The Dating game - welcome all daters to the DATING THREAD 70!!!

[girliefriend]

Thought it was my turn to start the thread!!

Perhaps he's checking up on you too. It is possible that you are both just feeling the same insecurities. I agree though OLD can be really difficult!

Hi ladies I am having a bit of a wobble, not sure why. Smallfeet came over this evening and tbh I wasn't really in the mood to see him. Which is weird as I really like him

I think maybe because its that time of the month, sex was def off the cards and I ended up feeling a bit on edge all evening

I have serious concerns over my ability to be in a relationship, I just sometimes want to be on my own. I have never lived with a man (other than platonic flat share type set ups) I just don't know if I can do it, having someone around when I feel like this just agitates me and then I get grumpy. Its not his fault at all, he has been nothing but lovely but I get the sense he has gone home tonight confused as to why I have been a bit meh all evening.

I need a slap right?!

He is meeting my dd tomos, am hoping will feel much better after a good nights sleep. I think the pill I am on isn't helping as been feeling generally quite flat for a few days, plus my periods have been twice as heavy and long

I think Jarlin might have a point.

May subconsciously you're worrying about introducing Smallfeet to your daughter because it feels like you're taking the relationship to the next level and now you're questioning the whole thing.

Then again, I went on the pill when I had no intention of dtd ever again purely to control increasingly debilitating monthly visits. I might be worth going back to the drs about it.

I don't know what it's like by you, but here the sun is shining. It looks like a lovely day so I hope it goes well.

Can I just ask, how long have you been seeing him for? Only curious because my daughter is asking to meet the man I'm seeing. I'm not sure I want that. I wouldn't attach any great significance to it or anything, but it would make life easier if the children met him. I haven't built him up into anything for them, but they know that I have a friend I visit when they are with their dad. I suppose I'm just considering the options really.

Just to clarify, I only said that my daughter's asking to show that she's not really against it. My son, on the other hand, has said he doesn't really want to meet him at the moment. It's not something that's in my plans really, just curious.

girlie it is perfectly normal to feel like that. I went through years of wanting be with a guy but not actually wanting to be with them all the time especially if you have children.

Santa I checked my profile several times a day right up until the subscription ended even thought I wasn't chatting to anyone, or even interested in looking at anyone.

I'm very nosy!

Maybe he's doing something similar.

Although at the same time, it did mean that, in the back of my mind I felt like I had options just in case he suddenly disappeared on me.

folkgirl I'm not sure he's been checking his Match profile but I do check whose sent me stuff if I get an email. It's his plenty of fish one that it looks like he's checking and he knows I'm not on that site. That is the problem with OLD isn't it, someone used the phrase "addicted to the sweet shop" I hope this isn't the case here

He's due over about 12 today and we plan spending the day and tonight together. I think he would be with me all of tomorrow as well but I really need some time to get my own stuff sorted before back at work Monday

girlie hope all goes well today for you

jarlin have a fantastic time. Good luck with the beds :)

Santa I know. I suppose what I was getting at was that whatever he's checking, it doesn't mean he's not into you, just that it is highly addictive!

I can understand your concern though that he's looking at the one you're not on, though.

Hope you enjoy your time with him today/tonight. Is there anyway you'd feel comfortable bringing it up again? I know I wouldn't, though, to be fair.

jarlin have a fab day today

Jarlin Hope you have a lovely day today, despite wrought iron beds and a not-so-private private bathroom. I'm sure it'll be a fab day. Sorry to hear about your brother, your sister and your dad - life can be truly shit at times. I hope your dad fully recovers soon and your sister receives good news.

Santa Hope you enjoy your day and night!

Jarlin - sounds like you are going through a really stressful time - I hope you manage to have a lovely time today. Fingers crossed for your dad's treatment and hope your sister gets good news too.

jarlin sorry you've been through a tough time. Just try to enjoy today. He sounds keen and very kind.

Really not sure how to figure out what men expect! Am making myself kinda crazy about it all!

Jarlin sorry to hear about family health problems, sounds like you could do with letting your hair down and having fun and forgetting about the stresses of it all for a while. For what it's worth it sounds like Slow Burner is a bit embarassed/annoyed about the room arrangements too, sounds like he tried to book a double but there wasn't any left.

I'm currently looking at my wardrobe and have no idea what to wear for my date with Mr Banana. I wore my 'first date' dress yesterday before I knew I was going to have a date today so can't wear it again!

Just had a message from Mr Banana- something's come up at work that he can't get out of so he might not be able to make it. So now I have to go out in date clothes (pretty much the same as what I wear all the time anyway) but be on standby. Urgh :(

Morning all. All I can say is just wow. Well last night was devine. I feel like new woman. Just what the doctor ordered. Walking around with a stupid grin look on my face.

crow oh no, that's crap. Do you believe him? Where were you supposed to be going?

dippy good luck tonight

and blossom Lucky girl. I am !! Really pleased for you

scorned yeah, I have no reason not to. He seems keen to rearrange but if not then oh well. We were just going to the pub for a few drinks, nothing fancy.

blossom I am green with envy too!

crow if he doesn't it's his loss. What's happening with POF guy? Any others on the horizon? I'm off to an 80's pub with friends tonight & dreaming of finding a 'Simon Le Bon'
lookalike. Probably more likely they'll all look like Boy George

I could not have picked someone better to help me find the old me. In my early 20's I had my fair share on men ( went through a naughty phase) so I know a good lover. But Mr Scottshaccent was just amazing probably one of he best I have ever had, sorry shall stop gloating now. I hope he wants to come back for some more ( he seemed to enjoy himself)

blossom I am actually turning green now!! Go girl. Has he got a brother?

scorned I know this is terrible but I was musing over whether a man's height was an indication on how errrr big a man is, ( he is a little shorter then men I would normally date.) I can officially say for the record that I need not have worried.

"Just had a message from Mr Banana- something's come up at work..."

This made me laugh, Crow.

Jarlin They say these things are sent to test us, so perhaps the whole thing with the cast iron twin beds chained to the floor will make the end result much more worth it. A kingsize bed waiting in the room would have presented no challenge and been too easy... wouldn't it?

Blossom Height has nothing to do with what a man is packing.
