Here we go again. Dating thread 42

[VoiceofUnreason]

Evening all. As you were.

I'm Scorpio and really tempted to put on any future profile, 'no Sagittarians thanks' as Snow Leopard and a previous ex were Sagittarians. I seem to have chemistry with them, but it never works out. Another disastrous relationship was with a Libran. I definitely do not have good luck with people born in the next door signs.

I have Virgo rising and people usually guess I am Virgo.

Flipper the nerve of him. I would be cackling with glee. But could be down to my Scorpio nature, we don't forgive easily and we're very vindictive.

Hello Threaders! Had a lovely day with dcs - dentist first thing (not particularly lovely, that), cinema and popcorn, picnic lunch (outside! In the north! In February!), successful curtain put-uppery, visit to the park. Having a little lie down before tea.

Outing with LM tomorrow - seems ages since I saw him.

Not seen my mum since Friday or had her on the phone which probably means I've offended her in some way, but I think that's probably contributed to my positive mood.

Just had an email about a job I applied for before Christmas - I was certain I'd get an interview so I was quite knocked back when I didn't hear anything. But they've put the job on hold so at least I know it wasn't me.

I'm a technophobe Aquarius as well, Ike! But I fit a lot of the other stuff. Tbh, we'd all probably fit a good few of the characteristics for any of the star signs. It tends to be so general you can make it fit you/your life if you want to.

Hello Poppy - how are things with you?

Flipper it was here bunkum

Thanks, Nora!

Turns out I'm Cancer with Scorpio rising and my moon in Aries.

Who knew?
Pincers and horns, and a sting in my tail...

Soooo. Date 5 tomorrow with nameless... Which is technically date 2 in my weirdy time travel way, due to him being under the wether & me dropping by hs... we are going for a walk in the park, a block away from his... I said I couldn't buzz-by to collect him as my knickers seem to fall off every time I set foot in his flat....

..he's meeting me off the train.

I wonder when one stops counting the dates and it becomes average?

I'm a leo, no idea on risings and things, how do you find these things out?

I have spent the afternoon with MrCM, coffee not Coffee. Have found much more out about him which does explain what's been going on

His ex took his kids to Scotland 15 months ago to be with new DH. Every two weeks he flies from London - Scotland to see them. Previously they shared 50/50. So, he is unsure whether he is staying in London or moving to Scotland.

He's torn as family, life and good job is in London, kids in Scotland but job prospects poor and no support. He said he is wary of getting involved, falling in love with someone and then having more ties or having to deal with long distance relationship

He did say every time I've deleted him, he's thought ok that's for the best but I'm in his head and he isn't happy to say goodbye.

I do believe him - I don't think he's a player at all. We actually met in his workplace as he was alone in the office. No sleaze, just lots of talking very openly and a sneaky kiss before I left.

I was supposed to be on a date with someone else this afternoon, but he cancelled an hour before, sore throat apparently and then sent a cock pic - this is why MrCM is so appealing - he has never been crude

He is off to Scotland for 24 hours tomorrow for parents evening and then I'm away at the weekend and he is busy for his birthday thurs onwards. So, won't see him for at least a week. But I feel happier now I have an explanation that makes sense

.. he cancelled the date then sent a cock pic...

words fail me. I mean, I know the blokes on here are a somewhat self-selecting group, being (mostly) parents, 30s or older, and, most tellingly, on MN, but I just have no idea why a bloke would do that.

It's like calling in sick to work, saying 'Sorry boss, I just can't manage to get in today'.. 'by the way I shagged your mum'

That does make sense Ms C and I really feel for him as he has some difficult decisions to make. At least you know what's going on now, and you can decide where you want to go with this now you have proper information. Oh I wish it was more straightforward for you.

I just had a skype chat with a very polite man, I'm pleased to report that he made no attempt what so ever to masturbate whilst we were talking.

He seemed very nice, we seemed to have lots in common..which surprised me a little as he's quite alot younger than me (18 years)

Just discovered I am aqua with taurus rising ...makes me very stubborn and 'out there'....well who knew??? As you all were....

Bant do you really think being 30s or older protects against cock pics?? I know quite a few people 30s and younger who have done OD and none of them have been sent cock pics or dealt with some of the weirder shit that gets pulled by men posted about here. My own personal theory is that OD is more normalised for younger people as they lead so much off their lives online anyway, but it's [some of] the over 40s who think all moral norms go out the window when a pixel is involved.

stranger - yeah, I guess it's just that I'd presumed it was the teenage morons who'd be doing it. Its even more depressing that its blokes in their 40s and 50s.

Just popping my head round the door to 'Hi, quick visit'

Hope everything is OK with everyone, as you all know my head is a bit spaghetti at the moment but I am keeping up with all your updates.

Oh, and I am a LEO. 27 in August.

to say*

How are you Rose?

I'm a Leo too.

He cancelled. Then sent a cock pic.

At times like this I wonder, what would Jane Austen do? These particular men seem to think the cock pic is the equivalent of the visiting card in the 18th century. Did you dance with a lady last night, but can't find time to call on her and enquire about her health this morning? No problem, send your servant over with a cock pic.

ALittleStranger I think you're right.

it beggars belief
perhaps some part of the 'reptilian brain' is triggered by mobile phone signals

I think the best thing to do is to find and send them an image so disgusting it will burn itself onto their retina.

I'm sure Florentine has some he could recommend, as he's good with Youtube and obscure sites at appropriate times :)

Agree the cock pic is more likely to be from men in their late 30s or 40s, the trouble with the cock pic though is that you never really know whose cock it is anyway.

Bant re audacity, I had an ex pop up on msn one day. We started chatting about family stuff when right in the middle of this he sent me screenshots of various cock out poses. They arrived in quick succession so I had no idea of the content until the first one opened. This was a professional man, well respected and his reputation was everything. Then aged 41.

I seem to be a magnet for cock pics. My profile is non sexy, it says all over it no webcam and actually mentions no cock shots

I still get around one a week. I never go on msn any more as every man I have ever talked to on there from dating sites, get's their cock out. If they send it, they got told I am not impressed and then block

Bloke today actually said - after I said I thought he was a knob - only having a laugh and you love it really Don't think he was laughing when I said not funny, don't love it and why do you feel the need to show me such a poor example anyway - acorns are not attractive. Haven't heard from him since

Do you know I have never ever had a cock pic....hmmm

maybe it's an ego thing. I dunno. I mean I'm quite fond of mine. You could even say I'm attached to it. I'm very happy with what I can do with it.

But I'm also aware that visually, it's not exactly on a par with a Rembrandt or Van Goch, or Dali on a good day. Sending unrequested pictures of it is just tantamount to assault.

knobends

Juliette, that is VILE sex offender-ish behaviour, wtf makes him think it's ok to behave like that towards you
what a horrible, creepy, pervert
