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!

itsamiracle have you tried vaping? My mum switched to it after 30 years smoking and is fine with it

Ah shitwith things stills bit cold with *mr rugby?

supercali I keep thinking of trying vaping but never get round to it

30sonething go for it

supercali77 I did try vaping and occasionally go back to it but it's just not the same 😕. I don't smoke much though (maybe 10 a day) but for non smokers that's 10 too many 🙈.

Netflix and a different takeaway a night actually sounds pretty good.

marlboro and It'samiracle yeah not everyone takes to it...remebering to charge them and the change in taste etc. But it's way cheaper and no smell etc. I do it. I quit smoking 10 years then after dd developed colic at 3 weeks old I went out and bought a vape haha. Vaping out the back window got me through colic hell and I've never stopped

30something date sounds amazing. Yeah if you feel a good connection and you haven't had that for a while bloody go for it!

Had another amazing night last night. Drum injuries are clearing up haha. We have the same sense of humour to a T. I've obvioisly had similar sense of humour to previous partners to some degree but this is like...finishing each other's jokes/sentences stuff. It's uncanny. And hella sexy

Sounds perfect supercali
I am going to quite smoking when my divorce comes through which 🤞should only be a few months

marlboro hurry for finalising a divorce! Final smoke and a glass of champers for you!

Just got 2 guys mixed up. Fucking hell. That's embarrassing and not sure how to get out of it? 🙈😂.

@ItsAMiracle2015 I received a message from the guy I am dating early on that was quite clearly meant for someone else so I just made a point of saying I assume that wasn't for me and laughed about it. Guess it depends what you said!

What did you do itsAmiracle

Couple of bottles supercali 😁

Asked 1 how long he'd been playing the guitar for and also, that I enjoyed our chat from last night and apologies as I'd had a couple glasses of wine 🙈. Not the guitar player. And also the one I hadn't replied to last night as I'd been talking to Mr Guitarist.

Oops! Hopefully he'll see the funny side!

He replied saying 'clearly you're not a 1 man sort of woman'. Ouch!

Ouch!!!

Thanks too all good with me and bf but other issue I spoke to you about is stressful
30 great news re Mr Fox
sunshine excited on your behalf for sleepover
shit hope you’re able to meet and get some closure/commitment from Mr Rugby on Sunday
Loving reading the thread,just can’t keep up with it all!

So a while ago I matched with a guy on both Bumble and Tinder. Messaged him first on both (on separate occasions) and he didn't reply. We matched again on tinder last night and he just sent this message...

So I'm pretty sure we matched on bumble a lil while ago... you messaged and it timed out before I had a chance to reply?! Worst opening line ever I know but...

🐧 heres a baby penguin to say I'm sorry 😂😂

Hmmmm 😂😂😂

@StealthNinjaMum You'll be happy to learn I added something to say despite my 'accomplishment' in growing tall I wasn't height-ist and a compatible personality was more important to me.

Ok I know I'm gonna get judged for this question..
Would you date someone that lived in a awful area. Like wasteland bad?

Depends on the individual. Living there for cheap rent and is actually a doctor or diamond in the rough or like good aspirations to improve themselves.

I don't think it's bad to think that! Definitely depends on the individual though. Maybe lived there their whole life and close to friends/family?

Yes I know how expensive if it is to afford better areas these days.
But this would be more having lived there all their life.
Let's say it's an island. Or very dodgy area of a city.
I guess some want to moved out to nicer places others don't.

@unique1986 it would put me off, he would have to sound pretty amazing for me to want to meet him.
I know that sounds awful 😏

@30
I know what you mean.
I could easily meet someone in public and not worry bout where they live for a while.
But it's still a thing.

I used to live in a really nice area but moved back to my home town to be closer to my family. My home town is definitely not the nicest of areas but rent is cheap for the house I have, I've got a good job in a different town and I'm close to my family 🤷. I do have to look outside the area for dates though which is a pain in the arse 😂😂.
