The dating thread 65

[Queenofthedrivensnow]

See I could do that if I knew for sure that was all it was... He just keeps laying it in so thick when we meet... Lots of talk about us being a couple etc. but then crap communication all week!
Maybe he likes the idea of me being exclusive, admitting we were fuckbuddys would mean I could go elsewhere too?

Saturn, geeky guy sent me 15 texts yesterday and about 5 today - even though he's away for the weekend. So yeah, I think he's pretty keen ;)

I agree with the dress option-hormonal. Hope you have fun!

well he hasn't e-mailed me...guess that's my first dating lesson learned. Well can't say I didn't enjoy it!

Obviously not the success I thought it was poffed!

Thanks don't

Btw, novice that I am, I would go for dress option too hormonal

Got solicitor date tomorrow, he's moved it to 2pm..and is pretty inconstant with texts or messages so I still dunno where we're meeting! Another guy chats all the time, not sure i fanxy him but we have so much in common...hmm...I don't know what to do. I've half a feeling I'll be stood like a lemon tomorrow if solicitor doesn't show :-/

Oh and the dress, definitely te dress!

The thing is, Saturn - I don't think having sex on a second date would put off the right guy. Wait and see - there is time yet for him to email you.

Saturn, I slept with the last guy on my second date (he hates 'easy women') we were together for three years ;)

Thanks don't and stupid...think I was a bit premature there...he e-mailed! Feel so relieved!!! He really enjoyed this evening (well he went into more detail than that, but that was basic jist of it!)

Hope everything goes ok with solicitor tomorrow stupid

saturn yeah, glad he replied, sounds positive, any plans for next
shag date?

stupid some blokes are just a bit crap with texts before a date as they don't know you! I'm sure once you wow him on the date it will be different

And def the dress hornonal

Nice one Saturn

Gaga this is the guy I've been seeing since May! Lol

Can't wait to hear how date goes tomorrow Stupid... Good luck

Eeeeek!!! Haha!

I may have organised a last minute if I get stood up...I am not a slut, I am not a slut.... ;)

Don't blame you Stupid, it's a Saturday night after all.

Right it's settled I'm going with the dress, black tights (not hold ups as dress too short ) and long boots with my leather biker jacket. Just won't have to eat all day as dress shows every lump n bump

Glad to hear all these dates are going so well.

I have a second date with my Wednesday Lunch man this evening, and I have a lunch first non-date too.

Good luck to everyone who has dates this weekend!

Geeky guy said he's been telling his friend about me :)

That's lovely! It sounds like he really likes you!

I was on to a friend last night trying to arrange a night out, with all this dating going on does anyone else feel they've neglected their friendships a wee bit? Especially those of you with kids... I seem to plan dates around nights that my kids are with their dad... Doesn't leave much time to see my mates..

poff it is hard fitting friends and family in around dates, however my few DC free nights tend to be for dates, as I invite friends over when I have DC here.
That said I would prioritise a girly night out defo

dont that's a good sign, very sweet

stupidhead that's just great time management

Damn. Tall solicitor cancelled as he's stuck in London on business..he says. I kind of like a lot of texts and he's pretty rubbish on that. So what's a girl alone on a Saturday night to do? Option number 2!!! 6'7" rock dj at 7:30 tonight scary!!!!

Tbh I'm more of a rock chick so at least I won't have to worry about what to wear :) good luck to you all and yes I'll toilet update!

Well that sounds like a plan, then stupidhead.

I'm having a crisis of confidence today.

Need to snap out of it, though. I've got a lunch date in 2 hours and I'm current wet and muddy after exercising in the park.

Back again for some more advice from all you dating experts, please.

Messaged someone who sounds nice on GS.
Got a standard GM selected message saying would like to reply, but don't have a subscription. Will reply when I do.
Now ...

1. do I wait - my subscription runs out in a few weeks and I am not planning on renewing it.
2. do I send him my email (or an email I set up)

Suppose he is 'just browsing' - fair enough in my book, but is there a problem I can't see?

Stupidhead Rock Man sounds great! Don't sweat about Mr Solicitor, in fact perhaps let him know you've now made 'other plans' - it might keep him on his toes & realise you're not hanging about.

Can I ask a bit of advice too please? I met a guy online about 6wks ago. We've met twice and he's ace. We have massive amounts in common, he's v keen without being too forward and we just get on great.

My issue is trying not to get too carried away. I only separated from my h in July & the divorce isn't finalised yet. I don't think I'm ready at all for a relationship yet (yes I know, why was I on pof??!) and I actually didn't expect to meet anyone at all for ages yet.

So while I'm desperately trying to play it cool, I think I'm really falling for this guy. We've been texting every single day for 6 weeks. He knows my situation & is totally cool with it. He's not pushing to see me more often but it's clear that we're both desperate to see each other again.

So I've only actually met him twice so I barely know him at all. I'm not due to see him for another week which 'in theory' suits me fine as I'm supposed to be taking it slow.

So why do I need to see him again NOW? Please help me keep my feet on the ground & not take this too seriously. I get the feeling I'm just leaping into it after being in such an unhappy marriage for donkey's years. But he makes me smile so much & there haven't been many of those for a long time..
