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 No, you shouldn't. Is there any way in which he could respond that would make you feel better, either now, or longer term?

What does london mean about sloppy seconds!! Asshole.
Waving, no don't text soho.

I know it might be hard to shut down my friendship with bear. But what would i be losing, really. .. one sort of friend who lives miles and miles away.

314Romaniac · 21/02/2016 18:57

Waving that's exactly how i felt after a date with H. Topped up. Then his poor communication was like withdrawal.

I dont miss it.

BornToFolk · 21/02/2016 18:58

Sorry, yes, I meant is there anything he could say to you tonight that would make you feel better about the whole situation?
I totally understand what you mean about a fix. Totally. I was like that with Mr2015 and it was not at all healthy. It stemmed from an insecurity about how he felt about me, so I needed constant reassurance.

FFS someone sent me a message on Zoosk 35 minutes ago just saying 'hi', 5 minutes ago they sent another one saying 'a bloody reply would be nice' Angry

Does anyone on here fancy setting up a lesbian commune with me?

Ah, bugger it! One of the guys I matched with on Tinder has replied with the sweetest message saying he's sorry butt he was swiping while away for the weekend and is now back in Cornwall...200 miles from me Sad
This weekend can just fuck right off, as far as I am concerned. I am going to go to bed early and hope that MrEloquent does not reply today cos with my luck , it'll be bad news...

... ho, hi, ho it's off to work we go.

Ask him if he knows Dopey and if he would introduce you. Smile

A Brighton-based commune sounds marvellous! I'm not sure I could go lesbionic though, I like cock men too much...Grin

A dating thread meet up also sounds marvellous. It would either end with us all crying into our wine, or more, likely borrowing each others' phones so we could tell all our irons off for being idiots and "not wanting relationships" wah-wah-wah.

314 do you think your friendship with Bear is standing in the way of you finding someone to have a proper relationship with? If not, you may as well keep it going.

Comedian from Bristlr has just replied to my message and says I'm funny...things are looking up! Grin

MyGastIsFlabbered · 21/02/2016 19:38

No I don't know I could go full lesbian, but I'm just sick of men's crap right now.

I'm happy to host a meet up if people want to come to Brighton? Shame we can't organise it in time for the Match social!

"It's like a fix. We have a long conversation or a date and I'm ok. and then after a little while I'm not again"

Waving, that's exactly how I felt when I was seeing Walt. But I didn't feel like that when I was seeing Mr C. The difference was that Mr C was so much better at communicating between dates. So although I think it's partly my personality that made me feel so anxious, it was also because I felt a lot more secure in my relationship with Mr C than I did when I was seeing Walt.

It's a dating site. I've not joined but I'm in a little town compared to her city but said lots of men.
