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

Well, despite the fashion faux pas of having already gone out with the blue shoes instead of the thread-suggested brown ones, it went very well.

Had coffee and then wine, the evening plans changed due to her mum coming over, but she has invited me over to hers on Monday for moose burgers dinner.

I'm still not getting the semi-MB Val - please elaborate!

Kin sounds promising - just MB or something** more? Let's just say both happy but no meat

Way to go Kin! Glad the date went well..... M is for MONDAY

kin how do you know you're getting MB? Did she say so? I'm a bit paranoid when I invite a date for dinner at mine he will expect MB so good to know the form

I must be a lazy arse but there is NO WAY I would cook dinner for someone on a second date

Loving all the tales on here , thanks everyone - so funny !

Val I want more than just the MB - I want the enjoyment of the slow cook, to feel the texture of the bun, the succulent taste of the juices oozing over my tongue and the shuddering fulfilment that comes as the meal is finally finished off.

And a bite to eat would be good too.

I have never cooked for anyone on a date (and I’m a trained chef), would happily let someone cook for me on a 2nd or 3rd date though but would expect MB.
Just don’t have MB first or dinner will be burnt.

Kin - if you ever want to change careers - you could earn a fortune on a chat line lol - do you take credit cards lol

does inviting someone over always imply MB?

would you go round thinking you might have some fun, but not full sex?

To be honest esk1mo I wouldn't typically go to someone's house for dinner and assume anything but Miss Keen was quite explicit in the full nature of the invitation.

It's your lucky day Val, just PM me the name on the card, the 16-digit card number and CVV....

Love I'm normally the one to cook first when I meet someone new so this will be a pleasant change.

Thanks Vixen Monday is a cool day. For me at least. Think my mind will be blown. Among other things.

Kin - looks like things are looking up 🍢⚡️🌈🔥👍👍👍

Kin I'll have a tenner's worth please

I've got to warn you Val, I really like to take my time and, at my rates, you're not even going to get to the dining room table, let alone get bent over it.

Mates rates?

oh really kin

well i havent invited MrF over yet, but im in my 20s and this generation think “watching a film” can ONLY mean sex.

The only 20 year olds I know esk1mo are my sons and they are the same as me - a dinner invitation would be an opportunity to make a move but, ultimately, no means no and they would obviously totally respect that.

You drive a hard bargain Val but I'm in a good mood - I'll take you as far as the soft, delicate butterfly kisses down the side of your neck and across your collarbone...

Kin - come on - what about BOGOF?

Val quality like this does not come cheap!

Kin - do I get Nectar points? Or do you take them in lieu of cash?

No one is setting foot in my place unless and until
I’m happy to have them set (slightly less than) a foot in other more intimate areas.

Not sure if this is innate caution or inherent laziness (I’m not cleaning my oven for any Tom Dick or Harry....)

Not to bring the tone up or anything, but is it possible that people don't engage in faux-sexting on here?

I know it's all harmless fun and stuff, but a few dozen threads ago there were some people doing that and it all got a bit unpleasant - meeting for sex and subsequent ghosting and ranting on here about what bastards people are. And other people then came out and said they'd been approached via PMs and had felt very uncomfortable.

It's one of the reasons why there is a 'no dating the thread' rule.

Sorry to be a killjoy :)

cover i already cleaned my oven today dammit, guess i will have to invite him over

Bant - I'm really not sure how to answer your post - if indeed you wanted an answer. There is quite a lot of candid postings on here - if I'm comfortable with it, I'll reply, if not I won't and ignore - a bit like OLD. At the end of the day, we are all trying to find (I assume) a life partner, and we are trying to get by until that happens.
