not feeling OLD?....dating thread 107

[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

Thanks waving. That is reassuring.

waving wow 6 kids you put me to shame!, pathetic I have 3 kids and have been married twice and if that puts some people off that's their loss I think.

I did get a bit confused when talking to to many people and wine didnt help on an evening when chatting but it was fun. I have a couple of men who still want to meet but dont know if that's fair to the first guy or not - I am possibly over thinking things which I have a tendency to do!

Pathetic I have 4 DC's! Not a problem except some want to start a family and I don't want anymore!! Petal talk to as many ad you can! On my days off work, I've sometimes met 3 different men

Men seem to be put off that I don't have boys. Also the age of mine (early teens)

Dcs won't be a problem then! Feeling very raw today and like I need a cuddle.

Pathetic I feel shit too! I'm up for going out tonight and got no one to go with

And I have fucking childcare all night tonight

Aw sorry you feel rubbish too. I have lost my lovely boyfriend who I love very much because he doesn't love me.

I went out last night and didn't meet a single interested fella. In London!

Aw * was it out of the blue? Or did you see it coming?

Username Funny how you can be amongst so many people yet feel so lonely! That's how I feel tonight!

Patheticfallacy I'm so sorry your relationship has ended its the worst feeling in the world. I'm not sure it's a good idea to start dating straightaway tho, think you need to give yourself time to process it and to grieve. Also OLD can be harsh!

I agree. I'm just using it as a distraction and am not bothered about meeting anyone just now. It wasn't a shock really. I sort of knew.

Just message him if you feel like it! But I'm not a game player.

I agree with outnumbrd

Yeah waving just do it!

A bit of unexpected telephone sex with MrWoodsman last night. I am burning up for our date now , he ticks a looot of boxes. Only downside is that I think he might be looking for a bit more relationship wise than I am able to give. We'll see, it's fun for the moment. And if anything else comes of thursday then great but if not, I've had a really fun few days! He.is.so.hot.

wave I've met Mr Walker 5 times now. We have date 6 and 7 planned this week. I'm wondering about asking about his debts as he previously brought it up. I'm not seeking a man to support me, but don't want to pay off debts. Don't know if I should wait longer though (& thanks to poster who suggested this, is on other page so I can't see name).

I think you should text Brad. It shows that you're mutually keen on him. I don't like WMLB book and Amy Young would probably say go for it!

Pathetic sorry about your experience. When it's raw it's so painful. You'll find lots of support on MN!

Hi
Pathetic I don't think having 3 dc will be a problem and if it is then you don't want that type of man anyway.

I had a fabulous time with Mr straight laced, drinks, dinner, cinema and then he wasn't so straight laced after all!!!!

Ge has deleted his on line profile and I've decided to do the same.
We are going out for dinner mid week and ge has booked a hotel for a night this weekend!!!!

I did wear the little black dress and he said he was over the moon.
HE seems very respectful but things got very sensual and he told me that he loved what I was wearing but that at the weekend I won't be wearing it long!!!

He us definately ticking all my boxes, even though ordinarily on paper I would have liked someone taller, God knows why as he is turning out to ge just what I really need.
Has his own successful business, nice stable family background, doesn't slag off his exs and looks at me like he wants to fuck my brains out!!!!

pathetic 3 dc is not stopping me so far :)

emily so pleased your date with mrstraightlaced was such a good one- and hoorah for more dates and potential weekend mooseburgers ;)

waving no I've not met Mr Woodsman yet. We have talked a lot on the phone which is how I like it- and yesterday it took a rather heated twist ;)

He is making my brain fizz right now, synapses firing on all cylinders. I don't normally do much dirty talk before meeting up but this felt really natural and so i just went with it. Glad I did.

He does tick a lot of boxes. Hes v tall (a terrible weakness of mine, I'm only 5'7" so aplogies tall girls) really nice looking, articulate, stable job, seems like a present parent, and judging from last night, utterly utterly filthy

He's either an amazingly accomplished game player or pretty genuine. I shall withold judgement until thursday though- think I have got the hang of not overinveating emotionally too soon- but even if he's just after sex I think that would be a-ok with me;)

*overinvesting

Oh sick hope you click when you meet. I often think if you've clicked when chatting without seeing each other that's a good sign as all you have is their voice and personality. Fingers crossed for you.

emily loving the sound of straightlaced especially as he isn't.. enjoy.

Well mrtall is just ...ticking every box and adding new ones that I hadn't considered to my list. We just get on so well ...and whoever on here told me blind guys made good lovers ...you weren't wrong ! Except the word isn't good it's amazing .
