Dating Thread 138: Hotter Than July

999 replies

CoverMeLads · 06/08/2018 19:51

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!

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.

Seriously?

I've mentioned before that she has a deep personality, no innuendo implied or intended.

Kin It just makes me think of the Boomtown Rats album V Deep.

I’m on OKC. I have likes. I feel slightly seedy.

Why do you feel seedy Cover?

ValMc1 · 23/08/2018 22:21

Just got back from a date with a new iron - I'll cal him Mt Wet, Wet, Wet - very enjoyable !

ValMc1 · 23/08/2018 22:22

Mr not Mt lol

BendyLikeBeckham · 23/08/2018 22:32

Evening all. I'm juggling quite a few irons atm. Any tips for managing them all, and deciding between them?

I've got about 7 but my faves are:

Mr BigFatCock: wants just no strings hookups but wow he is good at it,
Mr FuckMeNow: I suspect is really after a LTR and doesn't seem to want to get physical yet, so I'm not sure,
and Mr Oral: who just keeps talking and talking and hasn't agreed to meet yet, but we have so much in common.

There are others and I need to whittle them.

MaggieMuggins · 23/08/2018 22:34

Oh god no, not seriously at all!! Blush

MaggieMuggins · 23/08/2018 22:37

I think I'm beginning to understand why I don't ever get any replies to my messages, I don't think I'm as funny as I think I am...Sad

Kinunir · 23/08/2018 22:37

Based on what I seem to remember you’re looking for, Mr BFC is the only viable one of those three Bendy, the other two are surely no-goes?

So that’s two down already. Who are the other four?

HalfDutchGirl · 23/08/2018 22:42

Trying to catch up on everything here as haven’t been on for a long time. Loads to read!

Good on you for the Canada trip Vet sounds amazing!

Kin You certainly don’t hang about, not sure I could juggle that many in a week - hats off to you!

Bendy wow (great names btw) - I get in a right mess if I have too many on the go, I think I’d get a meet up arranged asap with Oral and see how it goes. I could do with a BFC to be honest (not to be confused with KFC!!) but will make do with Mr Condom as he’s got me quite happily sitting on the smitten bench.

Need to recap on all the others I haven’t commented on ...

wishywashy6 · 23/08/2018 22:43

Bendy

I'd avoid Mr FuckMeNow, LTR's are overrated. Ditch him and stick with Mr BFC while seeing if Mr Oral is any good at living up to his name

BendyLikeBeckham · 23/08/2018 22:43

Thanks Kin

And Maggie I will stop teasing the thread with made up rude iron names now I know you were actually joking and not leading the Thread Taste Police! There's innuendo opportunity there, right?

Grin Grin Grin

BendyLikeBeckham · 23/08/2018 22:48

thanks wishy and half

I do actually have a multi-iron-whittling issue. So many men, so little time! But I will work my way through all their trousers, and see what holds up. fnar!

Kinunir · 23/08/2018 22:57

Kin You certainly don’t hang about, not sure I could juggle that many in a week - hats off to you!

It’s amazing what you can do when you have a weakness Half. You know someone with a hat? Wish I did!

VetOnCall · 23/08/2018 23:50

Thanks Half... it's crazy but awesome. I'm totally, completely and utterly smitten with him so better shift up a bit on that bench! Praying that it translates in person... that's the crazy part I know 🙈

1moreRep · 24/08/2018 07:42

hi all,

well my three on the go are-

mrbanker- really nice, had a 90 minute conversation yesterday and have lots in common. he is taking me to go ape on saturday. he does seem very sensible and really into me. he told he he was really happy to speak to me on the phone as i come across as quite short and a bit aloof on the text (i hate texting due to awful dyslexia) So grammar police ill apologise now!

mrbike- sexy as fuck, literally texts me all the time and is very horny. i'm hoping there's chemistry there when we meet. he's not used to hearing no so finds me intriguing as i give him a lot of banter back. he has a big job and is used to having trophy girls - i am not one of those.

gym guy- texts me but literally rarely wants to do anything. i do see him about once a week thou- i really like him but he is younger

YeahCorvid · 24/08/2018 08:10

Ok so my Thursday guy last night: not sure how to feel about this.

