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.

Hi all not been on here for a while, was taking a break from dating over Xmas. However, I had a blind date tonight with a guy who seemed really nice online and he turned up to the pub and he was in a wheelchair! He hadn't mentioned his disability before so I was a bit taken aback by it. He was nice but don't think I want to date someone in a wheelchair. Does that make me a v shallow person?

Mr tall knows just what to say! I had one guy say he wanted to paint me green and punish me like a disobedient avocado..like...wtf...that's the guy I ran away from actually

There's been snogging!

I am quite drunk

Yay!! Good updating Gast!!

Great news Gast 😊

Pole disobedient avocado WTF??????

Waving hee hee with MrTall!

gast ooh yey, hooray!! I get SO excited about promising dates

Destinys hey welcome back! The wheelchair is quite a thing to spring on someone. I would be taken aback to find out that way too. I think I would consider it certainly but we're all different.

Just been on match. Seen a lovely profile pic of my ex-via-OLD relationship from last year (the one with the amazing sex) he was (is) also a brilliant, fantastic person. Shame it didn't work out I would message him except I know he wouldn't take it well... I have winked at another couple of guys, but there's a distinct lack of irons in fire which is probably why the pic of the ex boyf made me go a bit misty eyed that and the lack of sex

Yay Gast!! Think cold shower now!

Hey polecat ! Am sorry but this dating horror tale made my evening haha -disobedient avocado? Bwahaha

After 5 seconds of deep thinking I actually believe PDA - short for Playing Disobedient Avocado - should be used here for "dirty sex" haha

Blimey!
I was out with a friend tonight but if i thought it was really for me, id quite like that boner that'd drill thru a mountain comment!!! Maybe not the first message but if i lked hm too.

It's certainly better than "great tits" least it's inventive.
Ive had a few glases bottle of wine.

Might get on okc!!

Hahaha!! I don't think I've laughed so loud in ages, disobedient avocado??!!!
PDA jolly is a brilliant idea not that I'm going to get much chance to use it hmm, I might sign up to Tinder after all
Yay Gast! Glad it's going well

Oh eloquent
Wine and okc a lethal combination😏

I need some PDA!!! That's hilarious i'd prefer delinquent avocado!

Yeay for snogging!!!

Dee, it is, but only for a laugh, i don'e need any more irons!

Haha when I got the avocado comment it was the first person I'd spoken to on tinder and was like....the fuck is this? Google it and apparently it's quite a common opening line

I thought i'd heard something similar. Not had it said to me though.

Not sure if Ive made a tactical error

I was on the way home and I met two brothers on the bus. We got chatting and we live near each other and i went fo r adrink with them. In my home town. Near my house. They were both married and it was nothing inappropriate. but H messaged me (finally) asked me how my afternoon with my friend was (afternoon?!) and I told him i'd met two brothers on the bus on the way home. Told him I'd gone for a drink with them and was now home and it would be nice if he were here. He has seen it but didn't reply. argh.
feel closer to the guys i met on the fekking bus

in fact, the two brothers I met on the bus, they've added me. one is messaging me. i see you know so and so? i'm having a cup of tea now.

just chit chat.
nothing that you'd need to hide if you were in a relationship. but have the feeling (?) h was out on the town this evening with his friend from home. Have the vaguest feeling that me getting chatting to two blokes on the bus on the way back to my home town was not something he envisaged.

I am simultaneously looking forward to seeing him on tuesday, and also baffled that we don't feel a bit closer.

am i pushing water uphill with H too?
I think tuesda will be some sort of decider.

In what way do you feel it was a n error? Telling H?

In other news it is finally my turn to have a date today!!

Morning everyone

gast what a fab Loo update!!! Looking forward to a more detailed one this morning!!!

handy I agree with you re the safe sex. I just came out of a long marriage. It worked for us. I just keep reading reviews about the copper cool/ merina and am petrified about the potential side effects. Some awful horror stories

Dee I am so so sorry about what's happened with you. Can I ask, in all this time messaging, did he ever tell you he was unavailable??? It's a rubbish situation but you'll get over this, honest.

waving hope today is a better parenting day! Lol at mr tall!!!

Welcome polecat

Welcome back destiny. I'm not sure it would put me off entirely. But i'd be taken aback in the same way if someone hadn't be open pre meeting about something else (I.e having children)

jolly look forward to using the PDA acronym for dirty sex!!! Love it!! . Although I am starting to feel that any form of sex is simply not going to happen for me anytime soon!

eloquent lol at that opener. It is brilliant!

314 how is that a tactical error? Maybe I'm missing something....but you only went for a drink...what are you worried H thinks?

Yay!!! red who is your date with? From recollection this is repeat with huge potential right??

Yes, this is about date #5. I'm a bit of a fraud on this thread because I don't do online dating and am just seeing this one man, but I need somewhere to gush and angst and live vicariously through those with more exciting love lives.

So, date #5 with MrF. The plan was to go walking, but with this weather we might just end up in a country pub for the duration.

Nevermind, second bumble man is still around needing to be messaged

I misread that at first.

red you're not a fraud! You're dating and have a rightful place in this thread!
So how are you thinking this date will end!?!

Aww thanks sassy.

Hmm good question. I'm looking forward to finding out a bit more about him, we chat easily and in some ways are spookily similar, but also have some really different interests which I'm still learning how to negotiate.
I'm really looking forward to some of that casual intimacy - holding hands, pecks on lips, quick cuddles etc during the day as much as as I am some serious snogging. It's a daytime date so I'm not sure how this evening will pan out. Probably with some sexual frustration.
