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!

Love your message MIA, and Dancing's - mine is too pompous. Go for it!

The irony is I ended up at gynae as an emergency with a sex injury from him repeatedly trying to jab it in. I hadn’t told him about it to spare his feelings! Don’t know why I bothered!

Ouch 😳 MIA

Bloody hell MIA! He should know he's a danger to womankind as well as a bad-mannered piece of shit. Defo include that in your parting shot.

I am back...he is so lovely...I want a FWB but he is defo relationship material..but I don’t know if I want that? But wow he was lovely and funny and gorgeous. Can I message him or do I have to wait 3 days of follow some other shitty rules?

I'd message Marlboro

Definitely send the message Marlboro I don’t believe in following ‘rules’ or maybe that’s where I’m going wrong 😂

So I went with this message:

‘Well it might be your style to disappear without saying anything but it’s not mine, so good luck finding what you’re after! Best not to do that weird thing in bed with the next woman. I wasn’t going to ever tell you this to save your feelings but seeing as you don’t care about mine - I ended up in gynae as an emergency on the Sunday with a sex injury. Worth bearing in mind for your next hook up. Best wishes!’

Thanks for everyone’s advice. I feel quite upbeat now and like he’s shown himself up. On to the next one!

Oh wow Mia! Definitely well done on that message after reading about your emergency! 😳

Malboro send the message. I never played games and it worked out ok for me ☺️

He’s unmatched me now

Definitely a twat who can’t even say sorry then!

Well done MIA, you have played a blinder there and can now forget him completely. Onwards and upwards!

Marlboro - just message him saying how lovely you thought the date was, where's the harm?

Yeahhhhhhh Malboro this has made my day. Message him now. Go for it.

mia that is a brilliant message

Omg Mr Giant messaged me. He thinks I am gorgeous and would love to see me again yay for me 😉

@MIA12 yep a definite twat!

He's the type of twat who will probably come crawling back with some crappy excuse in a few months time too! Well done though

I'm getting quite worried about Mr Guitarist. He looks good in pictures, tall, we have so much in common. We laugh and text.

I can't meet him until Sunday (my fault)

Its going to go all wrong isn't it 👀

Oh @MIA12 just read your posts.

Well played for that message, I hate these guys who think it's acceptable to treat people like that. Good for you doing that.

MIA well done!! I'm a believer in calling out shitty behaviour.

Marlboro yeah! That sounds great

lifegoes have faith. Sunday isn't that far away. Just keep chatting.

Cassettes I bottled it on Fab...again! I had a couple of potentials but I had no idea what to say in my messages. The usual "how's your day going?" didn't seem right.

Thanks everyone. Hopefully he’ll reflect and behave better with the next woman he meets.

life Sunday isn’t too far now. Fingers crossed he lives up to expectations!

MyOld no shame in bottling on Fab - I lasted 20 minutes and was left a limp rag! It might be worth persisting though as it seems to have a lot of action, just practise different responses and see what happens.

Marlboro yay!

Yay MIA that's brilliant!

And yay Marlboro that sounds great!

Lifegoes don't psych yourself out - it doesn't have to go wrong!

Thanks myold and Mia
Watch him be a catfish. Ha

I tried fab, I was overwhelmed with it all. "you want this" "can you handle this" - with picture of d*cks all the time.

It made me laugh and some were asking how I was, but had no picture so I wasn't sure. I'm sticking with tinder and bumble for now.

Cassettes I agree with those who say the men on Fab are generally more polite and clear about what they want.
I just found it weird to be interviewing a potential sex partner. Which is what OLD is about anyway but Fab just seemed so much more explicit!

Thanks leonasa although feel a bit mean now!

I meant to say to you on the previous page that I wouldn’t bother committing to an expensive plan. I did a two week free trial on bumble and then tinder offered me a discounted month but I haven’t renewed either of them. I don’t mind paying a small fee and might try them again in a few weeks but I wouldn’t recommend spending loads. It’s not worth the benefits.

MyOld I suppose I found the frankness on Fab very refreshing and two-way after the mindgames you play on yourself with the swiping apps. But as I was/am very clear that sex is the most important thing to me, it proved itself just completely up my street, quite literally since my Fab FWB is 5 minutes round the corner!

My FWB tonight is from Fab Definitely worth persisting ....

If this date goes bad at the weekend I'll try Fab again. Maybe I need to add more rules.
