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

Waving yes, we are planning to, hopefully next week.

No date for me tonight, he cancelled this morning cause he's ill. Honestly men and Illness just now, my ex has had the flu for 10 days, he's been pretty much off work and in bed that while time and I've had the kids. Got them tonight now too. I'd be lucky if I got a day in bed. No idea if this guy has blown me off but I have a bottle of wine and Hagan daz tonight so sod it!!

Hi ladies. Been lurking for a while and about to start OLD. Can I join please?

Hello lovely daters! Thank you so much for your responses.

Jolly, I'm very glad to hear your perspective. While I enjoy his company very much, I was uncomfortable with the thought that I had entered into something without realizing it. But yes, you're right, there does seem to be a fast pace. Last night he took me to meet a large group of his friends. They were all extremely welcoming and nice in general. What an exuberant group!

Red, I'm not sure I have a good answer. On the one hand, I would normally say slow is good, no need to rush anything. However, in finding there is something to be said for a direct approach in which I know exactly where I stand with him.

When we arrived there he introduced me be saying "everyone, this is Panda. My queen". Never been called that before!

With Tinder do you have to sign in through Facebook??

Hi waving and ladies. Joined plenty of fish. God it's terrifying

Pilot that's the only one I've joined too and got chatting to quite a few people but also it was slim pickings in another sense. Guess depends what you looking for.

My issue tonight is I had a second date with someone from there and he's called off sick. Now it might well be genuine (he's done all the chasing) or he might have blown me off. I'm scared to go back on POF tonight for a bit of a flirt in case he sees me online.

Ugh teacher just texted again. (He finished it last last Sunday saying I was looking for more commitment when I wanted more fun !!) then text on Tuesday asking how I was etc and then tonight again same stuff but saying he misses me and he knew he would. Asking what I'm up to I've lied and said I'm out with the girls messing with my head!!!

He is hoping that now he has laid out his terms, you'll accept his terms?? Ie, v casual.

How do you feel about that Catty?

I'm not going to be a fb for him if he thinks having more fun is just sex then he's wrong. I'm just wondering what's in his head?!

Hi all.

Any chance I can join you? I joined pof this week and it's been, errrrmmmm, interesting!

Can I just ask, is there a "norm" in terms of timescales with regard to chatting and then meeting up?

Personally (and I've only been at this game just a week and a half) but I'd meet up as soon as you can with someone you have a conversation with that doesn't fizzle out within the evening.

Happy Valentines Day Ladies
Lets hope we are all in love ❤ for next feb 14th.
Opened my match account again,but not yet paid,but having lots of views and winks and 6 new messages waiting,might have to pay today as a treat to me just to read them

Happy Valentine's, my lovelies!

Got a cute message from my Tinder iron (aye, the grumpy one) this morning, and there maybe a more....rural iron. So I have Arty and Rural.

Thanks Tanyadm, I am going out for lunch with a lovely friend later, he has invited my two dc but only the youngest will come. I know how his brain works, he invited my dc so that it won't look romantic. We aren't like that. We lived together for years, we worked together before that, we have never, ever had one drunken whoops! He is an attractive man. I think I've always felt he is too big (for me). This man is definitely for the taller women out there. Not that any of this has ever been discussed. Oh goodness no. He is the only male friend I have where the boundaries are so very clear though. If you know what I mean. Which is good.
Mr Canceller has replied to my last email. It's another non-flirtatious one, about his home! He likes natural materials. Don't we all.

And Mr Renewal Energy and replied and another kind of crazy man with a bonkers profile has written to me, so I 'd better reply to these mails and then have a shower. Curly hair today I think. Tiz quicker.

I'll catch up on reading the thread now.

I just wondered if any of you guys expected a gift on valentine days from a man you just started dating?

I ask because I been seeing someone for 3 weeks, met up 4 times and slept together on the last date. He made a comment saying someone might be knocking on my door, it may been a joke but I think I see that as a red flag if he didn't bother to send me flowers because of that comment he made. Am I being unreasonable here?

Ok, well, the one with the really good profile (I messaged him initially) I'm going to give up on him. He's 53, which is definitely the upper end of who I'd like to date. I only messaged him because his profile was intelligent, humorous and eccentric. He's now sent in total three succinct and merely factually responsive answers the questions I've asked him, with no extra detail and no questions to me. It's like somebody else wrote his profile or he thinks he can do better than me. So, ''next!''. Mr renewable energy says we'll chat about arranging coffee later in the week, but I'm not sure that will happen. I'd have to go back to him. Right, so now I go and respond to MrCanceller, who is my favourite to chat to. He could be my friend in real life.

Mags I can't believe H stole your profile!! That's such poor form but helpful to see what he's really like.

I finally messaged someone on line, had really good flirtatious banter but he turned it smutty. Not for me at this stage. And this might sound terrible but he kept putting there when he should have said their, it really put me off!!!

Met a friend of a friend Friday eve, he's asked me on a date this evening. This will be my second go since separating. He seems lovely and is a lot of fun, but I don't fancy him. I want to fancy him so am hoping he's a grower!
