Dating Thread 43

[WarmFuzzyFun]

Here it is...

I'm convinced I'm way more aged than I should be for 32. Deep 11's from frowning and then when I realise I'm frowning I raise both eyebrows to stop it and that's given me lines on my forehead. Everything is going crepey, you know that baby soft smooth skin on the inside of your forearms... if I look at that in decent light it's seriously crepey. I don't like it... wail!

I don't have any other face crinkles or sags yet but I'm convinced this is because I have a chubby face and if I lose weight it's all going to implode. Sigh.

Snape... oh yeahhhh :o date six :o excellent!!

actually , now that I think about it, my forehead has been heavily lined since I was a teenager, I just have that kind of forehead. botox would freak me out?but very very faint eye lines and no nose to mouth. mind you I am very short sighted, so I just might not be able to see them?

I have no idea if I look good for my age, the people who say I do have a vested interest in keeping me sweet and I dont know too many people my age that I can compare myself with.
You can look at FB or dating site profiles, but most people pick flattering shots only and even then photo's tend not to be up to date

I think I look ok for my age - probably look around what I am (37). Am starting to get lines around my mouth a bit but nothing too bad. Am also very short sighted (can we have competitive short sighted mess Snape ? If you win I will not be impressed) so maybe I just don't see them. I do wear contact lenses though.

Yay for 6th date :) :) :)

I do mystery shopping when I'm not doing other things. Today I went to an electronics place, pretended I wanted a holiday, went to a phone shop and then a sex shop. Checked with Mr Nice what I should buy there as I got that one reimbursed .

I didnt even think about looking old/aging when I was in my 30's...seems like a very long time ago!

no idea of my current prescription... i think one of the numbers is a 6.75. I also have delightful astigmatisms. no doubt the eyesight will go next, at least i wont be able to see the chin hairs....but everyone else will

Hmmm. Sod all the products then, I just need dodgy eyesight to hurry up - problem solved! Everything in soft focus will be wonderfully smooth and not crepey... maybe I should just smear vaseline in my eyes every day. Sorted!

Mine are around -11 each. I get free sight tests and a little voucher to use against the cost of glasses (about £13 or something equally useful ).

I need to tidy a bit and try and convince DC to do the odd useful thing. DS happier to watch television and do club penguin naturally, being a 9 year old boy. DD may be tidying soft animals a bit.

Am wishing I hadn't given up sweets for Lent. Was a bad move tbh.

Snape hurray for date 6

I think I look ok for my age. I do wear a lot of makeup which covers a multitude of sins though...

Off work today as DS2 was doubled up with stomach pain this morning. GP isn't sure if it's appendicitis or not, but he seems better now so hopefully not is the answer.

I also have a horrible cold so DS and I have spent most of the day napping. In one of my more feverish dreams earlier, dreamt that Cuthbert had added me as a friend on FB. I was quite unreasonably disappointed when I woke up and realised he hadn't!

Hello everybody, how are you all ? ( I'm shite ).

WFF if OD was a horse, it would be in a Kerry Katona I'm a Celebrity Real Italian Tikka Masalla Lasagne for One.

Ike, looking good ( I've used Guerlain's Precious Light, I think, is it in a pen ? I occasionally use the Kanebo version - non-committal shrug to both ).

Blind as a bat here too, -5.00 with astigmatism, I've given in to the reading glasses. Sigh.

Chatting to a very amusing man who is a grammar pedant ( hurrah !) but has a beard ( boooo !). Mr Software is putting the finishing touches to the oil painting he has done for me. I'm slightly worried that I will turn up and be confronted by a Bacon-esque depiction of his erection. Memo to self, stop expecting the worst.

< if OD was a horse, it would be in a Kerry Katona I'm a Celebrity Real Italian Tikka Masalla Lasagne for One. >

When it was my birthday earlier this month, someone asked me if it was a big one. As I'm 42, that's either quite good or bloody horrendous, and I can't make up my mind which.

Excellent SnapeNews about Friday! Hoorah!

Velvet hope you are feeling a bit better soon. That's the second C dream you've had in the last few days - must mean something! I had a disturbingly realistic dream about LM last night, great fun.

Nora is the subject of this painting still a mystery? I am a bit about peeple creating works of art in your honour, but on the other hand I am bloody relieved as I can't imagine much worse than being confronted by a painting that was either a portrait of me, pornographic or just plain crap. I'm not a fan of beards either. They attract food bits and smell, Twits stylee. Hope you're recovered soon as well.