I havne't been on the thread for a while so can I just take the temperature please about how precise it is customary to be if talking about sex? No trigger warnings needed, no disturbing content - I wasn't thinking of graphic physical detail - but, well pretty sure I'm being ghosted from now on and even before I realised this I also have a deep desire NEVER to see him again... so I wondered whether it was ok to talk in broad terms about some of the stuff that happened?

1moreRep · 24/08/2018 08:39

you can tell us anything in as much detail as possible we are all grownups

YeahCorvid · 24/08/2018 08:51

ok!
Well we went back to his place, which is tiny and bare and has nothing in it as casual props for just hanging out - he has no way of listening to music, no TV or no visible laptop / streaming / entertainment type stuff. no books, no pictures, no games, just no kind of .... atmosphere. So it just felt very weird and bare and like we basically had no choice but to get down to business pretty quick. We had a couple of sips of a glass of wine each (ok give the man credit, he doesn't have much but he has nice wine glasses) and then we were on the bed. he is kind of hot and pretty skilled and I was really physically into it and he applied himself very enthusiastically to sorting me out and that was all great. On paper. Then I just found I COULD NOT get him off. Also as soon as I had got off I suddenly realised how weird and boring the weird little situation in this weird little flat was. So probably that cramped my style. Anyway I had to stop him having sex with me as it started to hurt and he was .... kind of... not happy about this? I tried other stuff and it wasn't happening and I really wanted to go home and wished he wasn't giving me a lift. I just wanted to get up and put my jeans on with the car keys in the pocket. He gave me a massage, really well, and I was just already fantasising about having a cup of tea and messaging my friends in my lovely house. When I eventually did get up and get dressed he made no move to do any kind of friendly rounding off of the evening (where? How?) and just got dressed and drove me home. there was no connection at all. I think he was really annoyed that I came and he didn't

Kinunir · 24/08/2018 09:20

Then I just found I COULD NOT get him off.

Do not for one moment think that has anything to do with you. It could be any number of things from being too in his head thinking about what's going on, to nerves to having watched too much porn or having 'sorted himself out' a short while before you arrived.

I suddenly realised how weird and boring the weird little situation in this weird little flat was.

Totally understandable - it wasn't your place which can be uncomfortable as it is. The way things were going obviously didn't help.

he was .... kind of... not happy about this?

That was totally unforgivable and gave you valuable insight into his personality.

When I eventually did get up and get dressed he made no move to do any kind of friendly rounding off of the evening

Piss poor. No excuses for that!

I think he was really annoyed that I came and he didn't

That's totally on him and nothing to do with you. His response was wrong and, again, unforgivable.

Sounds like you just had a poor night with someone who was far from gentlemanly about proceedings Corvid. I hope you don't feel too bad about it because you certainly didn't do anything wrong.

YeahCorvid · 24/08/2018 09:24

Thanks Kinunir

MargoLovebutter · 24/08/2018 09:27

Yeah that doesn't sound like much fun. I've had similar experiences - not recently but when I first started OLD about 13 years ago.

I think sometimes you have to accept that having sex with relative strangers may not work out - at least that is the conclusion I arrived at. Sometimes it can be amazing and great and you both connect sexually well and sometimes it will be awful.

1moreRep · 24/08/2018 09:48

sounds like it was his fuck pad as opposed to home

seriously do you think any man would be worried in your situation - the man didn't cum but that's his issue.

i think sex with strangers is shit so i don't do it but you. did nothing wrong

what did you learn from your experience?

Kinunir · 24/08/2018 10:00

seriously do you think any man would be worried in your situation

That's a sweeping statement if ever I heard one! Shock
