The Dating Thread - episode 60

[Djangounhinged]

If I may?

Idly wonders what manner of man Mr Fucked up might be
Kirsty That all sounds wonderful and I'm not the least envious at all ever oh no

Woman in a deli he used to frequent intimated lusting after my late FIL once (after he'd left shop) younger assistant looked horrified (FIL was my height but considerably heavier and I'm not exactly skinny) - although he was a charming (really not being sarcy) chap and she said "imagine how good you'd feel about your own shape awking up next to him".

arrgh awking=waking of course

Hooray forKirst, 48, OWW, Lubey, Mama, Bant and anyone else loved up & I have forgotten, apologies.
Just spent the day trying to re-assemble IKEA shelves & my brain hurts!
Not re-assembled yet- await my genius DS on Tues who will probably sort out, no problem.
Meet Up guy & I planning a few days away. He in charge of lodging -apologies here to men, but what is with the last minute thing? He cannot find any accommodation 2 days running ( we looking for Sat & Sun, which is tricky, I admit) Anyway, he has found Sunday, but we will be camping on Sat. Don't mind, I can do the occasional tent & bag thing, & besides want to show him I am a good sport. Sex in a tent, anyone? I think that will be a cuddle- only night!

Oh wow Kirsty I can feel your grin radiating off the message. Sounds like the perfectly perfect day.

Lorna I would love to claim to be leggy, but unfortunately they are mainly a store room for poor diet choices and refuse to be unpacked regardless of squating, running or attacking them with creams and lotions. O.K. feeling a new song coming on, something to do with singing it LOUD and singing it PROUD about being 5'7. Stumped, cannot think of a thing, although Gloria Gaynor keeps threatening to jump in with 'I will survive, as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive, I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give, I will survive, hey hey ....' (Sorry, my habit in life, a song for every situation). , maybe that is the thing that surfaces on date 4-6 and that is why they start backing away slowly....

"I want it tall "by queen
" Legs go crazy" by One Direction
Oh I'm sure I can think of more.... Give me a min !! Hehe

Sounds bloody wonderful Kirsty

Moan Embrace the great outdoors

Overtheraenbow loved em.

DFU, Rose Breaking bad awesome - who would have thunk a series basically based on organic chemistry could be so thrilling? I watch with DD - we're on Season 5.

OK, have been brave and created first PoF profile... then promptly hidden it...

I want to get out there but I've become a shrinking violet!

good luck MsApprehension you can always post what's happening on here if you need help.

sorry DFU I went in a bit harsh on the profile review, but I felt sure you could take it in good spirit! I'd be interested to know if everyone had similar comments or if I'm the touchiest one also did we all say the same thing on the photos?

SORRY IGNORE THAT LAST MESSAGE I FORGOT THIS WAS AN OPEN THREAD.

what goes on on Dating Thread stays on Dating Thread, etc.... [smil]

fellow lurker lurkinglorna, I too have reviewed and recommended. Am waiting anxiously to see if we have broken DFU, he has disappeared for a bit, either to watch those new DVD's or he is rocking in a corner.

Good luck MsApprehension it's a very scary thing to do, but well done on taking the first step.

Evening fellow threadees

Thanks again for the feedback guys. I've made some changes as per feedback but will save some for when I've had a successful photo session (so don't hold your collective breaths).

DFU just seen that you were after feedback. Have you had enough, or are you looking for more?

MsApprehension welcome & great name. First step taken, the rest will follow when you're ready, but good to have you aboard.

Loving the loved up ones, hating not being part of the petite party (5' 6") and I love a really tall man but almost never attract one. I liked feeling feminine and less of a lump when with a tall and chunky man ... sad it didn't last but there's stuff I won't compromise even for that feeling.

Here's hoping that thread woo keeps working its magic

At 5ft8 I have a nightmare of a time finding a bloke tall enough :( my ex was my height and I did feel like a bit of a giant around him if I wanted to wear heels. I'd say that 6ft+ is my ideal height for a guy but all the tall men seem to have been snatched by tiny women. Leave some for us taller ladies, please?!

Also, I think this has been mentioned before but men totally lie about their height on their profiles! If someone is 5ft8 I'd rather they say that than claim to be 6ft. It's not as though I'm not going to notice when I meet them! Weight variation doesn't bother me so much as my weight fluctuates from week-to-week these days!

Didn't hear anything from Hillman yesterday. I dropped him a casual text saying that my dress shopping plans had been scuppered and asking if he was up to much but didn't get a reply until about half an hour ago which said:

Yeah had a pretty lazy slightly hungover day yesterday! Was a fun night though

I don't really know how to respond so I've just left it. Perhaps he is too boring for me :/

In other news, I think I mentioned a guy I'd had a casual thing with previously and how we've been talking almost every day...chatted a lot again today. Not just flirty chat either - it's almost as though we're friends now too. Strange.

I have hopefully replied to all now - thanks for all feedback, mostly the same themes and no-one too harsh at all - very helpful and constructive - I will get onto it in the morning
joyless would love your feedback - you have my fish name already!

Actually the only slight variations were on photos but not much - need to get someone else to take 'em rather than using the self-timer I think.

spangled yeah I'd leave it.

I don't really gravitate towards any height at all! I've accepted everything from 5'4 up to 6'4 and was online chatting with 5'3 for ages (he didn't follow through). One great lover I had was shorter than me.

It's hard enough finding someone who "matches up" and likes me without worrying about trivial shit like that.

I think taller is "nicer" in quite an abstract aesthetic way, but its a bit like saying "men like big tits and long legs in short skirts" its more "as part of a good overall package that appeals". Slouchy guy was 6'2 and really not physically "there" at all.

There's nothing sexier than a good looking young couple where she's taller than him and on his arm and she's wearing heels/standing up straight. Confidence is hot.

I'd consider myself fairly confident but I don't feel sexy if I'm vastly taller than my bloke. I feel massive and uncomfortable. personal preference I guess!

very true "spangled* sorry I think I'm in a "sharp and PMTish" mood

so being fairly ranty and annoying...

It's okay lurking...passes the chocolate cake

spangled
