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

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!

user1466 so jealous of your life right now! But please give yourself a username!

Just in case you are wondering, lol, MrGardener and I have DTD and it works! I uttered the immortal words 'Don't get it fixed'. I won't be getting on top anytime soon tho .

I might have to reduce my irons down to make things easier. Mr Teacher has turned a bit naughty which has probably ruined things, he’s not that easy to talk too other than flirty talk so he might be first to go. I will see how tomorrow’s date goes with Mr Normal, I kind of feel a bit under pressure to like him as we have text a lot and he has high hopes. Mr not my type might just be a bit too nice for me but as he’s local it’s worth a date so will meet him wed/thur. Mr Army messaged me earlier to say sorry for getting funny with me last week, I just wished him good luck finding someone (no intention to meet him). Mr Mountain (a old iron) messaged me this morning but I haven’t answered as I know he will ask me over this weekend, he’s a bit boring and the sex isn’t that great either. I have a few other irons that I haven’t had time to chat too, might try and make time for them this evening or wait until after my date tomorrow.

Mr Far has sent me a 'one more sleep' message today (we meet tomorrow)

TooOld and user excellent updates there. Particularly the don't get it fixed bit sounds like fun!

Sounds like people are having fun!
Asking for advice.
Was talking to someone this morning on PoF
Was going well, but suddenly my messages stopped going through - they just disappeared.
I pressed the flirt button and that went through.
Have they blocked me?
It was a very normal conversation up until then - even going well ... :(

@TooOldForThis67 glad to hear it works 😂happy for you!

@Mythologies it does sound like it

Myth I had this happen with Mr Army and he hadn’t blocked me, he thought I had blocked him but seems to have been something wrong with POF, happened to me twice in one week.

Update from me - the iron who I thought had blocked hasn't 🤦‍♀️ my message went through this morning and he's replied. I said I thought he'd disappeared as unmatched on tinder and message not going through. He's said no, deleted tinder as talking with me and wants to see where that goes and bad reception as gone back up north to visit parents for a walking weekend. So I will now name him MrNorth 😉

Resolved - my messages were too long!
There must me a limit on them.
I am too old for this rapid fire stuff!!

@Mythologies Could be a glitch with the app, could be rule 6. Hope it's the former.

@Lovemusic33 None of them sound like they're going to rock your world tbh. I'd have a cull and start again.

@TooOldForThis67 He gets on with your mum and his cock works? Sounds like a keeper to me 👍

@user1466783975 Are you telling us you went out in public, met a real life person, got on well, he didn't show you his cock before invited and he seems fairly normal? My mind is blown. What alchemy is this??? 😂 And yes, please do get a proper user name - in my mind I've got images for all of you based on user names.

@Sunshineandflipflops I am so looking forward to your updates today and tomorrow. I may be over invested...

My mini virtual holiday romance with MrCornish is going well. 6ft 4, quite hairy (no beard ☹), but really fit (I saw the pics 😳). They don't go to the gym down here. They swim in the sea and move heavy things around on farms 😁. I did feel a little bad when we were still nattering away at midnight and he said he had to be up at 3.45am for work - actually he might be a postman? He's nice a filthy - perfect combo. Downsides - he's 4 years younger than me, never had a LTR more than 2 years, no kids, lives 40 minutes drive away once I'm home.

So I'm off for a walk along the Cornish clifftop with my long auburn hair billowing around me and my porcelain skin flushing slightly when I see my handsome, rugged hero riding towards me on his trusty steed with the steely glint in his eye and a clenched jaw that says "I must have you. Now!"

Turns off Poldark fantasy and packs sandwiches for a nice picnic with 8yo DD instead 👍

@JeSuis Go you!

Well - with apologies for going on this morning - but I have to tell someone - no action but some movement.
So ... I set up a PoF so that you lot could look at my profile (thanks @HairyArsedMan and @BatshitCrazyWoman - not because I felt up to it.
And …
I got a taker! 
Not sure it will go anywhere – but he seems keen to chat – now I have worked out how to do that on PoF – he is local to me and he seems suitable and nice.
It will fizzle out – but it has amused me this morning
Thanks folks!

Overinvesting at the first random reply ... Moi??

user!!!! Old school chatting up!! Nice one, I really hope it works out for you.

TooOld glad it's working!! I expect he is too ....

JeSuis 😂

Myth that sounds very promising

Sunshine am looking forward to your updates!

I have a date/meet tonight with Mr Big Car (Fab). He's been really chatty and our social last Saturday was exactly like a really really good first date. I am 😳 as it's not my experience of Fab.

Talking to Mr Fireman (how original!) on Bumble.

Good luck tonight, Bat

jesuis I’m Cornish so there’s a lot of profile pics of wannabe poldarks. Not that I’m moaning. He might milk cows had one iron who had to get up crack o dawn to go to work. Enjoy the rest of your holiday

Ah warls lovely
Sounds like a plan love
My babysitter has let me down so no Me Big for me tonight

jeSuis love the poldark bit!

tooood glad it works

batshit good luck tonight. Funny thing with fab is a lot of the guys on there are also on tinder and Bumble so I think they just use it as an other dating site!

It's user with new name. means corfu!
bat this sounds exciting,i remember you were quite surprised how well the first date turned out.

I'm busy tidying the house just incase I get a visitor later. Luckily the painters are in otherwise I may throw caution to the wind. Actually,tmi but I had them in two weeks ago too!? ( bloody peri menopause,i'm all over the place)

Good to catch up with all your irons and activities! You’ve all been so busy!

I’m at the airport waiting to fly somewhere warm and sunny for a week! Kids are with their dad, I’m off work so I thought bollocks - instead of sitting at home alone I’ll go and lie in the sun drinking cocktails and reading and sleeping for a week instead. Very self indulgent but sod it.

It also means I might be able to get my head straight with my Mr Mystery (FWB+) that I’m falling for. I think I’ll have to tell him when I get back I can’t see him anymore which is going to sting but must be done. 😕

@JeSuisPrest through all these threads I read your username as JeSuis Priest and only twigged today it isn’t that 🤣.

kerkyra I feel your pain on that 🤦‍♀️

Wow sidge how very brave of you - enjoy!
