The Dating Thread - episode 60

[Djangounhinged]

If I may?

Bant 2. I saw a sign with Bant on it yesterday on the motorway, no idea.

Sweet because it was all about him you see, there was more but that was a highlight.

There was also the date that say 'nice arse you've got there, do you like anal?'

And another who within minutes was talking about his wife delivering DC 2 in a birthing pool at home in DETAIL.

Hahahahaha!! Oh, there are such arseholes around

Ouch, Wine, how's the bonce today?

I'm also disappointed about the lurrrve pizza. Could you do something creative today, Snape? I wish I had your imagination.

No 2. Bant Never really going any where was it?

I tend to ask the awkward questions. Such as how big is your cock

bant. I think I'd go with #2 and use the template

(1) I've enjoyed spending time with you recently
(2) you're beautiful and funny and (insert other compliment)
(3) but I don't think that things will work out because (insert your failings, make it about you, not her.) I still have feelings for (insert appropriate person)
(4) I think that prolonging our relationship will stop you meeting someone who is absolutely perfect for you. You deserve someone lovely. I'm not.
(5) i'm really sorry for doing this by email,
(6)I wish you every happiness and am sure that you will meet someone equally lovely.

Therefore you manage to end it in a vaguely noble fashion, without coming across as a total dick. :) I wouldn't mention meeting someone else as that has the implication that she isn't 'good enough'

Just back from lovely evening and a walk up to the park with nameless. I think he might have said 'it' himself, but I wasn't concentrating on what he was saying, because I was concentrating on what he was doing and therefore it could have been down to activity based hormones, so I'll let it go. It wasn't really the right time to say 'you what me?! Sorry, say that again?'

I need a shower.

Bant I don't feel qualified to give advice but as usual have decided to go ahead anyway. Nothing is going to make her feel good/bad better/worse in my opinion, so just tell the truth. I favour direct and unequivocal like telling someone about an unexpected death. But that's just me, someone a bit more helpful might be along soon.

Eek posted and then saw everyone else had too - curse this phone.

48 The cock question - you are joking right?

Dad No joke.

Face to face, before DTD. Something I have to know.

48 never jokes about cocks.

Snape thanks, that might do it

Also I just received a PM from someone highly judgemental and irritating. Is it wrong to say 'get tae fuck' if I'm not actually Scottish?

If it is, then how about 'fuck you and the high horse you rode in on?'

Five things to not mention on a first date
#1 what a fucking bitch your ex is.
#2 that my photos imply I am thinner. Or younger. Yours imply you have a full head of hair, but I'm far too polite to mention that.
#3 that drinking a pint is unladylike. As are tattoos.
#4 anything overly sexual pertaining to fetishes you might possess.
#5 that 'doctor who' is a children's programme. Or that Sci fi is rubbish.

:)

Can't name and shame the pizza joint as it is a tiny family owned restaurant rather than a huge conglomerate. :) bless them, they were busy.

Might do something creative later. Been drinking tea and smiling. On the way back from the park, we walked past a load of bin liners full of discarded household items, so we had a rummage for treasure. We didn't find any, but I suspect having a bloke who will rummage through trash with me is a pretty good indication that we've already got enough treasure to be going on with.

Coming out of the shadows, or at least to the end of the thread, phew.... A Saturday afternoon ?wasted. This has been a fabulous read, but I have a few questions.

What is an 'Emotional Pizza'? I think I picked up it's a pizza with something romantic written on it??? Maybe there is a corner in the market....

And what are 'potatoes' and what does fit 'spud criteria', we have established Dad doesn't.

I feel a bit weird about calling Dad umm...Dad. Is it just me?

I gave up OD for the year, tired of all the time and energy it took, but good to see it is still as confusing and frustrating as ever.

This has truly been better than any soap opera, slouchy dates, lunging lovers, second dates and long (perhaps not that long ago) lovers that miss out to a better man.

Okay, returning to 'lurking status'

I'd suggest reporting the PM bant blocking the sender and not dignifying it with a response.

If I were to receive such a PM, I think that's what I did would do.

(If this is my third post in a row, I apologise! It's not all 'me,me,me')

Jo I admit to feeling a little odd calling Dad umm... Dad.

But figured it's only a 3 letter word.

If it's the person who pm'd me, Bant, I'm very surprised they haven't been banned from the site (and also that they managed to recover from the virtual kicking I gave them last night) - I reported them.

Another top first date tip, don't say you have 'several very interesting fetishes'.

I'm warming to Hot Tub, by the way.

thinking Uncle would sound even more odd than Dad

Woo hoo OWW have a lovely evening!

Bloody hell, yes, I'd forgotten, have a wonderful evening with Alpha OWW, and good luck to anyone else out on dates tonight.

You could all call me DFU ....

I love it when my fellow lurkers, come out from the shadows and post. Come on!

Sigh. Back to the sanding.

Lubey I luffs ya baby

48 hang on hang on - isn't the cock question just as bad (in its way) as "nice arse do you like anal?" ? Or am I missing something?

Jo - the pizza was to have declared "I love you" - we all (I think) agreed it was innovative and generally great but sadly didn't happen due to unforseen supply chain issues. Snapespeare was going to give the pizza to her bloke ( I think that's it)

Yes, sorry (hello jo!) DFU has explained it perfectly. :)
