Dating thread 153- The adventures of... [Title edited at OP's request]

[30somethingandsingle]

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!

I'm thinking no but it's so bloody depressing when they seem so keen to just go poof! Bugger it I'm off to see dd at uni tomorrow bringing her home for a few weeks she is a good distraction from everything especially when she argues with her brothers brings her girlfriend over to Make pancakes (my poor kitchen)

Oh I meant to add I’ve still been pursuing selective swiping on Bumble and swiped on 3 profiles yesterday. All 3 swiped back. One looks like the timer will run down, one has messaged and the other I would love to chat to as her profile looked a bit partial before and is now more complete.

@shitwithsugaron Did I read that right that you’re meeting Mr Rugby for a serious chat after having a few drinks ?

it'samiracle no his last seen isn't showing but it never has - he was always a just "on line" showing when he was. Well it still hasn't gone through so assume it's another that's gone poof 🤷‍♀️

I can't imagine just deleting someone without saying anything especially after a day of messaging. That's so weird! And really shitty @Neverexpected2.

slippery he sounds really flaky. Do you want that in your life?

Never 😠 that's crap.

Have been swiping on Bumble and am chatting to two people.

never whenever that happens to me I always think - married or girlfriend. They need to get rid of all evidence so delete the chat and block you, they just get a kick out of the chase and never have any intention of meeting up. It's not you, its him.

Urgh JeSuis this is why I avoid reading the rest of the relationship posts on here. Makes me never want to date 😂😂.

@HairyArsedMan the straighteners are staying at home! He will just have to deal with the bed head 😄

So within three hours of being back on I've been told 'don't take it the wrong way but you look like a girl that loves it up the bum', and I've been told that my hair looks like a wig. And I've not got suggestive or slutty pics up, and my hair most definitely does not look like a wig. Bloody hell.

Surly reply "and you look like a guy who would look good with an extra large phallus cactus rammed up your arse".

surly reply with "No but I like to give it up the bum, I'm a big fan of oversized sex toys, interested?"

No to be fair don't send that, OLD is clearly populated by plenty of sexual delinquents you don't want to encourage them!

Thanks all.

Date today arranged for 3pm. Just hope I'm not stood up again like the time before last or if he does show not a complete knob like the last one🤦‍♀️

Mr Normal has said he wants to meet somewhere quiet tomorrow to go for a walk rather than a pub, should I be worried? I have met people for a walk before but usually somewhere where there’s lots of people around, most of my first dates are at a cafe or pub.

POF is busy today, have had a few messages from ok looking men, only problem being I’m short of time to date for a couple weeks. I’m not very good at this multi dating, I need some tips on how to separate people and not feel guilty for dating others.

love a walk sounds lovely. And sometimes it's easier to chat,just keep to somewhere quite busy.

Have woken to 'face in your fanny' and laughed out loud!

I have a hangover from hell,i haven't had a proper drink blow out since October.Popped up the local pub ,got chatted up and then he walked me home and we had some great snogs! It's a bit messy his end but god he is lovely.Not sure what to do but have cancelled date tonight

surley I would reply “just thinking the same about you”

user146 old style! I like it! Are you seeing him tonight instead of your other date?

love I had too many irons and couldn’t connect with any of them. At the start of the week I messaged them all and told them I was dealing with some personal stuff and wouldn’t be dating/ in contact much. It’s really sorted the wheat from the chaff! Some have disappeared, some have been lovely and sweet and checking in making me laugh and some have continued the “but I’m horny” “when can we meet” on Monday I had 6 non nameable irons. Now I have 2 Mr Irish and Mr Senior so if they keep been good sorts they will get a date on my childfree weekend next week.

Was supposed to be out with Mr Big tonight but having babysitter issues. Keep your fingers crossed for me 🤞

Just realised my last post sounded arrogant about too many irons so I feel the need to point out they were mostly from fab!

@user1466783975 Are you telling us you went out and spoke to a real life man who you had an attraction to and he didn't show you his cock before you even found out what he did for a living? My brain can't compute. What is this alchemy??😂 Sounds great 👍

Marlboro I hope so. It's just a weird situation as I am friends with his wife (who is leaving him for another man after more than 20yrs marriage and about to move out). I wonder if I am the rebound.I know him but never chatted to him before... If we do catch up later and things develop then I need to tell his wife :0 If we don't see each other it has helped me realise the other date wasn't suitable anyway.

Morning all. Still not back on the dating sites but wanted to mark my place as it's likely to happen before the end of April if it does!

Good to see you are all getting out and about on dates!

jeSuis yes!! fanny gallops at the bar big time :)

I'm off to Wetherspoons for a girlie chat and free refills (sober up)
