Dating thread 79

[louby44]

Wow! 79 already...

Welcome to all daters, new, experienced or tearing your hair out at the frustration!

Big glowing one, yes

A HIP FLASK! was the date a shooting party? No hip flasks are not required any job, unless as bant pointed out the St Bernard was on the date. Also, topping up and not returning to the bar to pay bar price is just not how to impress a first date.

I don't get dates like that WTf am I going wrong?!

Still on me hols.

:D

Still WhatsApping MrKeen. The Pilot seems to have taken off, but he was setting off my oddball-dar. Far too full on, far too fast mostly nonsensical. I even got a nonsensical message in the morning and a 'Why the Silence?' in the afternoon... Erm.. because my phone only works on Wifi? and i'm OUT all day, on account of me being on holiday? Perhaps? Then he says 'did you get my emails?'

Yes, I got your 'i'm so lucky you're my friend' stuff, the 'you can count on me anytime' thing. I also got the hearts and fresh dewy grass stuff. Oh yes, I got the life history about your (full) career and your family's make up and back story.

I did however remind him that i'd not met him, nor him me, and that a CV type email that only brain dumps is hard to respond to.

I thought there would be chit chat. I told him that it'd be best to wait till i.m back and do phone calls. But I think he has the hump.

And yes, I took Bant's notes seriously. Am keeping v level head! :)

The last date I had who I am trying to get rid of keeps contacting me and saying he can't sleep and feels upset because I don't want to see him again and that other people have blocked him in the past without saying anything and that it makes him feel bad. I dont even think he particularly likes me. I don't have an iPhone sadly so can't block him, that's next on my list. He seems very manipulative because he's making me feel bad.

I'm going on 2 new dates next week and I hope the outcome is better (sigh)

When I texted him to say I wasn't going to see him again he asked if he could still ring me sometimes

I've been stood up haven't I? Supposed to pick me up at 7.30 and was going to text as he left.

It's a 25 min drive max where he lives and still no text?

I just give up, WTF is it about me that men think they can treat me like crap

Ah willow! That's crap! Fwiw, it's him being a twat, a coward and an arse, nothing at all that reflects on you love!

lottie treat yourself girl! Samsung phones block too.
Really well!

RockGod had one

That's good news Jarlin, let us know what happens. Be good for someone to take your mind off slow.

Well I had a date with mr short today, I wasn't keen and don't think he was as he more or less scarpered after the coffee ??

I'm a bit miffed he didn't like me even though I didn't like him - what's all that about then?

Jarlin I would text, what do you have to lose. It sounds really positive

Well, I have bitten the bullet, got Mr Hobby's number and text and a friendly text. He replied in a pally type way, I didn't spot the text so replied 1.5 hrs later, he hasn't replied yet. I'm hoping this will turn out to be a good move, but it's hard to tell

I'm currently (as in this evening) chatting to someone on Tinder, but he is using poorly constructed sentences which I am finding difficult to read, I think maybe I must be bored to be still chatting to him

Jarlin where do you find all these men? there seems to be a shortage where I live! I seem to attract the short, fat bald men (I'm very tall, so no good) I dream of tall, fit, dark, they just don't seem to be around

Jarlin I had no luck at all with Match (but my profile was utter shite...first attempt) I joined a site for tall people, but was told by a couple of men off there that one had joined what he thought was a spiritual site, the other said it was POF...Is this right? that the specialist dating sites are in fact POF and we are all lumped in together (I wondered why men of 5"7 were messaging me when I had joined a tall site)

What I did'nt like about these sites that I do like about Tinder was that you only chat to people where you are both matched. I am a people pleaser and really hated letting down guys who were I am sure very lovely but I had no attraction to at all...However, my experience on Tinder hasnt been very good at all, and these are the ones I have clicked 'yes' too It's a minefield out there.

Dont and Mini I just wanted to say good luck to you both and you will be missed

Have lunch (first meet) tomorrow. Have been texting quite a lot , general surface stuff, but keep telling myself this doesn't mean a thing!
If he doesn't slag off his ex for ' dumping' their kids on him once a month or announces he has booked a hotel room for us, then he will be an improvement on the last two
