Step right up, it's dating thread 97

[MyGastIsFlabbered]

We don't half 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 not 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 (aka WMLB), and take from it what you will. 12. Don't serve up moose burgers on the first date (although this is still in debate right now)

waving please share the Limerick. Please!

I got linked to a YouTube video of one of the tinder guys I have been talking to performing spoken word. He wasn't impressed when I joked he was a small slim shady

Hi everyone!

roland I've tended to have these conversations up front. I asked a fair few questions last night, time will tell if the answers I got were the truth.
Re the phone calls, I get the feeling that texting is far more the norm.

born thanks for the question. Didn't think you were judging at all. I guess my view simply is that emotionally I'm doing ok and ready to date. That doesn't mean I'm ready to go into a full blown relationship. Getting out there and meeting people is great fun. I've had some really interesting conversations. I've certainly never done casual dating before, this is my first time and honestly with scot it's very early days. There is a connection and we click. We have messaged today and did so between last nights date and the one the week before. I'm not active on either bumble or Happn at the moment.

jolly I think your post is spot on and I would never string anyone along or be dishonest.

Welcome betty, I'm sure there are many normal men out there!

waving totally agree with you about liking the chat. How are you doing today?

314 the rules for the digital age is an update of the really famous book written years ago by two women. Was a bestseller. Is updated now to take modern tech into account. I read it, didn't like it.

Anymore dates this week?

Me I have one with mr driver was supposed to be Friday but had to change it to Sunday am looking forward to it but teacher is back on pof and that's irritated me a bit

I have one tonight with, I need a nickname for him.

The last 3 dates he's driven my way. So tonight I'm going to his.

Last date (3) we slept together he was driving. At the meal he declined wine. I simply said if he wanted to drink he was welcome to stay at mine. We both got v drunk but I had no regrets whatsoever.

Anyway tonight he was said "I'm not up for a drinking session" I responded saying me neither as I get my dd back tomorrow morning. He offered me to stay, but said it's totally upto you. Anyway I simply asked do you want me to stay or not, he came back with "I'd love you to stay over, I'm really looking forward to seeing you"

I really like him, and get the impression it's mutual and he's not in it just for a shag. Time will tell. He's quite shy and very respectful which is nice as I always go for confident extroverts.

No more dates lined up. And I don't really want to date anyone else at the mo. He's either unmatched me on tinder or removed his profile. I checked the day after we slept together, not asked him though!

Enjoy your night out Waving! Impressed with the speed!

Good luck with MRIDWAR waving.

Do you like the sounds of MrWig?

How far is far?

Yeah if they don't live in a 25 mile radius I tend to think what's the point.

How long were you seeing soho for?

And I find they ALWAYS come back! Usually it's when you've moved on, realised what an arse wipe they were/are and have no desire to 'reconnect'

I was doing that meet me thing, no, no, no, no, no, omg, maayyybe, .... when a picture of a man in a dress pops up. All of his photos are of him in women's clothing. Some in underwear. Posing like somebody in the sex industry. Good grief.

There is a 51 year old messaging me now and he seems ok, not bad looking, all his own hair, easy to chat to......... but he is {paul calf voice} a student.

These IDWARS, if it meant, go out, eat out, get hammered, have a laugh, then I could get behind it. Do any of them ever mean all of that but not expect sex?

I was thinking about what I'd do if H ever DID message me and ask me to go and see a film. We definitely liked the same type of films, I think, even if I were past caring, I'd still say no for the simple reason that he started off really liking me when he hardly knew me and then when he got to know me a bit better he liked me less. That's not something I'd want in a friend.

Oooo waving best of luck tonight!
You need that no drunk dial app on your phone. When you know you're going to have a drink, lock his number for 12 hours. It's natural you're going to have a wobble over soho, you're only human!

catty remind me, what's the story with teacher?

roland that seems to be bubbling along nicely. Need a name please!

Anyone else so over it being winter and ready for it to warm up??

Hey everyone, taken me a while to catch up with all your biz.

Update on me MrHr has dumped me or spat his dummy out as I was still on POF. This was despite him cancelling two days and bring non committal about meeting up. What a twat, lucky escape me thinks!!
I'm in trouble with MrTaxi and last night I had another date with bonnyrigg. I'm not interested in either but have no idea how to tell them as I def gave the impression I was interested on our dates but more out of politeness and I'm generally a friendly person!! Help, what do you say??

Also can someone tell me how Tinder works? I don't want to sign in with my Facebook??

Met him on pof in November he was a nice guy but maybe a little safe(boring) anyway recently I mentioned maybe doing something a bit more fun when we saw eachother he's definitely a cinema and dinner kind of guy and he came back with how I'm looking for too much commitment!!! I want fun not commitment i didn't argue I'm not begging anyone to like me I wished him well and now he's on pof saying looking for a relationship. I keep reminding myself of his negatives.

waving wishing you a fun time from me! It's meant to be fun- not just early on, but the whole way through! Not saying stuff doesn't happen, but on the balance of...

Are you on a date tonight waving?

LadyLou I believe she is with MRIDWAR. I hope it's a fun night.

loo update waving!?
