Dating thread 77

[neiljames77]

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

LL0015, is it possible just to have a straight talk with Mr Runner? If he's in an exclusive relationship with this other woman, he shouldn't be snogging you. But maybe they've split up? Or maybe it's just a casual/non-exclusive thing with her? But yes, I'd be wary unless you know what the situation is. When can you meet up with the guy from Saturday night again?

This guy (let's call him Mr copper) is confusing me. He joked about spying on me when I'm on holiday to see how good looking I am. I told him he already knows this from my photos! Then he said none of them are full body shots and people look different in the flesh. So I said maybe we should meet up and you can check me out! He didn't bite but just replied with depends how cute your bum is! Does that mean he's not interested? But why is he texting so much asking me questions about myself etc?

Back away Sassy. He just wants pics of you.

A face photo should be good enough. If nothing else, just to recognise you if you do meet up. You've already suggested meeting him. That should be enough.

Maybe he's just enjoying the attention! But it was him who asked if he could text me when his shift finished this morning... Hmmm not sure what's going on.

I'd leave it until he says he wants to meet up.(although even jokes about spying on you/stalking you are a bit ropey)

I agree - I've let him know I'm interested in meeting him so will cut back on texts now and see if he asks.

Well he just phoned me up and asked me out :-) meeting tomorrow lunchtime. Shit that's 2 dates in one day lol

See. Sometimes I'm wrong.

Go sassy!

Hi everyone. I've just started this a few weeks ago. I hate it when they ask you to email them photos of you - why exactly would they need that unless they're weird??

One guy I spoke to set off alarm bells - I felt that he isn't genuine. So he asked if we could meet and I said sure but let's have a quick chat on skype - then he got really arsey. So my intuition was right about that one!

There is no way I'm spending money on a baby sitter and getting all dolled up for someone who doesn't exist!

I could be wrong but I'd say 10 or 20 messages to find out a bit about each other, then a few phone calls, then arrange a date. If they're making excuses not to meet or even show a pic of themselves, leave it.

I don't like the whole mentality of od and the merry-go-round it appears to be with it's rules and pitfalls but I'm going to have to give it another go.
In RL, I've discovered that I can get the women in the rougher places to drink but don't really want barbie lookalikes. I followed advice from others and drank in the posher places but I'm afraid the women who go in Manchesters trendy wine bars do NOT want to go out with someone who works in a factory. (which is why some of my friends lie about their jobs. One of them invested £4.95 to have some business cards printed to say he's a helicopter pilot )

lottie you tend to get a feel for the dodgy guys, it's amazing really how we can read between the lines!

You will filter out a lot of weirdo's believe me!

Wax booked for tomorrow now 4pm!!

Lol Neil!! That's just daft... they'll find out sooner or later!

I was actually going to ask if you're from Suffolk as I knew a Neil James the same age as you years ago!

Lottie I agree with louby you can tend to pick up the strange ones. I had one so insistent about a date and how I would love his cottage as it was so cosy. Skype always sends alarm bells with me though to be honest. I would feel quite uncomfortable doing that it's bad enough talking on the phone for me!

Neil do people really bother about jobs? I couldn't care less as long as you have one or were trying to get one.

Louby I'm liking the change in waxing appointment! Whoop whoop

I don't like Skype or phone conversations until I know someone really well. I prefer texting as I can get on with my day, see to the kids etc inbetween.

Mr Keen is definitely growing on me! He is so funny! He wants to go out for dinner tomorrow. I know I only saw him on Monday but I have no DC this week and no plans so why should I sit in on my own?? Life is too short!

Sassy - Some actually fall for it. The world must be full of helicopter pilots with 2 full sleeves of tats!!
I'm not from Suffolk. I went there once and got stuck behind a tractor.

Minimee - Honestly, women in posh wine bars want professional/management types.

Louby - I hope the waxing doesn't hurt too much.

neil no it doesn't hurt, been having it done for years!

The business card thing is very amusing! I think I would probably suss your mate out though! Pilots have a certain type of persona, as do coppers and military types.

Now u see id rather have a man with tattoos than a posh job!

Louby - what persona do coppers have?! Off to meet one tomorrow for the first time!

They just have 'a look' - don't you think? My exP was ex-army and he held himself in a certain way, I've seen other soldiers out and they are the same.

Sassy - He might want to take down your particulars..........awww bollocks. I've done jokes about milkmen and posties.....not doing coppers too.

Louby - When you say "held himself" did you mean wi........

right,that's it, I'm going to work.

AndCatMakesThree - thanks for your concern! Tinder guy is good friends with my sisters boyfriend and we've been on a couple nights out together but took the Tinder match to get things going with the chat so not complete strangers. I guess I don't know him mega well though. My mum was in the house too is anything was to go sour

I would never Skype a bloke I didn't know. I'd be too worried he'd be sitting there starkers in all his non-glory!
