The Dating Thread - episode 61

BOOM!

WFF how did you leave it yesterday? Maybe tomorrow morning or later tonight you could send a "soft sell" text?

"was lovely chatting to you on Sunday, please do feel free to give me a shout if you fancy catching up again"

Then you know you've actually expressed an interest and can do no more (don't mention MY oven )

So...I've had a reply...smileys and kisses thanking me for a lovely afternoon. No mention of meeting up again (yet?).

Ah well, it was nice.

Wish I hadn't posted this now...

It was a nice afternoon.

WFF goes back to the oven.

Yes, Wine I read the Italian architects text a few times (ride, hmmm, double entendre maybe? ) no, he just really did want to go on a bike ride.

And Dr Pashing, the heroic doctor who conducts examinations of ladies in the street, hasn't texted yet, made a loose arrangement to meet tomorrow though?

Might leave it, I dunno.

WFF did you text him first then? either way it's all good

Lorna Malcolm Tucker isn't my thing but Jeremy Paxman on the other hand......
'come on, I'll have to hurry you'
And he has been recently bearded

The things he could do with that long nose of his....

He is now texting. Nice encouraging stuff.

My oven floor is sparkling.

Patience and I have nothing to say to each other

WFF enjoy!

Nora you are like Charlie Bucket and someone will come along soon and give you the whole damn chocolate factory.

WFF that is really good! Excellent stuff.

I'm not work working at mo which he knows he even knew before family so bit concerned about dating tho . He was nice enough to travel to me but I can't expect him to keep doing that tho , if I was working I'd pay my way so now concernd

kitty hi!

are you saying your ex you've seen on pof used to travel out to see you?

i feel you there, its always a bit difficult when you've got different budgets and doing long distance...

Fortunately, OWW at least I'm not sharing a bed with 4 octogenarians.

He just texted to say that his (grown up) children and grandchildren spotted us kissing

No I always used to go to my ex it was only next town but now money very tight I have a budget of 5 pound a week for petrol I have been thinking today n I can't afford to date but like this bloke

WFF

kittykat I wouldn't let it stop you, just go for cheaper stuff (a lot of guys are a bit funny about paying for the first few dates anyway ) I probably haven't been able to afford to date for the last 3 years - it's a bit weird sitting there with someone who can afford to go out loads, take holidays --buy a house casually without even having seen it - and I'm skipping taking the bus to save money. But you can't let it stop you doing things? If the guy is a good guy he'll understand.

Paxman?

WFF I feel for you with your impatience, I am the same! All sounding good so far though

I'm living on charity so feel guilty if I go out

Joined okC and can't keep up with the messages! This didnt happen on POF, put a different pic up, clearly its better!

Oops that's way too many exclamations, can you tell I'm a giddy kipper

Yes, Paxman that man is meeeeeeean

kitty i've pretty much always worked (apart from when married, ex pays everything kid related).

i'm more than happy for my taxes to go on benefits - it's not "charity", its the way the system works and if i was in between work i wouldn't feel embarrassed about signing on. of course you should be dating and having a life, please stop feeling guilty about going out.

the only thing i think about people out of work is i remember to buy all the drinks in if we're on a night out

my friends have the same point of view, the shit that's in the daily mail saying you shouldn't have a life if you're poor is just shit and no-one decent or worth knowing believes it.

don't judge yourself or feel guilty is what i'm saying.

Kitty there's loads of cheap/free stuff especially in the summer - walks, picnic, free festivals, food festivals, markets/window shopping/mooching, galleries, quick coffee/drink - it's definitely doable.

Good stuff Flo - I got very poor results on OkC but I know loads of people on here have good results.

go FloJo

Thanks guys I only lost my job as I stood up for myself n didn't bow down to t he breast feeding mafia that is so called health workers. I worked since I was 17 n hate this . I live on 70 a week I don't get housing benefit and have gone without to pay vet bills so it nice to have ppl being nice
