Step inside it's the Dating Thread 92!

[Whatsforsupper]

I'm not one for songs Or starting threads I saw the last one was full.

I shall post The Rules shortly:)

jollyXmasjumper if I hadn't have read your previous stuff about Popcorn, I would have said that I find that offensive- but I don't .

Try not to let him dictate the pace too much- make sure your still dipping your toes..

Oh God he's just texted me saying how nice and sexy I am and how he wants to take me out again! I am not attracted to him at all. Just want to ignore it and hope he goes away
< coward >

A simple thanks but no thanks is enough. You owe him nowt!

jolly in that case it's the times that have changed!! Cue a chat about the good old days!

justaboy thanks for the additional explanation! Lol!

prizey welcome.

destiny I'm with Handy on this one. A simple there was no spark reply will do just fine.

lacob there are tons of boys in their late twenties/ thirties all about the older woman. It's nothing to do with 'being easy' as opposed to finding us attractive.

waving let us know what you decide. That is really rude of him. How many days has it been?

My phone is totally silent. I refuse to be the first one to text. You're all going to be coupled up and married and I'll be on this thread all alone refusing to text anyone and still playing by the rules!

So I guess it's not ok to say "you're obese and your teeth are rotting "then..? Although that's the truth? God I'm such a wimp.

Toosassy I don't believe I said that all younger men found older women easy, I was merely referring to my previous post, in which I'd been suggesting 'why' some younger men come across as creeps.

Sorry lacob I didn't mean it that way either. I posted and ran between dinner/ bath time!

Destiny I retrieved a nice "thanks but no thanks" text I got from my first OLD date which I thought was perfect: "Hey Jolly, I am afraid there was no spark on my end but thank you - I had a lovely time with you. Good luck and take care, MrFrugal." Feel free to use! I think it has a kind "it is not you it is me" feel to it which is way better than the truth

Waving If there was a medal for "Git of the Week" I would vote for Soho. Perhaps try holding off on texting him (?)

Lacoba lol I think liking Popcorn has already cost me a toe.. haha

Oh God I said it...

Hi nice to meet you but I'm afraid I want physically attracted to you at all you're quite overweight and your front teeth are rotting. Good luck to you bit you're not for me I'm afraid.

Crap, I didn't check my bloody grammar!!!

Destiny bloody hell that was brutally honest!

Lacoba66 et al I suspect that most of the women posting here are around 30 to 40 if that is the case then they are at that age more sexually on the go and are attractive to a lot more men than they realise. There's a book on it somewhere ISTR it was called women's infidelity oddly enough her theory was that this is the prime time there likely to "misbehave" sexually.

Have just turned 43 and would definitely like to misbehave sexually.

As you were.

I know! I just couldn't fudge it but felt bad so have blocked him now. Just don't get why really unattractive men think they can date women who are much more attractive than them. I'd be embarrassed to meet a guy if my front teeth were rotting away! Maybe it will prompt him to go to the dentist? Sorry but just had decades of meeting entitled men and have much much less patience and tolerance than I used to.

We're just brought up as women to be too bloody nice!!

Well some have said to me in the past "how did an ugly old git manage to pull a bird like her"?

Destinysdaughter I think that most of you are a bit more "picky" than otherwise, perhaps its that you know more of what you want these days and aren't as you say as tolerant as when younger?

Jolly sorry about the lost 'toe' lol.

Destiny that has mad me spit my tea out....lol! It's wrong, but so right .

Handywoman I'm 49, so sod off, I'm first in the queue .

I'm not 'picky'but I don't want to have sex with an overweight man with v poor dental hygiene. Forgive me for having some standards...

justaboy Or maybe, now that we are all getting older, we are wearing our glasses and can see (tongue in cheek-maybe..)

Destinysdaughter LOL!, that isn't wasn't intended that you do that at all!

OMG you said it very specifically.

Not just "I don't fancy you"

Well. Now he knows.

Sorry if I'm coming across as a judgemental bitch, I'm actually really not, just worn down by years of bad relationships and now OLD.

Evening all. Haven't posted on here in ages.

Regarding the thread Rules, posted above, yes they were worked out over many thread discussions by those of us who were on here long ago. I think I was the first one to put that complete list of 10 together, but lots of other people had input.

And definitely #7 is for both men and women. I think in a good relationship/dating situation, if you're both not impressed enough by the other to want to try and impress them, it's not going to end well. It would lead to a relationship where one party has more 'power' and takes the other for granted, and in a good relationship it's got to be both of you realising how lucky you are to have found the other.

I think my girlfriend is amazing. She thinks I'm pretty great too. To other people, we may not be right, but to each other we are. I know I'm lucky to have met her (through OD, albeit after lots of false starts and bad dates)

Good luck everyone

Destinysdaughter Leave it out will yer!, your not coming across as judgemental at all it's OK to say you don't fancy someone at all!.

Bant Lucky in love eh;-)
