The Dating Thread Number 122: Colour By Numbers

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.

Been
I don't want to ride the lurching roller coaster of hope then disappointment and as I want a proper relationship I'm going back to old-fashioned and keeping it low key until we meet.

To all the men reading this in lurkdom

I realise that I cannot speak for all womankind but I've yet to meet one woman that actually wants a cock shot or wank video. Please refrain from sending the object of your desires such material in future. Who ever heard of the fairytale "the Princess and the cum shot"?

Thank you

Lots of love Been

Dot cum 🤣🤣

ConorMcGregorsChin · 18/09/2017 13:10

Conor, I'm not sure of his job, I think something manual. He's actually a old friend but was on POF. His name begins with R. I was I fits of laughter at the video. He hasn't spoke to me since and I think he's blocked me on whatsapp Grin

Queenofthedrivensnow · 18/09/2017 13:30

Crying !!! Grin

ConorMcGregorsChin · 18/09/2017 13:30

Haha. Pure coincidence then Lovemusic
as I don't think it can be the same guy.
Pretty damn grim though!
And he's blocked you Hmm Jeez. What was he hoping for? A Fecking BAFTA?

Lovemusic33 · 18/09/2017 13:34

Lucky Dawn, maybe she got 2 wank videos 😂 I think he blocked me because I didn't say 'thank you for the amazing video of you wanking over Dawn' 😂😂.

whatisgoingon1 · 18/09/2017 13:38

Where do you get those idiots ladies?
Cant remember last time someone I struck conversation with sent or offered to send those videos or pics. I must be backing off way before it gets to that stage in conversation

whatisgoingon1 · 18/09/2017 13:40

D) Sent a wanking video in Milton Keynes dreams DO come true Grin

ConorMcGregorsChin · 18/09/2017 13:43

I've done online dating for 4 years and spoken to quite a lot of people.
I've only had 1 or 2 unsolicited videos. But a few pics. I've blocked most as it seems they were polite online but then as soon as you move to WhatsApp, they get sleazy pretty quickly. I've learned to spot them fairly easily now.

"The princess and the pee."

A kinky fairytale. I've found my metier... porno titles Hmm

PhoenixMama · 18/09/2017 14:05

I tell everyone when I start messaging that all unsolicited dick pics will be sent to a WhatsApp group of all my gay guy friends. The nice guys think it's funny & the others tend to fade away. Tbf I got so much of this on PoF that it's one of the reasons I won't ever go back!

PhoenixMama · 18/09/2017 14:06

I'm struggling with people who reply in 2 word answers. How the hell are you supposed to carry on a conversation like that?

Beentherelefthimgotthetshirt · 18/09/2017 14:11

phoenix I'd give up at that point - two words equals two fingers!

Annelind · 18/09/2017 14:23

Been "Two words equals two fingers" should be in the OLD rules! Grin

MyUsername200 · 18/09/2017 16:01

Sent out another batch of messages.

Got one reply from a guy who said he is too shy to speak to me. Hmm Very strange. Have to wonder why he's on a dating website if he can't even bring himself to speak.
Another reply from another guy and we started chatting, seemed to be going really well & then received a message saying he thinks we're not suited. Fair enough that's his decision but it all seemed to be going so well, argh! Confused

whatisgoingon1 · 18/09/2017 16:11

I never send out messages first,done once and got less than few replies ,see it as awaste of time . If they are active online chances are they will see you but decide not to pursue hence don't contact you first.

MyUsername200 · 18/09/2017 16:34

whatisgoingon I'm starting to agree with you. I've been sending out loads of messages since I joined and probably getting less than half in replies.

PhoenixMama · 18/09/2017 16:36

Been stealing that - that's hilarious. You're all very on point today! Grin

Beentherelefthimgotthetshirt · 18/09/2017 17:30

I think most of the dates I've been on have stemmed from me messaging them. Mr Spires was me messaging him. He came back with a quip said he'd read my profile and the unequivocal words: "I'm interested in you" but I only send messages three or four guys a month, if that.

PurpleSweetPeas · 18/09/2017 17:48

I got bored waiting for messages the other day and sent one out. We've been messaging since and it's really nice. He's ringing tonight Smile
But it's such a game of roulette though

Beentherelefthimgotthetshirt · 18/09/2017 18:02

You're right Purple it is a game of Roulette. That's why I stick to POF. I've had unsolicited filth from Times Encounters so why pay?!
