We don't have get through these at speed....

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 11. Read Why Men Love Bitches.

eloquent · 11/01/2016 23:06

waving be careful, he may expect constant sexiness on his terms if you start, that's always my downfall... i cant bloody help myself when they get started, i like to show off, then wonder why im just a right hand accessory. oooops.

Evening all, just have to rant. Two days of pleasant chit chat with okcupid guy, (he doesn't deserve a name) all very pleasant, overuse of emoticons but I'm one to talk. Told me he was single for 4 years, wife died of cancer. (Struck a cord as I have lost a loved one to the same and I told him my story). All seemed lovely. Then today he started being weird, told him I worked from home and he swiftly asked for website to my business 'so he could see my work' I told him no as I was prob being paranoid but didn't want to give it out as it had home address etc. All fine then we get talking about holidays and how he would like to whisk me away on holiday Hmm. Then the convo swiftly shifts to him wanting to shower with me because I was his lady....wtf? And then asks how soft are my palms?? Confused. Dear God! I honestly would prefer the 'nice tits' or 'milf' approach to this any day. Reeks of smarm and creepiness which I can't stand. Thank God I didn't give him the website link - rule 5 trust your gut!
Meanwhile Curly has messaged this evening said he's been mega busy and still hasn't set up gmail account and how was my day? Will wait until midday tomorrow until I answer that I think, bitch stylie. However I am dying to hand out my new second cell phone number.

TeaInACup · 11/01/2016 23:10

Im with handy on this, go with erm, his flow Grin.

Haha, kind of mirror him..

TeaInACup · 11/01/2016 23:16

Oh prizey i don't know what to say other than he sounds like a complete tool!

Definately keep curly waiting though Smile

HandyWoman · 11/01/2016 23:17

Prizey good instincts (ewwww) and nice WMLB tactics Smile

eloquent we never tire of a dating story on here, welcome!!!!

PrizeyPrize · 11/01/2016 23:21

Thanks teacup you are absolutely right, it's a blocker. Curly may or may not get a response, see how I feel. he is a hottie though

Am I just a prude? I think I may be. Can't sext for toffee, leaves me cold, but I'm know am adventurous and love sex in RL. Am I lacking something? Does everyone love sexting?

eloquent · 11/01/2016 23:23

Just be filthy, he'll be happy haha.

Okc is a weird one for me, i had to change my profile as i either got guys wanting to dominate me, as im walk me around on a lead all day, or guys wanting me to cuck them. They were all very interesting to talk to and find out about the lifestyle though.

eloquent · 11/01/2016 23:25

prizey i really had to force myself at first, and felt utterly stupid aand queasy at using certain words etc, but soon got into the swing of things.

eloquent · 11/01/2016 23:26

Thankyou handywoman :)

PrizeyPrize · 11/01/2016 23:30

Thanks handy Smile

That's exactly it eloquent I feel really silly.Confused

chatty nice one with the link to the book, could have saved me buying it! Where did you find that?

TeaInACup · 11/01/2016 23:31

prizey I can't sext either! But I know if you just mirror a lot of what they say, it usually works well she says, not really having a clue I don't particuarly like it either, and I don't think I'm a prude Grin

PrizeyPrize · 11/01/2016 23:37

Thanks for the tip teacup, something to bare in mind if needs arise. amused that men are thrashing one out to words being repeated back to them, funny little souls Grin

eloquent · 11/01/2016 23:46

A little bit of "mmmm i'd like that" goes a long way and variations of.

Just be weary if they ask you to skype them. I had a guy who i noticed was erm, making odd jerky movements while just chatting normally on there. I called him out on it and he said " you sext really well and i can't help but think of it when i see you"

BLOCK BLOCK BLOCK!!!!

eloquent · 11/01/2016 23:50

Don't be afraid to say if you don't like something though. You wouldn't want to get down to it and he thinks you like something...

Also a good sexter does not necessarily mean a good bed fellow.

I sound like a right ho Blush

Chattycatty · 12/01/2016 00:00

Just googled it and found the link completely by fluke I hadn't bought the book yet either so reading up on how to up my bitch got a feeling I'm a bit of a nice girl
