Dating Thread 138: Hotter Than July

[CoverMeLads]

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

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

Daffo new Bumble man sounds good! Does he have a name yet?? I felt like that about Mr Canada right from the start.

vet and daffo and I'm having the same feeling with Mr Museum. We spent two hours on WhatsApp last night. And over two hours on Sunday too. I've not had conversation like this since the guy I dated last year (we dated for 9 months). It's just so so easy. Conversation flows. We've been really open about what we want and we agree we will take it very slowly. Next step is he will call me. I'm trying so hard not to overinvest. And it's not easy!!

I’m having dating withdrawal symptoms ,how much longer until the kids go back? I just don’t have the time to fit in dating around the kids and work but I’m missing adult/male company.

Mr VW is still sticking to his ‘meeting me at the event we are both going too in October’, I’m getting bored of messaging him.

Not having much luck on POF or Tinder but I’m not really putting much effort in.

Looking forward to the kids going back and having more dating time.

Got a date with Walter White on Friday, CBA with POF, thinking of trying Tinder. That’s about it.

Good news Vet and Tom

Will call him Mr NY. I am not getting over excited as I had this sort of chat with Bloke1 who turned into FWB. Also he (Mr NY) has only just started online dating and it's the first time he's done it so he will have them queuing up I expect!

Can I join you? Currently on POF. Had first date on Sunday and got ghosted .

Am about to head out on a date with Mr Geek who may turn out to be married (long story which I shall explain later with the outcome)

hi all

vet omg so excited for you!! i really hope the sex is amazing!!

ive got a date with Mr Banker on saturday to go to go ape! he's very sporty like me and it the perfect first date for me! just thinking what to wear etc

i'm also texting mr leather and he is hot! can't wait for him to ask me out

gym guy is texting me constantly and i just hope he likes me as much as i like him

i do love dating- been scrolling in bumble whilst in wales on a break with the kids and there are so many hot guys- not swiped as i want a LTR

Dan how old are you? what area are you based in? you may be on the wrong site? if you want i can check out your profile and give you my (35 year old single mum) opinion?

Morning! date day today. as recommended I was honest with the guy :) and we've got a plan that centres around me, ahem, getting to see his ... new flat

Morning all, 2nd date yesterday evening with Mr TV. He was a nice person and it was all very pleasant but there was still no spark for me.

I sent the nice to meet you but no spark text this morning. Sigh. Feeling very meh, but think that may be public exam fatigue!

Nice one Corvid, have fun getting to know him

Exams are done with now Margo - all steam ahead!

How did junior Margo do Margo?

Ds did ok and I am proud of him :). THANK FUCK THAT IS OVER WITH lol

Second date with Mr Northern was lovely and we agreed to do a third. He is v laid back and funny and I like him. We haven't snogged yet - he is shy I can see- and younger than me ;) and I would need to take the reins.

Mr NY is talking to me every night for hours. HOURS. But we can't meet up for weeks.

I am concerned that I'm going to be blown away by Mr NY and don't want to lead on Mr Northern but we all know here that it is nothing till you've met!

They are both totally different people!

Will stop swiping for next few weeks while I sort out what is happening with both

My DD passed all her exams with good grades this morning and DS is due back from holiday any minute now.

I think I'm actually glad to have a night off from dating today - I've been having tremendous fun but am absolutely shattered now.

After 7 dates in 7 days I just have a double lined up for Saturday. I suppose I ought to start thinking about next week, my last one off before going back to work .

Congrats to your Dd kin. And enjoy your evening in with them both.

I don't know where you get the energy. I couldn't do it! My liver would be screwed for a start!

It's not my liver that's getting screwed Daffo

Hey Daffo so pleased for your DS. DD did really well and DS has his uni place sorted. I am destroyed, but obviously very happy too!

Great news about Mr Northern and having Mr NY on the go too! Go you.

Congrats to your DD too Kin - brilliant. OMG, seriously you had 7 dates in 7 nights??????? Any of them any good? All with different people? Just gobsmacked!

I like them all, some more than others.

Saturday is a double date with Miss Bonnet and her housemate (don't judge!)

Wed: Miss Bonnet*

A double date with Miss Bonnet and her housemate - Miss Pinny perhaps? No judging from me at all, as long as you tell us all about it afterwards!

You think I'd get away with that on this thread?

Edited highlights then!

Hey all waves

Today’s highlights:

1. Swipe from a Male ModELL whose profile photos were him with various slebs. Subtle.
2. Unhiding POF profile and receiving 2 new messages from guys I hadn’t replied to the first time round.
3. Man with small baby as his profile photo.
4. Man seeking women/couples for NSA “fun” with either him/his wife/him and his wife. So quite a few options. there.
5. Message from a guy whose profile contains an awful lot of this:

“You are perfect. You are you. And no one else could ever be you. So that makes you perfect at being who you are” Righto. I’m not sure whether his exhorting me to “never hide your true beauty” is sweet and well-meant advice in these appearance obsessed times, or a patriarchal controlling mechanism to keep me away from the MAC counter. Either way it’s a no.

Might join OKC. Been a while since I got chatted up by a sub. I kind of miss it 🙄

Lol Cover at the guy with wife combo. I wonder if the wife knows. Is there a photo of her too, or just him? I’d want to know what she looked like before I agreed to such a tempting offer!

Kin there's a really obvious joke about Miss Deep that I'm just dying to make but won't...I know that this thread has come under some fire for excess innuendo so please can you use more wholesome names in future? Thank you please.

Cover I love critiquing the photos with my friends:
Using dog/child as a human shield? NEXT!
Picture of you standing next to someone else's snazzy car? NEXT!
Profile pic of 'inspirational' quote instead of your face? NEXT!
Hours of fun

I've said yes to a second date with MrGig but not sure I fancy him. He was really easy to talk to though and I'm hoping a second date with drinks and fewer nerves from him might improve the situation. Or am I kidding myself?? I can see myself ending up friendzoning him, which feels like I'm doing something wrong if I'm thinking that way already??
