously that is ridiclous!!!!!!!! :) I know that.
But still..... You know.
And what's really nice is Its all coming from him, ie, hes texting or calling me, he's the one making plans, thinking of stuff to do etc....
:)

I get you Watch I guess it's a bit unnerving when you meet someone who treats you better than you have been treated, I guess it's knowing when to let your guard down too, this is a completely different. It's exciting and scary at the same time. But of course, I am only guessing here, not having experienced it

Seems like everyone is doing really well.

watch go and enjoy. He wants to show you off which is a good thing.

sponge kids will be kids but being in the middle can't be fun. And I hate being the only single one!,

haunted oasis is also good but I started on okcupid, then POF then oasis.

Life is going well. I am enjoying the here and now. Love you guys. You give me a kick up the arse when I am feeling sorry for myself.

Time naughty...stop scaring poor Haunted

Haunted welcome :)

watch you don't have to give it a name. Just enjoy it.

sponge enjoy your party.
