The dating thread 65

[Queenofthedrivensnow]

I'd bet you're already thinking about last guy less and less Broken

Oneday... Hang in there, he will definitely text, no doubt.

When's the next date with Donny Hormonal?

Hi OneDay He didn't bitch about his ex - far from it - she just came up quite a few times in the conversation. Anyway had a coffee with one of my single Mum friends today and she has dated him too! They went out on 3 dates earlier in the year. He phoned her to say he didn't feel there was a spark (after being very full on with text messages) so they didn't have a 4th date. She also said he spoke a lot about his ex. He has texted me about going on another date and I'm really undecided what to do now. Help!

Oh dear that's a very awkward one Putiton, if was me I wouldn't go but easy to say I guess.

Poffed I got second date with Donny tomorrow we going to German Xmas market n then for a meal. Can't decide whether to let him stay as it not fair him getting hotel again

Thanks Hormonal couldn't believe it! Have decided not to go out again. Just need to find a nice way to tell him. He is clearly not over his wife - he did tell me he has dated 40-50 different women in the past couple of years - I think he is probably looking for a woman just like his wife!

Wow Putiton! That's a first for me, I really don't know what I'd do in your position!
On the one hand just because he didn't take things further with your friend doesn't mean it won't be different with you... On the other would you find it weird dating the same guy as her?
Hormonal that sounds like a great idea for a date...is it a sure thing that you're going to end up dtd? If not I would let him check in to a hotel one more time...

Putit you could be honest and gently say you think he may not be over the ex.

I am in the midst of prep for my date with 'I a little bit not emotionally over last relationship.' Had a bit of a crap day so am looking forward to a drink or two. Just hoping his pic is not from 15yrs ago and a man who looks like my dad turns up.

Hi powpow They've been divorced for 5 years - god would hate to think that my STBXH was still droning on about me after 5 years!!

Good Luck with your date!! Enjoy your

No Poffed I'm not even considering DTD with him at mo and I really don't think it's on his agenda. He is genuinely sincere which makes a refreshing change. Still feel bad about him footing a bill tho as he insists on paying! How r things with your guy at mo?

Good luck Powpow fingers crossed he not an old guy

Good evening ladies!

Putit - I think you're right, if he's still talking lots about his ex then he's got issues to work through! 40 - 50 women is a heck of a lot of women too!

Powpow - enjoy your date and a drink or two. Look forward to the post-date report - hopefully he doesn't look like your dad!

Hormonal - only let him stay if you want to dtd! Otherwise hotel.

Broken - so pleased to hear he's treating you well. Fingers crossed this one will be a good one.

I'm feeling better today post-breakup with the detective. He was letting me down constantly and if he couldn't prioritize me just once a week then it would never have worked. My emotions have been all over the place lately, feeling much calmer today and have planned a lovely weekend of Christmassy stuff with the kids.

I've decided to go back on POF and see what's out there. Slim pickings so far...

Aw it's a shame Sooper but like u say if he not willing to compromise then it's not going to get any better and we are the prize!!

Yes I'm still on POF too, a sexy Marine has been messaging me

There was a kiss!!!!!!

Queen!

Tell us more...

Queen elaborate!!

Hormonal I'd only have him stay over if you want him to not just because you feel guilty about a hotel bill, it sounds like he's happy to go to the hotel anyway?

Putiton the friend having dated him thing wouldn't bother me, but if he's a serial going-on-about-his-ex-er then yeah that'd be a fairly big concern. What are you going to say?

Broken sounding promising!!

So my guy.....texted this evening :-) whilst I was still on shift and then ended up on the phone for nearly an hour when I got in. He said he had wanted to call me last night but then had fallen asleep straight after dinner and woken up in the early hours in the same spot and felt a bit guilty! Seems like we're both looking forward to Saturday. Planning to spend all day together until I have other plans on Sunday morning . This is going swimmingly well overall. It's terrifying. Even managing to negotiate the minor gossip at work that I'm dating someone a colleague lives with (and people know that I have been multiple dating...although not really any more!). There was a suggestion that I invite him to the xmas do. Errr, no.

In between dates 5 and 6. I went in on the way home to see him and he finally got over himself. God it was a fantastic kiss! AmaZing chemistry - well for me anyway

Good news, Queen. Glad you didn't give up!

That's great news queen and broken

Glad he text you don't, was wondering at work yesterday if he had!

Powpow - how did it go with old guy?

Well I think I'm getting too emotionally attached...it's only been three dates, just over a week (seems longer!) he normally e-mails to say good night...but didn't last night and he knew I had a bad day at work. Sounds so petty I know, but feel quite down about it. Feel like going silent on him in retaliation, but he probably won't even realise what I'm upset about will he? How do you stop yourself getting emotionally attached when these things are going well?

Great news, Queen.

sounds good, broken.

well geeky is still texting but no date 4 arrangements yet. I told him I'd bought a new onesie and he said he hopes he gets to see it. This is a reference to the fact that I first seduced him in a onesie!

But I want a date! We last saw each other on Tuesday. What do I do - just wait? Is this a bad sign? He's definitely not looking around/seeing anyone else.

I wish I knew, Saturn. I am so emotionally attached.

I know where you are coming from don't...I last saw him on Tuesday and no arrangements for date 4 yet!

Wish I could stop checking my e-mails as just making me feel worse when haven't had one from him

dont has he always suggested dates so far? If so could it be your 'turn' to suggest something to do?

saturn haha join our boat. Someone else eluded up thread to the brilliant irony that as soon as we do find someone we like we immediately start getting paranoid about it!!

Thanks one day...slightly reassuring to know this is 'normal'
