You certainly do Flora Grin

Went on a date last night with, shall we call him Mr Telecoms. Nice guy, I wasn't attracted to him at all. Did the "buy him a drink back" thing and came clean (I tend not to waste time and beat about the bush, am ok about anyone doing that too). Have a couple more "pets" in the bag Grin

Tinks42 · 04/01/2014 20:33

Laughs at MasterPO. Friend and I used to send the worst of the worst to each other, very naughty indeed. We even spoke to the same guy once and answered each others questions (he was messaging us both) very bad form Grin

I'm definitely more of a texter than talker. Today's date has sent a few texts since. Latest one he has invited me to his house tonight. Am out walking (trying to get rid of Christmas jiggles) trying to think up of a polite brush off. Can't walk and read at same time so must catch up on everyone else's happenings when I get home.

MasterP0 · 04/01/2014 21:17

Why do they post pix of their cars/motorbikes, to me it SCREAMS SHOW OFF!

Pow he's EAGER!!! He needs to pace himself, maybe refer him to this thread hahahaha! Maybe, if YOU liked him you would've taken him up on his offer!?!?!

After 13 days of a chest infection, tension headaches, blocked painful ears/nose and twice practically begging my GP for antibiotics/medication, I've just returned from the walk-in centre and he's given me some muscle relaxants/antibiotics and I feel SOOOOO MUCH BETTER already! YAY ME!!!!!!

Or holding a HUGE fish, yuck.....

powpow80 · 04/01/2014 21:28

Woo hoo to finally getting some medication Master.

Way too keen for my liking. If I did like him I still wouldn't have gone. Two dates in one day is a bit much. Told him I was out walking and wouldn't be in the mood to go anywhere when I got home.

Evening newbie here. Too raw to do proper OD yet but have messed around with Tinder as it doesn't seem so cruel.

Anyway matched with someone today who texts me, via tinder, his mobile number. Not being funny but why would I want to talk to someone immediately - I would rather text for a couple of days then see. Is this normal on OD? I'm not going to ring him anyway but just put me off immediately as being too keen :-)

Tinks42 · 04/01/2014 21:39

Hiya to another newbie. I also wouldn't talk to someone after one message, very mad really. No, it's not normal itwill, not in my book anyway.

LiesDamnLiesandSoggybiscuits · 04/01/2014 21:47

Hi itwill.
Used to freak me out too. Think the longer you have done OD the more you get used to it...it's the way some people are.

HOWEVER, you do what YOU are comfortable with at all times. Sometimes your gut just says no....

Santaclaws · 04/01/2014 21:58

Evening everybody. :) am thinking of signing up to Match again. Shall I? What do you all think? I see my ex of three months is back on there :( even tough he said he would never go on it again if we were to split

DeliberatelyDreaming · 04/01/2014 22:22

I can't comment on Match SC as I didn't ever try it Scrooge who thinks love shouldn't cost I used POF, OK cupid, Smooch and Free Dating. I had most luck with POF followed by Smooch.

MasterP0 · 04/01/2014 22:33

Waves @ ItWill

Santa had a few dates from match?com! but I just no longer feel the need to pay to meet assholes! I've seen some of my match.com matches on POF. But you just never know, go on try your luck! I think the theory is/was that if they are paying for it, then they must be more serious about finding love?!?! Why don't you look out for the free weekend pass promotion and take it from there???

Are okCupid/Smooch free???? Off to register......

OP posts:
MasterP0 · 04/01/2014 22:47

I signed up to OkCupid, I'm bored already! YAWN! Will complete it another time, maybe! Feels like recycling foreskin, there's just no need..........

SIGH SIGH SIGH

DeliberatelyDreaming · 04/01/2014 22:58

I didn't like OkCupid very much. I had one date from there with a guy who was certainly 'different'. When I said I felt no spark he proceeded to send me cock shots, not as in the male member, but actual cockerels. WTAF Hmm

Santaclaws · 04/01/2014 23:17

dreaming Grin at cockshots. Well I've done it probably mad to do it. Oh well. I see my ex has come up as having viewed me 2 days ago

shanelle5 · 04/01/2014 23:23

Seems like there had been a influx of newbies today - me included..Must be the time of year Smile
So carpenter guy who brushed my offer of coffee off messaged me several times this afternoon then asked for my mobile number to txt etc which I guess is progress albeit a little slower than I would like, he's either shy/nervous or something else (God Im so cynical) He seems uber polite and sweet so far, a bit too good to be true and you know the old saying... Confused

HanselandGretel · 04/01/2014 23:24

Cockerals??!! Hilarious!

Number 4 has been back in touch, and with a bit of hint dropping from me has suggested a coffee next weekend...all good, but a week is a long time in politics as they say...will see.

Tinks42 · 04/01/2014 23:41

There's a beekeeper on POF if you care to look at him DD Grin Im on OKCupid and Badoo (both free and ridiculous).

Ive paid for "mature free and single" which is a conglomerate of many, but still crap.

Ive paid for match once, same, crap.....

But, who's to say the "one" might be on any one of them.

DeliberatelyDreaming · 04/01/2014 23:47

Oops! I did send Mr OMG a text, but after a bottle of wine. I am now waiting for a text, but doubt I will get one. Funny what wine does to your communication skills Grin Mr Zany has his DS this weekend but has been texting, so sweet, I have done the best thing. I SO love you on this thread Thanks.

The cockerel is 100% true I promise, what a dick head eh?

Tinks42 · 04/01/2014 23:51

What did you text Mr OMG then DD? it wasn't a dump one then huh? tutut. Never mind though ay. Ive just been messaged by a "MrWriggly", is he a worm then Grin How can I really seriously correspond with Mr Wriggly? dear dear dear. Had to tell Mr StumpyTroll to change his name too....

DeliberatelyDreaming · 04/01/2014 23:59

Tinks I told him to go forth and multiply but in not such a nice way Angry It had to be done and with a bottle of Dutch courage was made easier.

I LOVE the names we have on here for OD men (and woman, hiya Bant). I wonder what they would say if they knew what we called them? Mr Zany would laugh and agree Grin

Tinks42 · 05/01/2014 00:04

Good for you DD. Don't expect a reply though, he's slithered back under the rock he came from Hmm The names I just told you were their online dating names Grin

OneDayWhenIGrowUp · 05/01/2014 00:07

itwillgetbetter when that guy sent you his number, rather than a voice call, he may have been suggesting SMS texting rather than via the tinder app? When I've been messaging online with someone and it gets tedious logging in to the site we switch to texts.

DeliberatelyDreaming · 05/01/2014 00:14

Does anyone have dates tomorrow? I am going to have to live vicariously through you. My DD1 was sent home from work sick today so I have told Mr Zany not to come over until we know what is wrong with her as he is due back at work Monday.

Tink too true, so far no response, as you say. It's all laughable really to think I would compare him to Mr Zany.

Santaclaws · 05/01/2014 06:25

Well I've got a date! Actually it's with someone I had one date with last time I was on match. I saw him once he was ok but no great spark and we didn't see eachother again because he messaged and said someone he'd seen a couple of times before me was interested in a relationship so he didn't think it would be fair

Maybe I shouldn't be seeing him again but on the other hand maybe he was just honest and at least didn't do the silent/ disappearing thing. So I will see him Tuesday
