Dating thread 155 - Spring lovin'

[supercali77]

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!

Happy dancing with @shitwithsugaron

Shit with- so happy for you- I’ve jealous 🤣

unique i would get the dates in while you have the opportunity and nice weather.

shitwith woohoo congratulations!

@DancingWithWillard Spot on!

@shitwith Congratulations!

@Dancing - you have summed up my impression of a potato man to a tee!

Congrats @shitwithsugaron hopefully I will be next to receive and do my happy dance too! Can't imagine how good it feels!

@shitwith - co?ngratulations from me too :-) Can we have a divorce party, sod the nachos, let's just have champagne and cake!

Thank you so much for asking @JeSuisPrest I’m better than I was - no crying since yesterday. I’ve removed all evidence of him from Facebook because it was torturing me - I kept looking at it obsessively and wondering why he finished it. I think on reflection he probably wasn’t right for me long term - still hurts like hell though. I’ll give it a few weeks and get back out there - I’m a catch after all!

On the subject of pursuing... that's one thing I wish MrFox would do a bit more. I can't really complain as he always replies to any messages I send and I always get a good morning and goodnight message, but it would be nice if he was a bit more forward.
I feel a bit like I am always the one doing the organising, asking when he's free etc. Maybe I should step back after tomorrow's date to see if he asks. The problem is I get so few child free nights that I like to plan well in advance and can't really do things on the spur of the moment.

@mrdrummer I liked that photo. It was obviously old. It was an action shot and had a low quality, atmospheric feel to it.

Congratulations @shitwithsugaron

Shit with- I’m so glad you said that I was going to ask if was also a bit shit and then had a wobble that that was just me! Phew😅
Now the fun- 💐 you are the prize!
Stealth- I didn’t see the photo. Maybe was great.
The whole advising to wear Lycra is another weird one on me! Is that the same person as was being OTT?!?

DancingWithWillard spot on!! But what does all that have to do with potatoes?

I think I'm having a wobble but I'm not sure.

I'm meeting this guy tomorrow, everything has been great and exciting via text. But since yesterday it's like pulling teeth. He seems very different with me. He's the one I ranted about being online and not replying (even though he did eventually)

I'm just noticing a shift in his behaviour as before we agreed the date he would always reply straight away and text asking how I was/up to etc.

But that's dropped off, Its really causing me to have doubts about going. As it feels he isn't interested anymore.

But I'm not sure if it's just me having a wobble??? HELP

lifegoes i tend to go quieter once i have a date in place. It will be fine. It's almost like we have the date set and can chill...as long as he doesn't stop completely i am sure it will all be ok

Thanks @kerkyra I've been so hurt in the past I really watch how people behave and if something changes it makes me think "here we go again"

Am just catching up

MrDrummer sorry if i have wrong but if your profile pic is you at 19 I vote change it to more. Recent

Shitwithsugaron happy decree absolut 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Life goes- agree with kerkyra pressure is off when arranged. Prob not a big texter but had to make effort until date sorted. Have a glass of vino is a gorgeous evening

Just been on facebook and seen that it would have been the birthday tomorrow of a dear friend I made through Match right at the beginning of OLD. Beautiful, charismatic, tortured soul who took his own life on Boxing Day. I didn't know him long but he was unforgettable. Feeling sad right now. And lonely. Who do you tell the little things to when there's no-one there to share them with?

@putastraw you tell us. I’m very sorry to hear that, he must have been in a very dark place. I hope you are ok x

Sorry to hear about your friend putastraw.

lifegoes it is difficult to tell to be honest. Is your gut telling you that it is a waste of time? You could always go on the date and leave if you are not feeling it. I have made an excuse to leave a few first dates after an hour as it was clear I was never going to have a second date.
