Ignoring I do love it up there, but a) my job is the main source of security I currently have and it’s here b) where I live is brilliant for the motorway network and airport and c) family, what’s left of it, is here too.
But never say never.
I did message Mr It’s Grim Up, who was most effusive in his liking of my face and keen to pursue something although the distance would mean casual by its nature. Um, no.
ColdLocation IMO (and IME) family dramas that prevent meeting up are, I would say, 80% bogus. Too much information. What’s wrong with “I’m so sorry, that time isn’t good for me now; but it’d really like to meet you, how about X?”
I’ve decided against meeting HF, but I’ll not make a family emergency up. If the fucker messages me again, of course, see below.
Pud define “encouraging” 😈
Hey Vixen, good to see you back. If memory serves you’re roughly my age and in the West Mids, no? Good luck on Weds 👍🏻
Musicaltheatremum welcome and also jazz hands 😀 Tell us more about Silver Singles? Any traffic? Of the non-Zimmer variety?
I thought about a couple of niche sites, but my concern is that there would be a very small pool to fish in. So I continue to sift through the silt on POF
Pringle with you on beards. I thought I hated them (my Dad had a sort of Satanist type round the mouth goatee thing. He wasn’t one, btw 👍🏻) and avoided kissing ALL bearded men til Mr Yowzer grew a 6 month one every year and I was unexpectedly all “please do apply that to my lady parts now” in the cooler months. So I’m open. But not a hipster Victorian lose a badger in it type affair. Fuck that shit.
Vet “naughty” reminds me of a specific Pipkins episode involving Hartley Hare and a hand puppet named Michael. Equally unsexy as Barbara Windsor thrusting her tits in Jim Dale’s face, I’m guessing, but less leverage at the box office.
Mr DM is a dick beyond dicks and good work with Mr Plane. Your bar needs to be Olympic high jump high, chica.
Esk I reckon if you’re after a causal encounter, there could be some... wait for it.... Fringe benefits (I crack myself up). Do please report in if so. Never had the word “vicarious” been more appropriate.
Daffo ah... the fat thing. It’s tough. I’m (still, dammit) an 18 and thus avoid full length pics like the plague, esp as my face is OK and I’m pretty good to talk to, once you talk to me. All my pics are recent, and I will make sure I let whomever know that, yeah, I ain’t thin, so I avoid the situation you described.
I do get why people aren’t going to share a hideously unflattering photo (although my POF inbox houses some right doozies), but I also get that they need to check that the person they meet isn’t going to go “who the fuck are YOU???” on first sight.Thankfully no one has ever yet run away screaming when they clock my “curves” and 90% ask for a second date, it I’m still reluctant to do the full body shot.
Oh yeah: Mr Music is toast, right? And I tried Match, not worth the money. Hate to say it but I don’t think paying will get you anyone a free site won’t: they’re all on POF IMO.
Kin I’ve had 4 non drivers in a row now, 2 more on Bumble, hence my ennui when I posted. Plus a promising guy in fucking CARDIFF. So when I posted that last I was......vexed. But there is a guy on Bumble now that I am almost indecently attracted to who has so much in common with me it’s frightening. Frightening because even saying that means he must slide away mid conversation, as all promising irons do.
If he’s still messaging me in 24 hours and we get to a date, I will, o word of a lie, buy the thread champagne. OK, or champagne Aldi organic prosecco cos that stuff is tasty. And cheap.
Queen alcoholics are rarely harmless in the long run. I married one; it didn’t end well. Next? Better! Just keep going. Please remind me I said this in a week or so....😀
Cave there’s no protocol, honestly; whatever works for you. Many of us go for coffee first because it’s a shorter meeting and has less... coupliness (that’s so not a word,it even looks wrong written down) ad is so much easier to end. I always plan something post date so I HAVE to leave around 60-90mins and I make sure they know that. I figure if there’s no spark then it’s a natural end, but if there IS a spark (thank you JAYSUS) then there is a nice build up for the next date. This is why I like coffee (in a cafe or pub) and to drive: absolutely no chance of breaking that boundary.
Maggie that’s shitty on their parts. “Cad” is such a god word, though; we should use it more often. It reminds me of Terry-Thomas and Leslie Phillips, both attractive in their way (did I just type that???)
Waves at Margo I think I may have found a potential snogee on Bumble as referenced above. I’m going to call him Mr Thaw for such convicted reasons that I won’t remember tomorrow, probably, but fuck me backwards, physically he is HELL TO THE YES, intellectually he’s interesting and could educate me on much and he makes me laugh. Already.this can only go badly wrong can’t it?
