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

“Comesoveryou” eh? Sounds like he could have been in the video Vet’s creepy message referred to does a sick

So Mr CloseBy is being a bit red flaggy to me; he knows I’m ill and said we could chat if I was bored. I’m not bored, I feel like shite and am not going to have the pressure of a first conversation with a bloke while I do. So I said thanks but it hurts to talk (it does, I sound like Phyllis Pearce. I’ll have to link a vid for those not familiar with Corrers).
Anyhow in a later message I said my friends were being lovely (and he made some slightly off colour comment but I’ll let that slide) by phone and message and he was all “I thought it hurt to speak”. Well it does, but if my mate’s worried about me I’m not going to not answer the phone, am I? And I can croak out a few words, it’s different from trying to chat to a total stranger.
Is it me being grumpy or is that a bit......off?
Hope to fuck he doesn’t read MN

Anyhow here’s Phyllis:

cover he sounds like a nightmare already..

my 3rd date went well, lots of kissing and spent about 4 hours together. i get the feeling he is looking for a relationship though.

im intrigued by MrFabSwingers though, we have ALOT in common, and he seems lovely and not creepy.

Feeling sorry for myself, lying on my sofa, stroking my cat on a Saturday night and then thought back to this time last week and realised it feels a million times better than lying in a bed in Milan, wondering why I can’t rub the pussy next to me

Esk........private kissing?

kin ,led on my sofa stroking my cat too.

One of my irons is a friend of one of my relatives, I have been told he’s into swinging but I’m unsure how to ask him about this as my relative maybe wrong (she’s not that clued up on what swinging actually is), should I just ask him? He’s not relationship material, not really my type and seems a bit cocky.

I don’t really have any good irons at the moment, none that I can see myself having a relationship with.

cover I’ve sounded like Phyllis for a couple of weeks now, causing much saucy banter with customers at work. I’m ill not sexy. Leave me alone.. unless you look like the Skarsgard.
Saturday night and I’m in bed whoo hoo

yes cover

on top of a big hill

Hope you are feeling better sick ones.

I went to the gym, got chatted up by some dude asking if I would like to give his daughter english lessons. He is quite sweet, not my type though. He always talks to me and I am always polite but this time he asked loads of questions about me (all in portuguese so I didn't catch half of what he said). Still not ready to go out, they do everything so fecking late here, not meeting my friends until 11pm!

English/ dutch guy living here sounds promising. He is chatty.

Already thinking about NOT drunk texting Mr A.........

on sofa with cat too -and lovely daughter. And copious amounts of Haagen Dazs

kin dont let your ex (in my head I think of her as the User) have the holiday you booked unless she pays for it properly

esk if a relationship came along would you opt out?

Love have always thought pressure much more on men to perform and not fair actually!

Vet well blocked men are so surprising in their dick pics, porn messages that they some how think will attract you to them!

Lots of to all poorly folk tonight

Getting fed up with OLD. An ex has just come back onto site and looked at me and no I dont want to ever see you again!

Plotting how I can meet some guys otherwise and which friends might help. Cunning plan coming up :)

To all that are ill - hope you feel better soon.

Vet I think that wins the message of the year!

I had 2 previous irons contact me again today. One from a year ago who used to send very long, very funny and bizarre messages. We arranged a date but he said his dad got ill and cancelled but never re-arranged. Not sure if this will go anywhere this time.
The other I was chatting to before Christmas but he was hard work. Just answered my messages but gave me nothing in return. Turns out he kept my phone number. He is still hard work!

And an interesting match on Tinder. So far we've exchanged some good messages but he admitted he's out on a date tonight.

Pudding I have a huge crush on a man at the gym, he’s not British, I think he’s Ukrainian and it think he’s married, I drawl over him twice a week, yesterday he stripped off down to his cycling shorts and vest in front of me, I had to try very hard to control myself, I have talked to him a couple times but I’m sure I heard him mention his wife and kids to someone so all I can do is dream, I feel like a school girl with a crush.

Runs that “are you open?” didn’t half make me Made me think of Open All Hours and that bell sound shop doors make.
I think my bits are more like Arkwright’s till, but I digress.....

mumfun i dont want a relationship. i was in one from 2012-2017 and it was a rollercoaster. so. much. stress.

im up for FWB. dates outside the bedroom, meals etc. fun in the bedroom

i dont want to feel owned or like someones posession.

