New thread time! Great timing with it being new years day...

Most of you know what to do... off you go!

Just in case you don't... just chit chat all your dating related stuff here. If you are new, just jump right in to the blethering. More the merrier!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! :o

Bant c'mon now The Artist squeezed your lemons so hard there was no juice left for Shark Girl......

I nearly always shag on the first date/meeting in RL. Always make it clear that I am choosing to shag them. If I never see them again because of my choices they are not for me.
I live by my own rules. They have so far never let me down Smile

OD I find more tricky. Still avoided being fucked over. Was bloody hard work though.

I am sticking to RL.

Scrazy · 06/01/2013 17:44

Do men ever run out of juice? Grin

ike1 · 06/01/2013 17:46

Mr Natural told me that the last woman he had success with on line made it clear to him that they would be shagging later in the date and they hadnt even met!!! Make of that what you will! He of course obliged and was her willing booty all for a while...

ike1 · 06/01/2013 17:47

Dunno Scrazy ...ask the 3 B's ....Bant professed to be 'tired'....

ike1 · 06/01/2013 17:48

Hence the convo about girths and 'sexual technics'.....

Bant · 06/01/2013 17:49

thanks ike - my lemons are quite good at recuperating.

I just knew in that case I didn't want to make the phone call the next day saying I wasn't going to see her again even though the sex was nice. Just too much hassle and pain. I'm not a dog, I don't need to f*ck anything that moves, I'd really rather not bother if someone is going to get hurt. I'd just hurt someone badly and didn't really want to be doing it again.

48howdidthathappen · 06/01/2013 17:51

Just like to add. I rarely meet anyone I want to shag Grin

ike1 · 06/01/2013 17:52

Yeah that's it Bant...see I am not good at one nighters ...sex is emotional to me and I just hate the idea of opening myself up physically and emotionally to someone I will never see again....

ike1 · 06/01/2013 17:53

....oh and Bant glad to hear about your fast recuperating lemons....see thats the ol' Bant Magic!!!

MsArsebiscuit · 06/01/2013 17:56

I've never had a ONS, I feel a bit left out now.

VelvetSpoon · 06/01/2013 17:56

So...new thread title, any ideas?

I am conscious we're only 60 or so messages away from the end of this one, so may well get there today :)

VelvetSpoon · 06/01/2013 17:58

MsA I've had quite a few (because men never want to see me more than once....I wouldn't have had sex at all in the last 4 years otherwise) you haven't missed anything.

mercury7 · 06/01/2013 17:58

ok Scrazy I'm with you:)

I make it clear that I'm looking for an 'arrangement for sex' rather than a relationship, but I also rarely meet anyone from OD that I find attractive enough to want to sleep with

ike1 · 06/01/2013 17:59

Eh???? really???Is it that time again??? Oh Arse I'll give you my experience ....happy to be rid of the excrutiating memory....

lubeybooby · 06/01/2013 17:59

I dunno but can we not have loads of different things in it, they get too long, abstract and annoying for other posters on MN. It also makes is look a bit cliquey.

I tend to not shag until around the 4th-ish date because I hate having the STD conversation. Very few people in real life know about the affliction genital herpes and I don't like it to be common knowledge (ignores the fact the entire Internet knows) one of those is my dead-good-Bessie-gay-chum, so I wouldn't be shagging him anyway and the others voldemort... and I wouldn't be shagging him anyway oh yes. And the ex-who-gave-me-herpes-and-I-wouldn't-be-shagging-him-either.... and the couple of blokes I've fucked in the last three years. And the ex-after-the-ex.

I might as well just get cards printed up and hand them out on the train.

I'd rather have amazing sex on the fourth date, having of to know someone a bit, than a wine fuelled mediocre 1st go with someone I'm not necessarily connected with (no judgement as always, just works for me in context of health)

lubeybooby · 06/01/2013 18:00

I like the suggestion for 'Iron clad knickers' to be in it though :o

OP posts:
ike1 · 06/01/2013 18:00

....well what do you make of that then? Asking him for sex even though they hadnt met??? I reckon he was having me on!

mercury7 · 06/01/2013 18:03

Ike it's not that uncommon if you use 'casual' or hook up sites to agree to sex before actually meeting someone

VelvetSpoon · 06/01/2013 18:04

Lubey i think the idea of keeping title short is a good one.

I've never had a 4th date, not even with the ones I didn't sleep with :(

ike1 · 06/01/2013 18:04

4th date ...then ride em like a rodeo steed ...you know it!!!

ike1 · 06/01/2013 18:05

Really merc..blimey what if you dont fancy them??/

ike1 · 06/01/2013 18:08

ooooh i dont think I will be meeting Mr Natural...I think he might try and persuade me into something I dont want..see iron clad nick nacks the key is being turned on the lock as we speak. (assumes prim mouth)

Bant · 06/01/2013 18:09

Let's just keep the title simple - 'The dating thread part 483' or whatever it is now. I think with so many in-jokes it does make people apologetic when they first post, which you don't get on other threads, I think. This is about everyones experiences, doubts, worries, successes and failures. In jokes tend to make people reluctant to join, I think - no one wants to be the one who doesn't get the joke everyone else is laughing at.
