Or am I going to be 'one'

good move akaWisey Grin.

I find even if its an activity/location I really like, the thought of being with someone I was a bit "meh" about trying to pounce/grope me in a socaiily inept way would be horrific!

ps also find that the ones who TALK about it aren't actually that good if you know what I mean Grin if someone is going to be a good lover, they will be confident they can judge what to do when the time is right and how to read physical signals, they don't need a "so you WILL do this with me right?" guarantee before the date!

lurkinglorna · 24/06/2013 21:21

ha ha at "mills and boon" Grin

lurkinglorna · 24/06/2013 21:24

i was chatting with someone online (who i'd been on a first date with was a bit "meh" about him as in VERY prestigious job but just a bit unmasculine/feathery stroker type).

You know when you're just a bit craving some distraction/attention but not taking them too seriously? well he wrote "I should have kissed you end of our date", the conversation got a bit flirty and...

I got:

"i will lift you up above my head and kiss your secret mound" Confused

48howdidthathappen · 24/06/2013 21:25

Scrazy That is shite.

I heard of an OD success story today. Both over 50. Now happily living together Smile

HeyBeenTryingToMeetYou · 24/06/2013 21:26

OMG lorna I just had to hide behind my hands and shriek at 'secret mound'

akaWisey · 24/06/2013 21:27

Exactly lurkinglorna.

So I got another date for 6th July with a very straightforward sounding chap, it was very easy and no bollocks involved at all. He's kinda geeky cool looking. Grin

I hate a liar too, can't bear it. They make for very painful people to be around. Best out of it Scrazy.

Lorna Grin Secret mound. Is he a grown up?

akaWisey · 24/06/2013 21:29

SECRET MOUND??????

Oh noooooooo?.!!!!

I've got to find a way to use 'secret mound' in conversation

Djangounhinged · 24/06/2013 21:30

Sorry to hear that Scrazy, well done for just getting rid. No idea what compels people to tell lies, they've been reminded since primary school days that they'll get found out in the end Hmm.

And you're well out of that one too Wisey - I think almost without exception, men who reel out the "tease" clichés are just hoping to wear you down with their insistence that you must really want to sleep with them. Meh.

Blooming, hugs to you, sorry you're having such a shite time of it at the moment Thanks

to thread, nothing of note happening chez Django

HeyBeenTryingToMeetYou · 24/06/2013 21:30

Don't action men toys have secret mounds?

KinNora · 24/06/2013 21:30

Hahahahahahaha at 'secret mound' ( it's not Showbiz is it ?)

Bant · 24/06/2013 21:31

Yes, and if you press it right their eyes move from side to side

lurkinglorna · 24/06/2013 21:32

VERY grown up as in not just "good professional" job but a fairly big shot in something that affects a lot of people's lives. i think that kind of backs up my theory that impressive jobs do not a good date make!

And in person he was just a bit nervous and weedy so I'm not even sure he was strong enough to pick me up, let alone so my...erm....YOU KNOW WHAT....was in line with his face for him to kiss.

after that flirty chat session i kind of faded away from contact....Confused

ProperStumped · 24/06/2013 21:37

OMFG. Secret mound??? GrinGrin

HeyBeenTryingToMeetYou · 24/06/2013 21:39

Ha ha bant, that's the second time you've made me MEGALOLZ this eve!

lorna I think you are so right about the job / date correlation! We should make a graph!

48howdidthathappen · 24/06/2013 21:40

Im still laughing Grin

ALittleStranger · 24/06/2013 21:43

I think the graph would hold up, but there's also something about "freelancers" that would be a bit of an outlier.

I think I have a sex hormone hangover. Confused

HeyBeenTryingToMeetYou · 24/06/2013 21:45

Me too 48, my stomach is hurting Grin

Moanranger · 24/06/2013 21:45

You know, that is something that could be very erotic if whispered in bed in the midst of passion, - but texted - noooo!
He sounds rather sad & probably not had sex in awhile.
Meet Up guy was rather overly effusive the first time we DTD, but again, in bed & as he hadn't had sex for about a year, it was understandable.

JulietteMontague · 24/06/2013 21:47

Secret mound. How has any woman had sex with him without bursting out laughing. Wisey good for you.

Bant once word got out it was weeks before I got a look at an Action Man's secret mound. Vair disappointed which kind of set me up for life.

lurkinglorna · 24/06/2013 21:55

ha ha at graph

erm....

best ones i've dated:

navy, human resources (he basically did a personality analysis of me before we spent a night together, and worked out my sexual needs based on that. AMAZING) construction workers

ok average ones:

army, sports profs, most others, engineers, techies, scientists.

bad ones:

law, medicine, politics, anything a bit pretentious and "arty" or journalist - too "up in their heads and self centred".

this is very discrimnatory, sorry! and of course i accept i am probably bottom of a lot of mens lists Confused

@ ALittleStranger

ha ha, good night? Smile

lurkinglorna · 24/06/2013 21:58

do men have "sexy professions" or preference? bant? i sometimes think i benefit that my job isn't that "intimidating" really, that said my bank balance isn't that happy a lot of the time!

Bant · 24/06/2013 22:04

Well personally I love a woman with a fork lift truck licence
