Dating Thread 156 - It is hot hot hot

[midcenturylegs]

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!

@TooOldForThis67 if you really mean that pm me. Will stay up for a few mins longer

Hope you are OK tooold. Sometimes getting what we want can be very scary. But you and Mr W are clearly very drawn to each other if you couldn’t keep away from each other all this time. No rush to tell him you love him yet. He’s said this very quickly and it’s ok to need time. You have had a complicated dating life over the last few months and you seem to be one that goes all in.

I fell asleep early and now I’m wide awake.

Hope you're okay TooOldForThis67 😘.

Hope you're alright @TooOldForThis67

TooOld I hope you're ok. You need to relax into it, I have high hopes that you'll be fine (might buy a hat even though I look shite in them ...)

MrDrummer most men of my generation have names like Peter, Andrew and David ... maybe it's just what I'm used to 😂 At one point I was chatting with three different men, all called Paul ....

To be honest once I've got to know and like someone it doesn't really matter what their name is.

leaves big glass of water, a fry up and paracetamol for tooold*

Excellent pissed typing and names. Also hope you are OK

I’ve just got in.

That was fun 😁😁😁😁

@TooOldForThis67 it's probably the pressure. Suddenly you're in a big romance which you reaaaalllllllyyyyy wanted for ages. So you stop and go, shit! It happened to me after my marriage broke up. Didn't work out for other reasons but it was someone

Not sure how that happened!!!

It was someone I'd been in love with for years - so I thought- and when it eventually turned into something ( a year after my marriage ended) I was like, oh. Is that it???

@MrDrummer loving "Women who talk too much"

I'm still bashed up. Mr U stayed last night and we had rubbish sex which confused us. Then this morning he said he's frightened of hurting me and I admitted I'm not the least bit horny I'm so uncomfortable. We really do seem to be proper BF/GF. Talking about going away together in the summer. Met one of his friends.

I so wish I could share his name. It's hilarious. Very biblical. So much that everyone questions it when I tell them. And no it's not Jesus and he's not Spanish. I can't deal with Daves. Sorry if anyone's a Dave. There were so many at school and I had a shit BF in my 20s. @MrDrummer you have my dad's name. My exes gf has my daughters name. It's confusing. So much is possibly outing in this post!

PS thanks for prick advisor whoever recommended it

@Peanuthedz they've not accepted my request yet. Have they for you?

Yes but I joined the London one. I might leave already tbh. It's a bit grim. And depressing. And I am negative enough about men as it is. Sadly.

Is this Prick Advisor thing even practical? Pretty sure there are more douchebags out there than can be practically be tracked on a FB group? Kinda imagine it is a collection of anecdotal misery that just serves to make people even less trusting of the male population, but offers no practical help to avoid the bad-uns.

It's exactly this @MrDrummer

But I think @lifegoes may want to share her recent experience which is no bad thing.

I've been accepted 👍. However it's not really what I expected. I thought it was to warn others of potential pricks. But it's essentially where you go to slag men off apparently 🤷 (who's names aren't included).

Spot on @MrDrummer

@MrDrummer tbh you could say this page is gives people a clear experience of men.

We write here about how we are treated good and bad.

The page with 44k followers isn't just about slating people you can ask if anyone has had any bad experiences with a certain guy before you get involved.

I've been told the guy I was with is on there already so I want to check what has been said. I'm not going to post about him.

Oh @ItsAMiracle2015 is it? I want to see if this guy is on. Are there photos of guys but no names?

I was told it wasn't that bad and that most of it is checking if a guy is ok.

Christ on a bike, imagine if blokes had a Facebook group with pictures of women, where we covertly discussed their behaviour... Where they have no means of defending themselves. Can't imagine that would go down well with the feminists... Or any right-minded person for that matter

@MrDrummer there is!!!

Where?

On Facebook

Are these Facebook groups secretive? I haven't told loads of my friends my dad about the divorce / me dating yet but would like to have a nose. Would anyone know I'd joined?

What's the names of this group? We named the female counter-part.
