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!

Having been through a drought the Sahara desert would be proud of, I now am feeling rather date overwhelmed.

By Wednesday next week I would have had one date with each fella and will have a better idea of where I stand. No sex till post de fuzzing Thursday ;)

BendyLikeBeckham · 16/07/2018 10:24

good on you daffo

Dont forget to report back to the SUC!

BendyLikeBeckham · 16/07/2018 10:27

kin please stop sending me your pool orgy holiday pics

wishywashy6 · 16/07/2018 10:33

Bendy haha!!

Daff yes can't wait to hear all the details!

First date with Mr Nextdoor on Wednesday, since found out we have alot of mutual friends which relaxes me slightly I think.

Kinunir · 16/07/2018 10:40

Sorry Bendy, you know I can't resist filling your inbox Wink

Good luck Daffo, may they all be sane and look like their pics.

Best wishes wishy, may the relaxing continue long into the night.

wishywashy6 · 16/07/2018 10:48

Sorry Bendy, you know I can't resist filling your inbox 

Completely just read that as "sorry Bendy, you know I can't resist filling in your box" Confused

BendyLikeBeckham · 16/07/2018 10:58

wishy what is the difference? lol

MargoLovebutter · 16/07/2018 11:01

Can't keep us with this thread! Grin

I'm going to take a break for a bit. My Match month just ran out. Did have two dates from it, so not a wash out. I've been hidden on POF for a bit now and I'm going to have a bit of time off work, so I'm going to have a complete break from dating for a bit. I have to do this every now and then for my mental health! Wink

Keeping my fingers crossed that the smitten bench will be groaning from the weight of you all on it, when I get back.

Kinunir · 16/07/2018 11:09

Take care Margo and we shall look forward to how hearing how well the rejuvenated you is getting on with dozens of dates upon your return.

RunsforCake14 · 16/07/2018 11:23

Margo enjoy your break
Daffo good luck with all your dates
Wishywashy hope Wednesday goes well
Kin you are too funny. Can't believe you haven't got a queue of women wanting to date you

wishywashy6 · 16/07/2018 11:27

^Margo enjoy your break
Daffo good luck with all your dates
Wishywashy hope Wednesday goes well^

Runs .... didn't you just list kins queue of women right there?! Just missed Bendy off i think!

RunsforCake14 · 16/07/2018 11:31

Selfies - I hate having my photo taken but have learned over the past couple of years how to do a decent selfie. In fact all my photos on my profile are selfies but some don't look like it.

Don't do mirror selfies. There's nothing worse than seeing the phone in your hand.
Use the timer and books etc to prop the phone up.
Take loads and loads. The first few will be rubbish. I pretend I have friends there (sad, I know) and laugh at their jokes.
My favourite is an accidental one when I set off the timer then laughed at my mistake.
Go outside. This weather is great for the light.
Edit, crop, check your background. Try lots of outfits.
And Google some ideas.

Better still go out with a friend and have a laugh taking photos of each other.

RunsforCake14 · 16/07/2018 11:34

Well spotted wishywashy
Sorry Bendy

In other news I seem to have agreed to a date with a 31yr old Smile

BendyLikeBeckham · 16/07/2018 11:40

Rule#10 everyone!!

Kinunir · 16/07/2018 11:41

BendyLikeBeckham · 16/07/2018 11:41

runs good going, girl!

I've just set one up with a 29 year old. I have kids nearly that age Shock but wth. Life needs to be filled with new experiences.

Kinunir · 16/07/2018 11:43

Why have you put yourself in my queue wishy? You never answer me on WhatsApp lol

RunsforCake14 · 16/07/2018 11:58

Bendy I'm all for new experiences Smile.
I got confused - my date is 33. My other chat is 31 - we haven't agreed a date yet.
Plus a sexy Frenchman is trying to persuade me that London is closer than I think. I told him to travel to me and then he would see how far away I was.
He said he would!

wishywashy6 · 16/07/2018 11:58

Kin I'm just playing hard to get obviously!

Kinunir · 16/07/2018 11:59

ffs, why won't it let me sort by 'pleasure'?
