Dating Thread 128: the one without a catchy title

[RunsforCake14]

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 speaking to Mr Cure on the phone in a bit, so that’s made me a liar

Bant that’s fighting talk.....

Think they must be chocolate don't want to sound sexist but why can't they invest in a good toy like us women

I'd post some of the shocking OLD profile photos of women in their 30s, 40s and 50s in my neck of the woods, but that wouldn't be fair on a public forum. It's enough to make me want to join a monastery.

Some of them, of course, look amazing for 50, or for 45. Some of them however are gazing down at the camera, hair wildly askew, three or four chins squished together, glaring at the lens as if they want to slowly disembowel it. I've seen more attractive people in historic portraits of the Victorian residents of Bedlam, during their electoconvulsive therapy sessions.

I've also seen the photos people have posted on here before of the men of similar age, and yes, they're shockers too.

Frustrated and spent too much in Milan, feeling like a total mug and can’t wait to get home. Hope everyone else is having a good Saturday!!!

Poor kin! You’re there now, try and enjoy it by yourself. Beautiful place and much to see and do.

kin enjoy milan on your own, bask in the niceness of a beautiful country

Oh Kin - just bin her and get out on your own and meet some lovely European lady - how long have you got to go - must be miserable - I hope she is suitably ashamed of herself

And if you have got anything booked, for the 2 of you, change the booking!

While you are there, go to the football stadium - I'm not into football but really enjoyed weirdly

Ah Kin that sucks. Enjoy the pizza and gelato for the rest of the time! Are you actually with her or have you gone your separate ways? What did/does she have to say about it?

I'll just leave that here...

vet she can’t go anywhere - I’m the only one with money! She says she wants to be sure I don’t just want one thing!!!

Eh? She came away for a weekend with no money?! You're not the one who's only after one thing by the sound of it.

Does she not own a bank card? I'd be pointing her at the nearest ATM and leaving her to it. She's a classic MN Cheeky Fucker!

val it’s painful - she’s wanted to hold my hand all day... what’s that all about??!!

Eek! pudding that's ace, enjoy the rest of this love story unfolding!
Kin she is taking the mick, don't pay for anything else and show her how to withdraw funds. Must be so awkward, feel for you and hope it goes quick.

Kin FFS I think you’ve proved that that’s not the case, after HOW many dates. There’s clearly “issues”, or if she doesn’t fancy you she should bloody well have had the decency to put an end to things.

Right I’m taking my grumpy self off for a bath, then I shall return feeling peaceful and calm, to peruse the thread’s goings on and try to get my head around 2 dates on the same day.

Omg kin goldigger by the sounds of it !

Kin She's a mind fuck. Honest to god. She should grow up. How can she have no money?!

Pudding LOVE the winky smile! That is not a distancing from a flirty conversation, is it! What are you going to do next?

Oops just saw your last message: then maybe she genuinely wants a relationship. Just one with no sex. Which might be right for some men (WHO????) just not for you.

Oh and Pudding he hopes that’s good. Reply with “sorry, when I said soothing I meant GIVES ME THE RAGING HORN”

Or, you know, don’t.

ha ha cover that made me laugh :)

yayyy 4 pudding !

considering cancelling my cinema date tomorrow. ive felt mentally rubbish the past few days, lounging around in pjs. taking naps etc. the thought of getting dressed up and sitting through a film is exhausting

kin did you meet this lady online? Because if she’d had a fraction of the kind of experiences that many seem to have encountered, she would realise how lucky she is to have found someone so kind and considerate. Mid 50’s here and would love to meet someone to spend some weekends away and travel with... and not at their expense. Not happening here... lots of offers of “fun!” And she thinks you are after only one thing? I very much doubt many people would have been as patient and generous as you.

ginny I'm going to ask you lot what to do next!😂

Pudding what I want to suggest is "It is good. Very good. Come and soothe me ..."

But that is not a message I would EVER have the courage to send!

Perhaps, "soothing is good. Have you time for dinner when you bring the plans over?" Holy shit. I've no idea. I'm so crap at this stuff. Where's Been? She'd play it cool, in a flirty way .

pudding I'd send something like 'Why of course :) ' and then change the subject
