The Dating Thread 74.

[MadeMan]

Hello and welcome.

Talisa I was intrigued too!

Hate to say it but want a nice man I fancy to snog. won't happen for 2 weeks at most! Little Miss Impatient

No! I'm the scouser! I'm amazed it puts people off. I don't live in Liverpool anymore, so my accent only really comes out when I'm cross or had a drink (or 3).

I love accents. Not one I don't like.

Rummi what's wrong with being Scouse?! Alright ARRRR kid?! joke...

I like Welsh and others...

Nothing wrong with it, I'm a scouser. I take all the scouse jokes in good humour (always told within minutes of meeting, as if I'd never heard them before )

Oh swiftly followed by short jokes!! Or men trying to rest pints on my head! I'm mixing with the wrong people aren't I??

SuperFlyHigh - that's Manchester, not Scouse. (I found it highly offensive btw )

neil - oh I dunno I'm just a soft Southerner!!!

Scousers call blokes "laaaaaaahhhhh" and women, "queeeeeeeeeen".

HTH.

Rummi - which Scouse jokes - I vaguely remember the Harry Enfield ones...

I think I need advice on text rules or habits.
In my brief stint on od, one of the women who shown an interest sent me a message saying I haven't said much about myself in the profile.(she was one of the only ones that didn't look stabby tbh)
So I sent her a message. Nothing cheesy, cringey or crude. She kept viewing my profile afterwards but didn't send a message back. As far as I'm concerned, if someone takes an interest in me, they should want to know a lot more about me, so if they're messing about at this stage, I just assumed that I'd get messed about further down the line and I'd have wasted my time. I just thought, "ah bollocks to it" and deactivated it.
Have I read it totally wrong? Did she expect me to update my profile just for her benefit and sex it up a bit?

super yes that harry Enfield ones were fab.

Jokes around watching their wallets or car keys. Or what do you call a scouser in a suit? The accused.

Less so now I've toned down my accent.

neil did you give her any extra info in your reply? Think that's what I'd have expected. Some men don't put much in profile but do add please ask if you want to know anything else.

I think there's more caution in the initial contacts. That makes sense to me. I'd run a mile if someone was full on straightway.

toilet update. .... omfg....

Go on......

He must have been impressed with the clean grill pan.

I think I need a bit of advice. My gut instinct is telling me to "steer clear" but I just want a second or third opinion.

On OKC, this young chap contacted me a couple of years back and we were in different cities then. He had exams, he said (not THAT young, finals in his degree) and we just didn't meet up.

I left OKC and went back under a different name. He just found me last week and we are in the same city now, both of us having moved. He was incredibly keen, we exchanged lots of chatty messages, and he gave me his phone number etc and then everything just stopped.

I know what that means in internet dating, so I gave him a few days and then deleted his messages.

He just messaged me, six days after the sudden stop mid conversation, and picked it up as if there was no break. Wondered why I hadn't texted him yet?!?

My instinct is just to ignore the message - he's obviously juggling and I don't really like the feeling of being juggled.

I just want to check - would you ignore his renewed contact?

I'm trying to ignore the fact that he is young, goodlooking and hairy.

He probably was juggling but you weren't going out together were you?
Just mention it to him and ask why he just stopped.

Hairy!!

Ok been thinking I'm going for the personalised cArd with his fav cartoon character on a gift card for a sports shop as I know he'll like that and just a jokey present.
I want to get something but not go over boards , he made a comment this am about while your down there if you get my meaning and I just winked saying not your bday yet !!!

Trying to keep it light but it is difficult.

Oh no I know we aren't going out or anything. It just seems a bit rude.

Yes, I like them hairy.

I would message him back. But I am soft. You have nothing to lose. Just don't invest at this early stage.

How do I say "I thought you weren't interested so I deleted your number" ?

I suppose I could just say it an grin sheepishly

love a welsh accent. divine!

white that's a brilliant toilet break update made me laugh out loud.

Neil I think u shouldn't change your profile unless I want to really. I tried to play around with vocab and wording in mine a bit after I'd been on there a couple of weeks. but just be u. make the messages honest,which I'm sure u do . but u can't beat honesty in my opinion, for what its worth. why did u deactivate it though?

lois that's exactly what I'd say. Hopefully he'll get it that you don't want messing around and if he doesn't get it, then move on. No loss.

Minime85 - I'm not bothering with the OD again. The reason I deactivated it was because of the messages and who they were from. I'm sure some of those women lie about their age. The ones that say "40's" must be talking about the decade they were born in.

I'll be ok if I can just bother my arse to go somewhere different for a drink.
