Bizarroville!! PoshBoys, Muppets, Surgeons, nurses, coffee addicts and RL - dating thread 27!

[lubeybooby]

Roll up roll up get yer dating chat here... all kinds of dating...

Online, RL, established, new, join in and blether away!

So yesterday I received a message on OkC "hi, your cute,..... I have a bi female friend & we wondered if youd be interested maybe in joining us sometime ;)
im , shes 42 athletic bod too.."

and yet I never get cockshots. bum.

kirsty. I like the sound of your stbx mil. I call my exes parents the 'out-laws' they have been absolutely lovely to me and the kids (even when lying ex told them I'd had an affair (didn't!) & neglected to tell them that he'd be caught out shagging around) I don't have my own parents and if I could choose I'd absolutely pick them. They're lovely, lovely people. :)

Purple shorts + fabulous long legs sounds like a winning combo to me Snape

Snape, I was looking at shorts in New Look yesterday, reminiscing about the pair of black velvet shorts I had back in the late 80s/early 90s (not sure when). If I still had the legs for them (even in 4" heels my legs aren't like mac's ), and the occasion to wear them, I'd definitely be in them! Is it date with Sirius Black today?

Kirsty, STBXMIL sounds fab. My ex's Dad is a lovely man, always phones for a chat still. I think he'd be thrilled for me if I met someone nice (is fully aware of what his son's like).

Shuck, I've never had a cockshot. I'm hoping it stays that way.

Bant, sign me up for your site, too, please. I think you'll need to advertise elsewhere, though, or we're going to be a bit short of men... Have a lovely time with Surrey girl - I'm hoping for lots of spark, I just love it when love overcomes obstacles like distance .

Morning all.

sponge nicely handled - you rock!

snape purple velvet shorts?
Have fun with Sirius whatever you decide to wear.

Kirsty Oh man, I can't believe you emailed your X-MIL! LOL, glad she seemed to have a good sense of humour about it. Engineer originally suggested meeting at someplace very local (cause he lives near meee - woo hoo!) and pointed out it might be a wee bitty uncomfortable as high liklihood of bumping into X-MIL there (mine, not Kirsty's). What kind of a questionnaire did the Auditor send you? Was he serious or was it a bit tongue in cheek?

Wolf deep, deep groan at not-so-modern man. I actually think that's more offensive than a cock-shot!

Bantam love the ethical dating idea!! Let's start writing a marketing campaign - "Tired of cock-shots, fuckmuppets & disappearers? Can you string a sentence together without using the word hun, sexi, speshul or ginny pig? Do you want the worlds UKs Englands Cambridge's leading expert on profile tweaking to create a lovely, smart, no-fuckmuppet guaranteed profile for you?" Have fun on your date today. Or don't. Whichever outcome you're hoping for.

And hi to everyone else I've missed.

Just catching up with the thread, as been busy spending most of the weekend with BF who I seem to be in a proper relationship with now.

Sponge bit of a roller coaster ride through this thread, nice venting , hope you're ok this morning.

bantam have fun with SurreyGirl, although you have slipped in my estimation with your West Country comments

snape hoping you have a fab date today

western virtual hug, anxious times.

watch good luck with the house viewing later.

Hope I've not missed anyone out!

Been seeing my BF for 10 weeks now, previously a friend. So didn't go through the awkward getting-to-know you stage as we already did. This has been the first weekend we've spent together, due to DC and it's been lovely and easy. Only downside is an early wake on a Sunday for him to do his sport!

Nevermind, forget POF & OKC and ETHICAL DATING.COM, I have found the solution to all our problems!!!

ROBOTSEX

yoga here is the questionnaire

As iam looking for someone with similar hobbies and interests sooo the first challenge is to answer the following:

Can you run a 10K ?
Could you complete a body attack class?
Can you play tennis?
Do you like sunshine holidays or activity holidays?
What kind of music do you like?
How much time do you spend in a week on the sofa in front of the TV?
How many concerts or theatre shows have you been to this year?
What makes you laugh and how do you have fun?
Whats your favourite movie?

What type of Guy are you looking for??

Cant wait to hear your answers as our profiles are very similar.

TheAuditor x

Pfffft. Just looked through Sirius' responses to questions on OKC and he's another one who won't date someone with kids. I've changed my 'kids-bit' from blank to 'has kids' so expecting overwhelming amount of responses to dry up immediately.

Still going up to town, doubt he'll turn up. If not I shall buy myself a cake and go to the art store for supplies.

Snape, I have a purple velvet track suit bought it when I was heavily pregnant with DD2! Only ever wear it when I am a) seriously hungover and don't care about the world or b) the other night to amuse myself at NL's expression when i sauntered out of the bathroom in my new 'winter lingerie'

Aren't your kids older anyways? I always think when people say no kids they mean young ones. Anyways if he still turns up hope you have fun.

Morning everyone else

LOL Kirsty - what did you score out of 10? If someone asked me if I could play tennis, do you think "yes but my 9 year old regularly beats me 6-1, 6-1" would that impress?

Snape - oh well, good luck today. Hope he shows.

