The Dating Thread 73.

[MadeMan]

Hello and welcome.

[louby44]

fifty I'd be fuming too but just take it as a compliment.

I've had a really lovely afternoon. 5 mile walk, chatted all the way. He said hello to every other person we passed, very friendly. I really enjoyed his company. We had a pub tea, he paid as I'd left my purse in the car, I did pay him back though lol!

I kissed him before he left, I think he was a bit shocked. He's really shy. The kiss was ok, I've had better but there's potential there. And I had to stand on tip toes to kiss him and I'm 5' 10"!!!

I'm going to see him on Saturday and have invited him to come over to me...but do I let him stay over, sleep in the spare room, or make him go home?

[fiftyandfab]

Wow louby. He sounds lovely, I love that he said hello to everyone you passed. So clearly you fancy him?!

Laughing at left purse, as this was a topic discussed on the last dating thread!

If he's shy, I'd not put him on the spot by staying over at yours. It might scare him off.

[fiftyandfab]

Love the tip toes too! Guy I just declined is 6'4 and I'm 5'8...loved how tiny that made me feel. But not enough to go for booty call

[louby44]

I'm thinking if he stays over he can have a drink and he will feel more relaxed. I know he fancies me.

When you've kissed the same person for a long time and you kiss someone new you expect it to be/feel the same, I was a bit shocked it didn't. It wasn't horrible, just different.

[fiftyandfab]

Awww louby I know. I thought I'd gone off kissing...used to find it a terrible shock after the familiarity. Now I love it again (been kissing long distance guy for 5 years) however, trying to wean myself off him, hence the OD stuff, as he's too far away and emotionally unavailable but starting to think I'm EU too

[fiftyandfab]

ok louby, maybe tell him you've made the spare room up for him, then see how it goes....

But I'd get the kissing thing sorted out before the next base...IYSWIM

[fiftyandfab]

first snog with my dear departed H was a car crash....he was so clumsy in his enthusiasm. It got better

[jesy]

I don't know best but at the moment he makes me laugh , yes he hurt me before and has said sorry but never actually ended it.
We laugh and joke have fun yes he a busy man and I'll admit I've checked to see what he say true ( must be a family hereditary family issue as I've seen .y dis Nd .um do it)but even yesterday he said wh we n we got back glad we went home as he'd had 4 hours kip but wanted to go out as I'd seemed so happy to go out !

[FloraSpreadableMacDonald]

Hello post 73...like Mademan's style....and I think it was me who first referred to Jason Statham bald being ok ....said in a school girl voice :0P

Glad dates are going well. I met up with the chap who lives 3 hours away. He travelled to my neck of the woods and we had a lovely day. Not sure I fancy him but we got on well. Not sure what to do really.
Mr Number4 sending me 'sexts' asking to meet up. I suggested this evening but here I am sitting on my tod (in the bath)....as he never responded. Hmmm...

[fiftyandfab]

Jarlin if I hadn't paid I'd have deleted my account by now, even though only 2 days in! Getting loads of views, but 50% of the winks are without profile pic. Mostly from pensioners!! Email messages are either indecipherable or not worthy of a response.

Can't see an obvious flaw with my profile, and not going to change it to look cheap/easy/willing to 'settle'.....sighs and gets

[fiftyandfab]

Flora you were the first! I think it was maybe because the Mr Statham reference made me reassess my irrational baldism, that stood out to mademan

[SoftKittyWarmKitty]

I've just had a message on POF, so went to read his profile and the first line reads: I'd be surprised if you have read this far but seeing as you have can you tell me where I'm going wrong, dose anyone ever respond to messages on here. Then he goes into his spiel, which would be fine if it wasn't for that opening line . He's not my type at all but I'm tempted to reply just to advise him to take that line off.

Exchanging messages with the man with only one photo. Not sure if he's a bit too high brow for me. He likes alternative film and classic literature, I like Made in Chelsea and contemporary fiction. Hmm, we'll see.

