Dating thread no 52

[BillMasen]

The first one started by a bloke?

Sorry Kin and holding your hand/patting your back/offering

Anodyne or not, it's just the getting in touch unexpectedly that's enough.

Why no Bant ?

SP I thought of you the other day when I saw an article along the lines of 'How do you know when a customer is flirting or just being friendly?' Sorry about the bloody disgusting sounding yellow hat.

I am dateless by choice this weekend. Horror fest ('The Grudge') and chocolate with the DC tonight, night out with old friends tomorrow.

I'm going out Sunday! My friend has finally left the controlling nobber of a bf and we are off celebrating seen as the toddler is at his dads sat til Monday night!

Might have some luck in RL

Kin Remember you have moved on

Let me count the ways...

Every photo was taken from above, which hid all of her chins.
She had long eyelashes with clumpy mascara, one time she blinked it a bit flew off onto her nose. I couldn't take my eyes off it. It was hypnotic. She talked about how lonely she was, a bit too much. She'd described herself as 'slender' and 'very attractive' and she wasn't either. Personally I prefer average or curvy, but I was irritated by the fibbing.

And she didn't make eye contact. I'm guessing the no chemistry was mutual because of that, but I can just forego the text I think.

Kin old exes are like the devil, they pop up and stir you up for no good intent...don't stroke his ego, lovely.

Bant, you kind of knew though, didn't you? But it was nice that you wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt. It shows that you are not completely cynical...yet

Hey Kin...what does spuddy want do you think???I am sorry that he has shaken you up a bit lovely girl. Bant...no need to worry about getting a bigger car for the extended brood then...

kin

bant on the bright side, you havent invested time-energy. so this is technically a win.

i have dyed my hair & bought a bunch of italian white from m&s. expect winedoom in a couple of hours that will suggest nameless did not get too much sun, but is doing the charleston with a skinny minxy much younger-than-i woman in a cellar in shoreditch (nothing suggests this might be the case, i'll be wine-fuelled doom-scenarioing, when it's apparent he's unwell & is scrabbling me as we speak, i'm just doing my usual dont-know--my-status-wobble. hey ho. )

Smoo The hat really did ruin it. I just looked and thought 'cant make a porno in that love'

baby take off your coat

Ugh. Link fail.

baby, take it off

who is it, Wine

Go on, spill

No, no, no.. No 'shitshitshitfuckfuckbollocksbastard' about it.

When I was walking up south bank to go and meet nameless for the first time, someone ( I forget who) said, 'don't be daft, he's lucky that he's meeting you' ..and that saw me through. We can get a bit cynical if we've been doing this whole OD thing for a bit, or we can be really, really nervous-worried if it's all a bit new and sparkly.

I think the main thing is, it will all be well. :)

Wine we need details - who? where? and so on

I have to get my excitement vicariously at the moment!

Nora sorry to hear he's shaken you up by doing this. It would with me, too. I'm imagining it's a general "Hi, how are you?" type message. He's just fishing, trying to hook you back in. Just ignore - not easy and it would be so tempting to reply, but nothing good can come of doing that. Hope you're okay.

Wine I've had my share of ishoos- and angst-ridden blokes. They're not worth it and you'll wear yourself into a frazzle trying to cope. It's all the "rescuer" stuff and like all these things so much easier to deal with once you know you're doing it. So you're more than half way there. Good luck with Normal Guy! Sunday is shaping up to be hot date night - me, you and Nora so far ...

Snape wine doom is banned for the entire month of May. You know he's a good 'un.

Good luck Wine, it's exciting stuff .

I have dates nos 2 and 3 on Bank Holiday monday, one at 5.30 one at 8 . Apart from that nada. Or at least no one I like, and of course the ones I like don't respond. That old chestnut.

I've got loads of overhead photos Bant, I love them, I look bloody stunning in them. I wouldn't ever post them on line though, I suspect most people would not recognise me as the same person (bloody gravity and too many years on this planet).

Hi to all of you, I've dipped in and out of your threads, so glad for those of you who have met someone you are enjoying spending time with. But I also like hearing about the disastrous dates too, makes me feel better!
After a fairly catastrophically bad foray into Internet dating (met a misogynist sex pest, a man who wanted a wife to run his house, and a man who I discovered had a long term girlfriend) I have now had 2 dates with a lovely, lovely man Date number 3 is Tuesday night and he's coming here for dinner once the kids are in bed - eek! Help me, what do I cook, what do I wear?! Do I shave my legs?!
