Dating thread 140 - Why????

[RunsforCake14]

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!

Acorn Penis 😮 what does that mean? Is it a seasonal penis?

I haven’t messaged Mr Nature today, I’m not sure what to do about him. We have lots in common but I’m not sure if I could ever kiss someone who looks like a murderer.

My local sent me a dick pic last night, a game of strip monopoly (don’t ask) got out of hand and ended with the exchange of some naughty photos. He’s not really a stranger as we have been chatting on and off for a couple years and we have met briefly, he’s always been ell behaved up until last night, not sure if I could date him now I have seen his manhood.

Tinder and POF are pretty dead for me at the moment but I haven’t put much effort in.

I take acorn penis to mean an unerect penis that is the size of an acorn. Which is not big. Really very small.

Do not google 🤣

So it’s a micro penis, a penis that you probably wouldn’t receive a photo of before dating someone? Luckily I have never come across one.

I've been chatting to MrPB for approaching 3 weeks, we met last week for a very brief coffee, we agreed we want to see each other again and see what happens, I've raised the subject we've discussed a possible location but nothing from him on when. He's not a pushy person, quite unassuming really, which is OK except I'm getting a bit frustrated we're not getting anywhere. I don't want to pressure him. Is one date in 3 weeks slow, average? I have no frame of reference.

@likeridingabike I’m guessing 1 date in 3 weeks is a bit slow but maybe he’s just super busy? Why don’t you ask him for a 2nd date? Then you’ll know if he’s wasting your time or not!

like I would say there has to be a good reason for the slow rate of progress eg working away, holiday, commitments with kids etc. If there is no openness about the reason then I would say that is a bit of a red flag. He may just be wanting a penpal, or he may have such a very busy life that there is no room for a relationship anyway.

He works long hours, but I do think he could have a quick shower and meet me for dinner one night, he's not got kids to work around.

Thanks, it's good to confirm it's not just me being impatient.

@like - I think if it were me - 3 weeks away and i'd been pretty clear I want to see them again - i'd take the opportunity to line up some other dates in the meantime...it's up to him but you're getting on with things!

Properly LOLing at acorn penis. I've never seen one, I had the misfortune of experiencing a very small pointy one. Struggled to get purchase and it HURT.

@Daffo, devastated about cancelling your date is a bit much isn't it! Feels a bit needy.

@Scotgal, he sounds promising. Love it when a guy has something more about him! Date 2 could be interesting.

@Jesuis, Im loving the move from MrOld to MrYoung and the fact that MrYoung is being polite about things you might not like. LOL to MrOld knocking down a wall - riveting.

@likeridingabike, that would be winding me up too. Set another date already! I always thinks this kind of early lameness doesn't set a good tone for the future. I'd get some more irons in the fire and let him chase.

Had coffee with MrLondon today, he's so hot! I'm finding it hard to concentrate!

Cookcohuna This is part of the problem of course, I have no other irons so I'm over focused on him. I don't want to play games but I think I'm going to have to take a bit longer to reply and see if that has any impact and if not address it with him directly.

@coolcahuna A small pointy penis sounds horrific. Did you gasp when you saw it?

@Like, as soon as I find myself delaying replying etc, it's not worth the hassle. I'd just ask him straight to be honest and at least you'll know. It's just one guy, plenty more out there.

Omg yes the pointy one..I would like it to a baby carrot. It was small but deadly. If I'd been up for a dick pic, I wouldn't have found myself in this predicament!

@coolcahuna A warning lesson for us all. I might ask MrYoung for pic to be on the safe side. MrOld would probably get a Polaroid and post it to me if his current response time is anything to go by

coolcahuna He's making me feel needy, not deliberately I don't think, but I don't like it. I think we're just wanting to go at a different pace.

I'm currently on Match and Bumble, anyone got any thoughts on whether it's worth subscribing to either?

@likeriding a bike I subscribed to Match, first day I had lots of views of my profile etc, no viewers were interested enough to write to me (or me to them). It slowed down the days after that and now I haven't been on it for a few days at all as joined pof and had a date from that within 2 days. It might be worth subscribing to Match it'd you live in a good catchment area lol and think that you would be willing to pay for at least 6 months.

@likeridingabike I've subscribed to Bumble for the odd week just to see who the hidden likes were but they were always so far away or not my type. Might be worth it for an ego boost but never materialised for me.

MrObnoxious has gone quiet after I said sex wasn't an option, so much for my one flirty chat. No irons on the horizon unfortunately but heading out with friends tomorrow. I think I need a clearer head with these things, toddlers are exhausting, my ex is draining me with his drunkenness and it's making me feel all the more alone when actually I should have a thicker skin with all this. Onwards and upwards!

Big date tomorrow. He is collecting me from work as I don't finish till ,8ish and we are going for dinner. Feel nervous, but in a good way! Other dates have been fun and relaxed so will try and stay calm. No idea what I'm wearing (will have to bring something to wear to work and change). I think I'll decide in the morning as I'm just in from a 12-hour hospital shift and am wrecked.

We both have Friday off

It was my ex's birthday this week. Never imagined this time last year I'd be going out for dinner with someone else. Life is unpredictable

Ok so I've been chatting to a rascal, I know he's a player but I'm thinking I can play as good as I get these days. I don't want a move in get married or even just move in type relationship, I want some sex, some fun and a lively mind. But he lives 2.5 hours away. So we can meet halfway, have coffee and go home, meet halfway and get a room, or one of does the whole darn drive which seems too much for a first meeting. I'm just not sure. I think it has to be the first. Views?

cool small pointy penis had me laughing out loud! And I googled acorn penis at work today Curse you all!

I have no dates this weekend on a no child weekend of fucking course! This always happens to me! Am on verge of giving up !

@Jesuisprest. Mr Young and his tongue piercing and tattoo sounds really hot to me!! 😉

@Azzizam maybe I should be more open to things which I normally discount. Apparently the tongue piercing isn't for aesthic purposes...

@daffo glad I made you chuckle! So it's all over with Mr London before it even started! We were chatting about how it was a fling and he seemed keen to let me know it was just sex, there was no fancying or chemistry going on. (Not what he said the other day).... I just thought sod this. I'm fine with a fling but I like to feel I am attractive as well! Surely men must know women want to feel attractive even if it is just sex.

Told him goodbye.

Feel a bit odd as it was an abrupt ending but thinking bullet dodged. He would have dropped me like a stone anyway i think as soon as he got what he wanted !

Daffo I think I’m without a date this weekend and child free (sunday) unless I can pull one out the bag.

I went on bumble last night, scrolled through 100’s of people, swiped right on 6, matched with all of them. Do men just swipe right on everyone in hope someone will match? Anyway I want to message a couple of them but I’m useless at writing the first message, what do you write? I want to say more than ‘hi’ but not too much more, just enough so they can reply if they want too. A couple of them live quite close by which is a rarity for me.
