The Dating Thread 64

[unBant]

Here we go again...

All I've done in pof tonight is corrected everybody's crap spelling! So annoys me when somebody puts 'chow' when they mean 'ciao'

Chow???? God that's even a new one on me and I'm a right spelling freak!

People seriously write 'chow'? I did reply to my future husband, but only to take the piss.

Stupidhead those are some great stories.

Dontcallme - can't believe someone would think it appropriate to invite themselves around to your house in that manner!

I had a message that said that I sounded ''genuine and interesting'' and therefore it was surprising to find me on a dating site. Wonder what that says about him (seeing as he is also on a dating site and obviously thinks that people on dating sites are generally not genuine and not interesting!!). I do hate it when people rubbish dating sites when they are on them.

So, my rundown;
-looking forward to second date with Dimples tomorrow. Really quite disproportionately excited about it tbh. He has suggested a place that I know is reasonably near his flat (not so near as to be obvious though). There shall be no dtd though, nope nope. I may well leave things untidied as a self-deterrant!! Really like this one, think it has serious potential and do not want to mess it up.
-Traveller gave up after a few half-hearted replies from me, so I didn't have to actually turn him down for a second date. phew. thanks for that advice Bant.
-and now just got a series of texts from my colleague's housemate that I drunkenly kissed at a bus stop on a night out a few weeks ago! Asking me out for tomorrow night, rather last minute and already have date with Dimples.....so negotiating alternative. I would be a bit peeved that he has left it nearly 2 weeks to get in touch.....there is a reasonable excuse though, and he was a very sweet guy, so he gets one date.

Yes seriously as his opening line too...he replied to me saying 'duly noted' and he had changed it. Bet he had to cut n paste it from my message

Evening ladies so fourth date tomorrow evening with supermarket man, it's gone well. I'm looking forward to dinner sat night, I have a sitter for DS, but Sunday evening DS is away silo I've suggested DVD and night round mine
So when do you stop counting dates and call it something more??

Excited for date with geeky guy tomorrow!

Gaga - exciting!! Esp that you've already assumed that you'll want to see him Sunday after tomorrow! For me it would transition from dating someone to something more when a conversation was had that neither of us were going to date anyone else whilst we saw where things went.

Nutritious - search the thread for the rules worked out over the previous 63 dating threads.. 'Thick skin' or 'loo update' should find them for you..

I get messages saying I have great interests.....that box on my profile is blank!

Ham - 'interests' - another word for norks maybe?

Haha @ interests code for norks. I have a very good guy friend - I know what he means when he says a girl has lovely personalities.

brokenhearted - well that's what I am doing. Until I have dated someone long enough to know that there is potential and I want to see how it goes (ie make it exclusive), I am happily still online and accepting other dates. It doesn't mean I'm not very interested in the front-runner, as it were, but I am quite serious about looking for a relationship and don't have unlimited free time, and at the end of the day it's a numbers game, and I'm not going to put all my eggs in one basket until I am pretty sure that basket has realistic potential and is on the same page as me! (Mixed metaphors much!)

It's common, broken, it's known as the sweet trolley/sweet shop syndrome. It generally means they're looking for something better to come along. It probably means he's not that into you. Sorry.

It's only fair for people to not be exclusive when they've only met someone once or twice, but there comes a point when you have to have the 'exclusive' talk. Having this before you've DTD is probably a bad idea as they may turn out to be bad in bed, but shortly afterwards (if they're okay) is a good time. But it's down to individuals of course.

Thanks bant you were spot on. I didn't want to mention anything, but we DTD last week, will admit it wasn't earth shattering, but we were both nervous, but it felt right and laying there chatting was lovely.

We are seeing each other again this weekend, so will bring the conversation up, although he did drop into conversation last week that he is going to cancel his OD subscription

Gaga what do you want to get out of the conversation, do you want to write off other options for yourself after four dates?

And Broken if you're actively dating someone for weeks and weeks and at the same time they're still surfing the site then they're not that interested in you. I didn't think you were regularly dating anyone at the moment?

broken I thought you had recently finished something.... or was that someone else?

I might have sort of messaged my hhhooottt housemate last night whilst drunk, with erm initially a nice okish message saying "I apologise in advance for any drunkenness later whichmay (but prays it doesn't) include shouting, crying, giggling, dancing, stupid messaged and/or requests for sex. I have been taken over by the demon that is known as alcohol n am hoping that I silently crawl up the stairs n crash on my bed later.

As if that wasn't bad enough he messaged back with LOOOOOL
At which point my phone took advantage of my drunken state and message. "I blame you. its not like ive been getting any"
He responded with Oh God, LOL.

After that my phone took over and messaged, " well I miss my cuddles and its not like you've been coming to my bed" "and my sex, a girl has needs, this one more than most, three times a day should cover depending on quality

He was fortunately at work when I got in last night does night shifts. Might message and apologise for being drunk..........................

TUT TUT STUPID MISTAKES!!!!! Stop trying to corrupt the poor innocent boy and make him your next victim!!

In other news I have a date tomorrow night, someone I met on a train who asked for my number, lives localish but not too close

Loo update - I like geeky guy.

stupid I have a phone that does silly things too I think he will realise you were drunk, I would def text him, it will just show you how he has taken it, I am sure like most of us would be he is flattered.
Good luck with train man date

stranger well I've not been looking online since our third date, I've been busy thinking about him! so I suppose that answers my own question
However I still realise that either of us could suddenly realise it's not all that, so I'm entirely grounded in that sense.

Blimey Mistakes that is one epic drunken text convo!!

Bit quiet on POF. Where are my chosen ones, I wonder.....

Just one newby guy asking what I like chatting about - no marks for initiative or humour so far.

Are you all out on dates?

Just me home alone with virtual humourless POF man, then.

Now even humourless POF man has gone offline.....

I'll eat some
