Well purse my fanjo, giraffes in wheelchairs and submariners going dowwwnnnn - the dating thread hits 30!

[JulietteMontague]

Off we go...

snape LOL@70 year old! Sorry about the Prof, that's rubbish. But at least you've got fab company tonight.

What you lot are saying is so, so true, and I need to remind myself of it.

Got another message off ANOTHER younger bloke - "Wow ur cute". He lists his interests as "Activities". NSS.

My very very favourite old PoFer that I was just about to go out on a date with when I decided to come off the site because of LM has just messaged me . I have thought about him a couple of times but didn't get in touch being a loyal and honest kinda gal. But that hasn't really got me anywhere, has it?

All is still going well with ironman and I'm not going out with anyone else.
This evening I've had the third message on Match from a 57 year old without a photo he is old enough to be my father and he lives in the town where I work so he might know through my job

Just worked out the 29 year old is 12 years older than my daughter & 15 years younger than me. I'm demi Moore. This is terrible & boastful all at the same time.

snape ooh get you!

kirsty well done on the update, now carry on snogging!

oww good work for an evening! What are you going to do with all these offers?

nature are you still keeping that record up with ironman?

sponge what happened with LC and suggesting an activity?

I just got off the phone with mr funny (he has a phd but does stand up in his spare time), he sounded lovely, possibly too lovely! Or maybe it was nerves. Anyway, we chatted for just under an hour which is good. I'm just a little worried about the spark in person thing now. Wish it was saturday already!

snape that's an admirable age gap.

Go Snape!

Ooh Kirsty glad you're having a lovely evening.

Western his interests are activities

Hey yoga lulu and everyone else

questions what's the plan for Saturday? (apologies if you've already said and I've missed it.)

Snape I used to date a guy who was 14 years older than me and also 14 years younger than my mother

Ooh I forgot to ask (if he's still around?) bant weren't you meeting up with the artist again? Did you respond to surreygirl in the end?

Anyone else doing anything fun or otherwise? It's not easy keeping track!

Just to go really off topic, but have you noticed the Mumsnet ad at the right hand side of this page (when you're on the PC) that links through to a thread about runaways? If you post a question on the thread someone will donate £2 to Railway Children the charity for runaway children, and you can post up to three questions. It says the thread's closed but you can post additional questions and get donations up until this Sunday.

mac no I hadn't said as it's a bit cheesy but I think it's romantic! we've talked about ice skating, that's the plan. I'm the one who suggested it but he seemed taken by the idea too. drinks afterwards. Possibly food I guess.

Questions I haven't had a response from LC. I probably will at some point as he has excellent manners, but nothing yet. The delay leads me to suspect it will be a no, but given that OD in my experience is inhabited almost exclusively by liars, nutters and pervs, I'd rather wait and/or take my chances in RL.

snape the prof has pissed me off too, on your behalf.

western obviously he hasn't spent a second thinking about you, who was also effected by his possible problem. Sympathy is over.

I had second date with engineer. I've warmed to him as bit as he is very easy talk to but I don't really fancy him.

You know sponge, I'm starting to believe the same! I've not made it past 3 or 4 dates with anyone so far because at some point some sort of weirdness rears its head. Oh well. I hope you get a response soon.

Hello ... long time lurker here - all the way from Thread 1, so that really is a long time!

Mercury I have a question for you, if you don't mind. I'm a girl after your heart (well, a mid-40s girl ...) as I tend to prefer the honesty on the NSA sites, or even good old POF's IE option. That said, even in NSA I'm still a serial monogamist (not had a fuck and run either, I think because of the upfrontness of NSA) but I am beginning to think I need to have about 3 men on the go ... ahem . So my question for you is if you have several studs to call on - do they know about each other or do you make them think that each of them is the only one that does it for you? This might look like a stupid question but I'm such an open book I'd really struggle to lie convincingly if asked "so have you had any action since we last got it together?". Just wondering how you handle it - if relevant.

Thanks

B&A

Hello again all. Sounds like it's all go on the thread at the minute- sorry to all those having a bad time, and yay to all those having hot Coffee and lots of fun!

In my news, I had date number 2 with skyman, lovely time, no awkward silences. He had said he was going to be busy, heard from him to say goodnight and a couple of days later, then nada. Been 2 weeks, I've sent 2 texts with no reply, but he's still happily 'liking' my Facebook statuses! Peeved by this as, although it's only been 2 dates, we've known each other for 3 years, and been friendly all this time, so it seems very childish.

breakout that is very childish! It's been said before but it only takes one text and if he hasn't responded to yours in these past 2 weeks then I'd write him off tbh. Not much else you can do as frustrating as it is.

western on phone but have missed LM calling back or is he counting the hairs on his navel? How self centered.

evening/morning all,

yes questions I had a 2nd date with the Artist last night. All seems to be good, we're getting into each other and while she's more talkative than possibly anyone I've ever met ever (apart from Safrican) she's sweet and interesting and laughs at my jokes even when they're bad.

She is really kind of full-on, asked if I had a delay on receiving her text after I hadn't responded after 20 minutes - and it's pretty much a constant stream of texts so sometimes I'm away getting a coffee or something.

oh and she just texted me (while I'm writing here) and said she's glad my kids are so important to me and she wishes she had them. But she's 41 so she's going to want them pretty damn soon..

Do you mind the talking bant?

So difficult to keep up with this thread!

yoga fingers crossed.

bant I think the text comment would piss me off! You can be full-on with texting, DP and I are particularly bad, however we don't question response times!!

kirsty hope the rest of the date went well.

B&A no-one has ever outright asked me if I was involved with anyone else, I have a sort of 'dont ask dont tell' approach.

I get what you are saying about honesty, but really I think it's more a question of tact and diplomacy.
I dont want to know about any other women that they might be involved with (because then I'd just be wondering if he liked her more than me..) and by the same token I think it would be impolite to mention other lovers.

Well we left Glasgow about 2 hours ago and TheAuditor ran me home .. Spent the majority of that 2 hours 'heavy petting' I believe they used to fall it and so I've decided to have a sleepover on Tuesday night :-)

Call it not fall it!! This all happened in his car btw as I am still living with mum

KW go you!

Having a sleepover with Mr Fuck tonight

No word from my ex about the texting mishap best to let that particular sleeping dog lie.

bant Mr Fuck texts alot. I am not much off a texter as a rule...getting RSI.
