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!

Glad it’s not just me with loads of WA conversations going on. I’ve got into the habit of double checking the name I’m sending to before I press the arrow!!

Kin I want to know if you had a response too!!

Val Oh what I’d do for a sweaty night!

Wishing all my fellow SUCers (and Kin) a good nights sleep and may all your OLD dreams come true

lol half...

Me: It was such a shame you were on your period today but (censored). I can't wait for more, I'm feeling rather horny right now.

Boss: I'm not sure I'd want to (censored) but I'm horny too - if you ever fancy a drink just holla big boy :-)

Me: Get me drunk and I'm all yours boss!!

Boss: I've got the expense account if you have the inclination ;-)

As I said, I have a cool boss

@Kinunir haha 😂
I'm beginning to forget what one is tbh, it's been about 7 months now and that's the longest I've gone in ages

Mr Nextdoor is in for it 😆

@Kinunir actually just spat my tea out 😂😂😂😂

Is it a European shag or a common shag, and why would he be interested in your cormorant anyway?

@Kinunir definitely common and apparently mainly 22-24 year olds!

I've just been asked if my curves are thicker than a bowl of mashed potatoes 🤔 is that a reliable way of measuring curves?

Lois eh? bit racist

wishy I was once rejected by a guy who said I wasn't his cup of tea when he asked me what dress size I was. I had replied size 14-16, which was apparently not fat enough for him. I've also been asked for bra size, though have never disappointed there!

@BendyLikeBeckham I've never been told I'm not fat enough! 😂

He's just asked for a picture of my curves so I've ignored. I cba with that

wishy do you have a full length photo on your profile? They usually just want to see how big the boobs are, but a full length picture gives an overall idea of your size. practically speaking

@BendyLikeBeckham no actually I don't, I'll have to see if I can find one.
Although part of me (the part that generally is an arse and I try keep her in her box when possible) finds that a little like being a cattle at auction and that "they" can go do one if they're going to judge me on that 😂

wishy I know what you mean, but it's better to manage expectations very early on, even at swipe time. How would you feel if you got chatting and really liked someone, arranged to meet them and when you met you weren't fat/thin, busty/flat, blonde/brunette enough for their preference? Or vice versa because they only put up one very old photo? Best to filter out those who aren't going to fancy you/be fanciable to you at an early stage and save everyone's time. I do ask for more photos directly if their profile photo appears old or is obscure, or I'm just not sure.

@BendyLikeBeckham yes I suppose you're right. Like I say the arsehole within me likes to raise her pretty little head sometimes and get on her high horse that's all but what you say makes perfect sense.

I'll have a look through my pics, sure I've probably got one somewhere, I refuse to do a mirror selfie though!

I've done a mirror selfie but it was quick and easy. Plus I never appear in photos ever so had none I could use. And I hate them all.

Chatting with a guy on OKC all evening. Going really well then suddenly he disappears off my screen without warning. He bloody unmatched me! Can't have been something I said. Some people are weird as fuck.

Who cares about weight when mass is proportional to thrust? And no-one has ever expressed disappointment in the size of my boobs either.

Bendy sorry!! Foot in mouth there wishy 🤦🏼‍♀️
I just cannot seem to get a decent mirror selfie at all but maybe you have skills I don't possess

And kin lol

wishy lol no need to be sorry! I hate selfies too, just had to resort to them. Now I'm a pro! haha

You can try and position your phone on a ledge and use the timer function so you aren't having to hold the damn thing. Mine also clicks on voice command which is helpful. Not so when merely mentioning cheese in a sentence.

But seriously, I always hate photos of myself, so it's just a case of biting the bullet and picking the least minging! As an alternative to selfies, have you got a friend who could take some for you?

On the weight issue, I've been rather surprised at the number of men (particularly younger ones) who prefer a bigger woman. Wish I knew this years ago!

What is it with men and flipping selfies?!
Been chatting to a guy since I first joined OLD - Mr Boring, he's older than me by 7 years and seemed very nice, genuine, 2 teenage daughters, maybe a little boring but was prepared to let it be a slow burner to see if he came out of his shell a bit.
He's been away for a week and got back this weekend, we were chatting last night and he asked me to send him a selfie.
I said I wasn't really into the whole sending pics thing, especially to someone I've not actually met yet but he asked again so I reluctantly sent one (clean before anyone assumes anything other, you know who you are!!) He then sent me a dubious one of him just in his boxers to "show me his tan" then asked me for another one of me. I get so bored when guys do this, is it just me?!

On the flip side I've been chatting to a 24 yer old who has me howling with laughter and hasn't once tried any creepy lines - need more of these please!!

Bendy yeah I'm sure I can convince someone to take one of me! I find with a mirror one I'm always pulling some gimpish face!

clean before anyone assumes anything other

Good idea - I always like mine to be clean too (antibacterial spray removes a multitude of sins)

Kin
Could you tell that was directed at you?!

Maybe...

I have no idea why you lot have such a poor opinion of me! I may be short, fat, bald and have a micro penis, but I'm actually a decent bloke at heart.
