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!

*you're

Notcoolmum · 27/04/2019 14:16

Wow lifegoes your guy really was a piece of work. And that’s just the women who are on that group. There will be others.

Glad you are good tooold and feeling loved up.

Having a break from clearing out DDs room. It’s a long and boring job!

MrDrummer · 27/04/2019 14:58

@notcoolmum Have you found lifegoes' bloke on this fb group?

LilyRose88 · 27/04/2019 15:01

Stealthninja you just made me laugh out loud in Costa. I'm sitting here with a slight hangover trying to decide if I can be bothered to go into Zara. Which is very unusual as I love going into Zara normally.

I have acquired two new irons today. Mr Taxi who lives 40 minutes drive away but assures me that he is happy to do all the driving, and Mr Almost Local who is quite cute but 14 years younger than me. Mind you I lose irons faster than I gain them so I will probably have been ghosted by tonight. (My autocorrect just changed ghosted to fisted - no idea why as it's not something I do or talk about Grin.

MrDrummer · 27/04/2019 15:04

My autocorrect just changed ghosted to fisted

Why, why, why did you have to spot that? It would have been so funny!!! Grin

LilyRose88 · 27/04/2019 16:06

Mr Drummer it would have been hilarious but I would never have lived it down. I would be forever known as Lily who got fisted 😂

MrDrummer · 27/04/2019 16:09

LilyFisted88 we can just pretend it happened

MrDrummer · 27/04/2019 16:15

You will get some peace and quiet from me tonight, as I am off for dinner, avengers endgame then sleepover with FWB whom I am going to call Miss Lingua. I need to pick up dogs meds, go to the store, get showered, do some online banking and get to nandos in the next 1:20 1:15 minutes. It's all quite overwhelming, so I am sat here procrastinating because that seems easier than dealing with it.

ponyprincess · 27/04/2019 16:18

Just back and about to catch up on the fast moving thread!

Good luck to all those dates tonight-I am off to dinner with Mr M later. Had fun with fwb 1 last night so, so far a good weekend!

JeSuisPrest · 27/04/2019 16:47

Good luck to all with dates tonight.

@Sidge Update please???!! Who, what, where and when will do for starters...

Date number 4 with MrCornish tonight. We're going out for a pub dinner and then I will be jumping his bones before he suggests a 4 hr Game of Thrones marathon...

LilyRose88 · 27/04/2019 16:58

MrDrummer and all the others with dates tonight - hope you have a great time. I'm at home again with Netflix but will only have one glass of wine as I've felt a bit queasy all day after nearly polishing off a whole bottle last night.

I managed to get to Zara though and now have a lovely outfit for the date that I don't have Smile.

Chatting to a few new irons but one of them has such bad spelling and grammar that it has put me right off. He wants to get to no me Grin

lifegoes · 27/04/2019 17:15

Urghhh you want I hate when something ends!

The texting, the attention, the having someone make you smile when your phone goes off.

😫😫😫😫😫

lifegoes · 27/04/2019 17:15

*you know what I hate.

putastrawunderbaby · 27/04/2019 17:55

Good luck to all on dates tonight!
tooold lovely hearing you so loved up!
ponyprincess any news from your meet with a couple? I had a social today with mine and it seems we're all happy.....bit nervous truth be told
Had a date today with Mr Cake - very sweet, very interesting, no chemistry whatsoever.
Two irons: Mr Biker (on Fab but seems to be after a relationship.....I have high hopes for this one so please god he's sane up for meeting soon) and Mr Business who seems normal. Normal is good enough at the moment.

supercali77 · 27/04/2019 18:00

I ended things but am sat here sobbing. It was the right choice. But I'm still upset that what I thought might be something amazing had to end. The very idea of swiping in future fills me with cold dread. What's the opposite of a smitten bench. Can we have a kitten bench? That might take the edge off

supercali77 · 27/04/2019 18:05

@lifegoes yep. It's shit

LilyRose88 · 27/04/2019 18:05

supercali so sorry to hear that you are sad. I can't remember why you felt it right to end things but have some hugs from me. There is a bench for folk who are sad but I've forgotten the name of it. I think nachos were involved for some reason. We can call it the kitten bench. FlowersCakeGinWine

supercali77 · 27/04/2019 18:09

@LilyRose88 ah thanks love. Kittens and nachos plus a healthy dose of vino required. Taking a seat. X

lifegoes · 27/04/2019 18:12

Yep I'll be on that Bench @supercali77 I'm swiping but it's all left. Nothing just seems the same.

For the record, you did the absolute right thing. It was more lows than highs, don't forget that.

ItsAMiracle2015 · 27/04/2019 18:14

Oh my father is the narcissist in my life. And my mother's mother hence her attraction to my father. 🤷. On that note, ex was supposed to have little man tonight and he's ignoring my calls. 3rd weekend in a row I've had to cancel my girls night out. Going to have no friends at this rate 😩.

supercali77 · 27/04/2019 18:30

@lifegoes cheers pal. 🍷🍷. Here's to a future with less fuckwittery

LooUpdate · 27/04/2019 19:15

I got accepted to Prick Advisor but it makes no sense. Anyone else been accepted?

LooUpdate · 27/04/2019 19:17

ItsAMiracle2015 how old is little man? I've got a toddler son and it's bloody hard work.

lifegoes · 27/04/2019 19:25

Oh @LooUpdate just been accepted. That's not the group I was looking for. AT ALL
