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!

Enjoy your holiday Sidge

@Sidge
Me too! Haha! (@JeSuisPrest name)

@kerkyra does that mean you've sacked off your younger tattooed man? Can I have him if mr Unsuitable decides he is going?

I cannot imagine meeting someone IRL.

sidge good for you. I am doing the same I. June. Cannot bloody wait

peanut if you live near north oxon then please message him :) I did send him a txt to cancel. And thinking about it,it actually took him 13 messages to ask my name :/ ( how do I put am emoji thing in,it doesn't seem to work on my laptop).

Havent heard from last night man yet,hoping it wasn't the drink talking. He hasn't had a date in about 22yrs and has no idea. bless!

Just got this message on fab..what a charmer

“Well hello. Hope your Friday evening is going well. Mmm what can I say.. The best of the best. You are beautiful. It would be an honour to meet you”

Marlboro oh no,far too nice. A right wet lettuce!

Marlboro where are you off to in June?

I’m waiting to board. Excited now!

@Marlboroandmalbec34 um. 🤮. He's after one thing only.

@kerkyra bit far too travel. He didn't even ask your name?? Funny isn't it how sometimes we convince ourselves to meet someone even though we know deep down it's a waste of time

@Sidge I love a solo holiday. God I'd love some sun right now. My kids are away this week but not going anywhere due to lack of funds.

@Mythologies - No problem, thanks for your help too! Good luck with your chap

@PeanutHedz speaking of real life, I had an experience in Iceland where the cashier gave me such a sultry look that I was blushing down to my ankles. And there was another time in Aldi where it felt like eyes were boring in to me. Such is dating profile paranoia that real life instances get written off as 'oh blimey I have been recognised'. I realise Happn makes a whole dating concept out of this! It did set me musing as to whether just about everyone has a dating profile to go along with their career profile (LI) and their friends profile (FB) and their sporty profile (Strava) and their bookworm profile (Err...new app anyone?)

Break out the bunting! I have an iron!
Local, good looking, easy to chat with, funny. Something must be wrong with him 😂
I won't name him yet as he'll probably disappear. But it's looking good so far.

Hairy I had a horrible experience where a man followed me around Sainsburys and cornered me by the crisps - real life encounters aren't all positive! I'm pretty certain he didn't 'recognise' me from Fab, but it was unsettling all the same. There's definitely a line between chatting someone up and basically harrassing her 😂

Oh MyOld exciting!

Obviously I'm the only Outlander fan 😳🙈. Je Suis Prest is the motto of the main protagonist "I am Ready".

I'm not a priest... as you can probably tell from my propensity to fall into bed far too quickly "because it's different this time and he's the one!!" 😫

Brilliant myold he sounds great

@JeSuisPrest My schoolboy French may be failing me, but isn't it 'je suis pret' ? Can't do the little hat on the 'e' ...

I'm not a priest... as you can probably tell from my propensity to fall into bed far too quickly "because it's different this time and he's the one!!"

I did think the name 'priest' was a bit ironic 😂

I am SO nervous about seeing MrFox tonight, beginning to wish I had gone for one of his suggestions! Not sure why I'm so nervous, I usually have no problems at the thought of a shag.

Because you really like him 30 :) ?

@HairyArsedMan Prest is the medieval spelling and fits with the time period in which Outlander is set (1700's). You are correct that the modern spelling is Prêt, but in the series it's definitely Prest and is the Clan Fraser family motto. I may be a little Outlander obsessed 😳. The chances of me finding a 6ft 4in red headed Scotsman whilst OLD are vanishingly small unfortunately 😂

30something excited for you

myold yay for you

sidge I am going to tour round Italy

So I have done something very stupid
I like Mr Big (FWB) but I know it cannot go anywhere. We had plans tonight but I had to cancel as sitter let me down. I am talking to a women (not sure why just became friendly- non sexual) on fab who is looking for a date tonight so I have put them in contact! Why? I don’t know? Self sabotage? Pleeeease can someone explain me to me 😂

@Marlboroandmalbec34 😳 yikes, I'd agree with self sabotage!

Fuck, Marlboro why???

I don’t know!!!!! FFS how do I stop it? What have I done?
Maybe I am testing him?
Maybe I want to prove I am not falling for him? To him and me
Why am I such a stupid twat!!!!
