Success, standards and still holding out for Johnny Depp...dating thread 18

[ChaoticismyLife]

Forget the olympics...we're aiming for dating gold.

Only the best is good enough.

As you were....:)

Wow - really surprised I don't have a hangover this morning!

I wasn't drunk when we met - I just got that way through the course of the night

Really nice night though - can't stop thinking about him. I really wish I wasn't falling for him in this way so quickly though, it can't be healthy.

We're going to meet up for date 3 sometime during next week :)

Well, it looks like my date today is happening. We're meeting at a nice pub for drinks this afternoon. I have to admit I'm not really in the mood for it but will go anyway. I really hope I fancy him - I'm getting quite depressed about going on dates where there's just no attraction or spark.

Peppa and MrsTodd, great to hear you've both met men you like - it gives me hope!

Anyone else got a date today?

Nope, no date today. Seems a few,of us have third dates next week. :)

I have a hen do to go to and its themed. Naughty school girls so gonna try digging out my school skirt or where can I buy one?

I really wish I wasn't falling for him in this way so quickly though, it can't be healthy.

I know what you mean. :)

And maybe you were not so drunk after all.
Just lovey dopey. :)

Tomorrow will be make or break for Mr VN. It's my birthday, so let's see if he remembers it.

I haven't even revealed my birth date lol. I plan on celebrating quietly.I just went to see my friend who fell asleep for the last time 15 years ago. A good cry whilst little man slept. His birthday is coming up.

No dates here. Not even a first one. Goes without saying no second or thirds dates

Hate did you read my post, your quote is from the Rick Astley song Never going to Let you go. don't know if this nakes it better or worse...

Never going to give you up, that should read.

Do you feel guilty about dating more than one person?

Well, I'm back from my date, and I think it's a case of "be careful what you wish for"!

He was attractive and I did fancy him, which is great! But on the downside, I'm pretty sure he didn't fancy me. We had a couple of drinks and shook hands when we said goodbye - not even a kiss on the cheek. No talk of meeting up again. I think he's just too good for me, sadly. Maybe I'll hear from him again, but I'd be surprised if another date happens. Still, at least it's proved that it's possible for me to meet someone I find attractive!

MLM- I can't really answer your question as I'd be delighted to get the chance to date one person, never mind more than one!

But ... basically, if I was just meeting up with men for drinks, etc, and getting to know them, I wouldn't feel guilty at all. But once things turned physical, I wouldn't want to see more than one person. That's just me, though. Why, are you dating more than one person?

libby me too :)

but at least you've now met someone you fancy which is good. He may have felt similarly - some men just play their cards close to their chest on first date. and if he didn't hopefully there will be a mutual attraction with the next one and you won't end up like me, where in spite of that men never want to see me more than once

parsley are you sure re the song, i googled the lyrics and it didn't come up?

I haven't replied to him yet anyway, because even if I manage a first date its fairly certain there wont be more than 1, there never is!

Sponge, I'm trying to put off looking at solicitors forms (am in the process of buying a house) and have been googling that message you got, and nothing's coming up, whether by Rick Astley or anyone else.

I have to admit a cryptic message like that would put me off, but if he looks promising apart from that, it might be worth giving him the benefit of the doubt. Have you replied to him?

I googled it through Yahoo, and it came up with it Hate.

Wouldn't like you to think I was a Rick Astley fan...

hi all hope i can join in here had my first online date today which was a bit of a none starter and im wondering if this has happened to any of you??

after chatting for about two weeks i agreed to meet a guy off pof at a local pub ,we arranged to meet before a week or so ago but i didnt feel completely comfortable to i put him off.
cue him texting/calling/messaging quite a bit ,saying he wants to meet so i give him benefit of the doubt and off i go this aft.

anyway i have trouble finding the place so i ring him and of course he gives me directions ,i eventually get there i get a text saying im in the toilets ???

so im at the bar theres only two guys in there ,no one in toilets i wait for about 30 seconds realise its all a set up go home and think wtaf???

i tried ringing switched off obvs ,if this is a set up to get women to meet him chances are somethings not quite right should i report him to pof??

I got asked out twice today. In real life one of them lives in the same road as me and one I was giving directions and cos it was in the sane direction I was going we walked together chatting and then I pointed the place out, but I have date 3 this week hopefully. All too much. My make up was pretty non existent cos I had cried continuously a little at my friends grave cos I miss him and need him

kate that seems very weird to me to be honest. Strange.

i thought so too mlm :(
weirder still he told me he was already there at the pub but when i called asking for directions there was no noise in background and on a previous chat he asked for my home phone number

kate does he know where you live? I would drop him, and don't indicate when you are away from home if he does...

How do you know there was nobody in the toilets?

parsley no he doesnt ,but you have touched upon a thought i had that that maybe he would get me there to follow me home ?
also the guys name was stu and when i got to the pub car park there was a silver corsa with a private plate with stu on it?!
coincidence do you think..
either way im not half freaked out.

sh i asked the barmaid plus i did wait a couple of minutes

He may just have wanted to get a look at you, this has happened a few times lately upthread, where the men have scarperd (sp). Whatever, it is not good, and you need to not engage any more, and run for the hills. Don't waste energy trying to work out his motivations. He's as oxygen thief, and better you know now.

If he did want to 'check you out' first, and who knows with a twunt, it seems to be becoming more mainstream...in traditional dating, you've got over that part already. Doesn't mean its acceptable, tis appaling behaviour. Some fat balding middle-aged men all want blonde supermodels 20 yrs their junior, and even say so on their profiles. Completely deluded. That's why I haven't done it yet, haven't got the stomach for it. I'm sure you are lovely btw.
