Dating Thread 147 - Double Dating Anyone?

[TooOldForThis67]

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!

Not sure if I fancy someone.
But don't wanna lead them on.
We do have few things in common and can chat lots. Which is harder to find.
I just felt perhaps he could be too intense.
He was sweating round his face. Slightly off putting.
But I don't like my space invaded too soon.
He asked if I wanted to meet again next weekend.
I said we will chat soon and see what's happening.

Cant - that sounds like a great start.
Shit - So MrIndie is backtracking and wants more? That's good. Are you exclusive now?
TheSheep - I get what you mean by feeling down about 'a coffee, sometime'. Don't over think it too much and go with the flow for now.
super - Glad you had some comfort . You are no doubt feeling emotional right now (after your loss) so don't make any decisions about men you might regret. I'm sure you're aware of that anyway.

MrBE sent a 'morning xx' So I replied asking how he feels about us now he's had more time to think. So just waiting.....

That's good to know shitwith thanks. Have you met up with anyone from there?

Thanks for your words of wisdom! I know I'm over thinking things, and it is really early days, but I really like him. He has actually messaged me quite a few times this morning, and not just replying to me, if that makes sense, so I'm hopeful he does want to see me again.

I'll keep off PoF for now, even if I get a message notification, because I think it could drive me mad!

Comedy I put something in my profile on Fab saying I didn't want dick pics because I know what a cock looks like. I still got some, but as shit said, I just deleted. I'm seeing someone I met on Fab next week - he's lovely.

Just back from coffee date with Mr I/S. He's not for me - he's hot, but a rather laid back slightly sardonic manner which is fine but not something I could cope with in a relationship. Not sure he liked me.

TheSheep Maybe he got a message from someone on POF and was reading it, or maybe he had some ongoing convos with people and was keeping them as back-up. OLD is a bit of a minefield and until you have the exclusive chat I have decided to expect that guys will be messaging others, and do the same myself, even if I really like the guy.

My date with Mr Much Younger (13 years younger to be precise) went really well. He is a nice thoughtful and respectful guy and we got on well. He has never been married and doesn't have children, so his background is different to mine, but there was definitely some chemistry there. And he didn't try to lure me back to his place after the date, which I was thankful for. We have agreed to meet up again soon.

I have a date with someone else, Mr Tennis Player, on Tuesday, which is an early evening coffee date, so I will see how that goes. And there is someone from Fab that I may see on Friday or Saturday, but I'm not sure whether to go ahead with that.

Tooold Hope things work out with Mr BE.

shit remind how long have you known him for?are your parents open to you having a relationship (mine are still super-wary and think I should be on my own for 2 years at least!) and will your dd be there?
I’m spending the day with my iron (albeit as a friend) as had nothing better to do and Mr Fab has been in touch and planning on staying there the night tonight to get a particular itch scratched - excited but slightly nervous lol!

unique - give him a chance? It was probably nerves making him sweat or you were super sexy!
Batshit - MrIS - that's a shame.
Lily - Very promising then and you have several options. Go girl!
shitwith - Oooo, lunch! What can go wrong? It's lovely that he's up for it.

MrBE has asked if he can see me in the week and I replied 'of course, as long as you are not going to dump me!'

shit I’d say go for it as long as your parents aren’t the sort to get easily attached to him! I’ve have started being more open with my parents but don’t tell them about every date.
They know about my iron,what my issues are with him and that we’re essentially friends but obviously not about fab.
tooold did mr BE respond to your question about how he felt about you (us) or just scoot over that?

I share my location with my best friend on find my friends for safety

shitwit Mr Indie sounds interesting. Good luck!

I have another potential, let's call him Mr Big. He's 6'5". I was talking to a Mr Fit, but turns out he's married... Not my thing. But wants to be my friend. Nope.

Another interesting one.... The guy who said he could come round & burgle my house. Not sure how that works as a chat up line but it was a no from me.

tooold wise words. Yes I've been thinking about that today. Caution. Grief does strange things x
comedy hahah. I love it. Burgal your house. I mean....maybe it's a niche?

shitwith - How did it go?
Comedy - Gosh, that IS tall! Love a tall man, makes me feel really girly iykwim. As for MrBurglar - when has that ever been a chat up line? Have you revealed something about where you live or has he tracked you down somehow?
Koko - Mr BE replied - No, why would I and xxxx. So, I'm happy.

So pleased TooOld

Comedy is he from Fab. Lives in south east London? If he is and does he's lovely!

Having a bit of a wobble today. My iron told me what he’s have liked to have done for Valentine’s but couldn’t as he was with his son. I suggested we have Saturday as our night instead but as he’s been ill I assumed he was cancelling and I arranged something with my kids. So we said we’d see each other tonight and he just assumed he’d come over and Netflix and chill. He also sent me a very rude and unsolicited message this morning. Sometimes I’d have been ok with it but this morning it did. Irving for me. Is making me think he just sees this as sex and I feel a bit down about it.

NotCool sounds similar to Mr SA, I’m unsure what he wants and sometimes it feels he’s just after sex when it’s convenient for him.

I had a long message from someone on POF today which showed he had read my profile (commented on a few things) but he failed to remember that we went in a date last year and I didn’t want a 2nd.

lovemusic not good he couldn’t remember you had been on a date already.
He’s been v lovely so far and messages me every day and rings me quite a bit too. I can’t tell if I’m being unfair as I’d hoped he’d treat this like our valentines date and he’s being much more low key.
I will tell him today that he should check i am receptive before going straight in with the smut.

Nice one shit

Mr Sailor has just asked me out again

Just catching up with today's posts 🙂

So date two today was great. We were meant to go walking in the countryside, I got us lost driving to it - but she was a great sport and we had a fab time talking and eventually found somewhere to go walking. Spent two hours walking and talking, then for food and then for a game of bowling. And I fell over infront of her and every other person playing 🙈 Absolutely mortifying!

Anyway yeah, it's a given there will be more dates, neither of us are on any apps as e both don't have time to be dating lots of people, and this is looking promising guys! No kiss yet, but that's more because we were in public most of today - neither of us look conventionally gay and I don't want the stares! All in all, amazing and both of us didn't want the date to end.

notcool - How's it going? Is he forgiven for his lack of romance?
shitwith - That's lovely news.
Love - Sorry, can't remember is you are looking for a relationship or FWB with MrSA. That's terrible that bloke didn't remember dating you!
Batshit -
Aubu - At least she know's your human, lol. Sounds like a perfect day.
