Dating Thread 136 - Can Anybody Find Me Somebody to Love?

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

And a reminder - you don't know them until you know them!

I have a hidden photo vault on my phone and have quite a collection of cock shots in there, gifs and a few videos. I don't ever look at them again, just hide them away just in case. Like a hidden trophy cabinet. Thing is all the guys that have sent dick pics I never got round to meeting, go figure.

I prefer the ones that refrain, until after we meet at least.

One of them is from quite a well known person here, I can't believe people would be so blazé about showing off their penises. I am a nurse, so I have seen it all, including the fact then when most men reach a certain age, it becomes a little bit more difficult to find.

Aside from dating, just got a call from my big big boss. Looks like my immediate boss is on her way out and I might be being lined up for her replacement. All a bit tricky, and quite exciting!

HalfDutchGirl · 12/07/2018 16:07

pudding love the idea of a hidden dick photo vault - are they in best to worst order?! Great news about your job - fingers crossed!

BendyLikeBeckham · 12/07/2018 16:08

I now know I prefer the uncut.

Just doesn't look right otherwise

Sorry for all those who have been mutilated. Not for me.

Kinunir · 12/07/2018 16:14

I have eleven secret photo vaults on my phone; 1-10 plus pierced. Works for me :)

HalfDutchGirl · 12/07/2018 16:18

Bendy Ditto!

BendyLikeBeckham · 12/07/2018 16:18

kin eeewwwww

HalfDutchGirl · 12/07/2018 16:26

Why on earth do people put on their profiles "I enjoy nights in and nights out" ??!!! Is there another way they could spend their nights?

Please can I have a list of questions or one liners to start a conversation on Bumble or Tinder when I have nothing whatsoever to go on from their profile?! I'm stuck in the 'hi, how are you today' groove and need to get out!!

BendyLikeBeckham · 12/07/2018 16:36

half PM me your usual style and I'll reply with some ideas

BendyLikeBeckham · 12/07/2018 16:38

actually half PM me a couple of profiles and I'll find some material and make suggestions

HalfDutchGirl · 12/07/2018 17:12

Thanks Bendy Grin

DaffoDeffo · 12/07/2018 17:35

Congrats on your job pudding

I also have a secret photo vault! What are we like!

BendyLikeBeckham · 12/07/2018 18:22

lol at secret photo vault confessions. Please can everyone upload to Dropbox and PM me links. I need a good laugh.

HalfDutchGirl · 12/07/2018 18:45

I need to know how to have a secret photo vault on my phone. I’ve tried without success!!!

BendyLikeBeckham · 12/07/2018 18:56

What phone do you have half?

BendyLikeBeckham · 12/07/2018 19:01

actually that doesn't matter. You can upload them to photobucket, Dropbox, Microsoft One Drive, Google drive... Just create an account and password. If you have gmail then you'll have Google drive with free storage allowance already.

Use Apple or Android app store to download the apps, or find the websites. It's just cloud file storage. You can create separate folders with pw access to store stuff you don't want to accidentally open.

Now it sounds like I've done this for my Thursday penis picture! lol

Kinunir · 12/07/2018 19:20

Hiding a Photo in iOS

Open Photos and go to Camera Roll or Albums as usual.

Tap on the picture you wish to hide, this will open it as usual.

Now tap on the Sharing button that looks like a square with an arrow flying out of it, and choose “Hide” from that sharing action menu.

BendyLikeBeckham · 12/07/2018 19:26

That works in the same way with Samsung, if you share to 'secure folder' but you need to have set it up first. Whatever you do, don't inadvertently share to Instagram or set as FB profile picture, which are both options on the same screen.

Kinunir · 12/07/2018 19:36

Grrrr @ traffic ruining my date tonight 😡 but at least I can recharge for tomorrow 🙂

HalfDutchGirl · 12/07/2018 20:32

Thanks for the tips Kin and Bendy I’ll figure it out tomorrow. Can you imagine if I shared my dick pics to FB as my profile pic!!!

I’ve tried to be funny with two people tonight and both times it’s fallen completely flat! Arranging to meet a Mr PP on Monday and I was looking for a midway point, I text him and said, hahaha just seen it would take me 9 hours to walk to you! At which point he asked if I could drive - how can he have thought I was serious??!!

Then someone else asked what I was doing tonight and I said I was home, I go clubbing every other night of the week but Thursday is my night off and once again he thought I was serious!! I need to use more emojis!!

Oh and yet another guy into Dom/Sub relationship what’s going on?

pinkpixie83 · 12/07/2018 20:35

I'm guessing my date was a waste of time. If that's the case I'm done.

BendyLikeBeckham · 12/07/2018 20:42

half maybe you need to raise your standards? These guys sound like wet drips and you could do a whole lot better. If you've got a wicked sense of humour, then that needs to be returned! If the humour falls flat, then move on.