I’m settling for HWB right now - my hand gets me off and makes me dinner after, think I’m in love really

Great - just had a message from MILFHUNTER

Why is it that all the ones that send me messages and that I fancy are miles and miles away.
My one and only match on Bumble that didn't disappear and they replied - he was only close by because he was visiting for a day. Now he's 100 miles away.
Same just happened on POF.
Don't swipe when you're just passing by!

This was a mistake, big mistake, huge

Are you ok Val?

What’s up, Val? Hope you’re OK.

I'm ok - catch up tomorrow - thanks

hope everything is ok val

Cover From a man's perspective, I'd be confused if I was told you couldn't talk on the phone and then I found out you'd spoken to your friends. I don't think he's being grumpy, it's just a man thing.

esk1mo Go you, glad it's going well and hope it morphs into what you want.

Love Thank god for the cats, at least we always know where we stand with them .

Mumfun Flights and hotel are booked and paid for and I don't want to go on my own. Miss I is taking the proverbial but I do wonder if I should just let her go rather than cancelling everything out of spite (it's all non-refundable). All ears if you come up with a cunning plan, as long as it works for women too and doesn't involve turnips.

Bloody Sorry about that, poor choice of name after a few too many glasses of vino last night .

Runs You know how this goes, you'll get a queue of good, local ones soon I'm sure.

For my part, I'm laughing at POF now - even the spammers are crap at conversation - 13 "hey there :-)" messages and counting...

Morning all... had a busy weekend working (and will be today too ) but wanted to send healing vibes to all those sick ones. Cover I agree about not talking to that guy on the phone but yes, you're able to talk to your mates. It's different. With friends you can croak and sound shit. If it's the first convo with a guy, you want to be sounding your best, not like a bag of snot and having to put loads of effort in when you feel rubbish. I would have said/done the same.

Kin Sorry you didn't get your steak... but nice to chill with your, er, pussy! As for your holiday and Miss I, tell her she can go if she pays you her half? No way would I give it to her for free, but that's just me. She'll STILL be taking advantage of you if she gets a free hol - but without even the benefit of you having her company (or the investment on her part giving it to you), let alone sex! If she's hinted that she wants the holiday, then this is just another sign of her getting whatever she can from you, if you ask my opinion. Which you didn't haha! And sounds like pof is as good as I find it! I'm sick of that site tbh. Same old same old.

Pud... all very confusing with Mr A, but I'd say at this point protect yourself and your emotions and only give back to him what you're getting - which at this point seems to be politeness, pleasantness and a touch of unreliability thrown in.

Val hope all ok with you?

I'm no Cover, I'm afraid, when it comes to keeping up with this thread and replying. It moves so fast! But wishing everyone well with any dates/meets today.

Mr Knows-he's-hot hasn't replied for several days but that's fine by me. He's shown me who he is. Not bothered in the least... because meantime, it's very early days, but have been chatting to a decent sounding guy off one of the 'alternative' sites haha. Refreshingly, he didn't plaster his profile with pictures of his anatomy (90% do, with no face shots). Rather, he'd got a couple of nice pics of himself and his profile sounded good. We've been messaging the last few days there, but yesterday he gave me his no and we've switched to whatsapp. And he's even hotter than Mr Knows-he's-hot - and sounds communicative and pleasant with it. And he's tall!! Bonus!! So we'll see. He says he want to meet. Not expecting anything and with work pressures/other things planned right now, I can't really think about a meet until next weekend anyway. He's the main iron right now but it's probs early days to name him. Right, coffee!!

Morning all :)
My head hurts, I'm only up to take ibuprofen and water then I will go back to bed- much wine and dancing last night (and a snog with a tall handsome chap who I then left to go and get a taxi so that was the end of that-lovely kiss though!)
Kin If I were you I would be going myself or letting a friend use it and certainly NOT letting Miss Takes the piss have a free holiday, but I don't think I am as good a person as you.
Val Hope you are ok this morning, why was it such a mistake?
MissCatt Don't work too hard, new unnamed iron sounds good, keep us updated :)
Did I mention my head hurts?

Miss I have talked to a few people on a ‘alternative site’ and have been pleasantly surprised, I avoid the ones without face pics and with dick photos (kind of ruins it for me a little), people seem more honest than the people on POF.
