Dating thread 150 - I get knocked down, but I get up again....

[DaffoDeffo]

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!

@wishywashy6 Yes, we were going away to a caravan during the Easter holidays. The kids were all really upset we've split. That's one thing I will definitely take from this - don't introduce kids too early, it's too hard if/when it finishes especially as our DDs were really good friends and now they won't see each other. I feel dreadful about that and so does he. He's still taking his kids and I've booked a cottage for me and my DD, I don't see why she should miss out. A few days by the sea in Poldark country will do us the world of good.

Love - Drink the wine, send the text. Job done. Lol. But seriously there are so many red flags: - the distance, the booty calls, all on his terms, lack of going out, lack of consideration for your plans/feelings. He's not going to change is he.

MrRY msg to say that his son didn't want to leave so yes it was last minute and it doesn't stop me from going out. So I guess I'd be a heartless cow if I didn't understand. His son is 4. But I don't want that! It's now too late to make alternative plans/dates lol.

Good luck myold with Mr Biker.

Sports men - years ago I(we were teenagers) dated a Premier league footballer, he was very arrogant. His team isn't Premier at the moment. I looked him up on fb a couple of years ago. He was a supporter of the national front, lots of union flags, owner of 2 bull dogs & had a skinhead. I don't want to stereotype, but it's funny how things turn out. What with me being' non white'.

I also dated a tennis player. It was odd, he cooked a meal for me - spag bol & he ate it naked & talked about carpets. I didn't see him again. I became vegetarian shortly after that experience.

@ComedyBoobs tomorrow night is what we have arranged... but Mr S has now asked to come over. I don't know which to choose!

Ooh ComedyBoobs thought so - I'd definitely give him another chance in that case! 😊😉

Good luck tonight MyOld, looking forward to the update!

30 is it just not being sure about dating properly, or are there other things that give you pause about Mr S? I know you felt he was rushing things? Maybe you could sneak one in with the footballer before you deal with that anyway

Hope all goes well with the couple LilyRose - will be waiting for that update! ☺️

Love send the text!

How annoying, TooOld. Mr Curry has a primary aged DC who has been admitted overnight to hospital. He hasn't said, but I'm assuming he's cancelling tomorrow's date. Understandable but I'm disappointed as I really wanted to meet him.

In other news, I was getting fed up with the unavailability of my FWBs (only I could pick semi long distance FWB 'arrangements' 😂), so I'm back on Fab, deleting dick pics and happening upon a fit 35 year old who lives a couple of miles from me and is looking for a FB ....

30something - you find a way to juggle both

@leonasa it's mostly just being unsure about dating in general. My exH hurt me pretty badly and I don't want to develop feelings for someone and get hurt again- Mr S hasn't done anything wrong really, other than being a bit too open about what he wants. He too was hurt badly in the past hence just having fun on fab but his reasoning for wanting more is that life is too short and so when you have a connection like we do, we should grab it with both hands and see where it goes (he has got a point). I can't fwb forever I guess!
I like your idea of Mr footballer... he's texting me a lot tonight wanting to come over tonight... I'm very tempted!

@30somethingandsingle get your footballer round life is too short !!

@Focus2019 pmsl, terrible advice. He's on his way round

Get the footballer round tonight and then meet Mr S tomorrow

@30somethingandsingle pmsl good for you update us later!!

@shit this is priceless

@shitwithsugaron 🤣🤣🤣🤣 that is excellent!!

Ooh shitwith this is exciting indeed.

Looking forwards to updates from lilyrose and 30something

tooold that’s annoying. But we all have kids and understand it can be tricky. How do you feel about dating a man with such a young son?

jesuis sorry the children are upset. It’s hard to know when the right time is. My kids met Mr S bit they are older teens and it was in passing. They didn’t get attached. But i still felt ridiculous and embarrassed when he ended things a couple of weeks after. I’d introduced them thinking things were one way...

lovemusic have you messaged Mr SA yet?

30Something I don't get it as every team that was relegated from the Premier League last season has played today, I thought it was the Swansea keeper until he played at 5.30 tonight and gosh he really is handsome! Me and shitwith will have Mr Footballer for more than his good looks, mainly to quiz on the current state of refereeing these days!

Can I join pls

Started online dating had a date last week we got ridiculously drunk spent the evening snogging in the corner of a bar then on the small dance floor like a couple of teenagers then we both went a bit quiet. Felt bit embarrassed then chatted again and he asked for a picture of my boobs twice I said no then I didn’t reply. He apologized I didn’t reply then today said hello again and I replied

Part of me thinks I should tell him where to go, a friend said she is always been asked for photos of her boobs

I fancy the pants off him and really see him as a fwb

He has been totally over the top with attention (was really nice and after last guy I was seeing who gave nothing away) and I have really enjoyed it

Is boob pictures the thing - I am not sending photos of my tits to someone I don’t really know (despite having his tongue down my throat for an evening)

shit!!!! I'm so excited for you and shop guy!

enthhusiasm i def wouldn’t send a pic of my boobs to someone that hadn’t seen them irl. How did he react when you said no?

shitwith how exciting!!! Send a message. We're all waiting to hear what happens next

30something see the footballer

Date with Mr Biker went ok. He seems nice. Not my usual type.
But we managed to talk for nearly 2 hours. Which is good for me on a first date. I've usually had enough after about an hour.

I had to leave a bit early because of a mini crisis at home. All sorted now. I explained but it probably seemed rude.
Just waiting to hear from him.
