Dating thread 77

[neiljames77]

Just got in from my holiday and saw that 76 was full.

Oh and he had a really strange monotone accent. He bored me droning on about his travels like some kind of perpetual gap year student.

dontcallmehon22 - It's a teacher, not Bear Grylls!!!!!

I need good intonation too Don't - I love most accents but I don't like monotone or laconic speech patterns...

Hmmm - I wonder why I'm single?

Following up on Neil's post please tell me that Mr Teacher wasn't wearing the shell suit... I'd assumed it was just an optimist messaging you.

I agree, too many compliments is just too keen, there has to be a balance!

I'm chatting to 3 guys, all of which are 6' 2" - which is great for me!

Mr Tinder - local, nice looking, very flirty banter but even after a few hints about meeting up doesn't seem to want to take it further - which is a shame because he's very funny & I think we'd get on!

Mr Bikeman - who I chatted to ages ago (he knows my exH) he's a bit full on, asked me out, I suggested 3 possible days/times and ???? nothing!! But still texts!

Mr Decorator - potential there but don't know if he's on my intellectual wavelength, too early to tell.

All very amusing and what will be, will be!!

I think he saw himself as bear grylls, Neil. Oh God, that's brought back another memory. He was telling me that he worked at a school abroad where he played 'I'm a teacher get me out of here' and he won a challenge which involved him eating disgusting bits of animals like lung, brain, penis...

I think he thought I'd be well impressed.

No shell suit thank God, before.

Bear Grylls with a satchell and hush puppies!!!!

First kiss definitely more important than first shag mademan I agree

Don't he sounds odd. What a funny thing to say about brushing his teeth!

Oh just remembered, Mr Teacher said he wanted to write a book about a paedophile who doesn't act on it

Ffs!!! And he's a teacher????

Yes, that's a bit worrying. I'm assuming it'd be totally fictional but what a weird subject for a book and to bring up on a date!

Why would any normal man want to put himself inside the head of a paedophile? Sounds like a weirdo.

dont, you have such a way with words. Can't wait for your book to come out!

I'm thinking more along the lines of why someone who works with kids would want to write a book about someone who has to suppress their desire to mess with them.

This will definitely be one for the book mychilddoesntneedsleep. He's a classic. Might write his section tonight.

Yes that is disturbing Neil. Also if you're on a date with a woman who has children, that's probably not a great topic of conversation.

Jarlin how are things with Slow? Have you seen him/heard from him more frequently since he decided not to let you go easily or is it same old, same old?

Don't whilst I don't want to be a member of the thought police I have to say that Mr Teacher's book idea is so inappropriate I wonder if it can be reported, albeit anonymously? If I knew that about him I wouldn't entrust my children to him.

Don't he sounds bloody odd! Wtf is that all about?!

Jarlin good to hear things are ok. I hope you have a good catch up with slow later. Re: mr pof I hope so! Folk gave me some really helpful advice and some rl friends too. I think he got himself in a hole he couldn't get out of. We've completely talked it over and over. I'm not going to give up on him, I hope at all, so we will see where it goes

Afternoon all.
Just popping back in for a minute to see how you all are.
All is good in my world except I am a bit annoyed on behalf of my friend. He did the online thing and met this girl but imo she strung him along. He is simply lovely and didn't deserve that.
Tbh it pissed me off cos we are all on here hoping to meet a decent bloke without a fish pic, who dresses nice, is polite and thoughtful etc etc and here is a goodun who she let slip away!!!

Any girls advise I can give him to convince him it wasn't his fault but hers? He doesn't believe me. He thinks I am biased cos we are friends.

Off to catch up on thread.

don't sorry not ignoring you. Phone troubles!

"A man must smell like a man."

A dab of Castrol GTX and wood shavings under the armpits will do it; not popcorn though.

Mademan the smell of oil and the then necessary Swarfega does not do it but wood shavings - now you're talking!

I haven't spoken to him yet - he's at work and texted me to say he's likely to be working through to tomorrow night. I take it you all think I am doing the right thing by ending it before it has even started? I feel that if I have sex with him he will hook me in and put pressure on me to do things I don't want to do. It's best not to go there. I think that being attracted to him does not mean I should keep seeing him if it feels wrong.

And wrt the possibility that he's married I remember a few years ago a guy I met who wanted to meet up in hotels and it turned out that he was very shortly to get married......

I've been away - and there's a lot on this thread to catch up on!

Jarlin, thanks so much for remembering me. My date with Walt is tomorrow, so after a month of messaging, I'll finally get to meet him. I'm glad Slow's been in contact a bit more and you'll see him later. Will this be your first real chance to talk since you sent him that e-mail?

Folk, like most other people on this thread, I was shocked when I read about your boyfriend. Is it definitely over? How are you feeling?

lottie, it sounds to me as if you're doing the right thing. If you think he's going to put pressure on you after one date, that's a big red flag for me.

whitedoorbell, what happened with your friend and the woman he met?

lottie trust your instincts. If it feels wrong, then it is wrong.

whitedoorbell good to see you back on the thread and glad all ok. That's a shame for your friend. It's difficult to avoid blaming yourself when things go wrong, I know I do.

Well it's back to the drawing board for me. Anyone got any good looking, clever 6 foot plus, funny men going spare?
