Dating thread 169: You know that tingly feeling you get when you like someone? That's common sense leaving your body...

[JeSuisPrest]

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 13. The things you choose to ignore/tolerate now are the reasons you will break up in the future

Thread 169 open for business, roll up, roll up...

Just as good

feats of endurance from spermatozoa.

I'd like to give mr sg a manly pat on the back. That a boy...

@WooMaWang what a lovely story you have though! It certainly inspires me joking aside 👶

Welcome unimpressed any chance you can post a link to your thread - I am intrigued! Any yay for possible woo and mr sg baby!

I know you're not supposed to tell anybody you're dating about the thread, but I'd love MrSG to see the last page and a bit 😂

Poor MrSG. He does not want to see this. Although he’d probably appreciate a manly back pat.

I’m glad to provide amusement (and some kind of inspiration if we, and I include myself in this, can stop laughing at the ridiculousness of it all). 😁

I did say it was potentially a thread derailer.

@woo you and Mr sg are a old dating success so all joking aside, it's lovely to read for want of a better way to describe things x

Woo that is so lovely, and maybe we will all be able to bring +1s to the baby naming/christening/celebration of heroic efforts of SGsupersperm against the odds celebration??

Baby naming? Wow I missed something there. Am back on Tinder.

hope the morning sickness isn't too bad woo. Want some ginger?

You’re going to be so disappointed when I report the arrival of a period @Ginmel.

Is there gonna be a thread baby!? 👶

I had a 1st date last night with mr french and it was nice, hes super tall and attractive and quietly funny. first guy in a long time I havent had to second guess. Everything about him checks out. We kissed like teenagers in the bar. In the alley outside the bar. Infront of the train station. The thing is, I know it's only one date but I sense hes looking for a relationship broadly speaking and .... turns out. I'm not.

I have 2 other irons. Mr California and mr Spain. Apparently I'm the dating equivalent of the G8

Awww Woo - new house, new baby, isn't that how it goes .....

Still feeling shitty so am in bed Woke up to a lovely WhatsApp from Mr BC (who's in the US) telling me all the things he loves about me 😍 I have to pinch myself that I've met this amazing man.

unimpressor please link to your thread 😄

Ant thanks - I'll PM you later

In desperation I went in search of unimpressors thread....I'm not sure if she'll be coming back to this thread? so its here

OMG I worked all night practically and am so tired, and on deadlines, and yet here I am looking for @UnimpressorOfCocks thread! I need to focus!!!

Also waiting to see if I need to buy will ready for a Woo baby. Though I can't knit so would be an empty gesture

I shall try to catch up later... Am just renaming Mr Sweet as Mr Three now. As it is less emotive, it's not like I know him. He could be an AI text bot given as have never actually spoken to him

Good luck shitwith on your first day at college 🤗

Wool not will. Sigh!

That's lovely @BatshitCrazyWoman

Look after yourself @woo

Sorry everyone for not getting back sooner - I went to bed! I'm an early to bed type person (plus my kids exhaust me!). Yes, that's my thread - it made the Daily Star!

@WhatWHyWhen just read your post about your previous date. I'm appalled and angry in equal measure on your behalf. The rapist excusing, woman hating misogynistic bastard! - why are there so many arseholes out there? Jeez.

Can I ask why people are using the word 'irons'?

Good luck Woo!

shitwithsugaron - hope you have a great day at college - being in education is great - make the most of it!

ps I thought about going back to uni to do (another degree) when I turned up for the open day I thought, well this isn't so bad, there are several other women here my age....then I realised they were all the mums of the potential students.....

Batshit - that's lovely!

Good luck at college shit

shit good luck at college.
Bats hope you're feeling a bit better soon!

Good luck @shitwithsugaron. I think it’s normal to be nervous before your first day at college.

Sometimes my students are visibly nervous when we first meet them in induction week. But they tend to calm down pretty quickly.

You’d be surprised how many mature students there often are in each class @UnimpressorOfCocks. I really like teaching mature students; they tend to have more life experience to draw upon and a clearer idea about what they want out of university.
