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

We are all sexually frustrated on here
Never a truer word was spoken Grin Except gast of course...I really wish I could do hookups but I know I'd end up getting horribly hurt. Sexting I can deal with...wonder if Mears is around

YAY WAVING! Did you think of some good opening lines?

The way Gast is doing it is the best way,I've done hook ups,its fine if you know that is what it is,and you dont fall for them of course

BornToFolk · 14/02/2016 21:25

You just know all the men are watching the rugby, drinking beer and chatting on Dadsnet about...whatever it is sexually frustrated men chat about Confused

Dee, don't do it! I dropped £25 on a Zoosk subscription. Found out that the guy who literally had been messaging me every day since Jan has been saying "hi" each time and is 5'6". I politely asked him to stop.

What a waste of £25, I could have had several bottles of wine for that!

tanyadm · 14/02/2016 21:26

Think I have a third iron, lives further away than I would like, but so witty and good hair.

And it has been such a long time. You people don't know the meaning of frustration!

I know born to folk,I have spent on e harmony this month,could of spent that on match...
They could be a load of hi's
But I'm addicted,and I need an iron!

BornToFolk · 14/02/2016 21:32

I'm not sure if Mears qualifies as interesting, I've hardly had a proper conversation with him! But he is hot. And a couple of years younger than me.

To be fair, I've never tried hookups either. Maybe I should. But I am fairly sure I'd get too attached and it would end badly. Fair play to those who can manage it though.

DeeDee47 · 14/02/2016 21:33

Waving...
Drinking and sexting is a naughty idea!
Its been a month exactly since Mr builder,so that's too long Tanya Blush

In that case, yes, he's very, very interesting...Grin If I was up for hookups, he'd be ideal actually, light on the conversation, heavy on the hotness!

Have you and Soho sexted before Waving? When he was in Thailand?

A month, Dee! It's been 10 for me...Sad

What does good hair look like Tanya?

DeeDee47 · 14/02/2016 21:42

A month.....cue my hollow laughing Dee!

Good hair.....I don't know, artfully messy. Plenty of it!

DeeDee47 · 14/02/2016 21:51

Sorry Tanya
But I do struggle with a monthBlush

tanyadm · 14/02/2016 21:53

2 years, nearly.

Got a funny message back from goodhair, he is a contender despite daft location.

BornToFolk · 14/02/2016 21:54

Ha! Bless you at googling "how to sext"!
My first sexting was MrEloquent and he's ruined me for anyone else. It was honestly one of the best sexual experiences of my whole life. That man should write a book. Blush
Anyway, go for it with Soho. Why not?

DeeDee47 · 14/02/2016 21:57

Tanya,2 years??
Dont make it 3 girlie
My sister-12 years!we joke it now has cobwebs,obviously we are very different!x

tanyadm · 14/02/2016 22:04

12 years?????!!!! Feel slightly sick at the thought!

DeeDee47 · 14/02/2016 22:06

I know,I guess its a case of use it or loose it!

Happy Singles Awareness Day y'all!

I see the wine/Netflix party is on, I will be joining in a bit WineI am as frustrated as most of you it seems. Well except Gast of course. Grin I think I am going to try that road next week. It has been a looooooong way since December (Popcorn, definitely a meh). And I am currently sitting under the cat watching the fireplace in the middle of nowhere, so something NEEDS to happen. But then I am freaked out of landing a potential psycho. Gast any tips?

I was going for a full thread catch-up but there has been too much going on here! Yay Waving on your new iron! Also yay Sassy with Scot!

That Mears sounds hot.. Will think about joining bristlr and the "tune" thing or whatever it is called that matches you according to your playlists on Spotify (just need to hide Beyoncé and tractor/trailer country shit firstBlush Grin).

TinyMrGrey and MrTheatre are my only two irons at the moment and I do not really feel like keeping those conversations going so I am putting in minimal effort. Theatre said we could get together when I get back to the city which makes it next weekend. TinyMrGrey sent me a sweet Valentine's Day text complete with rose emoji, even though I had not replied to his last message on Monday. I too am turning into a dude Blush. So either he is OTT and potentially a psycho, OR he is keen to chase the moose down the woods and my lack of interest is fueling his?? Opinions? Have I just graduated to veteran Bitch now? Haha

Last but not least i have a bit of a Popcorn update. He ghosted me for a week and then on Thursday asked to meet up the very same evening. I said I had other plans but I am a bit confused...surely 7pm drinks at a hip bar does not count as a booty call, does it? He has sent another message on Friday saying he liked the place but had a disappointing experience there. No idea WTAF that means.

Oooh, match on Bristlr! I'm going in and I'm going slutty flirty..Grin

No, jolly that thing with Popcorn definitely does not sound like a booty call. Did he suggest meeting another time?
