Dating thread 56 all welcome

[Kirstywirsty]

The Rules

1 Develop a thick skin;

1. Do not invest emotionally too soon;
2. It's all BS until it actually happens;
3. Trust your gut instinct;
4. If it is not fun, stop

A 'Shitty stick' would be another niche market....

Good grief this thread moves at lightning speed.

I have a date tomorrow night with a guy who I've been messaging back and forth for some weeks. I'll call him GG guy. Anyhoo, I got fed up with him keep suggesting we meet then not actually following through so I said "Christ on a bike man, bloody well ask me on a date". So he did, very nicely, and we're going to a casino for dinner tomorrow night, planned by him with a taxi to take me home so I don't have to drive. Ever the independent and doubting Thomas that I am I've declined that bit and I'll drive myself.

Never been to a casino.

Wembly man is also warming up nicely.

Not only do I hate people with no passion almost equally as bad are people who tell you what everything costs .. I never discuss money with anyone .. Rocky was bad for that .. But was good looking so I managed to ignore the fact that he didn't have much to say ( although I've now remembered the powerful vagina chat and have laughed in the train )

Wine - do you remember the tale of me discussing testicular cancer on my first date with Showbiz and foreign bodies in anuses over lunch with Software ? Thing is, I could hear myself - 'Shutupshutupshutup Nora ! Normal people don't talk about this, you daft mare'

Wisey sounds very sophisticated, do you get to dress up like you're in a Bond film ?

Kirsty I'd forgotten the 'powerful vagina' - that made me laugh such a lot.

Your vaGINAAAAH is so POWERful!

I thought I didn't have any passions, but then remembered that one of my best qualities is that I can be enthusiastic about anything. :-) I am terribly geeky/wordy so I get passionate about doctor who, injustice, books, politics, my DCs,making art/crafts, pop science, atheism and carbohydrates.

Right I'm meeting Pinkhat in an hour. Will try for a loo update.

Do you have any idea it is to look cool and unruffled when its 40 degrees?

Pah

Ah, thread, you do make me chuckle.....

Passion has to be there. I don't mind if it's about their job, that's one of mine (want to discuss the link between oral sex and throat cancer, anyone?), and the wider NHS.

Too go back to the previous discussion about children and the childless, by the way, I don't have children and don't mind dating someone with or without them. Mr 3DD (who has lots) says that a woman not having them wouldn't put him off, but his profile says he imagines a date would have them too. There doesn't seem to be a hard and fast rule, really, and even if someone says they want a certain attribute, it doesn't necessarily mean it's a deal breaker. Though it might be.

Am too chilled for my own good this evening, having had some good non-dating related news today. I love everyone. Mwah.

bant I think you're going have to settle for being a bit sweaty.

Always a good look, Snape

winefiend am doing my roots, have tried on numerous LBD's and shoes (very high so he better be as tall as his profile says).

GG man is ok I think. I shall be asking him why he has two mobiles, merest hint of hanky panky and I'm outta there.

Wembley man is unlike any other I've contemplated dating. He's 10 years older than me for a start. ex h was 5 years younger and most of my previous partners have been younger.

I just want some new experiences. Fed up with going for the same old, same old.

How exciting Wisey - I do like a casino evening. It's the decadence of it I think. Put a chip between 37 and 38 for me!

This question might be a little offensive, but why are OD men so short? Everyone I've met through real life has been average to tall, but go online and it's a totally different story. I am developing a theory that men need to be single for longer than women before they sign up for a dating site, but women are also very good at pouncing on eligible single men they know in real life, so filtering out the 'best'.

Hmm, actually this is just plain offensive isn't it?

I forgot to say that I am enormously passionate about classic cars - anything pre-60's. SLG and I went to Blenheim Palace on Sunday and there was a vintage Ferrari show in the grounds which was way more exciting than the tour!

I drive a slightly clapped out Peugeot 206 BTW...

Wine the cape os so last year.

Bant it's just the Speedos, budgie smugglers only. Less is more.

Wisey go you!

Oh dear god, just imagine

Having been married for 20 years to a shorter gentleman with an ego the size of a planet I now look for the man's height because the first thing I did was buy a pair of 'fuck you' heels. I've never looked back and Im now known as 'intrepid in heels' by my mates.

I like tall men, I'm 5'3" too.

So if GG wants to give me money to gamble with do I accept it? It's ladies night tomorrow apparently. I shall def put money between 37 and 38 smootieoo.

First thing dates usually do when I tell them my job is go all quiet and worried looking .

Oh you just WON'T BELIEVE IT. Wembley has just messaged me and asked what my job is!!!!

FFS!!!!!!
