Dating thread 145: new year new adventures

[Notcoolmum]

apparentlyacatch I’m sorry to be such a mum but please don’t invite men round to your house in the first date. You are putting yourself in a v vulnerable position. These men are strangers and you know nothing more about them than what they have chosen to tell you.

He now knows where you live, what possessions you have, seen pictures of your kids, your car, where you put your keys etc.

So 3rd date tonight with Mr S and we are totally DTD! Excited and nervous!!

Well done azzizam! If someone's rude behaviour has led to YOU feeling like garbage, then the only issue is to act in a way that is authentic TO YOU. So send the text that feels right, then immediately block and delete so you can’t see if they have read but ignored it, and you can’t see any bleating reply. Move on. I like that: be on your side

I like that too azzizam!

Let's be on "our side" as much as possible.
I read that quote many years ago and OLD has forced me into finally adopting it. I'm a right softie and make so many allowances but enough is enough. Wank on you losers! (Not anyone here of course ;))

nokiaoldschool the smoking date from last night is a no go. The date was only about an hour long and he had 2 smokes in that time. And I could either stand in the cold with him or sit on my own inside. Shame because otherwise he was ok.
I've messaged tomorrow's date to ask if it's still on. No reply yet.

Azzizam I like your style.

@shit No, it's deliberate as 80% of the guys I ever spoke to (,maybe higher) just wanted to show off their dicks and wanking videos!

@oldbrain I met a guy who was a heavy weed smoker so tobacco and weed plus he seemed as if he was wearing skanky smelly clothes. I was repulsed. It's a No from me.

You know you're ovulating when you feel a sudden compulsion to message someone based on his shirtless photo.....

Azz you do what ices you the best xlosure!

I’ve moved on from Mr Deveatates I still hasn’t arsed himself to reply, talking to MeShoulders who says he is turned on by my mind, we debated politics and got a little rude too, lots of fun and totally my speed, not overinvesting this time though,
Learnt that lesson. So speaking to Mr Bastard on Bumble for a bit of fun, and a really chilled message every few days from MePensions who crawled out of the New Year woodwork. In fact both of my main ones either ghosted me or I ghosted a few months ago, odd.

Mr dentist got himself blocked last night for asking me to show him “my candy”, then trying to call me, then sending me a gif of a man playing drums on a woman’s arse.

We’ve spoken for a week, we’re supposed o be meeting tomorrow, I didn’t even tell him I was blocking which I guess is rude, but really??

My phone is properly screwed sorry, I’m not that illiterate!!

@stubbornstains brilliant!

Stubborn Genius, and now I have what I’m going to send Mr Devestated today, do you think it will call him out while still making him realise I don’t give a shit? 😂😂

So "curving" could actually be mistaken for playing hard to get, not being too keen or someone who doesn't message a lot!
There's a lot to be said for staying single.

*leather. There's a great E card on Pinterest which says "Goodbye as in Go Fuck Yourself and Take Care as in Go Fuck Yourself" lol

That was @Leather

The daily mash link is brilliant. I’ve sent it to all of my irons!!!

I wonder if one realises he has ‘curved’ me.

Thanks for sharing. I think the link should become part of the pinned post :)

3/5 in a short time dating, don't know if that's good or bad

I've shared it too, wonder if anyone realises I'm slightly passive aggressively referring to them...?

Argh, have I been really bad blocking Mr Dentist who I was supposed to meet today? Should I unblock and just say he freaked me out last night?

Only I’ve ignored red flags before and got myself attacked so I’m a bit jumpy...

No leather. Mr Dentist showed himself to be a creep and not worth meeting. Don’t feel guilty about that!!

Hi all . I have just joined bumble and trying not to get my hopes up too much. Anyone with a bumble experience I need tips on how to avoid time wasters
Thank you 😊

I think I am expereancing curving at the moment with Mr Parrot, he takes ages to respond to my messages even though I can see he’s online (POF), I have a feeling I’m not top of his list.

brexiting is also a great one, I have a few that keep coming back 🤣

Looks like I don’t have a date for the weekend though I am talking to a old iron who seems pretty keen and is local so I am tempted to ask him out for a coffee tomorrow, I shall call him Mr Mini.

I have just had block Mr Tall on POF, we fell out a month ago over politics and him being racist, he reapeared on POF and though he would message me, he got a bit nasty so I sent him a short message before blocking.

I have a few other irons but no one that interesting, all have amber flags (have young children or live too far away). I always find saturday and Sunday mornings really busy on POF, I think I had around ten new messages this morning.

I'm wondering if ms pixie is breadcrumbing or whether she has genuinely been ill. Time will tell I guess...

She has ended the relationship that was limping on this week (promise there was no hint of anything before that, I have enough experience of the other side there!), so I guess that's a positive sign. Maybe.
