Tinder Temptresses Unite....It's Dating Thread 106

[PrizeyPrize]

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) 13. Matthew Hussey also very useful. And very easy on the eye even if you don't find him any good. 14. IF THEY SAY THEY DON'T WANT A RELATIONSHIP, THEY DON'T WANT A RELATIONSHIP

Destiny and addicted great news on the successful dates. It's lovely he brought you a present and destiny he sounds keen with the amount of messages!

My date with mr flowers went great. We had a few drinks and then for food. We have a very similar personality and tried to battle each other for power. We soon got a level ground.

I'm a very sarcastic and confident person and can be over powering on first meeting and this is the first time I have felt like I couldn't walk all over a man if I wanted. He takes it but gives it back and I fancy him!

We have another date booked in for Friday. I'm really looking forward to it. I'm excited about this one. I keep reminding myself it's all BS till it happens and if it doesn't happen I'm taking from this that I'm not dead inside, I can feel excitement about meeting someone.

Loving the positivity here! addicted and minop it's really nice to hear how well your dates went. And glad that posh has been a breath of fresh air for you destinys.

Am trying here to be a bit less forward with messaging welshboy, I sent him a little present in the post with a letter as he said how it was such a shame nobody wrote them any more. Fingers crossed royal mail will deliver as promised tomorrow so we'll see how that goes down. Thinking lots too about the bristle burn, loved that feeling after Fridays castle picnic/sofa snogging

So an update on tonight's date. He is picking me up at 6 and I know nothing else. He likes surprises and treats so I don't know where we are going, what or where we are eating or anything. For someone who is usually in charge and control it's quite exciting and mildly terrifying. I am very much looking forward to it though.

addicted Tonight's plans sound fantastically terrifying/exciting - can't wait for the update.

I'm with you on the suddenly finding "not-my-type" very attractive, and how blimming marvellous it is to find a tactile man. And one who enjoys me being tactile in return....Mmm! Ooh, I'm cooking for him tonight - must get some food!

addicted that sounds so much fun- I'd love a spontaneous date! Update us on the level of bristle burn too please, I'm living life vicariously until Saturdays plans with Welshie.

If that doesnt work out though, I am likely to bump into MrBadTiming as my back up plan is wine and chilling with my best friend whilst her dh and he are out on the pop. We will both probably be staying at theirs which means there could be a whole more bristle burn for me! I cant bloody wait for the weekend either way

How does one find men with jobs on POF? I don't really care what type of job.

All the menI've spoken to or met have had jobs as far as I know!?

Ooh love a good snog!

Think PoF are the bottom feeders of the online dating world TBH!

What's a bottom feeder 😂

AKA The dregs?

Quick google:

"a person having low status; loser; lowlife:

bottom feeders hanging out in seedy bars."

Lol there's definitely a lot of wired is on there and the Jeremy Kyle types too!

I find looks wise tinder has been the best but I think it depends what type you go for!

Weirdos!

I was on POF for ages. I had a job. We are out there, you know.

Had? I still do!

Damn, no degree. Buggered.

I was on PoF and have a pretty decent job.
I was only on there for

There's always something, isn't there Waving...

I suspect living in any city gives you a huge number of options from the outset which means you can really hold out for every possible preference. London I imagine the world is your oyster. I think if you live somewhere much smaller or more rural, you have to be prepared to make far more compromises (dealbreakers aside) and consider that maybe you could date someone who was 5 ft 10 rather than "must be over 6ft" just because of sheer numbers.

I'm in my 40s and in London and signed up to OLD about 6 weeks ago. So far I've only had one date which was pleasant but not going anywhere. I've been inundated with messages from men 20+ years older and from all over the country- despite me setting an age limit of + 10 years and a limit of living in London ( this is on Soulmates). It's been depressing so far!

I did find there was a much wider choice of eligible men in London. Am up in the Midlands now However I joined Guardian Soulmates in London and got messages by a married guy and had a date with a guy who used to be a woman!

So didn't make that much difference really...😀😱

No way destiny did you know he used to be a she??? Could ya tell??

Just checking in to say all going great with longdistance seeing eahother loads, really get on great, lots of laughs and great sex.
Seven weeks now. Eeeekkk
Wasn't expecting to meet someone I like this much so soon, but just gonna go with the flow.

We Met on Match for anyone interested, and he only popped up as he was visiting his brother in my area that weekend. Otherwise would never have met.

I had some success with Pof, tinder I couldn't be bothered with, lots of matches but zero personality from most.
Off all dating apps now though.

Glad to hear you are all doing a lot better than me... All I get is "hi" from guys who are not working at the moment when asked what they do for living.. I appreciate that times are though but there is definitely a trend developing. Thinking about trying another dating site. Perhaps something where one can filter people depending on similar interests. Also looks are not thT important to me. In fact I don't like gym bunnies if anything I like men who are a little cuddly rather than underweight but there are limits. There has to be some physical attraction I think.
I think I'm doing it all wrong aren't I???
