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

Wow that's awful toosassy To string somebody along for 6 dates over a long period of time, it's just appalling behaviour.

sassy what? So he said he was single and he wasn't? Who does that? Whats the set up? Is he with a wife/girlfriend? did he seem remorseful? Thank goodness you didn't invest too much or sleep with him. No wonder you are feeling knocked.
I find OLD quite draining, and so bloody time consuming! Thats before any dates. Don't blame you for wanting to take a bit of time without it. Have some & .

Did he have a photo publicly displayed?

Some men have messaged me but their photo isn't public, it is attached if they message you. I wonder what the set up is there

I'm excited for tonight but I have a spot! I don't usually get spots. It's a big period spot. Oh well. I'll have to hope that it's not as noticeable as I think it is

He is separated (so he claims) but still living with his wife. I gave him a bit of a grilling and he confessed he has slept with her post separation.
So not separated at all then. I've asked that he focus on his marriage and leave me alone. Deleted number etc.

Thanks all for support, it helps. I'll bounce back,I was just utterly when he told me. I may also have sworn at him (indelicately) when I realised he'd unknowingly made me a OW!!!!!

Never mind. Lessons learnt. Interrogation by date two at the latest next time, zero assumptions.

tweety have an AMAZING date.

Any others on hot dates tonight?

I bet the children don't know they're ''separated''

Thanks too sassy!

I'll have about 55 minutes to shower, change, put on make up and give kids a pizza. PLENTY of time. I'm sitting here planning it, run in, turn on oven, charge phone, in to shower, get out, throw pizza in, get dressed, eat pizza, make-up. go. Fine, I could do it in 30!!

Sassy, that is shocking, so sorry!

This thread moves fast!

Sassy that's awful. At any one time there are about eight of us on this thread and we all have some shocking stories - just got a message on POF asking if I swallowed .

I've got date number 2 of 4 tonight with Mr Cash - really good texting but don't think he's relationship material sadly.

Mr Boat from last night has texted to ask if I'd like to meet again. Probably not, but he was so nice I feel mean letting him down.

Definitely an advocate of messaging first, I get about a 75% success rate, which admittedly doesn't usually convert to a decent date, but feel at least I've got some control over things.

What's App is the work of the devil, never use it because it turns me into an anxious wreck.

Waving, I'm seeing H. The lovely H. So I feel nervous. Getting dressed now. Pizza in the oven.

Ladies, I am trying not to get emotionally invested, but there has been some intense chat this avo, and it is too difficult!

Good luck 314! Excited for you!

tanya who are you messaging with?

waving hmmmm, soho needs to up his game!!!

I've bounced back. Seeing Mr Pilot next week.

On a side note anyone tried Hinge yet?

Good luck 314!!
Twiggy the swallowing question is and downright disrespectful. What a tosser. Wonder what his response rate is to questions like that?
Well played sassy getting that date with MR Pilot.
I'm on Hinge sassy getting matches on there is harder than Bumble, but you may have more luck, also on Once but waste of time they are all munters

Sassy, it's Bee, my gorgeous and lovely first date this Sunday.

Gahh I hate it when you go to click on a profile and the screen moves and you click on the wrong one, then they see you've looked at them and message you

Sorry, bad namechange. will change tosomething else that ends in pie. Later.
Makeup on now. Pretty much ready. So nervous. OMG.

Twiggy, I'd report that, but I'm like that!

What outfit did you go for 314?

So date 2 of 4 is imminent and I went for black skinny jeans and heels as I don't think Mr Cash needs any more encouragement

Good luck tweety - looking forward to the loo update!

I plucked up the courage to message someone and they replied to say 'thanks for messaging but I don't think we'd be compatible' I can't work out if that's worse than just being ignored or not?

I've just had a message to say he's just left work. He won't be here for about 45 minutes then. More time to get nervous. I'll have to talk about my outfit then. An oasis v-neck wrap jumper in navy and maroon. Dark blue skinny levis and shoes with a heel. Not sexy heels but heels that give me height. Classy and feminine. I hope

Sounds v.nice!