Still feeling shite about my dad but I'm hoping that once the anniversary is over on Saturday it will all subside a bit. On the plus side, the anxiety stuff has really been in abeyance over the past couple of weeks and I am very, very pleased with myself indeed for getting through all that shit. Couldn't have done it without you lot, and am not promising that there won't be any wobbles in the future, but I really feel so much more positive and confident about the whole thing.

Hello - can I join in?

I've found a few FWB via OD, but lately decided I wanted something a bit more meaningful, though I can't imagine living with someone again after escaping from ex!

So I signed up with POF... so far my request for an articulate man has brought me messages such as:

"MILF:p" from a 24 yr old, and

"heyyyy i think you are more beautiful than all the angels ever and they are all jelous of your beauty i hope we can talk and get to know each other xx" from a 20yr old - I am 42!!

I've met one guy for coffee, he was pleasant but no spark.

And chatting / texting to another who seems incapable from veering optimistically into innuendo every now and again.....

Hello splish, gawwwd at those messages! In mail settings on PoF you can stop anyone under a certain age contacting you btw :)

I think the correct response to "MILF :p" is going to be mailing back "TILB :)"

and if they ask what it means, explain "Twat I'd like to Block" - then block them

Nora I can't wait to find out what your painting is now - you've just made me roar.

Yay to snape's date number 6!

Another one with the chinny hairs here (I am 43) - I find myself at work going into a trance picking away at my chin and gurning trying to get them out - must look a treat.

Sorry to make you by the way because of my nice first date. But I have only met him once and even though he also does a very good line in email, I don't think we can meet again until late next week and I might have forgotten what he looks like by then.

I am also feeling a bit panicky about the whole thing (here comes the mad) as I have such a bad track record of relationships and am determined never to get involved with anyone else who doesn't treat me with anything less than the utmost respect. And he has done absolutely nothing wrong so far which means that actually he might turn out to be ok and I might have to feel vulnerable if I get to know him better which is already making me feel anxious. Oh, and when I was with my ex who was emotionally abusive I suffered from panic attacks and crippling anxiety which still rears its head from time to time and I'm scared of having to explain all about that to someone that I like and it might freak him out completely. Phew, glad to get that out.

By the way, after reading on here about your cosmic ordering a while ago I ordered my perfect man. I read again what I'd written yesterday and he ticks all the boxes!

I didn't know I could block the youngsters - the 20yr old had a photo that looked like it had been taken in a playground...

And I might try that response Bant

ChooChoo as always in cases like that my advice is that you just have to take a deep breath and try it, take it each day as it comes, don't worry about getting heavy and into deep conversations about the past anytime soon. Just enjoy and have fun.

It's super early days so don't look into the future and decide how it's going to be already, and fret about things that haven't happened and may never never happen.

The alternative is to text him right now and tell him you don't want a relationship with anyone ever, and then never date again - which would of course be silly and not what you want. So just try it, you've dipped a toe in... try the other one next time... hopefully he will turn out to be definitely great and worthy of your trust and time.

I would love to be brave enough to try and turn back the clock. It's only been this year I have started to get lines around my eyes when I smile. Aging slower is the only thing I like about being fat. How do you stop the fear that it will go wrong???

Yay to date 6 - very excited for you Snape

I'm waiting to see if hotbut is free tonight - my stunningly beautiful FWB.

MrCM is still being a flake, so hoping hotbut will be home, with chilled wine, very little conversation and some amazing Coffee to take my mind off Flake

lubey wise words I know, thank you.

Oh what a cunting bastarding fucking day....

Well you've certainly hit the jackpot there with those two stunners Splish, you're tempting me to go on PoF just for the 'jokes' as my 13 year old says endlessly.

Choo agree wholeheartedly with Lubey.

Velvet hope you're feeling a bit better - booze and drugs are the answer to a cold. Disclaimer- this may not be medically true.

OWW , I've had several poems and a song from different OD men, I am clearly a muse. This painting is based on one of his 'drawings from life' apparently. Hmmm. God help me trying to look pleased if it's shite.

It must be so difficult for you at this time of year, it must make the pain of missing your dad even more acute.

What's up, chuck ?

I HATE AND LOATH THAT COCKING TWAT I WAS MARRIED TO.
