Dating thread no 52

[BillMasen]

The first one started by a bloke?

Loving the idea of a thread party. Co-ordinating an evening we can all be child free might be a challenge, but I'm up for it.
And yes, inappropriate behaviour at a summer party is just as acceptable as a Christmas one.

I'm coming to the thread party. Even if I do only pop up and whinge on here every couple of weeks or so!

I get scared of groups of people but would try very hard to overcome this for a thread party

Miranda same here. But my innate nosiness would make a thread party irresistable!

Fancy dress? :)

Not fancy dress no . Although I might wear a Fancy Dress :)

I am up for the epic do .. And I am insouciance personified

HELLO, IF YOU ARE HAVING A THREAD PARTY, I WOULD LIKE TO BE INVITED. I LIVE IN THE STICKS SO IT MIGHT NOT BE POSSIBLE.....

Sorry for shouting and as I've said I'm not dating so don't have any interesting stories (that I would dare post on here, anyway) so I am not a great contributor. Don't forget me if it happens.

A thread party you say?

Yes please! how bloody amazing would that be? Would have to include cocktails and name badges maybe? Or the fun of guessing who is who?

Tigsy where are you based? I know someone who is moving to the Middle East who is looking for a home for their cat. I am in Glasgow

Just had a message on POF ''nice pics - you don't look your age '

Instantly deleted .. I am a bit sensitive about this as I am 45 tomorrow .. Birthdays don't normally bother me .. In fact I love mine usually

Happy birthday for tomorrow Kirsty - I just turned 46 - but if anyone asks, I'm 42 okay? .

Talking of age, STB-ex is taking his 23 year old g/f on holiday tomorrow. I do hope they have a faaaabulous time and am not secretly hoping that she gets off with a Greek waiter... oh no

smoothie your secret is safe with us!!

Kiltykilty has just texted :)

kirsty we couldn't be much further apart!! I'm in sunny surrey!

Anyone near me?

...didn't think so...

I bloody love fancy dress parties.

Showbiz has asked me out this weekend but is going to send me a 'very careful, line-walking email' about it later on - I assume this means he's going to suggest some kind of shag-enabling setting. No idea what my answer will be if that is the case.

I have been given 5* on okc by the handsomest man I've ever seen on OD - he must be fake, surely (92% match too).

Ooh Kin please PM me, I need to know they exist!

As for Showbiz, surely you don't have to agree to anything until the moment strikes (or not).

Ooh Nora that's very exciting about the OkC guy! Are you going to message him?

What was your gut feeling when you got that from Showbiz - excitement or stomach-sinking?

Interestingly, Indie hasn't been on PoF for at least a week (neither have I apart from just having a quick nosy (without logging in) to find out if he's still looking/chatting)... He's nice. Think we will have some action this weekend, can't wait! .

Of course Juliette, I'll pm in a minute - he's in that there London too ... I probably won't message him, I think he's too good looking pour moi. (I bet you're beside yourself with excitement about tomorrow, I'm excited for you )

OWW that sounds promising about Indie, do you feel better about everything today ?

My heart didn't sink when Showbiz said that, I was vaguely amused by his careful phrasing. Thing is I don't fancy him but I'm pretty certain he's my kind of thing in bed and he's an excellent kisser. Tricky.

Juliette are you managing to contain yourself? No last minute nerves? It's so exciting - hope you have time to give an update from our (other) foreign correspondent.

Nora - could be worth giving him a bit of a run then, see what happens if you actually get beyond kissing, without committing yourself to anything.

I am feeling a bit better about the LM stuff. Am going to have a last wallow about it tonight (unless I get distracted by very flirtatious texting with Indie again). And then that will be that. Really grateful for Juliette's post last night reminding me what a shit he was/is, and to everyone else for being so understanding and sympathetic.

I am also feeling quite positive about the Indie stuff as well. I am secretly quite glad that he's not been active on PoF since we met. I know he's entitled to, no commitment to me at this stage, obviously, but it's just nice that he's not doing it.

I think you're entitled to the LM sadness and to feel a bit of pleasure at Indie keeping away from PoF, there's nothing wrong with either, you're moving on and there are a lot of positive things to look forward to.

I reckon you're right about snogging Showbiz and seeing how things progress, strangely the thought of sleeping in the same bed as someone else is the thing that I'm most uncomfortable about, I can't see myself wanting that particular level of intimacy with anyone.

I know what you mean about the sleeping thing Kin - I had no problems DTD for the first time in ages a few weeks ago but actually sleeping proved far more difficult. Not sure why - is it a vulnerability thing?

OWW I'm really glad you're feeling better about LM. If only some of these guys knew the bloody angst they cause.

Juliette - I just had to say a quick You're Bloody Awesome for going to Dutchlandia for your date when most of us would baulk at driving more than a couple of miles out of our way

It is a very long time since I shared a bed with anyone apart from the dc. I think my ex gave up sleeping with me and decided to move onto the settee shortly after dd was born, so nearly eleven years ago. Actually, it was probably before that five or six nights out of seven. I slept with LM a couple of times but never felt properly comfortable, kept waking up and didn't get a good deep sleep.

I would like to do this again, though, but it is very intimate and I'm also put off by potential snoring or farting (by either party).

I've got a message from Pretty Boy ! Oh my good god.

(He's going to be a right tool isn't he ?)

What does he say Nora?
