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

Yay Kin!

Ok, I want to call him Mr Wildlife Cameraman but that's too long, and Mr WC is unfortunate, so he can be Mr BBC.

Chocolate123 · 23/02/2018 13:26

Just heading for a coffee with I guy I know very little about am I mad ?? Think he's a bit eccentric but sure why not!!

MargoLovebutter · 23/02/2018 13:27

Ohhhh Chocolate, sounds fun. As long as it's out in public & you are safe - why not!

Pavonia · 23/02/2018 13:28

Vista I tried a number of different approaches with Tinder messaging, which all ended up with me whittling them down to nothing!

esk1mo · 23/02/2018 13:28

choc well you can learn more about him over coffee Smile

happy for you kin hope it leads to MB Grin

MargoLovebutter · 23/02/2018 13:35

What's MB? (Need an idiot emoticon.)

Lovemusic33 · 23/02/2018 13:35

I’m waiting to talk to 2 potential irons, both said they will message me when they finish work, I haven’t told them that I will be leaving for work when they get back as I’m on a late Sad.

Mr Tall and dark, just matched with him on tinder and he messaged me straight away, tinder says he’s 11 miles away but I’m guessing later I will find out he’s 50 miles away as Tinder often says I live somewhere different Hmm

Mr Older man, he’s the one who’s 49, much older than me but he reminds me of a guy at the gym that I have a huge crush on but can’t have as he’s married.

esk1mo · 23/02/2018 13:44

margo MB = mooseburgers = sex

i have no idea why though

MargoLovebutter · 23/02/2018 13:47

Thanks esk1mo, I'm glad I asked, I would never in a million years have worked that out myself.

Good luck with your irons Love.

Mr Wales is still on for coffee next week. He sounds like he is into the same kind of things I am. I just hope he is not completely bull-shitting. I have no faith!

ValMc1 · 23/02/2018 13:52

Kin good news - and to think a week ago ...............

VetOnCall · 23/02/2018 13:52

Mooseburgers is from some dating advice type thing that likens men to hunters and women to prey - not sure why specifically moose. The idea being that men want to hunt/chase/work for the elusive/high value/hard to get moose, so if you serve up mooseburgers right off the bat you make it too easy for them and they lose interest.

Lovemusic33 · 23/02/2018 13:54

And today’s ‘unapropriate message’ award goes too...

‘Hi, we are working near you for a couple or months...could you handle 2 guys??’

Shock. Is this some kind of BOGOF offer?
I’m guessing 2 men working away from home, probably both married, looking for someone to tend to their needs. What lovely people Hmm

MargoLovebutter · 23/02/2018 14:00

Wow Love!!!!!! That is something else altogether. Are they hot/fit?

Aha, Vet. That makes sense. I read a book once about the whole moose thing. Somethign along the lines of if a man goes out to hunt & slays him a moose, then he feels like a king and wants to stuff the moose head and hang it on the wall, so everyone can see he bagged himself the moose BUT if you go out and buy him the head of a dead moose and leave it on the porch for him, he won't be quite so thrilled or want to stuff and mount the moose at all.

So many double entendre possibilities there, I feel I ought to stop now!

Lovemusic33 · 23/02/2018 14:05

Margo, sadly he’s not that hot though I’m tempted to ask about his friend.

ValMc1 · 23/02/2018 14:06

Love - what was your reply?

MargoLovebutter · 23/02/2018 14:07

I am a bad girl old bag and need to stop thinking about 2 on 1 action! I am trying to write a report at work, but this thread is so much more fun!!

Lovemusic33 · 23/02/2018 14:10

He’s just wrote back saying “are you interested, we both love your photos”, I’m trying to think of something good to write back.

I’m not sure I could handle 2 on 1, I like to be charge Grin

Right, must behave.

pringlecat · 23/02/2018 14:13

First date tonight with The Greek. The nerves have now hit. Help. This never gets any easier!

MargoLovebutter · 23/02/2018 14:16

I always wonder how these things would work. When I was at Uni, a million years ago, I had a night with 3 of us in the bed but it was two girls, one boy. We were wasted and it was all a bit soft porn with knickers/boxers on and messing about.

Quite how the scenario pans out when you are proper grown ups and have to get down to business with three, I don't really know. I'd have to be very tipsy I think and even then I'd probably end up with the giggles or feeling so uncomfortable, I couldn't go through with it. What if you don't fancy one of them when they get their kit off, do you make them sit outside, while you do it with the other?

Lovemusic33 · 23/02/2018 14:22

Haha Margo, making one sit outside Grin, I could only do it if I was fully in charge because I think having 2 men boss me around would feel very uncomfortable. I am guessing they are possibly army, his profile is vague but states he’s looking for a relationship, he looks like a big headed twat, his friends probably worse.

Kinunir · 23/02/2018 14:23

Val tell me about it! Miss Teacher now wants to know if I can cook steak to go with the red - potential home visit in the offing? Meanwhile, Miss Intellectual has enquired about the April holiday we had booked - she must have found some money down the back of the sofa cos now she can afford to go on her own Angry

Kinunir · 23/02/2018 14:26

Love tell the better looking one you don't find him attractive but his mate is hot - dent his ego! Grin

Pavonia · 23/02/2018 14:31

Kin be careful, not all women on Tinder (and elsewhere) are what they purport to be.

Kinunir · 23/02/2018 14:32

What do you mean Pav? I'm very careful but are you referring to something Tinder-specific?

MargoLovebutter · 23/02/2018 14:36

Good luck pringlecat - I hope it goes well tonight.

Love - you could well be right about the army thing. Anyway, can't be contemplating action with big-headed twats.
