Dating thread rules:

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.

Out I love that reply! I hate when I'm asked that question. I have to try and think of the interesting things I've done which are few and far between as I'm sure getting past a level I was stuck on for a week on candy crush doesn't count

Lana I love your dating. Open mind and just going for it hopefully one will be good and if not there's always next weeks 😉

Claw enjoy shopping, your mr vibrator is always a story I remember, hopefully better dates to come

Out, I wanted to know how your day was so thank you, saves me asking :)

Out I'd also recommend the cut-and-paste suggestions. I seriously do it when online: pof and What's App. Cuts out a lot of re-writing the same background history. I stick bulk text in Evernote app, takes seconds. Yours was brilliant and you could have as a backup at any point just not twice with one man .

Biddy I could ask Mr SciFi then watch him drop the clay and run v fast . He likes StarWars and recent films that I love so he's jumped ahead of the others so far.

Claw I recall Mr Vibrator too (was username Lilac Pink months ago). It must have made dating history!

LanaD Mr SciFi sounds good - perhaps save the candlestick making for date 2 ?

Biddy or our wedding night never marrying again

Lol @ 'Out's Day'

I did do all that today but also, I was on the radio today. I didn't 'do' that today though, the interview was last week, but it went out today. Exciting eh? I've not heard it myself.

I shall have to do that with boilerplate text, not sure why I never thought of it, I do bid responses for work and that's all we do ;)

So Mr Navy Officer was lovely! Gentleman, well spoken, funny and drove me home. Held my hand as we walked to the car and had a lovely series of snogs.

Already arranging date two!

It occurs to me that if we match up all these women who want a 'knight in shining armour' with all the men who want 'a princess to spoil' it will clear away all the chaff for the rest of us!

Good news Polar!

outto Exciting about being on the radio! Have you listened to it yet? I was on the radio and my friends said I had a face voice for radio

polarbear sounds good!

What are you talking about on t'radio out? H&S reviews, psychotherapy or ham baguettes? . That last bit of your day provoked quite an emotional reaction in me. Nothing- nothing* - is worse than paying through the nose for a sandwich, only to discover it's stale.Looking at you Upper Crust at Paddington, hang your heads in shame.

*OK, perhaps the elastic in your socks going and them working their way down inside your wellies.

Stubborn something on a par..how about getting a runny nose mid serious meeting with no tissues near and everyone sat stil like stones?

My date cancelled

I'm struggling on making a move on the man I am talking too that I have known for a while, let's call him Mr Facebook, we had a evening of exchanging messages, talked about meeting up and sharing a hobby but no date set, I haven't heard from him since but I don't want to be pushy, we have been speaking on and off for 2 years but only the odd message 'how are you?' type of thing. I think he is quite a shy person as am I. Do I just message him and ask if he wants to meet for coffee this week?

I think I am going to give up on POF, every time I get a message I look for a reason not to message back, today I had a nice message but it's from someone with no profile picture and they have a user name that suggests they are looking for naughty fun, annoying as the message was well written and much better than 'hi sexy'.

I haven't listened to it, I'll get a podcast soon - I was talking about the co I work for and apprenticeships. They spoke to our CEO and COO as well but the marketing woman said they used mostly me!

stubborn - yes, Upper Crust at KC! Gits.

I delivered the H&S induction today :)

PolarBear Great news!

Lana sorry about the cancellation, did he say why?

LoveMusic I would send the coffee message as the ground work has been laid. If he says he can't make then the ball is then in his court.

I've got a second date on Friday evening with the guy who was slow to message me back after date 1. I'm worried he's not that interested but there's no point trying to guess so I'm just going to make the best of it. One thing is certain, this time it is up to him to message first after the date.

LanaD was that mr Scifi? Sorry to hear that. Has he rescheduled? Maybe he sensed you were the sort to ask him to make a candlestick?

lovemusic Message him with a coffee request - worth a shot!

stubborn The crotch of tights slowly descending throughout the day and having to spend the day pulling them up is on par with stale bread, (We lead a life of disappointments).

Oh, that's a bit poo lana.

Ooh, ooh - what about getting a couple of pubes caught in the sticky bit of your sanitary towel? In public, so you have to postpone the urgent rearrangement? .

outto Right, that's it, we should start an Outraged at Upper Crust Facebook page.

I feel so much better and it's not because Mr SciFi has said two days next week (getting car fixed today prob legit), it's because this thread is so funny!

LanaD Good news on MrSciFi! This thread is funny - cheering me up no end.

Something for those in need of a laugh:

^ It is dating related

That's annoying that your date cancelled lana. Sounds like you have the right attitude for dating though! At least you have a rescheduled date for the future.
Lovemusic you definitely have nothing to lose and a meet for coffee sounds casual, so no pressure!
polarbear the naval officer sounds ideal, glad it went so well.
All going well with wildcard. I was a bit upset yesterday and he was lovely.

I love the Outraged at Upper Crust Facebook page idea

I ditto everyone lovemusic

lana do you mean rescheduled or tried to?

I was supposed to be going on date 2 with Mr Decorator but I said we could reschedule as he's skint until pay day. I don't know why he waited until after I got ready to go out to say so think maybe he was hoping to come to my place which 1. not going to happen 2. needs tidying up.

Got a 1st date tomorrow night, I'll call him Mr Boxer.

Love the ok cupid song biddy

Allthembuckets I hope I'm not being too harsh but Mr Decorator doesn't sound like a great prospect.

No I agree. I'd be annoyed at his thoughtlessness and I wouldn't date him again.
