Online Dating ... and this is a thread for while we are waiting! Dating thread 109

999 replies

loobyloo1234 · 24/10/2016 13:51

I know these threads have come in handy for many dipping their toes for the first time into OLD. So here we are again ... another 1000 posts down:

  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

No don't settle. Just don't. Keep going and don't just keep on with something rather than have nothing

Mrsfluff · 30/10/2016 18:36

I'm with Myuser - no settling!!

Oh Last, that sounds awful Shock

loobyloo1234 · 30/10/2016 18:46

Oooohhh you lot! Smile

I miss half an hour, or half a day and so much happens! Grin

Curly and myuser I don't think we're far from each other Wink

myuser - so are we calling Mr Shy, Mr Big Nob now? Blush
MrsFluff - loved the update. So will you be seeing Mr 31 again or was this a one off?

Block the copper!

I don't want to call him Mr Big Knob hmm maybe he can be Mr Lovely for now.... Wink

loobyloo1234 · 30/10/2016 18:51

I still haven't seen the Toyboys anything ... the longer it goes on, the more nervous I am though Confused

I don't know what's happened to me

Myusernameismyusername · 30/10/2016 18:53

I was Shock this was the actual face
TMI but it's not the length that was Shock but the width
Really didn't see that coming hahahaha

Myusernameismyusername · 30/10/2016 18:55

I sound so shallow! It has never really bothered me before to be honest it's not something I generally worry about it was just a bit of a surprise haha

Lilacpink40 · 30/10/2016 19:02

I now have two definite dates lined up, ignoring another potential as realised he probably doesn't have potential, and a venue but no actual day/time with a fourth. Fifth man I went on one date with is game playing to get attention, and I'm ignoring. Last boyfriend is texting and I think wants FWB option.

This isn't like me, but I like being in control Grin

loobyloo1234 · 30/10/2016 19:08

Haha I don't think it's shallow ... quantity always helps Blush

Go on lilac - you're on fire! When are the two definite dates?

Lots of lovely activity on here! So exciting when people are having good dates. Gives me the push to carry on through the rubbish!

So I've deleted and blocked copper. I'd like to carry in swiping and move on but I'm really really busy the next month or so. Birthdays, holiday then Christmas. Is it fair to try and date? If I say from the beginning I'm busy they can take it or not yes?

TessMcNess · 30/10/2016 19:29

So who knew nuru massage was a thing...Hmm

Myusernameismyusername · 30/10/2016 19:41

I had to google it but I think I would like it with the right person Grin

BaklavaBalaclava · 30/10/2016 19:42

Do I dare google that?

Myusernameismyusername · 30/10/2016 19:44

It seems like it's naked massage with oil where the masseuse rubs their naked body all over you

TessMcNess · 30/10/2016 19:44

I know a guy on POF who can offer that service myuser, just say the word!

Myusernameismyusername · 30/10/2016 19:44

I would laugh so much I think. Does he have a special table? Find out

BaklavaBalaclava · 30/10/2016 19:47

Ok, I googled it! Were you tempted by the lovely offered tess?Grin

Mrsfluff · 30/10/2016 19:59

Looby, I probably will......but I need for my back to recover first Blush I would also like to mention brag that Mr 31 was rather blessed in the trouser department, which was very much put to good use!!

Myusernameismyusername · 30/10/2016 20:02

Haha! I have really sore inner thighs Shock is that normal?
I have a smear tomorrow and will mention the bleeding

Mrsfluff · 30/10/2016 20:06

I can barely move today - everything aches! I'm not complaining though.

He wants to see me again and I'm keen, but not sure how no strings it is now?

Myusernameismyusername · 30/10/2016 20:07

It's a hard one whether to have a chat about it. Him seeing you again does that involve going out and doing something or just coming round?

Myusernameismyusername · 30/10/2016 20:09

You know what we need - nuru massageGrin

I did try to get up at one point last night and my hips had almost popped out of the joints and I fell over

loobyloo1234 · 30/10/2016 20:10

Grin Grin

Reading this and i'm jealous! I need to get a move on Smile

Mrsfluff · 30/10/2016 20:11

I'm not sure, I think both are on offer - whichever I want. My teenager is usually here at night, so there isn't the chance of much alone time.

He says he's happy with no strings, but I'm not so sure he really is.

TessMcNess · 30/10/2016 20:28

Apparently the whole 'erotic ritual' takes up to two hours. You'll be able to fry an egg on me after that. Sore thighs mean nothing compared to the acne and blocked pores!
