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

Smh

Destiny you do realise you don't have to do all that stuff? I do all that stuff too but I don't expect men to pay for it in in dinners and drinks.

Been busy on here!

won't let yes dating can be good for body image. At least that's what I'm finding. Chemistry is either there or not and isn't about having one particular shape. Men worry about themselves too.

I'd keep date one to coffee and cake and thank date for paying (assuming I was being asked out). Second date I'd offer to get same or drinks. Third date onwards play by ear. I have DCs but work so think I can afford to pay for part of whatever happens.

I met Mr walker today and next two dates arranged. I can't believe how different he is to my STBXH, seems in touch with regular emotions and just easy to be with. Even if it doesn't work it's a breath of fresh air.

Even more flabbergasted

Destinysdaughter Seriously?!?!?

Home from our night away. Wow. Just amazing, from start to finish it was perfect in every way, just like him. Oh damn....it's happening 😍

Prize good to hear about success stories. I'm hoping Mr Walker continues to be reliable he's already fun.

You enjoy it

prize how fantastic, it's the stuff of dreams.

Just back from date with mrcricket which was nice enough.

But just wanted to update on mrhesitant, he has given me £100 yoga voucher with a really lovely, gentlemanly note saying he'd enjoyed our lunch, thought I was funny and that I'd had a lucky escape as he was useless at relationships.

My faith is restored!

Prizey How fantastic! Tell us more all the juicy details

Cant believe this thread has geown so quickly. I was still on the okd one!

No news my end. Lits of dick pics coming my way but no get togethers.

Oh Clawdeen thats great! Good for him.

Destinys Really? I'm a fan of going Dutch personally. I like the idea of equality and sharing.

Destiny, men's clothes cost loads too, I know I have 3 sons! As for hair, waxing etc. I do that all myself so costs pennies, don't dye my hair yet and it's long so trim it myself. I spend pennies on a few bits of make up. The only thing I do like is expensive perfume but doesn't break the bank! I do accept if the man offers to pay but I do offer too.

single the dick pics! Just why! Puts me off straight away

I'v not had one dick pic yet! Feel I'm missing part of the old experience

As a man, I can say that I never sent any dick pics when I was OLD. Nor did I ever receive any!

However, I do know two female friends who used to send explicit pics to guys, so it isn't a totally one-way phenomenon.

Destinysdaughter I have long hair (so a cut is the same cost as a woman's), I spend a lot of time and money on grooming as I have a beard & I buy bespoke shirts and suits that may cost more than what a women may be spending on her outfit. Does that mean I should always expect her to pay on a first date?

I have to admit that I have sent a Dick pick, in fact I sent three, one of Nigel Farage, one of David Cameron and one of Paul Golding (I read that big Dicks were looked upon favorably and they were the biggest Dicks I could think of at the time)

At what point do you introduce a new person to your DCs to see if it could go further?

I'm not in a rush, but I'm wondering is earlier but very brief and casual better. Then, if that works, lots of small infrequent meetings, rather than wait a set period of time?

Background: He sees his DC regularly, we like and do similar things. I like the way he talks about DCs. My eldest knows I'm seeing someone. She wants to meet him, I've said we're just friends so no.

Lilacpink40 I read that introducing early is fine so long as you just put the label of friend on it. That way there is no major issue if things go wrong as there is no major investment from the children.

The dick pick I received that stands out in my memory was after 2 dates and it totally shocked me, he didn't seem the type. In fact it was from Mr Army, who I worried had control issues!

Who has read Penetration man Thread? Hilarious! Bet we could start our own just with OLD!

Waving Today I haven't even checked my Tinder messages, I think I'm happy to be single after all! The magician's briefcase, poo crumbs and micro/mushroom/tapered/Gonzo penises! And the thumb thing Eugghhh!
