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

Tinder is definitely the place to be tonight. POF is disappointing - one chat with a very fun and attractive young lady and all the rest have been... yawn

ValMc1 · 25/02/2018 19:05

Ignoring - perhaps you need more practice

RunsforCake14 · 25/02/2018 19:05

Cover you can just sign up using your phone number. If you use facebook then as soon as you sign in to Tinder, go to your setting and hide your profile. Then you change your photo and info to suit you.

Cover I will stop complaining right now then, although if the question is how long since you had great sex with someone you care about...it's well over a year!
Val You are right I need to increase my tolerance levels, and when the kids ask why Mum is now a lush I will blame you x

Kinunir · 25/02/2018 19:16

Blimey Cover I’m pulling my hair out after 5 months, my longest dry spell since I was 14 Blush

CoverMeLads · 25/02/2018 19:16

Yeah I guess I could well have had sex a few weeks ago, I just can’t bring myself to outside of a relationship any more. Had a chat with my long term ex FB last week. I know he would too. But just, nah. Dammit.

CoverMeLads · 25/02/2018 19:18

Fuck it, I’m downloading Tinder

Bloodyuselessatthinkingofaname · 25/02/2018 19:26

Says it all really on POF . No offence meant but think I must be logged in via somewhere in Transylvania !

Yeah - got my first reply to a message on POF - shame he is so far away. Ignoring you can blame me - I think my kids quite like having a lush mum Blush

esk1mo · 25/02/2018 19:45

oops, thanks to whoever mentioned fabswingers Blush im meeting someone from there on wednesday for a drink.

he seems the only normal one in amongst thousands of “hey xx” and unrequsted
dick pics. one guy even sent me his face pic 3 different times!!

Kinunir · 25/02/2018 19:50

So I sent someone my face pic on FabSwingers three times and they never replied.
Move on?

CoverMeLads · 25/02/2018 19:53

Downloaded Tinder. Deleted it.

RunsforCake14 · 25/02/2018 19:54

kin Grin take me on holiday and i might reply

Kinunir · 25/02/2018 19:58

I’ve not transferred the tickets yet, see you at Stansted in April... Grin

BeenThereDating · 25/02/2018 20:07

Cover I managed 24 hours on Tinder. It wasn't for me.

Ginny70 · 25/02/2018 20:15

'Fuck it' is my new catchphrase (changed it from Bloody Nora). So, any advice how I can block people I know (exdh etc.) finding me on OLD?

ValMc1 · 25/02/2018 20:16

Kin have you broken the news to Miss I yet that she is not going to get another freebie?

ValMc1 · 25/02/2018 20:23

Think I'll just stick to this thread - the conversations are more interesting, lively and witty, and you don't even have to get dressed.

Kinunir · 25/02/2018 20:29

No Val I don’t intend to contact her again

Bant · 25/02/2018 20:37

(Sorry Val)

Thread rule 10
(subsection a:)
All thread posters must not be naked while posting on the thread

CoverMeLads · 25/02/2018 20:43

Runs I swiped left so frequently and so fast my forefinger has friction burns. Whilst squawking “HOW old?” “HOW old?” “HOW old?” like some disbelieving parrot.

My brother is 51. My best mate’s husband is 46. My ex is 48. My other ex is 53. My ex husband is counts 63. I reckon I can gauge the age of guys pretty well. And let me tell you there are some big ol’ liars on Tinder.

I’m not dating these guys. I’d rather hang up the “Closed” sign over my vajayjay and have done.

CoverMeLads · 25/02/2018 20:45

Ginny false moustache and sunglasses? Wink
Seriously, no idea, but my money would be on “you can’t” Confused

ValMc1 · 25/02/2018 20:48

Bant - sorry don't have subsection a but I'll put some socks on
