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!

10pm one is legit as I'm lazy and my charger is upstairs so I probably wouldn't bother at that point. Seems weird the other 2 times though. Surely it's not that common occurrence?? Have you got him on social media?

That's what's thrown me Miracle it wouldn't bother me for certain things. The 10pm one But it's never happened and now 3 times and in the middle of the convo. It's really starting to make me not trust him.

I've never known anyone have their battery die so often and leave it. Which makes me think it's not dying he's switching it off.

Oh and I haven't got him on social media he has it all and when I've checked it's quite open and he's not married, def divorced but unsure about the volume of women he has on there.

Leaving in 10 minutes. Really wish I could have a drink but I'm driving 😐 honestly think I'll be too nervous for anything at this rate.

If it's right in the middle of a chat on like 3 consecutive days I would think that's weird. If I'm right in the middle of chat and my phone died, I would go and get my phone charger 🤷. How long have you been chatting?

Is anyone else watching fleabag season 2....just thought of it when you mentioned the priest aspect of your name jesuispreist. I bloody love it

30 pick up a bottle of something on your way so you can have something when you're there. I'm sure he'll have something but good to be prepared.

I'm still chatting to Mr Guitarist. He hasn't asked for a date but neither am I. At this point I'm so over invested I don't even want to ask as I'm enjoying our chats so much. And have decided I'll move to his area. A small wedding I think. Nothing crazy. He'll cook and I'll do all the cleaning. Completely normal 👍🙈.

Right in the middle of a conversation miracle I would do the same, go get my charger. A few weeks now, he's lovely when his phone is charged, replies all the time. Sends multiple texts etc. Always nice. But the past few days have created doubt in my mind with him.

Good luck 30something

lifegoes that was me for most of yesterday evening. My phone kept forgetting how to connect to the wifi so none of my WA messages would go through.
However, it does should weird. Can't think of a good reason why you'd let your phone die mid conversation.

30somethingandsingle good luck. We're all waiting for an update!

Marlboroandmalbec34 just caught up. I'm happy he found her boring. Don't do that again!

@ItsAMiracle2015 I trust we'll all be invited to the wedding, right???

Maybe pull back a little on the messages lifegoes? Have you met yeah? I'd be equally suspicious if I'm honest. I think that's quite odd. But maybe there's an innocent explanation for it?

And I may have a date tomorrow evening. With someone that I'm actually looking forward to meeting.

MyOld I don't either, other than being with another woman or something to hide. I'm going to give him a miss I think. Shame as he's hot, but too strange behaviour already for me.

I won’t myold Have a great date

Miracle we were arranging to meet this weekend but he suddenly forget he had his kids for a week 👀.

I tried pulling back today, but he kept messaging. I think I'll just ignore him if/when he gets back in touch for the rest of the weekend.

MrDrummer I think I'm in love with him. He's beautiful. Quirky. Funny. Gets my sense of humour. Doesn't message too much but just enough. Honestly. I think it's meant to be 😂. I'm trying not to tell him all of this as it could be a bit much after like 3 days messaging 😉.

He forgot he had the kids? How do you forget that? Nah with that and the random battery dying mid conversation I'd be giving him a miss.

He forgot he was looking after them.

Yep! I agree miracle.

So advice in situations like this, do you just ignore messages/texts etc? Tell him you are interested or what?

I did try and say last night I didn't think this was for me and he just kept saying he's genuine and that we need to meet but then he doesn't meet up. 🤷🏻‍♀️

@ItsAMiracle2015 just copy and paste that message to him and see how you get on!! [Grin]

I tell you something you don't see much of in this thread... The use of the word "love". Good luck for it and I hope it goes your way. Thread definitely needs a wedding! ;)

I'd ignore but I think I'm a bit of a coward 🤷. You don't really have proof that he's doing anything naughty but it's enough red flags to not waste any more time and energy.

@ItsAMiracle2015 don't meet him! Or even speak to him. I had a glorious month long one of those in the summer. It was so lovely. I really enjoyed it. I was soooooo in love. Virtually. Then we met and yeah he was old and paunchy... I'd rather we'd just carried on without meeting. Oh and the one time I got into sexting was the same. I fancied him so much, he was such a good sexter/phone sexer. I put off meeting him for about 6 weeks and had the hottest non-sex with him. Walked around in a hormonal haze. Then I couldn't resist meeting him and... meh. But I soooo enjoyed it I don't regret it all all. Just wouldn't do it again.

I've not even opened any apps the last 2 days and that's saying something! I actually don't want to meet him now in case I'm disappointed. Or even worse, he's disappointed!

Hahaha miracle I'm a coward also. I'll ignore.

Oh and meet your new man soon. Or else you'll be married, kids and house all in your head 😉
