Dating thread 130: dates with more issues than Vogue - mad March hares every one of 'em

[BeenThereDating]

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

Have fun with your two irons, Pudding.

Mumfun your speed dating experience sounds great. Great that you met someone with some mutual interest.

Place marking!

@eating omg what a shit! I can't believe some people on OLD... Well done on trusting your instincts.

Well the snow is ruining things!

Mr Bachelor, I might not be seeing him this weekend due to the snow. I'll assess on Saturday morning whether I'll be going up or not. D:
Ms. PhD hasn't got back to me to arrange a date, so I think I can give up on that one.
Ms. Music I've got a date with on Monday :D just coffee though, but I'm looking forward to it. If the snow has cleared by then anyway...
Ms. Sax, I hadn't heard from her for a few days so i didn't think it'd go anywhere, but she texted today, so we're keeping in touch til her friend goes home I guess, then see what happens.
I've completely forgotten what my nickname was for one of my irons

My iron (going for Mr KnottyCaptain ) seems to be back in touch after (I felt) blowing a little cold, although he denied that. I'm much better now at backing off, archiving the WA chat and just leaving them to it.
So we have a 3rd date, dinner again, arranged for Saturday. With the possibility of a sleepover date the following weekend. Have booked my waxing just in case

I have other potential irons.
One who this is the 3rd time we've initiated conversation but it's never gone anywhere, thru no-ones fault tho. We've both agreed it's "time to get a damn coffee already"
Will need to wait till he's back his holiday tho.

Wow, kitten you have plenty going on with your irons. Tell me to mind my own business if I'm out of line, but do you use different sites for different genders or same sites for all of them?

Springtime date with possible sleepover sounds fun with Mr KnottyCaptain (great nickname). Not sure I could face being waxed in this weather though!!!!

.oO(there's no excuse for not being waxed at all times of the year)

Hmmm, Kin - if you'd ever had hair ripped out of your delicate parts or in fact from any body part in a less than optimally heated beauty salon, you wouldn't be saying that!!!!!

I have... and it hurt like hell... but you have to practice what you preach, right?

The place I go is always lovely and warm. I got my LVL's done this morning and it was THE most relaxing hour I've had this year

Good on you Kin! Glad it was warm Spring. The place I go to never feels warm enough - except for mid-summer. I think I may have to find somewhere new.

Margo make sure they use Hot wax too, makes it so much better

Haha, thanks @Margo. It's a bit full on though tbh! I've stopped looking on the sites for now til I see what happens with these three (four is ms PhD turns up again).
I don't use OLD for guys. I did at first but they were all so weird :( I had one netflix and chill request on Bumble and turned the settings to women only XD but I use Bumble, OKC and Pinkcupid. Pinkcupid is terrible though. Mr Bachelor is a friend of a friend who was in the right place at the wrong time - just after my break up with my ex. He's absolutely lovely but he has no confidence with women, and I haven't ever had a good relationship with a man, soo... Neither of us has done anything XD

@spring ooh good luck with Mr Knotty Captain! I'm routing for you :D

Ah kitten that's made me laugh about all the OLD guys being so weird!!!!

I second Spring's suggestion MargoHotWax

Well, if any of you want your very own MrFarmer (and don't mind a bit of travel), I can put you in touch with this chap . . . Sent to my business FB page - now there's optimism for you

Straightforward and has his own business: what's not to like, Sadik?

Can you PM me the contact details Sadik. I love the opening line!!!!

I am only joking btw - I don't really want the details.

I think there may be a small translation error Margo - he'd previously sent a string of emails asking if we'd ship to Russia

That farmer sounds a real catch! I've always fancied living in a cabin in rural Russia.

Just be wary if they offer to take you up the Urals New [wink)

sadik WTAF?

Do you think there is a a place in cyber space where all these weirdos hang out and validate their behaviour on dating sites. Like an alternative mumsnet thread but for con artists, idiots, twats and emotional fuck wits?

Right I just spent a lovely 2.5 hours in Mr A's company, have my kitchen design almost sorted, but not my raging horn. That is just growing...........I am learning more and more about him, and I don't know if that is healthy in terms of obsessing. I do like his company though. He laughed at me a lot........because I am so bloody goofy. Oh and I heard him on the phone to other people, when I freaked out before about him sounding stressed, I think its just his manner sometimes.

I am so glad I can post on here without judgment cos my I am sure my friends are getting oh so bored with the tiny miniscule details. In other news, the dog ate my remote control while I was out.

Heh, that’s an improvement on “my dog are my homework”, Pud 😀

I’ve been out in the -4 plus windchill all day. Don’t think I’ve ever been this cold, and I’m pretty well padded. I’d actually consider a ONS right now just to get my core body temperature up.
That Russian farmer can fuck right off with his frozen tundra.

Sadly, that cyber space seems to be PoF etc Pudding

So nice to hear of a lovely few hours with Mr A. It's good to know more about people. It puts all sorts of behaviour in context. That's why OLD intimidates me: it feels so quick. I'm not talking something unreasonable like Kin's 2 years suggestion, but ... I dunno ... at least a month, or something, possibly two. Am I being lame?

I've often chewed the remote control as well Pud: but mainly when watching X-factor

Pudding that wasn't even from a dating site - he messaged my business facebook page!

Agree Cover frozen tundra really isn't appealing right now. Not only that but I had to cut short a birthday visit to MrF before I got snowed in as I needed to be back for work tomorrow, otherwise I'd be tucked up warm & cosy with him right now :(
