CanI I'm in the same position as you. Peck on the cheek on Tuesday but this afternoon I'm meeting him again!

I hate that awkward first moment/kiss. A glass of wine helps but we're walking this afternoon so the pub won't come till the end of the walk lol

But good for you! 20 years! Wow. What's he like?

Jason Statham bald is ok...better when you can see that the hair is voluntarily removed as opposed to 'male pattern balding' and shiny, ugh!

I've now set the filters to allow no contact from men without profile pics and outside of my chosen age range, that will get rid of the septuagenarians/pensioners and the ones looking for a mother figure!

Have ignored all the 'hi, how are you' messages....that's just laziness on their part.

So, I'll probably have nothing today! Can see I'm going to have to be more pro-active with this. Starting to wish I hadn't bothered and spent the money on wine instead

SuperFlyHigh · 19/04/2014 09:19

dontcall you deleted some posts then went quiet after a date?! Smile

I think you mentioned something was it Westminster man?

I just know I've had few freaks... Who I then block after the odd date lol!

SuperFlyHigh · 19/04/2014 09:20

I mean had a few freaks not few! Few would be welcome!

SuperFlyHigh · 19/04/2014 09:21

So had 2 messages, 1 a guy I don't fancy at all. One a new one well someone I hadn't noticed...

47 but looks good and also not far from me. Hmmm

MadeMan · 19/04/2014 09:23

Denton, men who are only after a quick bunk up will obviously use an app like Tinder as a source of available women in their area. Quicker than going home and setting up the laptop to browse through the online dating sites, with Tinder they can be standing at the urinal in the pub at 10.30pm and looking to see who's about that night.

SoftKittyWarmKitty · 19/04/2014 09:23

I had a lovely message from a lovely man on POF. Just a shame he was only 29. I mean, I like 'em young but come on! Grin

MadeMan · 19/04/2014 09:28

SuperFly I thought you'd be into , seeing how you like S'Express and stuff. Smile

dontcallmehon22 · 19/04/2014 09:30

Ah, it's because Westminster man is a civil servant who told me some interesting things about the department he works in. I thought I'd better get them deleted in case he could be identifiable and get in trouble!

louby44 · 19/04/2014 10:06

I don't mind shaved head men! Infact MrTall has a shaved head.

I find when I'm 'online' on Match I get lots of views. My subscription runs out on Tuesday though and am not renewing.

I've got a potential date tomorrow night but this guy is a bit of an enigma, he hasn't confirmed a place or time (even after me asking twice) and he's just a bit mysterious - my spidey sense he's a bit of a player. If he doesn't contact me I aren't contacting him!

I've got another guy texting but he has the same name as my exH and my exP so that's not going anywhere...it was bad enough before!

SuperFlyHigh · 19/04/2014 10:15

Ooh dont that sounds intruguing....

I was in Westminster Palace, HOP and Portcullis House last Thursday evening quite a few hotties there!

SuperFlyHigh · 19/04/2014 10:16

Made Man I do like freaks but not too freaky!

dontcallmehon22 · 19/04/2014 10:42

I find that with Tinder too, Denton. Yesterday, I had someone who wanted me to be their submissive. He was texting me instructions. I wasn't a very good submissive as he just got more and more irate as I ignored him.

Well Toryboy asked me on another date last week and texts everyday but hasn't made plans yet, so I'm thinking he's not that interested. Meeting up with Westminster when I get back from my hols next week.

Spent last night dreaming about Geeky Sad

jesy · 19/04/2014 10:49

Hi
Just got back from my dste , had a good time we went fir food first then to see band .
Bumped into his mates ,explained how I knew the one lol
Group was good but hone by then he was tired and so was I tbh,
HD a few drinks at his then we'll you can guess rest .

Only upset of the night I went to loo came out and all these skinny girls were in front of mirror it made me feel inferior to be honest.
Tried to brush it off but it did upset me

MadeMan · 19/04/2014 11:08

Jesy, I've known slim women that worry themselves silly about not having sizable boobs or a bum and that they haven't got any curves. One woman I know was really happy when she became pregnant for the first time because it actually put some weight on her.

louby44 · 19/04/2014 11:15

Jesy the majority of men I know like women with curves. Thin women are so overrated!!

MadeMan · 19/04/2014 11:24

"...the majority of men I know like women with curves."

Cor yeah, not half!

jesy · 19/04/2014 11:25

I looked huge and was tempted to go home.
He seems happy with curves, I went to cover myself this am n he said please don't !

SoftKittyWarmKitty · 19/04/2014 11:34

Jesy I predicted some time ago that you'd end up getting physical with him again! Are you back officially dating him again, or are you still just 'friends'? Just take care of yourself, we don't want you getting hurt. And as for your size/weight, don't let it make you feel inferior - he clearly likes you as you are and you should like you, too!

Louby My first instinct on reading your post was that he's married/attached. Do you think that's possible?

I exchanged a few more messages with Mr Wallet last night. He's nice but super-keen, which tends to put me off a bit if they're super-keen before we've even met. I always worry I won't live up to their huge expectations! Also exchanged a few messages with another man who seems more intelligent and likes reading (I love men who read) but he only has one photo, so it's hard to get and idea of who he is and what he looks like in different situations, iyswim.

MadeMan · 19/04/2014 11:37

"...but he only has one photo, so it's hard to get and idea of who he is and what he looks like in different situations, iyswim."

His other photos probably show him holding aloft big fish.

jesy · 19/04/2014 11:43

We were never not dating from what he said he been honest with me and that he has had lots of gf .
I k ow it won't last but I. Having fun at the mo.

louby44 · 19/04/2014 11:54

jesy see! he wanted to look at you because he's attracted to you and look at you and see what MadeMan said - men like curves! Who wants ribs sticking in you when you're between the sheets!!

soft I don't think he's married, I've found him on Facebook so I know he's who he says he is. I just think he's a bit odd in that his texts are very random & sporadic, we decided to meet up and decided on Sunday, but why not confirm details and leave it all up in the air. He said he was going to find a pub/postcode at a half way point but...nothing!! That annoys me. I like a man to take the lead and be a bit proactive. It doesn't take much!

Can't you get your bloke to email you some pics soft

MadeMan · 19/04/2014 12:08

A date with him might be awkward tomorrow anyway Louby, what with it being Easter Sunday. Bank Holiday Monday could be better for a date, everyone used to go walking on a Bank Holiday Monday to escape the James Bond afternoon matinée on ITV.

MadeMan · 19/04/2014 12:09
