Morning!! Great new thread title :)
Smeaton beard you say? I don't think I have swiped once on a non bearded man. Y'all talking about age and height etc, but if an iron had photos all with a beard then turned up without one, I would be upset ;) Its a shit when people don't remember what you said, especially something so significant as children!
bloody I am with most of the others on the age thing, I just don't see the benefit really?
margot welcome :)
coverme ooooo errrrrr Mr half your age, i don't believe you mentioned him? Tell more!
jax welcome and I hear you about needy ones, my life is enough without having to validate someone else.
alison also standing in line waiting to support r/e Mr French! My Mr French has all but disappeared but I haven't messaged him either. I might send him a hello today.
ignoring tell us more, I like details goddammit.
tech I was a bit like that with the sexy talk, now I just take it as it is, understand that they are fuck boys and play along a little without denting my view of my integrity! I figure most of these men just do it for wank fodder, they get off on it but they are the men you know aren't serious. If I like the guy and they start being a bit too suggestive I do try to nip it a bit, cos it in my opinion spoils it a little if it is too soon, or too explicit early on.
change Yeay! enjoy your cautious time on the smitten bench.
dancemom do you see legs in this relationship though, what is giving you doubts?
So.....Update on Mr Italian.
I drove to meet him last night, we met outside his hotel and walked to a restaurant he chose. Nice place. He could barely contain his delight. Later he told me he honestly thought I wouldn't show up. We laughed all through dinner, even the waiter was grinning at us from ear to ear every time he came over. He is super charming and very funny and attractive but he didn't have my stomach doing flips like Mr A.........anyway.....
We talked about the whole me being suspicious thing and he got it. He has a bit of a sad background, Mum died at 4, his eldest sister is like a mum to him and he already told her about me. Well he sent her pictures and she apparently said " Finally a decent woman"!!. He's had a couple of bad dates off tinder with younger girls who all they care about he said was their nails, hair and what car he drove. His last relationship with his baby's mum ended badly, basically he wasn't sure if the (planned) baby was his or not and he had to get a DNA test (hence the absence from social media).
Anyway, I made it clear I don't do one night stands, or usually sleep together the first night, but basically in a lovely way he charmed the pants off me, and I am pleased he did. He, I think is already smitten, he isn't lovebombing me but he is so nicely complimentary and he said he feels really lucky to have met me (awwwwww).
So here is the thing: I don't want a serious relationship, I certainly don't want an exclusive long distance relationship. He is looking for the "one". He lives in Italy, but travels all the time with work. He travels all over the world sometimes for 2-3 months at a time. Realistically it has no legs. He mentioned me meeting his sister and Dad already!!
He leaves tomorrow, but is back again in 8 days. I will take each day at a time. He sent me a message this morning to say he thought we were very very compatible and he wants to see me again and many more times.
Sex was very good, I laughed a lot (proper head throw back laughing, he really is very funny) and the sweetest thing he did was try to explain how he felt about my in English but couldn't so used a translating app which and it said " you make me feel really comfortable". I know its only date one, I will for sure go see him again when he returns. I am just a bit worried he is already over investing in me and I would hate to break his heart. Honesty from the start right?
Sorry for the essay!
