Ginny pigs prove the options are of limited quality - Dating thread 28

[lubeybooby]

New one - chit chat all dating stuff here.

Off you go! :o

Mac I think the fact that he's being a bit "so so" at this stage is probably not a great sign.

Mac - ok, he wants to see you again, you want to see him again. If your concern is that you can't read him, that's not a bad thing, surely? I think half of the fun is the mystery of working out new people

bantam that's a valid point. It's not always such a good thing to be able to tell when someone you barely know is lying to you..

But yoga I understand your point too!

Hmmm. I'll text him I think. Nothing to lose I guess.

Mac let us choose the wording. Pleeeeease :)

I suppose so...

I was thinking

"Hey, yeah it was good talking to you too - a bit cheeky as you would say! :P hope you enjoyed yourself x"

that has a certain finality to it I think - 'hope you enjoyed yourself' in response implies 'cos you're not going to get any more'. If you can tag a question on the end then it keeps it open to him responding and asking to do it again.

Oh crap, I liked it so I sent it I figured it was good because he'd said that he hoped I enjoyed it. Like mirroring body language.

Bollocks.

Doesn't matter, you've sent it now so now point worrying. Just wait and see what happens.

Ooh hello, we've got a reply.

the suggestion of dinner in the week is good yes?

well that depends if you like eating. Do you?

after a first date, assuming I liked the bloke I usually text something like 'really enjoyed chatting with you, would love to get together again if you're up for it'

Then the ball is in his court and I leave it there, if he doesnt pick it up and run with it I'll just file him in the 'water under the bridge' section :o

bantam - does a duck like water?! Food is very important to me.

Good strategy mercury

mac I think thats great!

Unless you're me of course with my weird phobia about eating in front of men I'm interested in...

I used to be a little about eating in front of people I don't know. Then I started dating. Lunch dates are a big thing ar

around here.

I've just name changed. I had changed it quickly recently to get my profile checked out and will make this my dating name until I have to do it again due to some sort of indiscretion.

This has to be a sort of super Sunday for dating. Pleased for all of you who got it going on today

Welcome back Juliette!!

Hi Juliette. Are you new to the thread or do you know everything there is going on?

Yes, Super sunday indeed. Mostly london based, but with Cambridge men involved too. Not a bad day really

Back again! Lots of positive woo tonight!

I would just like to share this POF message, from someone I quite liked the look of. This is just a tiny snippet, - a response to my profile saying I'd like to meet someone who can remind me life is supposed to be fun

'That is when to have someone you trust (and that you feel is your truly best friend) by your side get into the game lightening up the situation and showing that you are just about to open a new chapter...as a Chinese saying goes "to cure your bones you need to cut your skin"...if this make sense to you. To me it does. A lot.'

So the question is: am I just to shallow to understand something too deep or is he just completely bonkers?

To me it sounds like he may want to kill you and eat you. You don't need to cut skin to cure bones. That's what plaster casts are for.

Sounds like this guy has no medical training at all. And he's possibly on some kind of drugs.

Bonkers. Absolutely. Unless it has some deep symbolic meaning

Phew! It's not just being thick then!

He goes on and on about Billie Holiday's Gloomy Monday and offers to explain why it's known as the suicide song. And ths is to show me he can bring fun into my life!!

I probably should just ignore, but if any of you has a suitable response ...

Tell him you like ernie's when you're in a philosophical mood

Secret bonkers indeed!

It's also been a Super Sunday in the west country too (and there was no scrumoy involved!)

Strictly is that a euphemism I see?
