[lubeybooby]

Of we got - all dating chit chat here!

< dunno, Joy, I'll nip down the health food shop and get something >

Ike, you are the QUEEN of multi-tasking

Hi, another long time lurker. Have been reading the thread for ages, and found it really helpful when embarking on OD and so I knew it wasn't just me when I had a few first dates, each more horrendous than the last. Worried about outing myself if I wrote about them (not much chance of them reading this thread, but if it would happen to anyone, it would be me).

Sorry to leap in straight away with me me me, but I actually had a really good first date this week which wrong footed me a bit. Second date lined up for tomorrow. Logged into the site which I found him on today, just because I was sure he would probably still be looking...and he has de-activated his account (have each others phone numbers). Is this good? Or full on considering we've met once even if it was a good date? Or irrelevant as maybe he was going to delete it anyway?

Why shallow as fuck? This is about fancying people and you're allowed to be as superficial as you like. Would watch have been called out for saying the guy was too old/short/bald for her because that is superficial and ageist/tallist/hairist? So what is wrong with being fleeceist in this context?

And the wool tie is scary, it's saying that he thinks watch is, or would like her to be, the sort of woman who likes the sort of man who wears wool ties. I'd run a bloody mile.

Ladies fingers ... what, you mean Okra? Or is that some euphemism for a sexual perversion I don't know about ...

The darkened room ignores all slights.

The undies are quite saucy. I look like something out of a Victorian brothel. Need new stockings as I've put a hole in one faffing around and trying them on. A towel is much easier but I might try and get brave enough for the undies!

Thanks Bant. I really think there's something good going on with me and LM, he's wonderful. Not worrying is going well too, I've got a couple of big jobs starting on site next month so that's keeping me busy, which helps, and I'm determined not to let the worry start spiralling. It's weird, I can run a £30m job without batting an eyelid, but some bugger doesn't text and I'm all over the place. Go figure.

Aha now....Tartex .....on an oatcake now you are talkin

I think it's either okra or there are some spongey biscuit things called ladies fingers

throws antonym some from darkened room

I am sure there is all sorts of kink you could get up to witha ladies finger Joyless. Bloody hell I should have put the catch down on the door to the darkened room its gettin a bit stuffy in here and SOMEBODY is drinking all the booze...

Fuckin Okra ...the devils food...especially out of a tin all green and slimey...

OWW, Victorian brothel worker is always a good look

hophophop what site are you on? Some sites have the facility to just hide your profile for a while and its often the choice of when they are of the "one person at a time" dating method. I'd be inclined to mention it when you see him. I had a guy delete his profile after we started dating, whilst I did not (I used the site's discussion forum, but hid my profile). He's now a good friend and It turns out he was really upset that I didin't delete also as he felt it was simply good manners and respectful.

Oooooh OWW you are pushin the boat out and goin all posh on me aren't you, you little minxy you...

We're all drinking all the booze

It was on POF, which is partly why I was surprised that he was so nice, as the previous dates from that site had been so awful! It just says 'user account closed'.

OWW Victorian brothel workers sounds fab ... I'm sure it will be much appreciated!
