The Dating Thread Number 122: Colour By Numbers

[ConorMcGregorsChin]

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.

I'm back from meeting Mr Spires. Dull. Dull. Dull. Dull. Dull. Did I mention how dull he is? Next!

Hi Eleanor - not sure about Okcupid. I'm on Guardian Soulmates though which is quite good.

Been gah Well your not-caring strategy proved useful!

Been was be really dull? 😂😂

He definitely didn't pass my kitchen worktop test

What's the kitchen worktop test?

Waiting to see what the kitchen work top test is

I believe it's like the Pepsi taste challenge except with more grunting

Oh you lot... . That brought Bant out of retirement!

I quite like Smeaton's test though.

I try to imagine such passion in him that he throws me on the kitchen worktop and, well...

Let's just say it wasn't happening!

Ha, I thought as much been didn't want to guess it wrong and it end up being something totally clean.

Ooooo I like that test Been! lewd arm gestures followed by disappointed face

Ha! I will be doing the kitchen worktop test from now on, reminds me of this evenings dr Foster!

Results from joining POF today
0 dick pics
1 date arranged for Thursday night

Go me!

Is anyone on huggle?

Ruby I've got a POF date on Thursday as well. Hoping it will be better than the one I went on last week x

Never heard of huggle. It sounds quite cozy like that Scandinavian homeliness thing. A log fire, pine cones and slippers kind of date!

Isn't a huggle more than a hug and longer than a cuddle? making this up

Earth You are right it felt good to say no. There was a time I was desperate for Mr Electric to write to me. I wanted him to apologise for not coming off pof as he said he would and to put me before booze. The fact he would put booze+me before his new date/partner shows he definitely was no loss.

Mr PrevIron is impressing me and I feel happy. We are boh compromising, but on things that aren't deal breakers and fancy each other. Maybe OLD can work!

By booze+me I mean a drunken ONS!

Yeap dr foster and the kitchen worktop test , it all ended badly though so maybe not the test for me

What is it with guys asking me out & then never messaging again? I've had dates arranged for Fri & Sun & they've gone silent. Off to look for someone to fill the gaps lol.

Same happens to me Phoenix. I no longer get excited about dates until a few hours before. I guess it's because they are arranging to meet others.

Eleanorsummer How long where you going out for with the guy from Bumble?

I have a date tonight (first date) and I'm trying really hard not to over invest and not think about it!
(Pootles off to hoover) argh!

PurpleSweet Try not to over analyse it as you don't know how things will turn out anyway.

Good luck Purple! Which iron is this?