[FloraSpreadableMacDonald]

Fifty...its fine...was tongue in cheek lol (Jason is my ideal man).
Regards what you said about age....I think there are a fair few guys looking for women their own age. You look younger, you have a young mind and you are fun (specially now you have your Ibiza pic lol) ..its early days ..be positive. Im 41 and Mr Number4 is 41 and hes hot. Mr Walker I am chatting to is 48 and hot. Some men specify they dont want children so are probably looking for a lady who is more mature. I habe an age filter that says younger than 50. It helps as Im no longer messaged by men old enough to be my dad!

[fiftyandfab]

heheh soft the fact that he wrote dose instead of does would have me inclined to ignore, but I'm brutal with typos in these circumstances!!

And if he's not your type, dont engage!!! You're not the OD nanny for these bozos it's me that needs the nanny

Reckon MWOOP has deliberately tried to make himself look 'highbrow'..anyway, would you really want a Francis Boulle???

Classic lit isn't neccessarily a notch above contemporary fiction in my book anyway (pun intended!)

[fiftyandfab]

Flora think it was soft with the Ibiza pics...certainly wasn't me! I had to remove my flirty pic when I realised I looked pissed jaded! Took me ages though, at god knows what opportunity cost!!!

[fiftyandfab]

Glad to hear you're good with Slow Jarlin, did you sort out the, ahem, other stuff?

[FloraSpreadableMacDonald]

Fifty...lol...sorry...vlad you managed to remove pic.
Have you seen anyone you fancy?

Jes...just read your post. Sending you positive vibes.

Jarlin...yes...other stuff...lol...cmon.

My date from today just sent me a nice text. What hope have i got though, seriously, with a man who lives 3 hours away?

[SoftKittyWarmKitty]

It wasn't me with the Ibiza pics! I've been to Ibiza but there isn't any incriminating evidence from that holiday, honest .

I love the 'MWOOP' acronym Fifty, so I'm going to call him Mr Mwoop . He's already suggested meeting for a drink sometime. I think I need to see more photos so that I recognise him if we meet, but how do I ask nicely for some without sounding shallow?

Btw, I quite like Francis Boulle although I fancy Andy Jordan lots more.

Jarlin Sounds like you and Slow are on the same page at last, which is lovely . Your patience has been rewarded.

[fiftyandfab]

Flora I had to ring Match in the end to get the pic removed! It was me being dense but their instructions online weren't exact, in fairness to me!

I have expressed an interest in 2 or 3 (out of hundreds!) and they have since viewed me, but no contact. Clearly the ones I like don't like me!

So, either I lower the bar in favour of fat, bald pensioners, or sit it out (it's only been a couple of days).

Flora my dream man is 3 hours away, it's been great for 5 years when he's been travelling here on business drive by shag I call it! but since his job's changed, haven't seen him for 3 months and that's not acceptable. Hence the foray into OD. If he really wants to see you, he'll find a way clearly mine ain't that into me

[louby44]

flora 3 hours would be just too far for me. But if you think it may work you could take that chance.

fifty you could spread your wings and go on POF. It's not a paying site and you do get some odd bods but I think people are a bit more open on there. You could give it a go and see!

[fiftyandfab]

Sorry soft (am now wondering who it was with the flirty Ibiza pics? Maybe fly aka helloboys?)

Re more photos...just ask.....have you more than one on your profile? It's not an unreasonable request.

I struggle with pics as a) I'm NOT at at all photogenic, much better in real life (and used to do catwalk back in the day so am not deluded!!) b) only so many selfies one can get away with, c) difficult to convince a friend to take a 'sympathetic' pic without giving reasons why!!

[fiftyandfab]

louby I struggle to know the difference between POF and Pleantyoffish (is there one?)

I was on plentyoffish about 5 years ago, had more success, but it WAS 5 years ago

[fiftyandfab]

grr at pleanty* plenty!
