oh god online dating is brutal ...

[Mygoodgod]

Honestly I've seen it all now...
Had been talking to a guy for a while thought we got on well
Tonight he messages me saying..I need to find out the woman you are.
Do you prefer champagne and oysters or cider and a kebab ..I replied I would prefer half a lager and a pizza.
Then he blocks and deletes me...
I was thinking

I had one guy ask me a load of silly questions at the beginning. Such as red or white wine, then one of them was chocolate or sex.

I can have chocolate anytime, but I hadnt had sex for a while so I said sex. It was all in good fun I thought.

Then he used it as an opportunity to start being cheeky and said most women say chocolate. So he made something of it and kept on and on, saying I find you attractive and kept talking about sex. I kept steering the conversation away and he kept steering it back.

He finally said his last relationship was lacking in sex as she barely wanted it and I said, maybe you were crap in bed and unmatched him.

I'm so sick of these arseholes.

ROFL at the suggestion of the rubbish taking itself out.

It does require you to get quite good at weeding people out, and at asking/answering the right questions. The best interactions I've had on OLD sites have been more of a free-flowing conversation rather than answering a set of weirdly limiting and artificial questions.

Tbh, I think they were bloody silly questions - I am massively allergic to oysters and can't drink alcohol right now, but I'm still hugely classy! In my head, anyway.

There not all bad ! I was lucky and met my current dp on a site I found in the app store there was not any oh let's meet for sex blah blah he was sweet kind caring we started off chatting as friends we met love at first sight and now would you believe we're due a princess December 25th ! I feel incredibly lucky and he is my soul mate

It just shows his level of intellect ,nothing else. Yea,rubbish takes itself out.

Due a princess with your soulmate?! Ok but being knee deep in shitty nappies soon may bring you back to earth with a bump

I had 7 hours - 7 ruddy hours! - of nigh on constant messages via WhatsApp on Tuesday for someone i'd exchanged a handful of messages with before that. AND a really shouty phone call. Had me really worried so I came on here to ask advice. Nothing since Tuesday evening thankfully, but I have noticed their profile is back online (with a lovely new heading) today - the main gist of all the messages Tuesday was they were never going back online again, ever. So a lying twat as well as a bully one then.

I felt like i'd been fired out of a cannon by the time they'd finished.

sorry, from someone...

"due a princess" 😂

Online dating really is hard work isn't it ... I'm finding it more and more so ... I get so bored with the generic copy and paste questions

I love champagne and oysters.

But not as much as 5 pints of ice cold cider and then an enormous pizza which I will only finish two slices of before falling asleep face down in the rest.

I wonder what he would think of me

I got deleted when I started a conversation about newts....
Actually I thought it was fair point & probably time I spent a bit of time with adults & not just my pond dipping DS 😂😂😂

Due a princess??? :D

Hehe. Loved the 'bin bag taking itself out'. I viewed OLD as a hobby, a bit of fun, and not to be taken too seriously. One man gave me a quiz, swiftly followed by a photo of himself, naked, sitting on his bed, with a bit of duvet strategically placed over his gentleman's area, in a bedroom that had obviously been decorated by someone in 1980.

Lelly you are morally obliged to show us that photo! It is an absolute crime that only you have been able to feast your eyes upon such magnificence when the rest of us are missing out

I think those Q & A thingies are for naff folk without conversational talent - its better to meet. I had a guy ask a series:

• beach or mountain?
• toast or muffin?
• cat or dog?

etc etc... and almost inevitably you I just want to say something different like you did... - both, bagel, hamster.

I once texted a guy I'd had a date with and said 'how are you doing today?' and he replied, 'toast and jam'.

Due a princess?

I'm a week into OLD and so far it's provided hours of entertainment for me........and my friends!! Some of the guys seem normal/pleasant, but some have me shrieking in laughter or wanting to head for a shower to get clean.

I'm 39 and 'Hey baby girl' is just not a good opening line!!

God he sounded like a total douchebag.

You'd probably arrive for the date and it'd be a bottle of Asti and a bag of cockles in a Yates wine lodge.

Princesspinkgirl what a wonderful unmumsnetty post, you've made my day.

Listen if that's the guy's criteria its his shout - why should he spend time and energy messaging someone he'll ultimately not be match well too? Doesn't make him a twat. Some of you do go overboard !!

You think this is bad, try looking for a friends with benefits type thing!

After my divorce I didn't want anything serious so thought a nice regular friends with benefits might be the way.

I read on here about a site called fabswingers which is not actually just for swingers and is a hook up site basically.

My profile said what I was looking for and was specific about one line messages would get no response, I didn't want loads of cock shots (why would you!) and I wanted them to tell me about themselves.

262 messages later, I had 3 that had read what I had put and actually bothered to put more than one line! The vast majority sent me pictures of their cock and some just sent "hi babe, want to fuck today?"

Clearly it wasn't the site for me although one of them did appeal as he was intelligent and could actually write a paragraph! Unfortunately turned out he was married!

It's brilliant fun dating ----NOT

I don't bother anymore. Would rather stay single.
