Dating Thread 137 – Sausage Party at the SUC

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. Do unto others as you would have them do to you.

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

Kin flowers definitely

If anybody remembers the hot fireman I mentioned several threads ago, well he has come back. He is rarely on the app so our messages have been weeks apart. Moving offline now and he lives local so that could be interesting. Mr Dimples is also local. This is new for me as I usually like to spread my wings and go into town. hmmmmm

love just try and distract yourself on here, he might be busy or just not wanting to be glued to his phone today x

Date update.... I'm drunk!

He's lovely, clearly still obsessed with his ex and I don't fancy him at all but we're having a lovely time anyway!

Your right cake, he has messaged back but a pretty simple (couple words) message, I replied and he’s gone again. Not really like him. I will keep busy on here and will get a early night tonight. I’m meant to be meeting up with him tomorrow after work.

wishy, glad its going ok. Enjoy x

Awww wishy shame it’s a no-go but great that you’re still enjoying the date. Drunk by 8pm though? I’m secretly jealous

love well done on the job interview

I'm sure you'll hear back soon. You sound so similar to me . I've been overthinking, trying not to look at my phone all day. Think I'm over tired this week so hoping an early night will make me feel better.

An old iron - my first OLD date in fact- text me today asking if I want to go on another date. It was probably one of the worst dates I've had. He asked again, after I said I was seeing someone too.

Minnie, yes, being over tired and grumpy isn’t helping my situation. I need to step away from the phone and stop over thinking everything.

Right Mr Geek has not messaged for a couple days and I’m not waiting around anymore. When we with are each other he is very attentive and lovely, but I think so far it is all on his terms and reading the posts that say ‘we are the prize’ etc makes me realise I am not following that by just waiting around:

So - have arranged a date next week with Mr Dressup (L O N G story). No fancying but he’s so interesting and we have a great laugh on text, I’m sure we’d have a good night.
An old iron has also asked me out again; I said no as was seeing Mr Geek but now wondering whether to message and say yes. But that may be a bit mean as it’s definitely only to try and get Geek out of my head.... and maybe I’ll be getting his hopes up.

No other irons anywhere. Didn’t ‘get’ Badoo at all apart from looking at the locals (no thanks), POF same faces since I started in January; and Bumble very dry at the mo.

Think I may join a local running group this Summer and see what is there in real life...just a bit shy to go alone...

Hatty ,join the running club, most people go alone, it’s a good place to meet people. I’m thinking of joining a class at my local gym, I already swim once a week.

wishy glad you are having a good time even though there is no potential.
So, why is it that I used to quite like bald/shaved heads when I was younger but now I am older and there are many more balding men, I want them to have a full head of hair?
If their chat is good, should I give them a chance? I know it sounds really superficial and I hate that, but I also don't want to lead anyone on.

I'm home after the date with Mr Nextdoor

Definitely no potential but I don't mind that, as a first attempt at getting back into the swing of things it wasn't too bad. Chat flowed well and we laughed a lot.

I have however had too much gin and nothing to eat so now I'm going to source Pizza

@wishy get you with the drinking ! Shame there's no fancying.

Well my date with Mr Sausage was really good...we had drinks for about 2 hours and had loads of laughs and the odd comfortable silence. So all good. I got good vibes off him during the date but then not sure at the end. Anyway let's see😁

Cool i wasn't sure how to end my date at all, my taxi pulled up so I quickly said bye and hopped in! I think he was half hoping for a kiss but I wasn't feeling it
How did you leave it with Mr Sausage?
Sounds like it went well overall!

wishy I love the mid date "I'm drunk" update! Shame you didn't fancy him, but I'm glad it went well.

vet I agree, Mr Academic should be showing more enthusiasm. It's a tricky one as we do get on really well and mostly I don't mind his laid back attitude, but sometimes I do feel I deserve a bit of effort from him. I'm leaving it up to him for now. Anyway I'm just really pleased things are going so well for you and Mr DM. That's fabulous news!

I think a polite handshake is the ultimate 'this is where you stand' goodbye wishy

@wishy has he texted you? I find kissing on the first date awkward. Yeah we had some quite flirty moments during (I think ?). He's replied to me and we've been chatting.
We got on well but this will sound odd..I get on well with most people on a first date. So hard to know if there is mutual chemistry!

@pudding21 love the analogy, however I don't like any liquorice all sorts - that's my problem!

No he hasn't texted but he has the conversational skills of a chicken nugget over text so I don't really expect one! I don't really want another date with him I'm kind of hoping he feels the same and we can just leave it at that!

Yours sounds positive though, keep going with the flow & maybe a second/ third date will reveal whether there's anything more there?

Thanks for the new thread Kin .

This is it ladies, I am officially OFF the market. Smitten bench etc etc...

Ive had the most amazing time recently with my new guy and its going really well. Lets keep everything crossed it continues the way it has been.
I will catch up and post when I can and wish you all the very best of dating times.

Omg I had an amazing time including waiting in the bar before the date and getting chatted up by a few men who said if he doesn't turn up, we will go out with you!

I have snogged and am smitten! Argh!

Jax yey! Really happy to hear that, congratulations

Congrats Jax! X

Daffo that's amazing - go you!!
