[tanyadm]

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.

OMG. Sorry for the late update, he's just left. I'm horribly smitten. He's lovely, we had loads to talk about, he's got a very sexy NZ accent, great kisser, he called me beautiful, it was just amazing. Cancelled J1 today so I could spend more time with Teach

So obviously this means I'm going to get horribly burnt doesn't it? I'm trying not to think too much about it right now. But am stupidly from ear to ear.

Gast
Lovely news,I hope you don't get burnt
Its a great feeling when it goes well

Ooh Gast am doing a happy dance around the kitchen!!!!!!!!!! Yey!!

You can still keep your feet on the ground whilst grinning! Brill update!!

Yay gast what a lovely lovely update!!!
Just enjoy this feeling and don't worry too much about what's next. Too often we miss out on feelings in the here and now. Don't do that.

So so happy for you! It was the shoes that did it!

I forgot to mention with all the excitement about Teach that I had a message from MrCS last night too

Handy - no I heard nothing?! So strange. I sent him a text saying I had made other plans which he has 'read' but not replied to. Two hours ago! Just shows what type of guy he is.

I'm actually quite impressed that with online dating you can weed out the absolute losers before getting in too deep. Onwards and upwards.

Hope you're all having better luck than me , well Gast certainly is

It just said 'how's things' so I replied 'bloody hell I thought you'd been kidnapped by aliens' he asked if I'd been up to anything exciting so I just said 'the usual, you?' He's just messaged me again today and I don't know what to do. Until I know what's happening with Teach I don't want to totally discount MrCS but I don't want him to think it's ok to just ignore me for over a week then just pick up again.

MrsL I so agree about weeding out the losers. Praps why I have met so few since Sept much better than enduring awful chat-up lines from some boozed up letch.........!!!! like I have friends to go out on the pull with anyway

Getting some messages from a guy who lives a little way away. He seems all-round lovely We are speculating about the feasibility of meeting. That being the case I'll call him MrFlight.

MrFlight - just looks yum. His messages have that irresistible quality - syntax. They seem to suggest he has an intelligence about him Learning the lesson from Friday's date, I might break with tradition and instead of throwing myself into a sober 90 min dinner date (distance and all that) might suggest a Skype in order to test the waters. Any of you ladies done that?

You must be quite a looker, Waving everyone on Bumble appears to be out of my league!!! and seems quite London centric (am Home Counties). Shame the timing doesn't work out with MrTall. But no harm in keeping that particular iron in the fire.......

Small update from me... Sorry I couldn't do a 'loo update' but the signal was non existent.

I'm just home after my date with Mr Diamond . He seems to be a truly genuine guy- no games. We've already made a firm date for Friday, when he is coming to me & ive had several messages from him since I left (one was to make sure I got home okay, as it was an hour or so train journey).

I've decided to just roll with it and if it pans out, then great, but if not then I've still had some long awaited fun!

Ah, nice update. That's good Lacoba - how's the attraction factor - any chemistreeeee? Could you did you snog him?

Lots of chemistry and we did a lot more than snogging .

This thread is getting a lot of action!!!

mrsl that's shit behaviour! What is wrong with people??

lacoba go you!!! Great update!

waving I second Handy's advice. No harm to keep that second iron on the back burner.

handy noooo so Skype but again I'm London centric so pretty easy for me to arrange face 2 face meets.

gast remind me? What was the deal with MrCS?

destiny what other thread? Totally missed that part!

dee how are you feeling?

So who has dates this week?

I have one being lined up with MrFrench, I couldn't do either of the days / times he could.

Plus one other whom is not yet deserving of a name as is very early days and we shall see.

I haven't heard from Teach yet today but I keep telling myself there's no need to worry (yet!).

MrCS was a top contender, we went out on Boxing Day and were messaging every day then last week he just went quiet, now he's just got back in contact as if it hadn't happened.

Glad other people had good weekends too!

Today's unappealing opening line

very feminine and explorable if also very passionate

waving you've got it BAD for soho haven't you? It's lovely! And if you've both agreed not to date then I'm sure he has more willpower than that.

Lol gast you probably tired him out and he's asleep I wouldn't worry.

Trills I can sadly beat that:

How does a girl looking like you have ^a PhD from ??

Yup, double strike: "girl" & "should be dumb". Nice
