Dating Thread 89

[Docmartensanddungarees]

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

Super

She texted him and he actually asked to his birthday meal tonight but apparently he said it was my ex gf you got number off shell be there and so won't totally be be blind date.

I know it's odd to try n set up your ex , but he a good friend he a shit at times but needs a nice girl.
I've even said that ill .meet her outside pub as I know it can be intimidating meeting a group let alone a date lol

Raspberry

The cocktails are lethal

Rasp sorry I got confused about you and Mr Y and Mr T - does that mean you will be dateless after tonight?!

I just don't seem to get some people, Mr Geek just appeared (seems nice enough) after a week, what's that about?!

MOTS could still be a contender - we're looking to move offices to the floor above in about a months time so if I'm still here I'll pounce more then.

My other thing Rasp being purely selfish is I need to find another job (had nightmare recently) and OLD takes up a lot of my time that I could use job-hunting.

jesy nothing wrong with helping a friend - good karma and it's better to help someone than not if you know what I mean!

PS - most cocktails are lethal!

Super Yes OLD does take up sooo much time, good luck with the job hunt. I don't know why people disappear then return, it is annoying! I can't remember, did you meet Mr Geek? No worries on Mr Y/T confusion - I'm confused myself at times . Yes - after tonight (or whenever I actually end it with Mr Y) I'll be dateless :). Thinking of having a few weeks off then seeing how I feel before I consider dating again.

Jesy mmmm.... I like lethal cocktails!

Rasp no never did meet Mr Geek he never asked!

I am thinking same as you taking a step back from it all.

Super slightly more acceptable to disappear if you've not met but still... Yes, stepping back at times helps I think (I'm hoping anyway). I guess I shoudln't be talking about future dating when I haven't even finished things with Mr Y.

It lemonchello mixed with vodka and Lemonade

I just want him happy , he Mr post best mate and my ex ( and always will be my first love ) he texting me saying can't believe you helping lol

Morning all

Hope everyone had a good weekend?

Chillli I am sorry that you had to experience something like that, I also had a nasty experience recently and the police were very supportive.
Jesy Glad the mums meet went well. Your menu sounded lovely and so did the cocktails!

Blossom Can't wait for the update, hope you and Mr Sailor have a great evening.

Super what are you doing about Mr geek? Have you replied? (Sorry if you already said, skimming through quickly) (And it is not selfish to look for another job, good luck!!)

Rasp Good luck tonight with Mr Y. Do you need to end it or do you think he could grow on you?

Scrambled Your date sounded great, it's a lovely feeling when time just disappears Have you planned your next date?

Britney I would not give out my FB details to anyone! Good to read that you met a couple of men at the wedding!! Someone who makes me laugh would definitely be a winner!

I know I've missed loads out but hope all is going pretty well for you. for those feeling a little jaded!

Really - I replied to him. I think I may say to him if he's interested meeting then fine if not then fine too.

MOTS not in today/yet (surveyor), was planning to get flirt on even if I have a slight headache. accepted!

oooh Super hope he comes in so you can have a little flirt (hope the headache eases too)

jesy glad weekend went went with mums
scrambled sounds like a fantastic date
britney wedding men sound good.
Me - i had phone convo with someone off tinder yesterday - went well - possible meet Friday with him.sex always ends up coming up in conversation though-don't know if it's because I'm quite a sexual person or they are or even if it's right or wrong.hmm not sure...
Getting excited about weds wih Mr Blind Date.i text sat and we had a few texts back and forth - he said to keep in touch and I said him too but not heard anything else-would love him to text me but I don't want to text him and appear too keen!-argh!im thinking I'll try and leaver until morning of date day and just text to confirm plans.

My married friend said to me "you're crazy, I'd give anything to be in your shoes...have no string sex and flings and go on dates with heaps of men".

I know she's right...but I just can't feel interested in a man unless I know a bit about him, respect him etc.

Anyhoo! My date for Tuesday (Mr Tall) just cancelled on me :( To be fair I was not really into him and only going because he'd pursued but he seems nice. He forgot it was parents evening or something. Sounded legitimate. Anyway, he might reschedule. He said he will.

Mr Wedding texted me this morning to say I was in his dream last night. Pending to hear what that was. But no, raspberry I don't think in this particular case laughter will turn to love. He's a fair bit younger and not really ticking my boxes.

