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!

😂😂 at jumper whipping JeSuis - good luck!

Welcome Howling

Deal breakers for me are:

Heavy drinker/social life revolves around alcohol

Bushy beards

Fat

Bad clothes

Deal breakers :-
Beards [totally gives me the creeps].
Men shorter than me and I'm only 5.5.
White socks - yes I did date a guy who wore white socks!
Skinny guys.
Missing teeth - had several of those!

Wow my deal breaker list is growing 😂😂. I don't like heavy drinkers but I also don't particularly like men who don't drink at all. I love a glass of wine and would rather not feel bad about it 🤷😂. I think the main ones for me are height, and they need to have a sense of humour. I can't do too serious or sappy. Urgh. I hate sappiness 🤷.

Welcome Howling - care to tell us your deal breakers. We promise not to diss you! Lol.
Good luck on your date tonight JeSuis.
Comedy - Lol! sneakily looks up carpaccio.

Also looked up carpaccio 😂😂. So glad it werent just me 😂😂😂

@comedyboobs please keep this going lol

Keep your updates coming... having a low day today....

The erection thing was something you would expect off a young man just starting out in the dating world.... Just ewwwwww

Has MrBE replied yet....

Hi you lot.

Can I join? Been lurking for a few weeks and find you all inspirational. I only wish I'd found you months ago!!

Been old for 18 months. Managed to get friend zoned twice and had a date with a mute. It's scared me off

I'm 5'10 and I think men don't like tall women 😢 with no chest to speak of either 😝

Love men with hair! On their head and chin, but preferably none on their back 🦍

Loving the deal breaker list:

Fat
Rude / zero manners
Continuous asking for bum or boob pics
Having a rant about their ex
Bragging about cars, houses, money

I have never been asked for bum or boob pictures!! I almost feel a little insulted 😂

I'm fairly easy going so not too many dealbreakers really, anyone who has 'Conservative' listed under their politics would be an instant swipe left and anyone generally right wing. Luckily I'm 5'11 anyway so height is rarely an issue, I did once date a girl who was slightly taller than me, it did feel a bit weird though. Otherwise it would be the fairly normal ones - obesity, workaholics, people that talk about themselves for an entire date, women clearly on the rebound or not over their ex, superficial women who love money and of course anyone narcissistic/histrionic on the cluster b spectrum.

Lol comedyboobs but can we add 'red ass' to that list to reflect all the spankers?

Request for red ass pics in case not clear!

Lily rose I love your list-
My no go areas-
Overweight
No interest in own kids
Bad clothes
Smoking
Bad teeth
Debt or
Money issues
No kids
Either too heavy or non existent drinker
Too political
Jeez I could keep going

I spoke and Mr S listened and calmed it down again. That makes me want him even more
We're having a chilled movie night tonight. Now it's just up to me to regain some self control and and not start getting 'in the mood' when I've told him not to!

My deal breaker list

Shorter than 5'11
Bushy beard (trimmed is acceptable)
No car
No job
Not seeing kids
Poor hygiene
Bad teeth

Deal breakers
Over weight
Neurotic/highly strung (think Hen in 4 weddings)
Large tattoo’s everwhere
Lots of iron mongary
Those who Make it difficult for exes to see their kids ( i walked out mid date once when someone said proudly they were withholding access)
Smokers

Those would be the main ones

Sorry if I a m a bit out of the loop both what has been said in the past on this thread and the other 149 threads and in the dating world itself. but can I join in on here??

just to say I am single for the first time for a while after a fairly complicated relationship. Won't go into details. But willing to share my single adventures - come across some absolute blinders on tinder already - and read about yours as well.

Haha yes, pony

I love tattoos, 2 full sleeves & I tend to over look their other faults. I need to work on that.

Welcome new people. Feel free to ask and share.

Dealbreakers:
Bad teeth
Overweight
Scruffy clothes
Hi vis jacket on profile pic
Scowling on all the pics
Criticising my lifestyle (I will eat cake if I want to)
Texting me the reason why you can't stand up to say goodbye (a unique deal-breaker but one I'll be think of on every date from now on)

Anyone had a bumble glitch issue?

It showed I had a notification with the bubble sign flashing and with a yellow dot on the mans name, but no message! I asked him yesterday but he'd sent no message, it's happened again today, I can't ask him again he'll think I'm a right douche bag!

Deal breakers
Really muscular men
Skinny men
Beards that smell like their last meal 🤮
Poor hygiene
Overgrown nethers
I daren't look at feet...I'd be off everytime

Jog - Overgrown nethers, yes! Agree. Lol

So quickie from me as MrWow will be here soon.
Date is on with MrBE for either Weds or Fri! He's already told me that he wouldn't want kinky sex all the time, lol. Why did he tell me that last time instead of ignore my questions!!

Oh god that's reminded me.

Touch my feet and I may kill you! That's a deal breaker!

@Jogrighton yes - in fact I actually wrote to Bumble about it! 😆 was happening to me all the time and I was convinced I was missing messages. They said they'd look into it but nothing...

Welcome to you and @Howlingatthesun

@TooOldForThis67 good luck with Mr Wow and that sounds good with Mr BE too!

Got a date organized with Mr Italian for Weds. Mr Sailor needs to get his skates on now - he is messaging a lot but has basically ignored me saying that we should get that drink we talked about soon. I think that might be because he has quite a lot of little work trips on but there is a danger that if things develop with Mr Italian he might miss his chance! ☺️
