Dating Thread 156 - It is hot hot hot

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!

Is it just me that sits refreshing the second-to-last page, thinking "ooh it's quiet on here today"?

@Crustaceans

'oh, THIS is what it's supposed to be like, and who I should be with'.

That's so what I strive for, never had the feeling before!!! Great to know others have found it

So my plans for tonight...

Takeaway. Bottle of wine. Go through Fab

😂😂

LilyRose88 · 26/04/2019 16:51

lifegoes that's similar to my Friday night, except no takeaway as Ocado is coming at 7.30 and I can't justify getting a takeaway when a large food shop is arriving. I may open the wine soon though. I have no decent messages on FAB (just loads of dick picks) which is depressing and don't get me started on the guys who are messaging me on POF! It is dire at the moment.

I have taken the initiative and messaged a few guys I like the look of on POF but they have either not replied or given me half-hearted replies. I even looked at local Meetups to see if there was anything I fancied this weekend. Zilch! I can't even go to the gym as my sprained ankle is still really sore.

I may have to buy more wine for tomorrow and Sunday!

supercali77 · 26/04/2019 16:58

My plans are I have DD. Once she's snoozing i'm gonna have a glass of wine. Then I need to think about what the hell i'm doing with this iron. Because i'm not feeling good about it as the days pass. Something's just not adding up. I still don't know if it's baggage (me/him/both) or real gut instinct

lifegoes · 26/04/2019 17:11

@LilyRose88 I'm hoping the wine might make OLD a bit easier on the eye tonight haha.

I really just want to get talking to someone to distract me from previous nob.

Let's compare FAB stories later haha.

@supercali77 Oh what's happened, I think I've missed a lot of posts lately. I say always go with your gut

SimonJT · 26/04/2019 17:14

It’s normally my three weekly piss up with mates tonight, but the dreaded pox have visited so I’m making do with beer and the xbox tonight as the FB can’t come over. Trying to persuade (heavily bribe) my cousin to have my son next week instead, fingers crossed!

LilyRose88 · 26/04/2019 17:24

lifegoes that's the problem. I will probably end up agreeing to a date with an 80 year old! No offence meant to people of that age - my darling Dad was a sweetie - but I prefer my men to be a bit younger Smile

Actually there is quite a hot young builder who has messaged me on POF asking me what I am doing at the weekend. Watch this space Grin

lifegoes · 26/04/2019 17:26

@LilyRose88 😂😂. I think I'll set POF back up on that note

ItsAMiracle2015 · 26/04/2019 17:30

The wine has been opened whilst I'm putting washing away. Crazy Friday night. Thinking about what I could watch on Netflix after little man has gone bed 🙈.

lifegoes · 26/04/2019 17:31

@ItsAMiracle2015 if you find anything let me know. I've just opened my wine 🍷

putastrawunderbaby · 26/04/2019 17:40

@marlboroandmalbec34 putting shit in your name is the key to success it seems!

I have a Fab social in an hour.....not expecting much but we shall see....

MrDrummer · 26/04/2019 17:42

Are Fab socials, literally, just meeting up for a coffee with someone... or is it to size each other up (!) for FWB, or ONS? Forgive my naivety Hmm

Had date number 3 with MrC last night and number 4 arranged for next childfree night next week 😊 not going to count my chickens yet though 😉🤣

Lollyjack · 26/04/2019 18:11

@lifegoes I think it’s called prick advisor group xx

lifegoes · 26/04/2019 18:11

@Lollyjack is it really? 😂

Lollyjack · 26/04/2019 18:18

@lifegoes yes just checked x

lifegoes · 26/04/2019 18:19

Found it @Lollyjack I'm going to join

ItsAMiracle2015 · 26/04/2019 18:21

I'm going to join too!!!

Lollyjack · 26/04/2019 18:21

@lifegoes I’m on it some of the stories 😳😳 xx

MrDrummer · 26/04/2019 18:24

@shitwithsugaron Thanks. But they are always a view to sex. You wouldn't have a social with someone that you weren't interested in possibly sleeping with?

ItsAMiracle2015 · 26/04/2019 18:26

I don't have dates where I'm not interested in possibly sleeping with them 🤷.

Lollyjack · 26/04/2019 18:27

@lifegoes and @itsamiricle2015. Apparently there’s another one just called prick advisor x

lifegoes · 26/04/2019 18:31

I'm so excited, I wish they would hurry up and accept me @Lollyjack
