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

[ValMc1]

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!

Quick question, first date ideas?!

I'm cheap so:

Your place
His place
Back of a car (leave any judgement over make and model at home)
Back of cinema
Forest
Woods
Quiet alleyway

Does anyone think it is a red flat that a man you are dating follows a lot of other women on Instagram.

I've heard a red car can be something of an indicator of behaviour but I wouldn't worry about the colour of his home.

wishy three dates lined up! Go you!

Kin I drive a red car...what are you saying??!!

Well for the first time ever I think I've been stood up!!! Wouldn't mind so much but he text earlier to check it was all still ok!! 🙄

@HalfDutchGirl I know, thank you! Bit nervous but I think once the first one's over I shall become a serial dater!

@Kinunir fantastic ideas thank you!
My alleyway's been quiet for long enough

I'm saying you probably have to wash it a lot half - red can get very, very filthy

I have a date this evening with someone I've exchanged less than 20 messages with. And most of those were about where we should meet.

We'll either have lots to talk about, as we know almost nothing about each other, or it could be a disaster.

Every alleyway should have regular traffic passing through it if you ask me wishy

@RunsforCake14 good luck!! My date on Wednesday is very similar, apart from discovering he likes love island I know very little about him!

@Kinunir I totally agree. I had erected some diversion signs around mine but they've now been removed!

You need a new type of sign wishy

Talking of images, I need some feedback on my new profile pic. Does it convey that I'm a 'try anything once, twice if I like it' type of guy?

Good luck for tonight Runs; sorry the other one turned out to be a coward.

I'm also intrigued as to how Mr Weirdo and Mr Perv got their nicknames!

Half what happened?!

I never had a dick pic whilst active on OLD. Not even as much as a pube. I'm not really complaining but it does make me wonder if I was doing something really right or really wrong

Ahhh @VetOnCall you must be!
I've had so many... and bumholes 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Kinunir haha that must have been where I was going wrong, that sign should sort me right out

Bumholes < not envy. What is the thought process of these people?! 'How can I make a good impression on this attractive stranger? Hmm... oh wait, I know!'. I mean seriously... it's the death of civilisation one ass photo at a time.

I am back. No dates but some potential. Think will have to rename blokes as even I am getting confused lol

Mono bloke - named as such because he spoke in words of one syllable after the football. I have gone off a lot since that call and a few messages which have made me think but he is probably worth a date. I will wait for him to push for one.

Far away bloke - as he lives miles from me but works near me. We have moved to WhatsApp and I am hoping he will push for something this week. He makes me smile a lot and vice versa I think.

Both those two have WhatsApp with their last time online hidden. I know it sounds odd but I'm always suspicious of people who do that. What are they trying to hide!

Sex man - after one thing but he is very very funny and he wants a LTR eventually but also wants to have fun looking for one. We send messages to each other once every few days. Not moving forward but happy to chill with that one.

Local lad - best profile of all, so my type but he's v reserved with me. I always feel like I am pushing forward. Am going to take a step back and see what happens.

Young lad - a bit younger than me but also a lot of fun. Only thing is he has no kids (and I suspect will want them at some stage). Couldn't see us in a LTR but a bit like sex man, we would have fun.

Sorry on phone and it sometimes takes out paragraphs!

Vet I'm the same as you - no dick
pics and, thank god, no bum holes. That makes the ones who go on about footie seem like a brilliant catch.

@VetOnCall I have no idea although i suspect the bum hole man had some issues!

I got many, with various things inserted up it! Funnily enough he's not on my list of possibilities!

I'll just leave those here.

All those with dates, good luck. I'm off to surf party central for sunset tonight, there should be lots to look at.

THis not those.

Currently watching NADAL thinking one like him will do. 😬

Vet Mr Perv (so called because he had a definite cleavage fetish - my cleavage has been commented on a few times but he commented a lot!), he text to check all ok this morning meeting for second date and there I sat like a lemon for half an hour, messaged him - nothing! Pah, his loss, to be fair I was only going because I had nothing better to do today but a message to say he wasn't going to be there may have been nice. ... Next!

Kin I've got to wash it? Oh that's what I've been doing wrong!

Wishy bumholes - OMG really?? Eeeeww I can't understand why you decided bumhole man wasn't on your list of possibilities!!

At least my dick pics were sort of ok (ish!), even though one suddenly popped up earlier whilst I was pressing phone buttons and I nearly pressed the change profile pic on FB button - hahahah - wonder what sort of comments that would have caused!!

Daffo Ive notice more and more guys hiding their 'last seen' on Whatsapp, the only thing I've realised (I think) is that if they have that they can't see your 'last seen' either. Your Local Lad sounds a lot like my Mr Local!!!

pudding Nadal - drool!

pudding Hahahaha thanks for the link "All because her fanny wouldn't flutter"!!

On the WhatsApp topic, I know I've hidden my status in the past as I have 57 work colleagues on there, a few of whom have been historically keen to jump on me whenever I've been online.

So maybe there isn't always a sinister motive when someone has their status hidden?

hello everyone, Im going on a date in a couple of hours.

We will call him MrA he is funny, doesnt take life too seriously and can hold his own against me. I need an Alpha male, who isnt scared to let their emotions out - yes, there are some around and he is it.

Wish me luck, we have chatted for a while, texting and on the phone and we have talked about loads of things.

Im back on Pof and have a few new irons in the fire. I changed my profile wording, added a few new pics from a few days ago and Ive been inundated with messages.

Im being very choosy, so Ive got it down to 3, maybe 4 possibles.

Happy weekend everyone and happy dating.

Mr Campervan is messaging me but no indication to if I’m seeing him today. I think Mr weirdo is busy tomorrow so looks like I will be having a day on my own tomorrow
