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

Pahaha Cover

And yeah, Kin, if he plays too hard (which can be later used as a disguise for cheating, as Mr HF did) then he can go in the trash. Hope you get it sorted with Miss I at some point. Thinking of you.

Woke up to several new messages on POF, got excited, read them only to be disappointed. One lives too far away, one looks way older than he’s saying, one is someone I have messaged before but he has forgotten that we ever spoke and one is a god lover ‘I live for my faith in god, god is love, etc..etc...’.

Banging my head against a brick wall.

Oh, and I had a message on another site which read ‘do you have a thigh gap?’ Hmm

ValMc1 · 22/02/2018 13:07

Love - it is so tiring isn't it? I much prefer reading this thread than most of the messages I get.

Kinunir · 22/02/2018 13:16

And so endeth things with Miss I. Onwards and upwards and I'm back on POF. If anyone wants to offer feedback on my profile I'd appreciate it Smile

Vistaverde · 22/02/2018 13:17

I swiped on a really hot guy this morning without looking at his bio and was pleasantly surprised when he not only matched with me but messaged. I clicked on his bio to respond to his message and about the only thing he is written is that he is married. Suffice to say I unmatched his sharpish. I feel bad for swiping right on him now.

ValMc1 · 22/02/2018 13:20

Oh Kin - at least you can move on now. I'd be happy to check you out. As you say, onwards and upwards.

Vistaverde · 22/02/2018 13:20

Cat, sorry but I think I would leave well alone. Sounds like it could all get very messy.

Kin, I hope you are doing ok.

Love, it gets very tedious doesn't it. I got a message from someone yesterday asking me if I liked his boobs.

SpringtimeSun · 22/02/2018 13:22

Onwards and upwards Kinunir I'm glad you got a chance to speak to her for some closure.
I'm on PoF if you want me to take a look.

VetOnCall · 22/02/2018 13:44

Sorry Kin but onwards and upwards as said. I'm also happy to check out your profile if you want.

Love tell me about it. I don't know how many messages I've had on POF in the last couple of days but there's literally not one from anyone suitable or who I find attractive. It's so depressing.

Miss I think you're wasting your time there. He sounds like a total dick and by engaging with it you're just feeding his ego. That kind of man has no respect for women, he'll play you like a fish if you let him - don't let him. Don't give him the satisfaction of messing with you, the prick.

Vista don't feel bad, you couldn't have known; he's the bad person here not you!

VetOnCall · 22/02/2018 13:46

I dunno how Cover got mistaken for a bloke either?? She's my imaginary lesbian lovaaaaaaaair I'll have you all know Grin

CoverMeLads · 22/02/2018 13:53

Kin not on POF at the mo, so not sure I’d be able to see it.

Vet but the hair. THE HAIR.

CoverMeLads · 22/02/2018 13:59

WTF is up with Match if these are my views?? Confused

MissCatt · 22/02/2018 14:00

Oh Love that's annoying but sounds typical. And thigh gap? Really?

Kin well you know where you stand now... hope it wasn't too traumatic and that she was at least able to see some of your perspective on this. Happy to give you another take on your profile if you wish.

Vista ugh re the married guy. And thanks, yes, you're probably right about just leaving Mr Knows-he's-hot alone. But I'm always, without fail, attracted to the bad ones/players. Sigh. I'll probably send him some kind of reply, but I'll only invest as much as he has. Which is little.

And Vet, with you echoing Vista's thoughts (and others' thoughts too), I really should leave it be... but he's not done anything too heinous yet, has he? Apart from some late replies. And saying we'd chat on the phone then not bothering. And nagging me now I'm the one not replying immediately when he left it for 2 days. Oh. Haha. Grin But seeing as I'm totally emotionally detached from him, I might give him one more chance in a cool but pleasant message. In actual fact, I think we exchanged a few messages on pof once before and he fizzled out by not replying. He obviously has form.

Haha can't recall who wrote it now, but when I was catching up on the thread, I read about Cover being a man. And I think we're all a little bit in love with her/him Grin

MissCatt · 22/02/2018 14:02

Haha Cover, you've just blown your, erm, cover by posting that pic. You clearly ARE a man Grin

CoverMeLads · 22/02/2018 14:03

Match thinks I’m man now. Woe.

CoverMeLads · 22/02/2018 14:04

MissCatt I AM NOT A MAN!!!!!

Bant tell them!!

Pogmella · 22/02/2018 14:06

UN FUCKING BELIEVABLE

Rember Mr Faraway and the non existent card? Guess which mug just blithely trotted to the sorting office and paid £2 to collect her mysterious mail with no stamp. Thought it would have been my Etsy purchase but no. Who says romance is dead? Twat.

CoverMeLads · 22/02/2018 14:06

Though I’m happy for you all to be in love with me and my vagina 👍🏻

CoverMeLads · 22/02/2018 14:07

Pog you are KIDDING???? Jesus Christ, he’s got more front than Blackpool Shock

Pogmella · 22/02/2018 14:10

Cover I wish. A Valentine's card with no stamp. Fuck my actual life. What a sorry metaphor for the last 6 months...

pudding21 · 22/02/2018 14:10

cover I am sorry for any confusing, I have no idea why I suddenly assumed you were a gay man. Something to do with being all about the cock, and then about being the only man at a party with lesbians (but then I just read back and realised I read that wrong). I am blaming my crazy hormones or just the fact i can't think of anything else by Mr A.

Fucker still hasn't replied, I have no idea how to interpret it, or maybe I shouldn't even try!

Apologies again......!

RunsforCake14 · 22/02/2018 14:10

Cover that happened to me on Match as well. I stopped using the app as it was rubbish.

Kin good luck on POF. Lots have offered to look at your profile already but I'm happy to add another opinion if you need it. The older woman's perspective Smile

Love I'm laughing at the thigh gap comment, sorry.

pudding21 · 22/02/2018 14:13

confusion FFS.

CoverMeLads · 22/02/2018 14:17

Pud hey, no worries. The ex before Mr Yowzer (let’s call him Mr Twatface) I met in a forum and he was convinced I was a bloke for ages. It was only when we all shared photos he realised Grin
In the past I have quoted Madonna by saying I’m a gay man trapped in a woman man’s body Wink
And yeah at that party I think about 5 of us were straight.

As for Mr A: he’s busy, gets my vote.

CoverMeLads · 22/02/2018 14:18

Well predictive text screwed THAT up didn’t it? 🙄
