Dating chat thread 46

all dating related chit chat here!

off we go

Scatty, a great deal of experience of depression and mental illness within my family over decades made me very reluctant to take anti-depressants - I didn't want to be like 'them'. Then came the end of my marriage and various other shenanigans, and I finally accepted that I needed some help, saw the GP, was prescribed Sertraline and took it for 8 months or so, alongside some counselling. All they do is give a little bit of breathing space. If I ever need to take them again, I will do it in a heartbeat. Have a big hug and do whatever you need to do to feel better.

Ike here although it should come with a sanity warning.

velvet I remember that thread. It was awful and not at all constructive. In fact I couldn't believe we were in the 2012 era.
This thread is definitely the best. A bit of tough love when needed on the background of compassion and insight.
I looked at a thread about whether you would go out with someone with depression. I was given that anyone could get anything at anytime and no one is immune from anything the human condition throws at us.

Jules Oh I have already peeked decided nah...had enough battles for one day. YY to happy pill gobbling here! Counselling, sleeping pills anything that gets you through the night and up again the next morning and is legal and safe gets the thumbs up from me!!

Fucking bastard.

He's marked the payment as 'BPAS treatment' - yesterday it only showed his initials but now it's updated it says that.

There on my bank statement now forever.

Fuckhead. One last stab at me seeing as I won and he didn't like it?

Velvet - you were told to 'dress more conservatively and wear less makeup' ? Seriously ? I hope you told them to ram their advice up their collective fundament.

I've been contacted by a vegan Buddhist architect, he wants to know if I'd like to use his Buddhist name, several syllables, quite exotic, or his real name, which let's say just for the sake of contrast is 'Nigel'.

Match is bobbins

I'm sorry Lubey what a prize wanker, how unbelievably petty.

Scatty I was going to post on that depression thread the other day, but got so annoyed by some of the nasty, judgy opinions on there I couldn't compose myself enough to write coherently.

Lubey I wondered if he would get a little dig in somehow. That's really spiteful actually, and just shows how petty he is.

Kin I was actually quite restrained at the time, and just said I wouldn't be changing how I dress, or the amount of make up I wear...the infererence was I'd be single a long time then which if C doesnt get his arse into gear is probably true

Lubey it's probably for his own recording purposes for the avoidance of doubt rather than trying to get at you. No one will ever see it, mentally bin if you can. He paid, that's what matters knobber.

Kin what I wrote on that thread did reference Velvet being 'superior' . She is, innit.

I was wondering...what has happened to Voice? Has he fallen asleep on the sofa?

Voice is around, he got told he was being picky on the current thread, something which I also referenced

Juliette < leans over garden fence, hoiks bosom > ooh yes, that Velvet so hoity-toity and superior with her fancy-pants lawyer ways.

Velvet - honestly who would say such a thing ? I mean really, give me strength. I despair sometimes.

I skim read through the 'single' thread and now I need chocolate.

ike - still here, still on the sofa. Jules that single thread is a peach, isn't it? I thought your posting was great. Sometimes I think there must be a lot of Americans on some of the other threads because there are so many who don't see irony or sarcasm....

ouch. i came over as i was told this was a good thread.

Didnt expect to see the thread i started being slagged off.

oh well.

Voice aka Mr Very Picky, is 'Americans' a euphemism? I really had no answer that would be understood without being, er condescending

Single - we weren't slagging you off, we were slagging the general tone from one or two of the contributors!!

Jules - I am thinking of changing my name on here to MrVeryPicky for daring to only contact people I find attractive (shock, horror)

Supplement - I think people were slating the judginess of the responses to your OP - not you :)

The difference with this thread is we're all in the same boat - no SmugMarrieds giving advice which is unrealistic, pointless, offensive or just ridiculously out of date.

But mostly, we complain about the weirdoes we meet online, and the main rule is if we have a first date we have to give an update from the loo halfway through so we can all live vicariously

Thats ok then, couldnt see anything wrong with what i or most of the others on there had said really.

Youre welcome on here Single...but only if you like Soreen and Angel Delight enemas...

Oooof the guy I took en extended loo break from has just checked me out on POF....I still feel terrible...

Hello Voice.....you are awake then!

Yep Single absolutely not slagging you off or the entire thread, it is the responses of some of the posters on there. All are welcome here, and no one has even suggested joining a group

Single, don't be panicking, it's only Ike with the Angel Delight enemas.

Clearly, I won't be meeting Software man this evening, seeing as he thinks the date in on Thursday. I'm on alert there now, I think he is scared and this could be a way of dodging the date.
