The Dating Thread 68.

[Bant]

Support for everyone, dating online or in real life.

No judginess, no shoutiness. Nuff said.

All this bickering does not make this thread a nice place to turn to for support at the moment.

Thank you for the replies to my early post, I appreciate it. This thread really depends upon the kindness of strangers! We all support each other through the often brutal process of OD - let's not be brutal with each other!

Like Poff I think I will take a little break from the thread until things have calmed down.

It would be a shock. Someone I know had a date with someone that turned up in a wheelchair with a carer.... She was only upset and shocked because he didn't mention it prior to the date, and he should have.

I was trying to make the point that people have to accept other people's posting styles sometimes - that goes all ways on this thread, any thread, come to that. Why don't we just all start again?

But surely you're allowed to ask them to stop posting like that without being told basically to fuck off, talisa?

I only ever post from my iPad or phone, Master. I don't have a computer. It is fiddly, but I've always made the effort because I didn't want to appear shouty. Just sayin'

Yes I do remember those posts about people not telling a potential date about something pretty significant BEFORE they meet, yes. Being smaller than their profile states, older or, yes, having one foot...I don't remember anyone taking the piss particularly though...
I know a couple of people in real life who are similar in many ways to how I feel Master is... maybe she does overdo the reaction to somebody's dilemma and a more sensitive person might withdraw and not feel they can post again...personally though I get a mainly warm and caring vibe from her towards us...not towards exes or flakes etc.
She let rip at me a couple of times too...never felt bullied though

Flipper, can you stop posting in italics please, it makes me feel like I'm drunk

Yes! That was sort of my point, but it's lost in the mire somewhat.

I was trying to explain that you asking someone to stop internet shouting was reasonable. And then master accused you and others of bullying - and I was trying to make the point that those sorts of comments could also be construed as bullying to some people.

Anywaaaaay. It's all got a bit ridick now.

Oh, Bant, you wag...

OK.

Much love people. For anyone that is interested I am off out on a DATE!
Things are looking good for me and keep your fingers crossed.

Much love Master. You have been nothing but supportive to me and I am grateful for it!

Will take my buns with me and refrain from commenting further.

68's a dud, think I'll wait for 69

Good luck , biscuits

Lies who with, I'm sooooo lost. Have fun Lovely, if you do end up dtd, PLEASE have an orgasm for me! Suffering from dick withdrawal symptoms.

Sex fixes so many things.

As lies has reminded us, this is a dating thread!

Have a lovely time tonight, thanks for your lovely comments.

Quick recap...seventh date, nine days....same guy! Swoon...

Thanks Bant

....going!

...maybe not...you too Poff

Definitely going this time....

Best of luck lies

Gone yet?

Don't know which is worse...the original sin or the smug comments afterwards...if I didn't know any better i'd say this thread was well and truly sabotaged, quite possibly for fun...
I'm bowing out now too..have said my piece!

Good on you all who were big enough to see my point of view, whether or not you agreed with it..

Master "Suffering from dick withdrawal symptoms"???!!!

What, squelchy noises and fanny farts? Creeping damp patch?

Flipper unless I misunderstand you, but my sexual encounters are usually mindblowing (I wanted to use caps, uuurrrggghhhh). Are you saying you don't miss it, I'm assuming yore not engaging in sexual activities??? I want it EVERYDAY ALL DAY (epic fail)! Dick on tap would be a dream come true for me.

Master - I was able to read that one because it wasn't too shouty :)

Thanks I really do appreciate it.

Although I now have a weird mental image of dick on tap and it would make it very difficult for me to drink a glass of water

Hi all. Just popped back in after last night, thought I'd start posting a bit more often again. I see there has been some development since....

Sorry for my part in it all last night. I'd hate to think that an open, caring forum for ODers no longer exists, and I'd like to think that this thread can accommodate oldies and newbies - there has always been a good balance as far as I can tell.

Good luck to tonight's daters! Are loo updates still mandatory?!

yore??? WTF.

Bant I'd drink other things from a dick tap, I'd also be able to mount it/ride it anytime I wanted, BLISS!

Catching up on Sherlock, his current client is hiring him because she's been silently dumped, she went to his flat only to find it didn't exist, she checked with landlord and he says the person who lived there died of a heart attack years ago, so she's convinced she's dating a ghost! Now how many of us can relate to that craziness????? Made me giggle

Loo updates are still one of the dating rules, wagonwheels

See master, I haven't watched a single episode of Sherlock yet. I was going to get the box set. And it's ruined for me now. Ruined!
