Dating Thread 129 - Time to put a new spring in your step

[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

Love if you like to be in charge, how about “I reckon I could handle ten of you, sonny” and see what he comes back with 😈

Assume this is from the NSA site and not POF. Although.....

Pringle breeeeeeethe, and relaaaaaaax.

Repeat after me : “I’m just meeting a friend for coffee. I’m just meeting a friend for coffee”.......

Kin I had one guy tell me that he has turned up on a "date" and she turned out to be a prostitute. I really don't know how common it is. So long as you have had a good chat first it is probably nothing to worry about.

Love that would scare the shit outta me, but I could be up for it if it was right. But I would have to know both parties well. Its a bit too bold for my liking that someone would start off with that but I guess if that is what they are looking for might as well go straight in.

Vet Mr BBC sounds promising.

pringle good luck tonight, I recommend you watch My Big Fat Greek Wedding in prep ;)

kin Miss Intellectual who???? :0

I haven't has as much luck this time on Tinder so far. Only a couple of matches this time but I am being much more selective with distance now. One guy that "superliked" I have discovered as he has linked his instagram account, is friends with a guy I was talking with a few weeks ago but it kind of fizzled out. He looked interesting, has a prosthetic leg, but he has photos of him jumping, skateboarding and surfing. I like that kind of determination :)

Mr A is coming round (supposedly) at 5:30. I am going to try and be as light and airy fairy as usually and show no hint of pissed offness. I just hoovered and mopped the house in preparation......not sure why as I am sure he doesn't give a damn if my floors are clean and I've lost interest, haven't I??

That’ll be a no

Don’t know if you remember my getting all worried about the state of my oven?

That’s probably the next step after the Looming Test for me.....

Cover put him through the worktop test first and he won't care about the oven after

Kin but he has to be a decent cook (as I burn water) and I fully intend his working up an appetite....

Cover, it was on POF and not a hook up site. I’m tempted to redirect him to the correct site

This thread is basically the best possible chat I could have with my friends. From mooseburgers, to kitchen worksurfaces, to how to clean your oven ...

Vet What is KOKO?

Pudding How did that meeting come about? What was that conversation like? Never mind pissed-off-ness. His response was classic defensiveness. It could be for a number of reasons: He's being employed by you and doesn't want to breach the professional thing, AKA wants to get paid if things go sour; he can't bear the sight of you and yet he's working for you (she's beautiful, I seem to remember ); is just generally nervous/ terrified, for reasons none of us have yet speculated upon (for such an invested crowd, impossible to believe, I know .

Regardless of what happens, you like each other. That much is clear. You fancy each other. That is also obvious. But it is a bit complicated at the moment. Be happy in the rest of this paragraph, regardless of how things work out, and just enjoy having a laugh and looking at how lovely your house is going to look.

In other words, don't do what I'd do. Be more cool

Love how about telling him you have several friends who would also like to join in.

Right, have sent my reply, I have wrote....

That sounds great, I hope you don’t mind me bring along ten or so friends? We can make it a orgy, I will bring some toys and a video camera, I hope you enjoy BDSM as I enjoy seeing men in pain.

Kin Steak and red wine!!! - whose house? Cane and whip eh?

Val I have kids in mine all weekend, plus my bathroom still isn't completely finished... If it's hers, everyone here already knows I have the whip

love hahhahaha

Ginny it was the meeting that should have happened yesterday, we re-scheduled it today. I just text him to see if we can make it a bit later (as I
have been so distracted with tinder ;) I am working. he replied straight away. I was tempted to reply " so you can use your phone".....but thought better of it.

KOKO: keep on keeping on. And yes, you are right, with your thoughts. I can cool off now.

Cover I remember your oven. My house is gleaming and there is a fresh pan of homemade soup bubbling on the hob. Just going to put some bread in the oven and roast some coffee. Oh shit, I am not trying to sell my house, just my wares..........

love hahaha brilliant response ;)

Good reply Love although if he replies that he's well up for it you might have to make some really iffy phone calls

Kin she has a brass neck on her that one. You're well rid. Miss Sponger I mean, not the new iron. I would agree to be careful on the first meeting and keep it on neutral territory.

Ginny KOKO is keep on keeping on (in this case keep on meeting twats if previous experience is anything to go by).

Pudding good luck with Mr A this evening, not that you need it. Will be interesting to see how he behaves after the messages that were sent - I think it'll tell you a lot.

Pringle good luck for date night!

Mr BBC is showing a good messaging game so far. As I said, I'm not banking on anything coming of it, he's just literally the only box ticker I've seen in days.

Lovely guy nice and relaxing chatting easily but although he was only a few years older I think I need a younger model. Back to swiping

I did get a reply, he accused me of being sarcastic (thank god he didn’t think I was serious). He’s still messaging me trying to ask me normal questions but I am continuing with the sarcasm.

Love you’re a star

Kin whats this about a whip?? I need screenshots of your profile! Or to rejoin POF, and the former seems preferable at the moment....

KOKO: Got it!

Love You are doing the loving kind (I think that was the first line of a song in the 70s) a great service

Pudding It may be he's younger and a bit more nervous. Which perhaps means the timing's not right. But I hope you enjoy each other's professional opinion this evening.

pudding best wishes for tonight

cover my whip is old and leathery, just like me. You wouldn't want to see it.

vet I know, I know. If your iron really is from the BBC, I'm available for background checking if required

chocolate good luck in your search for a younger model

New iron alert here - Miss Trekkie. I appreciate her favourite Enterprise captain being Picard, makes this follicly challenged me feel good . She's suggested a quick coffee after work tonight - driving 8 miles to her area so soon is too keen though, right?

Put it that way, yeah, I’ll pass

Re Miss Trekkie I’m not sure; everyone’s different. I wouldn’t suggest it or agree to it, but that’s just me.
Be interesting to see which way the Thread Massive goes with this

kin I get cold feet if I wait too long, if you feel it go for it. Public place, short meeting.....see how things go? Be safe ;)

I just did a stupid thing, went to pause my account otherwise I sit their swiping all night and deleted it by mistake. I was chatting to a nice english/ dutch guy as well. Fuck.

Go for it Kin - what have you got to lose- only 8 miles - good luck
