Dating thread no 52

[BillMasen]

The first one started by a bloke?

You're right OWW, I've replied. This OD is such a strange business, the more men I see on POF, the less I want to say in my profile. Keep deleting more and more. Soon it will just say 'Ah feck off'. Is this the potato overload effect? Hmmm, not sure am in the right frame of mind for OD today.

I say very little in my profile. I think I had it down to under thirty words at one point and it didn't stop 'em! Yep, potato effect, ignore and delete!

Better tactic might be to be a bit proactive and search for and message the ones you like the look of. Usually works well although if course there are some that won't reply. I messaged LM first (more fool me), Indie messaged me but I'd said yes on the want to meet you feature. Those are the only two I've ever bothered to go on second dates with.

OWW He is doing the burial this afternoon. He just couldn't cope with it yesterday. He will be in bits, but he wants to do it alone. Been texting, he is keeping his chin up.

Very excited for you and KW

Hey Love to see a profile with just 'Ah feck off'

He's on his way!! 45 mins eeeeeeeek!!

Go you KW

Go Kirsty! Go Kilty!

Not expecting an update til tomorrow with this one!

Ooh! kirsty!

I'm just having a large glass of Dutch courage just now

Hope you enjoy tonight OWW

Go Kirsty ! Have a fabulous time

Hey you have to be in the right frame of mind to venture into your inbox/likes/views because sometimes it just gets a bit ' really ? really ? are these the kind of men I attract ? There is no hope' . I'm in that kind of mood today so I'm keeping well away from my accounts.

Have fun, Kirsty!

48, it never rains but it pours. Thinking of you, your Mum, and Mr R&R.

Good luck to those going on dates today/tonight.

I have a date set up for Thursday and I have someone wanting to set a date up.

Hope delivery guy pops up

Who've you got lined up then SP?

Place marking.

Had a great weekend and it seems like I am with man, man being the one I've known for a long time and deep down.... Watch this space for it all to go tits up sooner or later, as it will. Will delurk when it does .

Good luck OWW and Kirsty on your dates tonight. Will keep reading.

Kirsty break him

OWW so, if he does pass the snog test?

48 best wishes to your Mum and R&R, it would be surprising if he didn't have a wobble at a difficult time given ahem, a bit of a track record of dumping during, er difficult times

Sp he won't know what's hit him!

Juliette that is the burning question.

But I think he will ...

Just watch out for me being back here in six hours going "Ewwww"!

OWW best make sure he kisses early on then

OWW I'm living one the edge and having two dates in one week for the first time ever. Ones a rugby player. He has lovely looking legs

Then there's the seems shy financial consultant who I'm meeting on Thursday.

Tuesday I have a date with the delivery guy, he doesn't know it yet but he will be at my door with some form of food and I will try find out information before I make my move

Do you think I should test him out quite early on then Juliette?

Sounds good SP - hope he doesn't stay shy for too long ... And that the rest of the rugby player's as good as his legs!

Still in local pub .. He is lovely .. Loo update over and out

OWW well you are not sure where you want to go with this. You were feeling a little no spark after reading a lack of kiss as a sign that he didn't fancy you and you've been considering shagging him (personally if I'm considering and definitely going to, I will) then you might as well get the kissing done. If you do want to do something with him, just make sure you are very safe, listen to your gut and do what you want to. If you don't see him again, so what. You are not at all attached or committed and anyway, would you want to be with a man who didn't want to see a woman again because she had sex with him?

Kirsty ooh exciting!

I am just going to see what happens. No shagging though, not tonight, but hope we will see a bit of action.

I think the lack of a kiss last time was him being unsure about whether I liked him.

The thing about people doing a runner after they've shagged, it's all part of the "nice girls don't" crap I had drummed into me during my formative years. I know it's crap, but it's still hard to shake off.

Soooo, snogging, yes; shagging, no; something in between, hope so!

Kirsty so glad it's going well

A man who does a runner after shagging, would probably have done a runner anyway or he is not a man who sees women as equals.

V v good!!! No snogging yet though ...
