The dating thread 65

[Queenofthedrivensnow]

Well at least it's taking your mind off it Gaga!

Sooper your heart not init? Mine isn't either but have arranged another date for Thursday with Pharmacy man, he seems ok doesn't live too far n seems similar to me in his values etc. just one pic tho which I'm not bowled over by

Off him not it

I do hate it when they only put one photo on, always makes me think but what's to lose.

Oh shit... He has just text me to say goodnight, immediately followed by another text saying
'haha this is worth the wait...'

Don't think it was meant for me

Do I ignore or reply

Lady I text back with ?? Or what?

Oh Gaga ??
I'd probably text and say don't think that last one was meant for me, incase you're waiting for a reply to it..

Ugh sorry, gaga, might not be what you think though, did you reply in the end?

Hope everything works out really well stupidhead.

I'd say..'oops! I don't think that was for me!' And let him get out of it ;)

I had a date with a short Dave Grohl lookalike planned, we'd chat a lot through messages but because of work (both sides) couldn't manage to meet. I texted him yesterday saying I was back with my ex and I'm really sorry blah blah you're a lovely guy etc,.

He has texted me reams and reams of massive texts saying I was stupid and why couldn't I just meet him and see and was I a bullshitter and to prove I'm not by calling in to see him...man, think I dodged a bullet there. Scary intense. I'm so glad our shifts kept clashing!!!!

Oh my God stupid that's insane. Definitely dodged a bullet there.

Gaga did you text back in the end?

I am taking a break from pof for the moment. A tad disillusioned with the whole online dating thing. One guy who asked me out two weeks ago but date hasn't happened yet is texting a good bit. No mention of a date since originally asking. I replied to him yesterday asking if he actually wants to meet sometime or is he just looking for a text buddy. Radio silence since.

Lucky break there, Stupid!

Have you tried any other sites, powpow?

So I've had a couple of messages from London guy but nothing more, which is just as well as I think that's way to far away. I've had a couple from the Mr Jam so hopefully that will continue.

How do people find dating and being a single parent? Does it put people off? And how do you actually go out on dates?!

Hi everyone.

I received a text from I never stop talking about my ex man asking about another date. Texted him back to say it was lovely to meet him but we are at different places and good luck for the future. He texted me back to say he really would like to see me again so I just texted back Take Care x

I aslo had my first ever ONS on Saturday night. I can't believe I did it but it was amazing and I don't regret it at all. He was much younger and very attractive and it's given me such a lift. Anyone else done this? He was someone I met on a night out not from an OD site.

And thanks for the worries about me old ex actually new bf! My mantra now is 'I am the prize' thanks to you. It must be working as he proposed on Sunday, again last night, again today - even going as far as wanting to sell his motorbike to pay for it :-0 I've told him I want the full down on one knee carry on, he said he'd do that tonight!
I know he can't afford a ring though..yet! Better be a choofing huge one ;)

Putit! I replied but it didn't go through. That guy sounds like he needs counselling, some of the OD I met a few years back were the same. They want you to make them feel all better so -
1, they can replace their ex with you slotting in nicely and them not having to do any work
Or
2, they want you to counsel them and make the poor lambs feel all better so they can move on to some big tutted blonde.
Oh, or
3, you begin realising why their exes left in the first place!

Hope all goes well, stupidhead

Hope there is a good explanation for that text, gaga

geeky texted at 7.30 this morning, wishing me a good day and saying he's looking forward to seeing me tonight :)

Yes Stupid He told me he had been on between 40 - 50 dates and I now think it's because he's looking for his wife's double!

He was very chatty and friendly but I did feel like a counsellor by the time I left. He told me she was he childhood sweetheart, first woman he'd slept with, etc. a bit tmi on a first date!!

Great news about your new old boyfriend! A proposal? WOW! All the best x

stupidhead a proposal! could be a first for the thread
Sounds like you dodged a nutter in the other one, everything happens for a reason that date was obviously not meant to be.

putitonthelist sounds like the ONS was right for you and that's all that matters, especially if your still smiling from it

just I'm always honest that I have a DC, although I don't go into any details other than that initially.
As for getting out, I have a few friends who are very kind and DS goes for a sleepover so I can date. I maximise use of time, so when DS is at his dads I make the most of it.
How about coffee dates to start with on a first date, that way you can leave DC with friends for an hour?

I didn't reply to the text gutless we have planned to see each other Sunday, so will talk to him then as you can't beat a conversation at spotting if they are lying

Thanks Gaga - this is me >>>>>

Just read about the text. Could be completely innocent. I sent an OTT text to one of my girlfriends last week telling her how ACE she was with lots of kisses and accidently sent it to my STBXH who I'd just texted. So he could have easily sent that text to a mate/parent/sibling about something they'd given him.

My ex hubby has met someone whose the double of me! My kids think it's very weird

I sometimes struggle with fitting dates in but usually have a free night every weekend so usually plan around that.

Better face to face I reckon too Gaga.

Have fun Dontcall

Putiton nowt wrong with a ONS I've had a couple been vereee good for the cobwebs

at the cobwebs. hormonal that's hilarious! wait til the new woman see's you, she will be thinking what we are. I wouldn't be able to help myself in saying something to him

Well to be honest he's had a few girlfriends two of them were 10 years younger than him, which he was very proud of and now he's got serious with my doppelgänger

Nothing wrong with a ons, if you're ok with it that's all that matters!

Will you say yes, stupid?? How exciting! Maybe he needed to face losing you to realise what he actually had.we all get wedding invites, right? :D

putiton, mentioning exes at all on the first date would put me off massively, never mind all that! Turn off, much!

Mr Jam still messaging me. All feels very strange but nice getting a little thrill every time I get the notification!

List personally I'm a fan of a ONS. If non-casual prospects aren't an option. I'd much rather do that than faff around with a FWB etc who I may or may not like, and may or may not develop feelings for/have to fend off.

Evening all!

Gaga - eeek about the text! It might not be as dodgy as it seems, hopefully you'll be able to get to the bottom of it when you're face to face.

Stupid - wow! Do I need to buy a hat?!

Hormonal - that's funny, must feel a bit good that he's trying to replace you! Obviously won't be as good as the real thing!

Putit - ONS can be just what's in order sometimes!

I'm supposed to be going on a date with a guy tomorrow eve. He texted me earlier sounding all excited about it but hasn't got back to me yet with a plan...hoping he'll tell me if he's changed his mind!

Geeky just left this morning. Was a good night :)

Details!!!
