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!

Loo update. Nice guy but I've not got any real spark off him. Jumper staying on. If he asks for a second date I'll probably say yes, could be a slow burner . We'll see ...

@comedyboobs omg the meat medium! He clearly has no idea what carpaccio is!

Deal breakers comments have been the best. I'm maybe a bit of a fan of overgrown nethers 😂. Such a weirdo 😂.

So I need a bit of advice? I've been chatting to MrKeen for the past couple of days. Normally I'd be quick with setting up a date but after my last disastrous date I'm not in any particular rush. Plus he's only 4 days into his online dating experience and I don't want to be his first? Is that silly of me? I'm not sure on my logic but for some reason I'd rather he tested the water a bit... He has a date set up on Wednesday for coffee but he's just messaged saying once that's done will I go for a drink with him? Which makes it sound like he's only doing it for that reason. I don't know if I'm being crazy? 🙈🙈😂😂

It’s a good job I’m on a diet since fat is a no on the deal breakers list.

Mine would be

“Separated”
Much shorter
No job
Bad breath
Rude
BO
Smutty conversation immediately

MyOldBrainStoppedWorking thanks
Deal breakers
Same age or older
Same height or taller
Without sounding douchy- someone who’s got a bit of disposable income. Like don’t say let’s go for a drink. Only to cancel last minute because you need to pay rent this month
No kids but becoming more open to the idea
Must like animals especially dogs
Good dress sense desired but not essential
No teetotallers but equally no heavy drinkers

@itsamiracle most people wouldn’t buy a car in its first model year so not wanting to be MrKeen’s guinea pig is perfectly fine

Thank you Gothamgirl1970! He doesn't seem to understand why I want him to meet other women first and it was making me doubt myself....

@MyOldBrainStoppedWorking haha yes. Sitting down to say goodbye def on my list now 🤮

I love tattoos. I have several myself. They make me swoon. Funny isn't it, how similar yet different the dealbreakers are. No one likes bad teeth but some of us love a beard and tatts...

I'm not averse to hairy shoulders either 😳

Oh, feet are a no no, not on you're life are feet involved.
MrElba has insisted on calling me 'the boss' because I'm small - he's 6'1" & i give zero fucks.

What are overgrown nethers???

Big bushy knob. Ahhhh. Heaven.

It's more bushy plums are a no no! Some men expect a neat front bush (which I'm all for) but I'd want them to trim too 😬

I like hair everywhere including shoulders and down there. I don’t think I could date a clean shaven man with no hair on his chest.

Ooh overgrown nethers... swoon.. I'm with you @Lovemusic33 the hairier the better

@Lovemusic33 with you on the hair! A hairless man reminds me too much of a child, shudder 😝

I mean in the nethers you do need to be able to find it, but aside from that I'm all good..☺️

I have always tended to go in the past for men that are kind of "sex piratey", as the comedian Katherine Ryan puts it (perfect description). And as that's never worked out for me that's actually probably the biggest dealbreaker for me now. Swarthy and with a bit of an edge, sure, but I want that in the form of a thoughtful, solvent adult now!

Youve reminded me!

Someone who refuses to tickle/squeeze my feet. Most relaxing thing ever.!

leonasa what do you mean by sex piratey

shitwithsugaron yes find talking about local bars and stuff a great way to suggest a date

🤣🤣🤣🤣 you lot crack me up I don't mind a bit off hair on chest and even the back is ok but after having a hairless down there man I would never go back to a hairy knob 🤣🤣🤣 so much better when you're down there 😜😜😜

I have a date for tomorrow night with Mr Eco Warrior! I still haven't replied to Mr Much Younger and won't do so until tomorrow at the earliest.

Howling I love having my feet massaged and tickled!

So bit of a odd situation. I matched with a guy Friday night on Bumble didn't message straight away. He used his extension to give extra 24 hrs to message him. He's a bit older than me and wasn't my type but something made me swipe. Anyway we chatted all day yesterday and I met him today and it all went good and he's asked to see me on Tuesday and I think I like him and he made me tingle?? What is this strange thing that has happened 🤔🤔🤔🤣🤣🤣

Lol no wonder we all on here. I forgot about the height, length 😳and hairy factors. All very important after short, unfulfilling ex H! 😂

Deal breakers

More than 5 years younger
Bad teeth
Mentioning they have no crazy ex’s
80’s style tattoos
Very over weight a little weight is fine sometimes
I always attract tall guys I’m only 5’2 and assumed I would have lots of smaller guys interested not so some have been 6’7
Broad shoulders
No sloping shoulder or too muscular

@Still18atheart I don't really know how to describe them better than sex pirates! 😆 it just somehow sums them up. Kind of sexy but broken, charming, edgy, completely unreliable 🙄

That's great @Focus2019!
