Dating thread 166: Who dates wins

999 replies

Ginmel · 04/08/2019 21:03

  1. The first rule about the dating thread is 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. 12. Any relationship you have that could get ruined by having a conversation about your feelings, standards and/or expectations wasn't really stable enough to begin with

We’re about to go on our holiday, I don’t know what the 4g situation will be, so if I don’t get on I hope everyone had a really good week.

Have a great holiday @SimonJT. The first thing I did when we arrived here was pay for 2 weeks WiFi 😂

Enjoy your holiday @simonjt and don't miss Mr NN us too much

Had a potential of another iron on fab yesterday who wrote me a nice intro message. I replied this morning saying I would come back to him after work as I wanted to reply properly. He checked my profile 8 times in less than 7 hours today. Just too much. I asked him why he did it but he didn't reply so I have deleted his messages. Instinct said he'd be obsessive and not just amazed by my profile 🤣

Oh he just replied saying every time he clicked on message (single one just this morning) it opened my profile. Hmm it was a short message. Think he was checking to see if I was online

Marlboroandmalbec34 · 05/08/2019 17:40

Thanks ok. It was the controlling wife but I think and I suppose I must have been to a lot of concerts 😂 I am so wary of everyone I think!

Enjoy the hols simon

Hi fmfl

Marlboroandmalbec34 · 05/08/2019 17:42

Oh ffs! Sorry, stupid foreign WiFi 😂

Magi84 · 05/08/2019 19:00

Sunshine don't think it is the wifi. It is happening in lots of mumsnet threads today. Think they've got a problem😂

Feeling a little flat this evening. MrSAS isnt the most communicative, particularly by text. I've been away for just over a week (will be 2 but the time I get home).
He went for a blood test just before I went away as he was feeling tired quite a lot and I asked him if any news tonight and he said yes, all fine and testosterone levels fine so maybe he needs to get more sleep.

He starts work early 4 days a week and I know he doesn't go to bed all that early so I said "yes, apart from on xxx nights" (when he usually comes over to me and leaves early hours of the morning because he usually doesn't work the next day.

He said that he's going to be working
Some of those days over the next few weeks so I said that's ok as I work too so maybe we just finish the night a little earlier and he said "yes but you don't start work at xxx o clock".

That has pissed me off now. I still have to leave the house at 7.30am on next to no sleep but I don't mind because I love seeing him. It just sounded like he doesn't think it's worth seeing me now on that evening if we have to end the evening earlier.

I just said "no, I don't" (to not having to start work as early as him) as I wanted to tell him to stick it then if I wasn't worth it because between his child and my children we don't exactly have a lot of opportunity to see each other.

Sorry...long rant but it's my birthday tomorrow and that has properly pissed me off.

Oops sorry sunshine your post hadnt loaded and I was place marking, now I look like a right cow Blush

I hope the messages with Mr SAS were just as mixed up and that actually he just wants to shag you senseless and then slep lots too!

Sunshineandflipflops · 05/08/2019 20:15

😂

Ant330 · 05/08/2019 20:19

Hopefully this doesn't get duplicated 5 or 6 times...
Sunshine I wouldn't read too much into it, you know how texts can be misconstrued, and as you said he's knackered so maybe a bit on edge.
I would just say that you can both talk about it when you get home and work out the best way to spend time together without both of you being too tired.

Lillyrose19 · 05/08/2019 20:35

@Sunshineandflipflops I agree with @Ant330 . You've been away from each other, you're missing him like mad, you're probably reading more into it because that that. Don't worry- he wants to see you, just think of that first night back with him 😉. I'm sure as soon as he claps eyes on you he will forgo extra sleep to be with you! Enjoy the rest of your holiday, don't be wishing it away. Big happy birthday wishes 🥳🥳 to you for tomorrow xx
