Dating Thread 63- disappearers, wedding bells and dodgy eye candy, all are welcome

[hostesswithleastest]

Oops that title may have put off newcomers :D

Anyway.... the old thread is dead long live the new!

Hooray yoga !!

Hooray !!

Yoga that's fantastic! I remember how reticent you were about meeting SnS - it just goes to show, our instincts aren't always right (at least until you've met someone in real life). Delighted for you

That's so lovely Yoga, I'm really pleased for you.

Hooray for OWW, hooray for Yoga, hooray for Bant. All is fucking ace with the world thread.

And another plea for the delurkers to stick around. I too grow fat on emotional pizza and the dating thread could do with more actual dating updates.

Can't oblige with dating update - it's the usual (not moaning, bit busy at present anyway)
Yoga Top news
Bant welcome back
MNHQ Thanks from me for your moderation work, as Bill says it can't easy and it has to be one of the most thankless jobs known to humanity eh? (although working in a filling station wasn't much fun - getting paid minimum wage for working antisocial hours, being asked a million times a day for false receipts and told off about the price of fuel like it was anything to do with me)

DFU - I did the same. Esso?

Total in my case a thankfully long defunct gang of tossers called Petropolis UK
Thing is, no-one ever goes to the filling station thinking "I feel a bit down, I know I'll cheer myself up by buying a tank of petrol" so you're on a loser to start with

Never thought of it like that. But my place was very liberal so I could watch tv under the counter, have coffee and a cigarette. Don't think I'd get away with that now

Also, anyone who would cheer themselves up by buying a tank of petrol wouldn't be high on my list of people I'd like to spend time with.

Yoga yay!! It just seems to click into place doesn't it ?? I am delighted for you

Evening all.

I have been invited for a third date with a man and I just don't know whether to say yes or no. Should I be sure by now whether I really like him? I just don't know

He is extremely sweet and shy which makes it harder to decide.

Ms Make this the decider? Would it be torture?

MsApp. Everyone goes at their own pace, there's no right or wrong answer.

One thing to consider though, is that some people think the 3rd date is the norm for sleeping together. I'm not suggesting you should, but how would you feel about sex with this guy? Have you kissed yet? Do you want to find someone better?

Thanks DFU and unBant*. We sort of slightly kissed at the end of second date but it was a bit fumbly and awkward. Don't think sex is on the cards yet!

It wouldn't be torture. He is nice.

There's your answer then

Yay, Yoga!

MsA, I'd say the same. If you'd enjoy the date, go. Some people are growers.

I have agreed to drinks, I think two dinner dates in a week would be a bit much (and my bank balance wouldn't thank me!).

delurking to say hurray to the thread regrouping, I was gutted to think I was going to vicariously miss out on all the regular's tales of success...and empathise with those on the sofa. quick q while im here, still feeling a bit wibbly after high hopes for a 10 dates man that came to nowt, should I wait a bit and until I feel brand new, or get back into the fray? not 100% sure I could brush off a knock back (or 6) just now.

And from POF no less...will wonders never cease.

MsA - hard to say. In my experience I did tend to know after the first date whether there was any point in a second date. The couple of times I was unsure and went for a second date it was really wasn't worth it.

Aww kitty - you'll get there x

And another plea for the delurkers to stick around. I too grow fat on emotional pizza and the dating thread could do with more actual dating updates.

Je lurk donc je suis. Mais je ne date pas.
Decided to have a career change and am back at uni working my arse off.
Good to see lots of people happy. And good to see The Ministry of Truth having a little bit of common sense for a change.
(I'm sure The B52's helped....)

KittymcHot - dating when you're not sure you can cope is probably a bad idea. OWW threw herself back into the fray straight after a split and is very happy, other people find their confidence dented further.

The not-10-dates thing.. Whose decision was it to finish it? If yours then maybe dating is okay. If not, I'd take a sofa break

Can I ask if ike is now unbanned? I may have missed a post re this.

For the record I'm dating an okc woman and it is lovely if a bit unusual so far. I'm enjoying the ride

No Joblot Ike 's so banned, she can't even read the thread. Lovely and unusual are both good.

Kittym - if I felt fragile I'd keep well away from OD for a little while otherwise it's hard to believe in your unassailable fabulousness.

One good thing about this whole farrago is seeing so many new people on here, hello you lovely people.
