The Dating Thread - episode 60

[Djangounhinged]

If I may?

I'm so far behind....

Quick pop in before date two, with short SJ, who I'm hoping will continue to prove size doesn't matter - on phone cant see who it was having similar worries Scrazy

Also to say my three kids bully me remorselessly about my short vowels, despite the fact I was always the posh bird when in the land of gradelyness!

Will try for a loo update. Wish me luck

Secretservice - Good Luck.

dad do I know you? The Kirsty Walk analogy again!!! I don't think I look anything like her but maybe every 40 plus intelligent ( ie: polysyllabic ) woman gets compared to her.... Er or is it just me , in which case maybe I do bear a passing resemblance !!

The Irish boy said I looked sexy , but I think his Oedipus complex was getting in the way of his vision!!

Anyway Tigger(!!) sounded nice , local and in work and a newbie ... Maybe I can break him in!! Oh and he's the same age as me ( yay at last!!) will await photo !! Not that I'm shallow
well only a bit

kin 'keyholder " explain more??!!

Hmm. Just got a FB message from mermaid, saying she had a great time with me and didn't want to leave. And that she may fly down to where I'm staying when I'm over in California in September (I'm at hers the first couple of nights as I'm going to a concert there) - then she goes on to ask me to email her the photo I'd attached to a FB message as it hasn't worked via FB.

However when she looks at her email she'll see I sent it already and said that I'd had a great time, she'd left to early and I've been grinning since I saw her. And mentioning her 'matching quirks' comment.

So either we're both independently admitting we like each other a lot, or.. No that's what it looks like

Damn Facebook autocorrect... I told the mermaid 'I've already mailed you' and it corrected to 'nailed'...

Now there's a Freudian slip for you

Wine I'm not in any rush TBH - certainly not to jump into bed with someone and then feel bad about it.

Overtheraenbow I (perhaps inadvisedly) have listed a lot of polysyllabic women who I find attractive on my POF profile (although I left KW off it) to try and give people an idea. It was random, you could just as easily have been Victoria Derbyshire or Victora Coren or Victoria Wood.

Just snorted wine, Bant. That's too good to be true!

Of course, Nora. Especially you, lovely.

Dad, really that long?

Recently had that particualry itch scratched by a friend after a whole 7 months, and I thought that was bad....

'I've already nailed you' grin

Guys, my apologies in advance for an entirely me, me, me post but ...

I've decided to shuffle off the sofa and have re-done off my PoF and OKC profiles. Could I ask for feedback please? As many of you as are willing but with one proviso ... please, please, please be utterly honest, as brutal as necessary. I've only ever had feedback from people who know me in real life, so this will be really helpful. Would love both male and female opinions - I know that puts you on the spot bant, but you do have a great rep, although if Dad wants to give it a go too, I'd be delighted. Kin, Juliette, OWW if you have a mo ... but really, any & all opinions would be muchly appreciated.

If anyone would be willing to take a peak at my Times Encounters one as well, that would be fab.

Thanks my lovelies

Course I will Joy - do you want to pm me? Can't pm from my phone for some reason.

Flipper934 Haven't missed it as much as I thought I would - in the early days it was entirely understandable that DCs Mum wasn't interested and I'd gladly swap never doing it again for my DC (if I had to). However, now I'm single again I'm hoping celibacy isn't indefinite. At risk of being labelled a sexist git I wonder if it's easier for women to get that itch scratched - dunno really.

Joyless - will try my best - but you have to bear in mind I am 51 YO with a 5 YO DC so may not be your target market!

Secret good luck! Hope you have a great time, and manage a loo update :)

Flipper can I have some of your woo too please? I'm glad your wazzock showed his true colours sooner rather than later, what on earth??!

Wine my best offer along "wanna fuk" lines was "I'm just after a shag hen, if that's what you're looking for then I'm your man". I was quite impressed by his honesty, so I told him so. And no thanks. He might have got somewhere if he'd left the hen out...

Joyless I'm very happy to have a look, but it's not something I've done before - so if you have offers from more experienced profile viewers, I'll step aside!

Bant, love that Freudian slip! Now, does your email exchange shed new light on the Aruba situation.....?

Over I've just rejoined OKC too, fell out with a lot of the questions.

As usual, very few matches near to me, a couple of interesting messages though.... "Hi there, are you into BDSM at all?" "No."

Haha you sure it was a Freudian slip ( not an intentional flirt) bant ? Do you see it working as an LDR ? Or is that too LD? Saying that my exh did it for the ow and they're now shacked up here together so it can work and I wish them well after it all collapses round his sorry arse !

Djang The profile that got me ( loca/attractive/l same age ) was the one who openly admitted he was'happily' married and looking for. ' fun' and sexual encounters ! Well nothing like being honest. Just thank god I don't know him!!

Pof is childsplay in comparison!

Rae I had a message from a relatively normal seeming man on okc who, during the course of several messages, asked if I'd be his 'keyholder'. On further questioning this involved being the guardian of the key to his 'personal chastity device' and when I said that I was unwilling to have sexual exchanges with a stranger over the Internet, he asked if I'd have dinner with him, with the key on a necklace while I was wearing a low cut top.

Good luck Secret

Empathetic lack of shagging high five to Dad (slightly disturbing to write that but still )

Thanks A LOT to all who've offered, PMs sent out. Happy to receive all and any late comers too ... but back to the thread. FAR too much to catch up with on the last thread, suffice it to say that I'm continuing to love the loved-up ones and feeling the whilst being delighted for you.

WFF soooooo ... this German???
Pure welcome, love the idea of sticking up the thread. Is it too anal to laminate them as well ...?
mama agree with the thread opinion so far, you may know there's no chance due to biology, but does he realise and will it create awkwardness?
Flipper am loving the sound of your Very Good Feeling. Are you feeling some of it for yourself m'dear? If not, time for you to do some re-directing of woo ...
Wine oh dear, dear, dear ... agree with OWW, at least spell it right dear boy
Secret the shortest man I ever dated (an inch shorter than me) was dead dead sexy. Didn't last mind, although we are great friends (no, no benefitting as he's in lurve).
Kin keyholder ... WTF?
Bant I'm another one for mermaid and who's really not feeling it for Aruba. Time to fish or cut bait as they say ... As for that autocorrect freudian slip , its a corker!

Big big wave, welcome and warmest doodahs to everyone else - oh & lots of

kin I am just !!

(Raen realises she had lead a VERY sheltered life )

Woo coming your way, Django. And 'Hen' would have had me ripping my knickers off for him. Takes all sorts, I suppose.

Dad, that's good. And reassuring, that nice guys exist.

Plenty of woo just for me, Joy, and for you. The thing that dented my confidence a few weeks back has turned out to be very, very funny indeed, and has actually now boosted my confidence. Possibly to the extent that only someone as powerful as Simon Cowell would actually be worthy of me...
Happy to look at your profile, by the way.

Oh, I'm very disappointed in myself. I've realised that I started sentences with 'and' twice in that last post. That's a very poor show.

I apologise to the thread.
