Dating Thread 148 - Having a Fab Time!

[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!

cassettes how did he broach moving in?? So funny

Cassettes what the actual fuck?!?!

Even with my fluid definitions I think moving in with your FWB takes it out of FWB-zone and into a whole different level!

Re sexting - I don't like explicit sexting when I've not even met someone - feels awkward when you do meet and aren't attracted 😳😕

If I've had sex with the person then it's fine, if I've met them but not dtd then flirtiness is fine, and subtle sexting but not too explicit. Otherwise it feels like you have to do what you said you were going to do, rather than what feels natural.

I'm meeting my FWB tomorrow to scratch the itch ... feeling a bit nervous ...

Marlboro Sidge he suggested I bin my lodger and let him move in - to be fair I would earn more that way given what he's paying on Airbnb (short-term contractor). I assumed he was joking but he really wasn't. Have made it clear it's not happening now or ever. Last thing on earth I want!

Haha cassettes that is brilliant!
Why nervous batshit ?

So mr Big has messaged asking about my weekend blah blah. After we dtd 2 weeks ago I mentioned tomorrow night is my next free night. We obvs got sidetracked by the whole him suggesting a threesome which I declined. Do I just ask him if he fancies a shag tomorrow? I would like to make him a FWB but not used to casual sex and don’t know if I should be waiting for him to offer?

I would take the lead @Marlboroandmalbec34 if it's just FWB you want. The only time I wouldn't if im wanting it to be more

Right I am gonna give it an hour while I get kids to bed and then if he hasn’t asked I will ask him....need to know how high to shave in the shower

@Marlboroandmalbec34 how high to shave is literally my life 😂😂😂😂😂. Proper needed that laugh 😂😂😂😂.

I didn’t wait!!! Have sent message

😂😂 how high to shave is now my new life

Busy day today can hardly keep up @richdeniro we seem very similar if I meet someone I like I fall too quickly come on strong and it crashes and burns. I've not heard from Mr Grey No2 so that's that ifvhe cant handle my emotions then too bad.

I binned an iron today mr Italian as we'd swapped Twitter details last night he started liking all these suggestive pics of near naked women. Sent him message saying guys I date don't do that and blocked !!

Got date with Mr Cyprus tonight he's coming on a bit strong so I'm half out off already. I'm going comfy in my jeans ugg trainers and my comfy cardigan lol I still feel poorly so can't be arsed he can take me or leave me lol

Got date with mr baggies Thursday he's looks wide not really my type but personality definitely so we will see.

Still chatting to my potential 3some Mr&Mrs France

Finally Mr G who I'm mtg in couple of weeks so enough to keep me busy 🤣🤣🤣

Also not sure if I mentioned but an old iron Mr Diver sent me a FB request and then liked my post he's got 2 days to message or he's being unfriended.

I've deleted my apps keeping of them for now

@Focus2019 good luck tonight! Hope it goes better than you think 😊. Also, you have a busy schedule! I love it!!!

I'm in a coffee shop awaiting a potential FWB, Mr tatts. Seems very nice in messages so am hopeful. Loo update to follow.....off to read the thread now!

Thanks for commenting lilyrose marlboro the lives alone is a drop down item like weight you'd like / height/ smoker etc so he didn't write it in his profile. I assumed he wanted someone with no kids as his have left home and he wants someone at the same life stage but then he winked at me and could have seen on my profile I live with my children. Now I will be considering he is a potential mass murderer!

Thanks myoldbrain I had assumed they were all paid members. I have basically had lots of winks and favourites. I am no oil painting so I do take them all with a pinch of salt but had messaged a few (including my favourite Mr Beard). Mr Pest is the only one to reply but I'm going to ignore him from now. I chose Match because single friends in my area had been successful with it and will give it a go for a couple of months before trying another one. Having said that stbexh has said he might have a few foreign work trips coming up which would make dating hard as I don't have a reliable baby sitter. It's a good job I don't have men lining up to take me out!

Hello! Just found this thread. I have a two year old and just reinstalled tinder this week 🙄

I have found myself thinking about the last guy I was dating. A lot. We had a lovely few months together, then he felt his depression coming back and put a stop to things as it was early days and didn't want to lean on me or make things harder if he didn't get better.

The way it ended felt very unfinished and his final message I didn't reply to as I felt it was quite defensive when he'd always been really kind. So I deleted his number.

The only way I could contact him would be to message on Instagram which I don't know if that's a bit weird?

I should probably just try and move on (I thought I had) but finding it really hard. This all ended last October! Ages ago.

Wwyd?

Wow focus that’s some week! Sorry about Mr Grey 2. Good luck tonight

Good luck dancing

Sorry for putting murder in your head stealth

Bloody hell Mr Big hasn’t replied...ffs! Now I look desperate don’t I?

Not really sure shitwith it’s a shame he already has plans but I suppose it’s not his fault you don’t have a lot of time. I get confused is this a relationship or a FWB?

roobear I would probably leave it- if he was feeling better and wanted I am sure he could/ would contact you?

Not sure then shitwith it would be nice if he could work around you if he has loads of free time and you don’t

Mr Big said no- he thought I had said no to Tuesday (I said no to threesome) and he has made plans to have his kids an extra night.

Think I am gonna sack him off. The only time we could do around our kids is every other Tuesday and I just want regular sex!

Thank fuck I didn’t shave 😂

@Marlboroandmalbec34 aw that's shame. Not sure how you get declining a threesome and just seeing him Tuesday confused mind 😂😂.

I've just agreed to meet up with a old FWB at the weekend. And yes I still have my date on Sunday 👀. But I thought fuck it, I've had a shit time lately and he's good 😉

Good on you lifegoes 😁

He said he thought I had said I had a date on Tuesday. I do but it’s a lunch date which he defo knew. Feels like game playing to me which I cannot be arsed with. Shame because he really was good (and errr big)

Still got Mr Giant for lunch tomorrow, he is not my usual type but he is 6ft 5 and seems lovely so worth a shot

I bet he comes back Marlboro those always do.

What's the possibility of your lunch date turning into something else? Why's he not your type
