Hey, it's the Dating thread... number 37

[lubeybooby]

Of we got - all dating chit chat here!

and hi Mama :o

mama - unless new guys are continually joining up in your area, a time must come when all the guys within X miles and who are looking for women aged between Y and Z have seen your profile. I believe it's fairly standard that when a woman joins a site, she is often deluged due to the 'fresh meat' scenario. It will then trickle off to some degree.

HiMama Cam time = web cam. You were wise to decline!

Good morning dudettes, nothing to report here ...

....oh and dudes

Nothing to report here either

Apart from that my toast is nice. And so is my cuppa

Mama I would imagine it's something like mercury said, you were possible in a little featured section or something. I have never lasted more than a day on Match though so no idea (the site is just so cluttered and weird)

Just had a catch up.

Yoga, I agree with the others, don't ring him. If he really wanted to talk to you he would have rang you. I would delete him off face book too. See if he rings you and then keep the convo brief if it's just small talk leading up to wanting to see you.

4 weeks NC for me too, this is the longest we have left it. It's bloody hard sometimes but I've decided that unless he begs for forgiveness and promises me things will change I never want anything more to do with him. Fortunately, he doesn't do face book etc. He is googlable but only for business purposes.

I very rarely cook for a man, except a big breakfast if he's deserved it stayed at mine. I let them cook for me though but it's dinner out if it's in my town.

Velvet, where did you meet this young man? Well done on knowing that it's not right for you.

I'm not on Match so don't know how it works but I know that a new profile on POF attracts a lot of attention initially then it peters off.

OWW Hope you have a lovely lunch today and even better Lunch

48 thanks! It's not till tomorrow - wish it was today as I am doing actual proper work in the office and on site and not having a good time of it. Fed up with my job but it's not the end of the world - I've got something to look forward to tomorrow, friends coming over for wine on Saturday . . . Life's not bad at all.

Oops! Thought it was today.

I can't wait for the spring to arrive to get out more. Going out on the razz on the 2nd of Feb. Seems such along time since I have had a girls night out.

Oh my god I am the worlds biggest idiot.

Not really worth a thread of it's own but does anyone know if you can get an unused phone top up voucher refunded?

DD is on O2 but I got a bloody vodafone one brain fart as she used to be with vodafone. gahhhh

Re the cooking thing...although I tend not to bother for myself, I like to cook for other adults makes a nice change to eat communally with people who are fairly appreciate of effort (ie not kids)

Yes, I like to cook for people too Ike. It's lovely to share food with someone who isn't moaning about how they don't like carrots this week or that they want pizza and not pasta, or whatever. I cook for my mum sometimes but she is very picky and faddy and isn't fun to cook for. I like people to cook for me, too - LM keeps saying he is going to but has a bit of a block about veggie food . Haven't cooked for him before and I don't want to go OTT with it, but it will be nice to have a meal that's not in a restaurant, which we've done plenty of. Well, I have made him breakfast in bed, and he has for me, but we're both toast people so it's not really cooking.

Yep bloody picky eaters!! I am veggie too...bless him he just needs nudging in the right way lol. Am filling out the form for volunteering as an usher at my local indie cinema, I also voluteer for another org re welfare advice too. Going to see a Bowie tribute band on Fri any excuse to get dressed up in 'satin n' tat' toying with the pirate patch look...might find my own Mr R&R who knows....I'll just about do anything to 'get out there' in RL at mo ...

...anything to stave off those 'blues' cant help but feel the ol' 'I am soooo alone in the world' feeling....not a good mindset.

ike more like anything to avoid doing your research ???

I have a date in an hour.
Im covered in icing sugar and glitter and am not quite sure where the place is we are meant to be meeting.. . !!!!

Ha ha no Kist...gonna go into col on a moday to do that...should be when most of my mates will be there can catch up on the goss at lunchtime too...well thats the plan ..lol. Good luck with the date Watch...he might want to lick you allover tho...be prepared!

Soz Kirst...

Good luck watch!

Take it from one that knows Ike there isn't much worse out there than a Rock & Roll gig. But it still beats OD.

Hope this one turns out to be a good un watch

Good luck Watch!

Bah. Been lurking for ages. I'm on OKC. 2 weeks NC with crazy narcissistic 'artist' ex who was incredibly sexy but otherwise an utter, demanding nightmare. Possibly too soon to date. Dunno.

May I ask others... do you find you frequently attract 'polyamorous' types on OKC? Many seem nice and interesting but reference their other half (also on OKC, usually) and how wonderful she is- it seems like quite a few couples doing a bit of narcissistic experimentation. Don't really like it. And not up for threesomes either, been there done that...headfuck.

I've messaged only one guy who is coming across terribly, terribly serious. Bit too serious, no humour. I cried off last date with him because my face was literally EXPLODING with acne. Told him the truth and that I couldn't face a first date when feeling utterly hideous (I really was!! it was ghastly!) and would understand if he found this weird and wanted to cancel any further dates etc :D He was nice about it but a bit TOO serious. Offering sympathy for my sufferings without apparent irony. I like the bantery type and he ain't doing it.

Anyway another very serious email from him suggesting we meet for a coffee and go to an exhibition and said yes while a bit tipsy the other night :/ I can't cancel now can I? It would be shit and if I were a man you'd all call me a wanker :D so I guess I'll grit my teeth and go but it ain't starting well is it....

x to all. Especially those getting over exes etc.

Good luck watch.
