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!

Haha miracle I do, I think I must have a sign on my dating profile that says, all nutjobs/narcissists are welcome here lol.

Myold it did freak me out, I have looked at peoples locations before. But I wouldn't openly say to them oh I seen you were out due to... 👀

I literally couldn't imagine messaging someone wishing them a good night out as their tinder location changed. Why would anyone think that's normal behaviour??!! So weird.

@lifegoes not just you hun. 🤦🏼‍♀️

My God, my whole body aches 😳
As well as being like the Duracell bunny, I think we tried every variation of position going and I can feel it!
So tired too...I’m getting old 😂

sunshine glad you had a fab night. Did your parents notice the stubble rash?

Alright sunshine stop bragging 😂

Was going to say the same as Marlboro 😂😂😂😂.

Miracle I've just logged on to tinder since yesterday and he'd sent me two messages on there

Beyond weird lifegoes. I just don't why anyone would think that's normal. Don't get me wrong I want to marry Mr Guitarist and I've been checking his Tinder location all day 🙈 but I wouldn't message him about it?? I definitely wouldn't message on both WhatsApp and Tinder. And if my phone died whilst talking to him I'd sprint upstairs the get my charger 🤷.

Haha! I honestly feel like crap and don’t know fb I’m going to be able to move tomorrow!

No, I think my concealer did the trick @Still18atheart. I’m going to whack some
Sudocrem on it overnight!

I never have before shit but I've been a nutter today. More to see if it has changed. Which it did. And he told me he was talking to the other women on there. I'm going to have to bite the bullet and ask to meet 😫😫😫😂.

life that's weird and stalkery!!

Sunshine I empathise - inner thighs are killing me! Just did an abs and HIIT workout - thought I'd better avoid legs/squats!!

Miracle I was shocked he had done that.

You have to arrange to meet him, or else you'll get more emotionally attached.

Tell me about it batshit and shitwith

Mind is blown

@Sunshineandflipflops not at all jealous...

@lifegoes at least his weirdness manifested itself early on. Next!

@Candace19 Why do you think these men are out of your league?

@WarIsPeace All sounds very promising
🤞

@HairyArsedMan 🤗

MrStone is getting on my nerves with his schoolboy innuendos. He messaged me something mucky at lunchtime, I sent him a picture of posh coffee machine I'd taken apart to clean and couldn't put back together - told him to make himself useful and work out how to fix it . Not heard from him since 😂. This is why I only have instant coffee at home.

MrCornish is calling me later for a chat 😳. He's very lovely. We share photos of food and have a little bit of sexy talk. It's a nice balance involving 2 of my favourite things 😋

How do you stop yourselves over investing in an iron?
Talk to other irons? Continue dating others?

Repeating to myself 'must not over invest' is not quite cutting it 😏😐

Well Mr Outdoors came round this afternoon and we got on really well. He was better looking than I remembered and very easy to talk to. We went for a walk and then I cooked dinner (heated up a pizza). We had a lovely kiss and cuddle and things got a bit steamy but I asked him to stop as I felt it was a bit too early to dtd. I explained this to him and he was fine about it. I told him that I really fancied him but wanted to get to know him a bit better.

I feel like I want to do things properly with him as it has the potential to turn into a relationship. I may still pursue a Fab meet-up but I am less fussed now as I am pretty certain that Mr Outdoors will scratch my itch very well in the near future.

I'd love to know that 30. I find I get talking to one Iron on a personal note. I stop talking to others. Or I just lose interest in them.

@lifegoes this is me too. Ashamedly I stayed up till 4 am talking to someone last night who I thought I clicked with. And admittedly he has text me throughout today & seems keen. But I can see he's still on Match which I know is the name of the game but this whole don't get invested thing is taking some bloody practice!

@lifegoes yes I feel like I have put all my eggs in one basket with MrFox, and spent today probably overthinking things and trying not to self sabotage/engage self preservation skills 😬

@Candace19 I'm so grateful I'm not the only one who feels this. I find myself chatting to a guy and even though I'll try and keep swiping. Their conversation just bores me as it's not the person I want to chat with.

I really wish I knew how others do it?

@30somethingandsingle I think we need some rules on not over investing.

Can anyone else on the board give us tips on what you do once you get talking to a guy/girl. How do you stop yourself?

Mr Far has been in touch. He'd like to see me again and so would I, so that's that for now, just some diary juggling to sort out.
