Candle light and soul forever
A dream of you and me together
Say you believe it, say you believe it

Free your mind of doubt and danger
Be for real, don't be a stranger
We can achieve it, we can achieve it

Come a little bit closer
Baby, get it on, get it on
'Cause tonight is the night when 2 become 1

ScrambledEggAndToast · 27/03/2015 18:12

Sorry to go back to me girls Wink

So, Mr Sunday night date. Starting to worry that he might be a bit of a lad. Not sure why, just been sending my cheeky texts (not rude) but a little bit suggestive. It's just I seem to attract the lads like a moth to a flame!!

SuperFlyHigh · 27/03/2015 20:37

Scrambled nothing wrong with a little bit suggestive.

I was myself just flirting earlier then had to backtrack!

I need to get rid of 1 of my options think it'll be Mr Geek as there's nothing there! At least when fireman texts I know I probably fancy him!

Whatsforsupper · 27/03/2015 21:09

Evening all!

Blossom

Awful news about your cat. I'm a major cat person have a few myself...actually I think they own me:)

Rioux

Sorry to hear about you and Shutter hope you're doing ok.

Super

You sound a lot better then last week.

Jessy

Take a breath and enjoy what you have;)

Hello to anyone I've forgot.

Me. Well. Being chatting to a lovely women the last few days. Prob the first women, Ive thought...maybe. At some point Ill ask her out:)

Rioux

Well. That's an interesting theory!

Over the last while I've being quite off with dating,period. If i talked with anyone it was really me going through the motions.

Like I said. I started chatting with a women last night she seems rather nice.

She seems pretty busy, full time job, young child and recently separated. My last experience dating someone very similar was not something id be keen to repeat.

Ill update you all if and when it moves forward:)

This is online it could go Tits up in twenty minutes!

So woke up this morning to texts from Mr Sunday night date telling me he'd had a great night last night at his work do. Fair enough. But also that he had a massive hard on and wished I was there to "help him out" Shock Now I'm no prude, if that was from a boyfriend I would be right in there with the dirty talk. However, from someone I've never met in person it felt a bit odd! I got him off the subject ASAP. Hoping this isn't an indicator of tomorrow and that all he wants is a shag.

Lurkingforanswers · 28/03/2015 09:24

Scrambled I'm sorry but I wouldn't go tomorrow now. He's sounding you out with the chat and is clearly after sex. That is disgusting to say that to what is essentialy a stranger you haven't met. He should want to impress you not repulse you,ugh!

ScrambledEggAndToast · 28/03/2015 09:31

I know Lurking, I am seriously reconsidering tomorrow now. My earlier post said I had a feeling he may be a lad. May get a few more opinions (although yours is definitely valid, thank you).

What do you reckon ladies. See what happens during the day or cancel ASAP?

RaspberryBeret34 · 28/03/2015 09:42

blossom so sorry about your cat.

whatsfor hope the chatting with ms busy still going well.

scrambled well, I guess it depends if you might be up for a fling rather than longterm? If I was unsure i might send a really nice but honest message just saying basically you get the impression he might be more up for sex than rel and that you're looking for something more longterm and don't want to waste his time if you aren't on same page?

Sorry I haven't mentioned everyone, am lying in bed using my phone so I can't go back as easily!

After saying I was going to do no dating, I put a hidden profile on Pof and favourited 6 men (only 2 of whom have even looked at my profile!). I also messaged a guy who I've chatted on and off with for 18 months and always really liked him. He replied straight away and asked me to dinner tomorrow Shock. Either the new pics or my disappearing act last time did the trick ;). So am a bit nervous but excited! And I don't normally do dinner on a first date so a bit worried about the eating and talking!!

Sienna17 · 28/03/2015 09:42

scrambled I'm with lurking on this one. I don't think that's acceptable when you haven't even met yet. A bit of flirting and innuendo by text is always good if done in a light-hearted way but that is too much! Although of course it means you are going in to the date with your eyes open, knowing that he might just be after sex.

Newtodating · 28/03/2015 09:44

scrambled depends on what you're after - if you're happy for a bit of sex then I'd still meet with the expectation that he's likely to fuck off after you put out
If it's a 'proper' relationship you're after then I doubt I'd bother - although a small chance a relationship could develop I wouldn't expect it to with someone so sexually full on before meeting.choice is entirely yours though.
As for me I have second date (albeit brief) with guy from last week.nice enough guy but don't think a spark likely to develop and doesn't really tick many of my boxes - how to let him down though I don't know - feel so mean.already feel like I've led him on by speaking on phone a few times and agreeing to second date (did this as first date pleasant and thought worth a second date to see if any potential).hes already asking me about plans for next weekend-argh!

Newtodating · 28/03/2015 09:45

And blossom forgot to say sorry to hear about your cat x

Sienna17 · 28/03/2015 09:50

Yes me too blossom hope you are OK. Similar thing happened to my friend's cat a couple of weeks ago, she was devastated. Sad

SuperFlyHigh · 28/03/2015 10:18

scrambled after that latest text I'd either go if you were just after sex or avoid him. There's a whole difference between flirting and that text!

EquinoxEclipse · 28/03/2015 11:26

It's just not very classy is it Hmm

When I was OLD, I loved a bit of sex talk, because I was just in it for the fun - but if I thought it was going to be a proper date instead of a shagfest, I wouldn't go, no.

Whatsforsupper · 28/03/2015 11:35

Morning all!

Rasberry

Wow. Your break Lasted what.....2 days and three minutes:)

Do it, meet him and have dinner. I pretty much always have dinner on first dates.

Scrambled

He's not one for foreplay is he? If there was some context-like you'd being flirting/sexting before,it would be ok. Personally I find that pretty rude.
For all those suggesting text him and explain how you feel. You've never met the man and he thinks he can say shit like that.
The sad truth is No man would say this stuff in real life to someone they barely knew. I dunno. Online dating seems to bring out an awful lot of absolute fucking idiots.

ScrambledEggAndToast · 28/03/2015 11:39

Thanks for the advice. Am seriously thinking of cancelling now. Have got my eye on a chap from Match (mr Sunday night is from Pof). Only been chatting to Match man since yesterday so maybe I should focus on him instead Wink