I still have about 8 others texting me from various OLD sites who want to go out but honestly, absolutely none of them are giving me that excited feeling.

Maybe I am too fussy and should just meet them all once?

The only one I actually LIKE is Mr AWOL, who is still AWOL :/ I suspect I will hear from him eventually but I suppose I felt very sure about him before and even if he did get in touch now I feel quite wary and quite hurt. Not sure you can go on a first date feeling wary and hurt and if he's a complicated person who can't communicate honestly then he might not be a good person to let into my life.

Not dated related but DS in allowed back in school. Phew. He was so sweet yesterday he brought me tea and bacon butties in bed, a lovely Orchid and chocs. Had a great day

Newtodating - I find some of them keep slipping sex into the convo. Sometimes it doesn't mean anything. I told one of them a bit about my past (something shit happened to me) and he sent me a message apologising for being sexual in his messages and hasn't done it since and we've become quite friendly. I think maybe they see you as a face off the internet and not a real person sometimes.

Really - MOTS doesn't come into our offices as such, it's literally - on the stairs! but more chance if I am upstairs and below his stairs of bumping in next time. Yeah headache either needs booze or headache pills! thanks for hoping it's better, it's been around all weekend.

Super keep running up and down the stairs, if nothing else it might clear the headache

britney ^should just meet them all once^ I read this as 'meet them ALL at once', sitting here smiling to myself at the though of you on a date with 8 men !!

Blossom glad all good with the somn and that was sweet of him

Sorry Blossom son not somn

I didn't go on the second date with mr no-spark - was going to, then he misunderstood when I said I was going out with a friend - he thought I meant instead of him, when I was talking about a whole different day. Possibly a bit slow on the uptake ... In the end I said maybe it was better not to meet up as I didn't want to "waste his time" (I'm so rubbish at saying no that I'll probably now stick to that reason for every other unpromising date!).

Now have a date tomorrow with tall smily type, yum.

ReallyMe

Absolutely no joke at all..I was thinking of doing it all in one night? 30 minute slots? Meet them all in four hours?

Save all the hassle of travelling and babysitter!

Is this a bad idea?

britney sorry I don't mean to offend but that sounds like a terrible idea.

I thought it might be a bit like speed dating?! Wouldn't want to offend any of the men though! I just was thinking how much easier it was to not invest so much time and nights out into this process. Feels like work

Jesy I'm chuffed for you, the weekend meet seems to have went better than you could have hoped for. It's not essential that everyone gets along but it makes it so much better when that is the case.

Super I think you should knock the old on the head for a little bit so you have time for other things then maybe you'll get some of the excitement back when you decide to go back to it. Hopefully thinks step up with mots and you don't have to.

Blossom I really am crossing my fingers for you here for tomorrow.

Raven good luck tomorrow, mind update

New I hope it goes well Wednesday, I will be lurking for an update on that too

Hi to to everyone else.

It is so hard trying to do a proper catch up after not posting for a couple of days! I feel fraudulent as no LMN update and no plans for any other dates. I hope everyone had a lovely weekend.

Blossom Great news about DS! Also, I have a good feeling about Mr Sailor

Jesy So pleased the Mums got on well and enjoyed your food!

Super Totally hear you about OLD, it is very time consuming and often with little reward. Please do make sure you bump in to MOTS again though!

Rasp I think Mr T's had his chance (am I being harsh?). Let us know what you decide about Mr Y. I need a dateless buddy, I may have seven weeks to get through!

Newto I wouldn't think twice about dropping Mr Blind Date a text before date day, keep the banter going a bit.

Chilli Sorry to hear you got targeted like that. Well done for calling the police.

With regards to the Facebook thing (can't remember who brought it up). You can change your settings so that you can't be found with your mobile number, in fact so that you can't be found be anyone who is not already on your friends list if you want to be really private. I am happy to give my number to anyone that I think I would want to meet, even if it's early days. I will add someone on Facebook before meeting, but only once I think I've got a feel for them. I used to refuse to add anyone on FB before meeting, but latterly decided that it is a good opportunity to suss them out. My FB profile doesn't give away my work place, where I live etc.

Britney I actually quite like your thirty minute slot idea!

Raven Good luck tomorrow, fingers crossed for a spark this time!

Sorry to those I've missed!

Out tonight , do u think it ok just to have a starter than a main meal
