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!

Oh myold sorry you are feeling down. I am sure it’s not anything to do with you!

myoldbrain it's not you, it's them! Remember rule 7!

If you want an unbiased male perspective on profiles or pictures, feel free to pm me.

Thanks Marlboroandmalbec34 OLD is so superficial sometimes. I know I do the same to others and I'm not going to be for everyone. Hard when it's so many in a row.

Man4allseasons I'll PM you a link to my POF profile later when I'm not working. Thanks

@Man4allseasons any chance you can you look at mine too . I dont seem to get interest from anyone decent....sigh

Eesha. Of course! Happy to help - I've had such great help and advice from people on this thread, it's only fair I reciprocate!

I'm also feeling very disheartened at the minute. Can't seem to find anyone that actually has anything to say. Plus they're all like a 90 minute drive from me which is just too far. Muh.

Maybe it's the weather... or people suffering after effects from the Rugby (not that I understand Rugby...)

@Man4allseasons Thanks! PM sent

I had a little look on POF last night for the first time in over a month and it was all the same faces, hardly any fresh meat. Tinder keeps giving me the same ones I have already said no too, feels like they are saying “are you sure you don’t want to date this guy?”.

Eesha Initial thoughts sent back!

It is really easy to feel down with it MyOld, and I am sure too that it is nothing to do with you - it could be for any reason whatsoever! Remember the rules - and maybe take a little break if you are not enjoying it?

Man4allseasons have sent you a PM, thanks

It's not you, MyOld

I have started a new thread (hope that's ok!) as this one is reaching the limit, can't link from my phone though

Myold I went through a really dry patch but suddenly things have picked up. I changed some of my pics and I think it made my profile refresh and go to the top of the pile, if that makes sense. And I have been ghosted by loads of guys, some even after a couple of dates!

I have just re-read Mr Much Younger's text asking me if I am free on Wednesday (he is the one who let me down at short notice on Friday and then didn't reply to my response - a polite one - until Sunday evening, despite having been online throughout the weekend!) The cheeky so and so wanted to come round for a tour of my house. I assume that means the bedroom! I have now replied telling him that I am busy this week but may be free next week. I did really like him but he is too flaky.

I have a date tonight with Mr Eco Warrior and will report back. Mr Tennis is also texting me. There are a few irons on POF who are messaging me, but I'm not really feeling it with them so I have been non-commital in my responses.

Managed it I think

@unique1986 how long have you been seeing MrRussian?
The moody/ sulky thing would really annoy me - I have enough of that from my 9 year old daughter!
