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!

Oh, I know the feeling Kin, lol. I'm in that stage of dating 4.5 mths and haven't done it in front of him yet.
He fell asleep once and started snoring, then suddenly let rip and shocked himself into stopping snoring. He was still asleep so I lay beside him in stitches!! Who said romance is dead Grin.

halfdutch that's interesting - I wonder if you do hide last seen whether you can see others last seen? I think you can....but not sure

To the person that asked earlier, I was worried that I’d have forgotten how to DTD but glad to say that I hadn’t even after a very very (very) long dry spell!

Spill, woman!

ello everyone

esk1mo · 14/07/2018 16:07

*somehow, not someone

pudding21 · 14/07/2018 16:08

love ask mr campervan , maybe he thinks you're backing off? He clearly digs you, you like him. Youve a child free day, ask him!!

wishywashy6 · 14/07/2018 16:26

@HalfDutchGirl

Yes bumholes! He was very proud of his bumhole but unfortunately I did not share his enthusiasm!

wishywashy6 · 14/07/2018 16:29

I hated pof when I was on it a while ago but have considered venturing back to it. Saying that I may wait until the man supply dries up on tinder and badoo first then use that as a back up!

Kinunir · 14/07/2018 16:40

All this talk of DTD is making me think that, bravado and tinkering on the thread aside, I should have me some of that!

Kinunir · 14/07/2018 16:44

That sounds wrong - I mean being a little tinker, shits and giggles and all that Blush

ThirdTimeUnlucky · 14/07/2018 17:19

Esk a hair of the dog that bit you maybe?

Lovemusic33 · 14/07/2018 17:28

Pudding Mr Campervan is working tomorrow, he messaged me a hour or so ago asking if I wanted to go over to his tomorrow evening as he has a friend over to play darts but by then I won’t be child free. He then stopped messaging me when I told him I couldn’t. I assumed he would come over today and maybe stay the night but doesn’t look like that’s happening. I will just spend the evening and tomorrow on my own. I think he forgets I have kids (he doesn’t have any). It’s going to be even trickier once the kids are on school holidays.

esk1mo · 14/07/2018 18:00

third he’s skinnier than me though, i dont know if i can bring myself to do it 😂

With Mr Local last Thursday, a very pleasant experience, one I’d like to repeat but he’s dragging his heels! It had been 10 months since last time and that was not a pleasant experience (was with my ex of 13 years - now know why it wasn’t pleasant - he was busy DTD with someone else!!). Good to be back in the saddle again!

HalfDutchGirl · 14/07/2018 19:10

Why didn’t the italics work??

Been having a lovely chat with Mr Hat all day all looking very promising then suddenly.... nothing! Honestly, I give up!!

Love Did you ask him to come over to yours tonight and stay over? Maybe you should have done, can you still do so?

Esk Of course you can!!!

BendyLikeBeckham · 14/07/2018 19:21

halfdutch ahhh Mr Local. Well done you!! It's quite life affirming getting back in the saddle. And realising how bad sex with an ex was.

I had a fantastic date with Mr XCIV last night. And very good MB indeed! So good, I can't walk straight today Blush

Mr TD is back in touch, so hopefully more mind blowing MB on the horizon this coming week.

Lovemusic33 · 14/07/2018 19:22

Half I think I’m too late asking him now. He has been messaging me, I sent a few messages suggesting he comes over but now he’s had a couple drinks so won’t be able too anyway Sad. I will just have to wait until Tuesday to see him.

I’m not getting anywhere with finding someone to go out with tomorrow, Mr Weirdo is just being his weird self, keeps sending me photos of the exciting things he has found in his mums loft (which he is clearing out this weekend, she’s still alive BTW). Looks like I will be going out alone or staying in.

HalfDutchGirl · 14/07/2018 19:31

Bendy You’re doing very well on the MB front at the mo! I’m envious, now I’m back in the saddle I want more!!

Love ah darn it, that’s a shame but at least you’re messaging and you’re seeing him Tuesday. Hahaha Mr Weirdo does sound mighty weird!

If it makes you feel any better I’ve no plans at all tomorrow either, had hoped for a drink with Mr Hat but that seems to have come to nothing!

BendyLikeBeckham · 14/07/2018 20:01

halfdutch one certainly gets a taste for it once one emerges from the desert! Welcome to Sluts United!! There are a few members on this thread, and we all seem to be having enormous fun.

Kinunir · 14/07/2018 20:03

esk1mo Just do it!

Well done Bendy, sounds like you had a bloody good time!

Love didn't you have him over late the other day, after your kids had gone to bed? This night is still young in comparison - tell him to come over in a cab Grin.

Half your new found success is down to my profile suggestions, right? (you can lie if necessary, just to make me feel good).

BendyLikeBeckham · 14/07/2018 20:04

As for tomorrow, I'll join you halfdutch and lovemusic on the bench. We can raise a virtual glass to each other, in the knowledge that it won't be too long before we are enjoying someone else's company cock.

wishywashy6 · 14/07/2018 20:05

@BendyLikeBeckham 🙋🏼‍♀️ permission to join sluts united please

BendyLikeBeckham · 14/07/2018 20:07

Welcome wishy membership pack in the post. It consists of several family packs of condoms, a bottle of wine, and a clean change of underwear.

wishywashy6 · 14/07/2018 20:20

Perfect @BendyLikeBeckham GrinGrinGrin

Arranged to see Mr Horizontal this week and basically confirmed that's the purpose of the date. He's hot but only 24 and definitely not relationship potential

BendyLikeBeckham · 14/07/2018 20:31

just enjoy it wishy

Any more suggestions for the welcome pack? maybe a toothbrush!
