Evening all!!

Not liking the fish explanation got to be a better reason. I might email ten users with big fish just to ask.

Mr Knox is still going. Date Thursday included some snogging. And second base ;-)

4th date tomorrow evening. And arranging cinema for Friday night. Still not sure on the sex thing, maybe Friday. Maybe ill stick with acting like a teen a while longer.

I'd say the fish thing has to do with showing off being a hunter, a warrior Hmm and something to do with willies Wink

Yay fuzzy!

Evening all, checking in to the new thread Smile

With regards to "how many dinner dates can you go on?"

I have shared this before and resolved it with the help of the lovely people on this thread.

I dated (I use the term loosely) a lovely man for approximately 3 months. 3 months = 12 weeks. I saw him roughly twice a week, sometimes more. 12 x 2 = 24 dates. We would go for dinner, people watching, I met his friends, his parents knew about me. Reader, there was hugging and sleeping in the same bed. There was no kissing or PDAs thank God, hate PDAs

It got to the point where I regarded him as a friend and I didn't know what he wanted from me. Hmm although who buys their friend a £100 bottle of perfume for no reason and tells their parents about a "friend"

Dinner dates are good if you like company and food.

Dog you can block IE people from contacting you. Think it's under settings.

I've said this before on this thread, but although I can see the willie = sports car/ power tool/ baguette I am really not sure that a fish cuts it as a phallic symbol. Fish, well, they always struck me as a bit feminine. Yes, they're powerful but they're sinuous, sleek, mysterious, unknown and misunderstood. And a large percentage of the population thinks they don't feel pain ... I rest my case m'lud.

Western Grin I like that fish explaination.

I don't get the car photo.

Well I do. It's a status symbol "look at my shiny metal box on wheels investment, I can provide for you.

I couldn't give a shit about your car. A photo of your face would be nice.

Evening. Just had goats cheese, chips and mushroom in a pub. Home early.

So, bodybuilder was.....very good company. Don't fancy him at all. Although pretty flash he was in fact very good humoured, intelligent and thoughtful.
Half way through the date he asked me if I thought his shirt was too big. I said I couldn't tell to which he replied 'hang on...let me give you a twirl!.....

snape Id love a night out drinking, music and fun. My friends all want to eat and chat. All the time. I've got limited opportunity for pure fun.

I think it's more about the effort as in having patience etc. which makes fishing such an achievement and you also can eat it, so possibly having to do with this provider stuff, and it has to do with outdoor stuff and all that.

I have been around the world quite a bit, and I swear no matter where I was, regardless of nationality, culture, religion, age you name it ALL MEN seemed to like to barbecue, so what's all that about???

Dog they're getting desperate coming up to Christmas. Don't want to spend the festive season alone with only a cock on hand to provide festive cheer Have heard it's s strange night from my cousin in Wales who's on PoF too!

The food thing is from a couple of threads ago when someone suggested that any man, anywhere, will talk on the subject of what have you had/are having fit breakfast/dinner/tea or lunch/dinner depending on whereabouts in the uk you come from. It leads to some nice,cosy,domestic chat. I love it!!

Antonym where are you? Im standing by my front door withy bags packed ...
