Roll up, roll up, it's dating thread 96

[MyGastIsFlabbered]

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, and take from it what you will

Sorry born I hadn't noticed your reply. I have spent the the last 5 hours on pof being flirted with but not one suitable man but by 9 totally unsuitable ones it's been great fun. Teacher texted me in the middle of it all asking how I am and for general vague texts then when he went quiet I just got back on pof. Fickle I may be today but it's got me through the day. Sometimes a distraction helps and boy x9 it helped today. Night all

Definitely meeting Mr M after work tomorrow. I'll be 'doing a Waving ' and wearing a slightly shorter dress than I normally would to the office.

Still flirty messaging Mr P, lots of fun, but doubt we'll meet.

I daren't rate my photos, as I really only have two suitable ones ...

I'm not sure what exactly I'm looking for, either. I'd like to have someone to go out with, possibly away with, but am nowhere near ready for living with someone again perhaps ever

9 catty?! I don't think there are 9 I would even consider on OKC ...

So thank you to everyone for the advice. I sent him a nice message and told him so I done it yay :) wow I hate these things! It's hard breaking up with someone your not in a relationship as it's difficult to have a valid reason!

Well done, Slow

None of them are ones to consider but a bit or a lot of blatant flirting, and my god some of them are obvious about just wanting a shag, it distracted me from teacher. Maybe a low act on my part but no one will have their feelings bruised.

Ok someone settle this please :(

I was supposed to have a tinder date yesterday. Never gave me a number. Just messaged me on the app. Didnt want to come to my town. I was up near him but warned him I had a full on day. I would be done by 3:30. He doesn't finish work until 6:30. I tell him I'm not waiting that long.
He says he can be done by 5pm. I agree.

By 5:30, having heard nothing, i get on the train home. By 5:45 i have a message saying ill be out in 10 mins where are you.

I tell him going home I heard nothing.

Bit of a martyrish message today proclaiming he'd moved his entire work schedule for me to leave early.

Yes but he said 5pm knowing i was waiting around for him.......but he didnt contact me and tell me and it would be later than 5pm.

Not even his number or any contact from 3pm until he was leaving work. Knowing we didnt have a time place arranged.

Now what?

After that incident not really.......

If he'd really moved his work schedule around, then he should have been able to let you know well before 5pm, shouldn't he? And not even giving you his number is a worrying sign...I'd unmatch and move on, tbh, no point even replying.

Ive not met him yet...so honestly not bothered at this stage.

I am getting tempted to message Mears...mainly due to lack of other irons (and his hotness!)
Last time I messaged was Sunday when he was very mono-syllabic but I did manage to ascertain that he was hungover and watching the rugby...so probs not at his chattiest. But then, he's got my number and he knows I'm keen and hasn't been in contact...

Nope. Matched on Bumble last week. Exchanged a few messages, he gave me his number so I WhatsApp'ed at the weekend. I know very little about him really and he knows even less about me!
If I had other irons I'd write him off as not really bothered...but I don't...
Might send him something smutty later and see if he bites...

Hi. Fairly new to OLD and could really use some advice. I started chatting to a guy on Saturday. After a couple of chats he sent me his text number and asked me to get in touch. After a few prompts from him, I texted him and he phones me. I was a bit surprised but had a nice chat with him and he texted me a few times before bedtime. Then a text arrived first thing Sunday morning saying hi and that I was lovely which I thought was quite sweet. But, over the last few days the texts have got more romantic, loads of kisses and hugs and love. I do like some of the stuff he is saying but it is really full on/romantic given that I haven't met him - he doesn't even know my proper name (has never asked).

I know I'm an old cynic and my ex wouldn't even have said some of what this guy is already saying to me. Just wanted your opinions whether this sounds dodgy. I would rather call it off now than get into something I can't get out of.

Righto, one breezy/smutty (depending on mood...) message heading Mears way later on then...have a feeling he's going to respond better to smutty.

Scarf I think you are being a little hard on yourself. You've been honest with him about where you stand, right?

Waving how would Soho find out? By one of his contacts telling him? Yay for the 2 matches!

takingstock Hi! Yeah, that's way too intense for never having met yet. He's either just after sex and is trying to be charming, or is really excited about the prospect of a relationship and is getting carried away. But given that he's never even asked your name, I suspect the former...Are you interested in meeting up with him?

Oh, I hate being unmatched before you even chat! Even though I do it all the time...

There's no way he could know from Tinder. Don't panic!
