Step inside it's the Dating Thread 93

[SweetPotato1]

Looks like this needed to be kicked off again..

The Rules

1. The first rule about the dating thread is you don't talk about it with people you're dating.
2. Develop a thick skin
3. Do no invest emotionally too soon
4. It's all BS until it actually happens
5. Trust your gut instinct
6. People vanishing, lying & being generally weird is not your fault
7. You are the prize - they should be trying to impress you
8. If it's not fun- stop
9. Loo update is mandatory

10. No dating the thread

I went on a date once, he lied massively about his height, stayed sat down the whole date, didn't get up to say hi, go to loo, nothing, then we got up to go home -he was shoulder height to me, and according to his profile he should have been 4inches taller than me ( im only 5.3).
He came out with awful stuff at me when I let him down gently after quite frankly a very mediocre date (despite the height thing and lying on profile) Block him mygast. Do they think their bad reactions will make us think, hmmmm yeah he's actually lovely and we should pursue this one?

Well my confession on here is that I got absolutely plastered and slept with him, despite not actually fancying him when I was sober.

He's saying it was more than sex, that I was the first person he'd slept with in 18 months because he wanted more than that and that I've made him feel awful.

I said I was sorry but he's still insisting it was more than sex. Just ignoring him now.

Ignore mygast. Last I knew sleeping with someone didn't mean you were betrothed. How many men do this and we just say 'Oh well, I read that wrong then'. Block, ignore and waste no more energy.

Date 1/4 update - not at all as I expected, but nice to talk to, easy on the eye and no awkward silences. So far so good.....

That is all.

Happy McBitch right here.

Happy to read that! At least someone's having a good time!

Aye, sorry you've encountered someone that high on the cockwomble scale.

Ah, and also Twiggy, hooray for you!

If a woman came on MN and said
I slept with a man from online dating, and now he's dumped me, and I wish I hadn't slept with him because I don't want to sleep with someone unless it means something.

You'd definitely get SOME posters calling him a bastard.

But you'd also get plenty saying that if you don't want to sleep with someone unless it means something, it's up to you to make that clear and then not sleep with them until you are sure you want to. People are not mindreaders.

Having sex with someone who says they want to is not being a bastard.

Deciding that you don't want to date someone is not being a bastard.

Well put trills

Well managed to escape from sex midget (as he will be known from now on ), the bar was getting very quiet so they were edging for us to leave. He asked where we were going to next and I said I have work at 730 tomorrow so was going to head home, his reply was to not wake him in the morning and I said that would be easy if I was in bed alone so he got the hint!! By the way I have a 2 hour time difference to uk so it's almost midnight here

Looking forward to Friday now to see how things go with mr rugby, God I hope he is taller than me! ExH was same height as me and didn't like me wearing heels so I am now feeling the high shoes again which makes me feel awkward if they are short

Well Journo has just deleted his POF profile without messaging me again so that's that then. How rude!

I'm running out of options again which is possibly a good idea while I work on my self-esteem, but then I do enjoy online flirting and the occasional shag.

choccy you were very, er, kind staying out with Mr Sex Midget til nearly midnight.

Oh Gast, that is beyond rude! RUBBISH. Journalists are fickle sorts. I know. I used to be one! I now work in charity communications and am a moral and focused sort. Obviously.

Trills I left about 1030, had to get home and change but I can still smell his aftershave, he must have bathed in it!!

Ah, so looking forward to date with Bee. Happy, happy, happy.

Tanyadm, talking of moral [angel] I have met up with 7 men now, and unless you count a bit of teenage fumbling (very enjoyable) with Bear, I've not ''slept'' (PIV) with any of them. I feel terrified to do that. I know I need to toughen up, but I feel I can cope with rejections pre-sex but I don't know if I can cope with post-sex rejection. bear rejection me (as a ltr gf) before the teenage style fumblings so that hasn't hurt.
I'm due a slip up
But can I cope with it!? Omg, I need a protective forcefield.

Read rule 6 again no more!

Tanyadm, glad the date with bee is arranged! I'll be out tomorrow night. Nervous. He's so nice.

Oh Ghast re the poem and the Knobjockey!! Glad I'm not alone in attracting nutters and angry folk? Plus I think it is ok to feel a bit hurt after being given the heave-ho but if they've not ghosted you you can't really justify not taking it with good grace can you???

choccy and sex midget! OMG hilarious. So glad you got away!! Am going to deffo make the loo update a 'thing' from now on -if I ever go on another date because you lot are so hilarious!

Waving from where I'm sitting you are being consistent in that you are 'open' to a relationship with Soho even on a pretty relaxed basis, where as he is all over the blinking show possibly dictated only by his knob Great that you've a date with MrWriter - yey!!

MrLovelyBumbleChap (MrLBC) has said yes to meeting, he wants to give me a call and chat on the phone over the weekend (fair do's). Told him I'm free Tues and he said 'he'll confirm at the weekend' to
which I initially thought 'he's not exactly biting my hand off' but baring in mind the few nutters I've been chatting to recently, I reckon I should maybe be thankful for small mercies and no drama..... So I might have a date next Tues.........

Haven't even had time to go online apart from that (and this) so that's me for now!

Good luck tanya (easy tiger) and Twiggy (one down, phew!) and others who I am failing to keep up with and have definitely failed to mention!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Back home now and eating biscuits in bed.

So Mr Boat posted a photo of him looking a lot bigger than he is at the moment, think he probably weighs less than me, which isn't a massive turn on tbh. Really nice, easy to talk to, acceptable baggage, solvent, no obvious MH issues which I do seem to attract but, I don't know if IT is there....

Mr Blond called as I was driving home, his profile says he's 48 but he sounds about 78 - think Norris from Corrie. (He is date number 2 for those of you who have yet to buy a program).

mygast so rude! Love prizeys comment about us suddenly changing our minds about them if they kick off!

Not fickle at all waving - it's the nature of the game.

And yay tanyadm!

Just re read my post - clearly I need the program as Mr Blond is date number 3, Mr Cash is date number 2.

Waving, Bee date is on Sunday evening.