Oh, Kirsty, I couldn't be doing with that! Partly because I'm really not sporty, but mostly because that has an undercurrent of 'only my chosen activities are worthwhile, and you are only worthwhile if you agree with me'. I know I'm being overly judgmental here, but a message like that would have me running for the hills. I also find that I get on better with people who have different likes to me, so that probably affects how I view that questionnaire.

Yoga, how do you find these things? Just what do you type into google??!! They're talking about a modern-day orgasmatron aren't they?

Well that's why I didn't mention them, they're 13, 14 & 17... Not as if they're that dependent on me other than getting lifts and eating me out of house and home.... They don't really impact on how often I can get out on dates etc... But some people might have a bit of a ...complex (?) about women who are mothers, for a variety of reasons... Which is sad, but there you go. If he does think that, clearly not for me...despite the tattoos, love of Shakespeare, intelligent reading list and love of Harry potter. .

kirsty'i'm a bit about answering questions to his satisfaction!

He's an auditor - they like to tick boxes! And each satisfactory answer earns a tick! Hopefully the fit-factor is worth it!

snape hope Sirius shows.

fayster I have to admit to googling the stormtrooper one last night but this one just came up on a FB news feed I follow!

You know, despite being a very, very smart man, XH is really fucking stupid. I have told him that I find him bullying, manipulative, abusive, untrustworthy and generally unpleasant to be around. I have told him I will no longer engage in conversations about anything other than what time the kids are getting dropped off or picked up. But because I was too ill to get out of bed on Friday (honestly, floored, couldn't move without thinking i was going to puke) and begged him to have one of his staff deliver some medicine to me, he now thinks I might like to come in for a coffee when I drop DS off this morning. Moron.

snape fingers crossed

I hope he shows too Snape. Wear the shorts.

Kirsty, I agree with the 'only my chosen activities will count' theory. Im assuming activity holidays, 10k runs and tennis are correct; and watching TV might not be?

The not meeting theory continues. Man was messaging me over summer. Went off radar. He contacted me again yesterday morning. So I asked him this morning if he wanted to meet (given he contacted me). His response: if we do,where? If we do, what to do? Do you really want to?
I responded 'why wouldn't I?'.
He responded 'i thought you were looking for conversation'
Seeee!!!! Another one who doesn't actually want to meet.

i think robot sex sounds like the best solution for me..only 30 odd years to wait!

Fayster and Scatty spot on about that questionnaire I reckon. I wouldn't quite say red flag, but the flag holder is looking a bit twitchy and on edge...

Yoga, urgh re: xh!

Snape good luck :o and isn't it a bit daft of someone doing online dating, who presumably is around your age, to only want to date women who don't have kids? Surely he's ruling out the vast majority of women there. I've seen younger men (early 20's) say that, and that's a bit more understandable and realistic that they would find someone without kids. So presuming Sirius isn't in his 20's, I think he is BU Oh and i would also be inclined to think maybe anyone in their 30's or 40's who says that maybe means very little ones as well, as Fate said.

Sponge how are you?

Bantam good luck today, have you found something to wear yet? :o

MadameO having looked back over the thread, picking up on your post from Friday afternoon about the R being strangely calm and stress-free. For me, yes exactly the same! Am almost freaked out by it being so easy! How long have you been with your DP now?

Nice white shirt over black tshirt, somewhat faded black jeans. Long black business type coat, black and white skater shoes. I look like a penguin.

On train now, bloody engineering works so have had to push the date (not a date. Not. a. date. Just friends meeting for coffee.) back by half an hour.

Kirsty the list thing is fine as a bit of an ice-breaker but if he's really expecting lots of box-ticking I'd be put off very quickly!

Ooh Bantam I have butterflies for you.

Scatty Dont get it.

morning everyone!

I have had nearly 10 hours sleep and feel brilliant. See, clearly all I needed was a bit of verbal sparring Actually I'm at my best when under attack....

Anyway:

Bantam and Snape good luck on your dates, I hope they both go fabulously well. Here in SE London the sun is shining which I always think is a good sign so fingers crossed. And Snape I hope you are wearing the purple shorts, if I had your legs I'd wear shorts all the time!

Watch is it house viewing today? Fingers crossed it's a good one :)

Pixie date with history teacher sounds lovely - is he different to your usual type? I know I have a tendency to date complete tossers, and used to still do run a mile from a 'nice' bloke....if you like him even a bit and enjoy his company its worth seeing him again UNLESS you really think theres no spark and unlikely to be one, in which case maybe cut him loose....

Yoga your Ex truly is a moron! Are you feeling better now btw?

Rosemary thank you for your post and for delurking- I think you have to stay now too :) A lot of what you say resonates with me, I do have a tendency to rescue people (I've never had a relationship, barring my first-ever one, with someone who didn't need my help in some way).

Bantam you know it's a date.... I hope you've asked her to look out for the penguin

And sponge glad you're feeling brilliant this morning

Sponge lovely to see you with :o and :) in your posts again!

Bantam it so is a date :o have a great time!

Oh god have I started over using !!!!'s ?
