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!

@vixensixen thankyou! I bet he would have been crap in bed as well, too selfish! oh well, at least it only took him 4 days from first date to

I've got a lunchtime date today with MrRunner, I'm quite looking forward to it! A few texts a day, nice chat, seems a nice family type person. Lets see

sorry thought I replied. It's where you try and make deep and meaningful connections with people. Apparently you meet up and there's a lot of staring into each other's eyes (!). It's for people disillusioned with online dating.

I think it sounds utterly terrifying but I guess good for him for giving it a go :)

@daffo - sounds like something i read the other day about '36 questions to make you fall in love' - at the end of the questions you stare into each others eyes deeply for 4 minutes.

Jeez I think I'd rather be shallow 😳😳
Sounds very forced, if you're going to develop a deep and meaningful connection with someone surely it happens naturally?!
I'm definitely immature enough to laugh in someone's face while doing that 😂

@Stapler99 let the neighbours talk! I had rather loud sex on my sofa the other night then realised I'd left the back door open for the dog and anyone with a window open definitely probably heard me 🤷🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Back door wasn't a euphemism btw 😂

I obviously have a dirty mind as deep means something else to me.
Staring into each others eyes - wow, I would just be laughing!

Mr cheekybanter has suggested we go for a drive in his car and park up close to the river so that we don't have joggers distracting us......Mr cheekybanter obviously thinks I am some naive girl just because I have been with one man for 20 years. ....I told him before I was married I'd been in parked cars with boys and know what they are looking for . I'm still going to meet him later to ask him what part of slow your roll do you not understand mate! I've already told him this won't work for me without patience and time. Of he pisses me off later and can't get to grips with what I need to happen then I'll be closing the door on him and chalking it up t experience. ..

wishywashy that made me laugh out loud

yes I know cool , supercali, wishy I think I'd rather have someone talk about the size of their cock than stare into my eyes deeply for 4 mins!

well having said I had no dates, inspired my you lot i did a bit of bumble swiping and to my great surprise an absolutely gorgeous 43 year old (so younger than me, and I never go for younger guys) matched with me. We spent the morning sending messages back and forth about politics, I was thinking this is quite amusing and then he suddenly said, why are we talking about politics when we should be talking about when I'm going to kiss you

so I am hopefully seeing him Friday night for a date....woohoo!

now have 2 GIANT fucking spots breaking out - one by my eye and one by my mouth. Curses....

my = by!

@DaffoDeffo that’s good going! How exciting!

@daffo I'm liking the speed of your work there!

Well I just had a nice date with MrRunner, felt a bit like a job interview at first but then we both relaxed. He's even chattier than I am which takes some going (nerves?), anyway lets see if he texts. I did like him, bit older which I don't normally go for (7 years older). He said, text you later when we were leaving

@DaffoDeffo speedy work there I'm impressed! Well done you!

@coolcahuna fantastic ☺️ I'm a nervous talker too!

@scotgal2017 sounds like you're approaching with the right mindset! I find too much eagerness a little off putting 🤷🏼‍♀️ calm down cowboy

@wishy, its normally me galling away so nice for once that it wasn't!
He talked about work for 15 minutes and then chilled.

Nice though, I could have chatted for longer.

@coolcahuna I'd take that over awkward silences any day!!

@wishy me too! It wasn't awkward at all and could have chatted for way longer. He seems pretty steady and like a nice person, as far as you can tell on a first date. Lovely smile actually :-)

Hey thread. Just a quickie, if you are having trouble to the dating apps, you could always try LinkedIn. In the last 48 hours I have been approached three times, by a Romanian, a Nigerian and Indian guy living in London who works for a competitor.

FFS, its a professional networking site!

Needless to say I didn't reply.

Nothing really to report here, still seeing FWB with alarming regularity. I think he needs a new name Mr Not Quite a Relationship.

so the one that was chatting to me from last week, who's a bit...intense..shall we say

he tells me he's proud of himself as he stood his ground and made his wife and kids move out so he could stay in the house (which is not what his wife and kids wanted, no other person involved in the divorce, she sprung it on him apparently) . I must admit, I'm a bit taken aback by this. And then he says his kids don't want to speak to him now. No shit sherlock, you forced them to move out! Am I wrong in thinking what a massive prick? Surely your kids needs should come first and if they want to stay in the house, they stay in the house ?

sounds like a good date cool and pudding at least you are getting some action!

DaffoDeffo Yep massive prick, he should be ashamed not proud.

Well MrYoung is getting ready for his 12 hr night shift tonight, so I'll be missing our late night chats to be fair they're all day and most of the night chats... I am ridiculously smitten and even if nothing comes of it, I have really enjoyed the attention these last few days. Am hitting the gym and binge watching Outlander tonight.

So after saying I’d play it cool I ended up asking if he was free tonight as my mum is able to babysit!
He straight up said he was chilling but when I said I was possibility free he said sorry but his mate is coming over but still chilling!

So what are your thoughts on this anyone?

@DaffoDeffo he sounds horrid! I’d bin him immediately. My ex tried doing that to me and our children! Totally selfish x
