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

  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

My worry @SBD1 is a lot screams warning signs for me. It could be the way I read your posts. But a lot doesn't seem to add up for me! I do agree with a few other posters on that. But I will always say, it's difficult to pass any judgement as we don't know him and can only go from what you say.

@onlymebutdifferent and I thought we were getting on so well Flowers Enjoy your birthday, treat yourself tomorrow if today has been too upsetting. I think I know what triggered this wave of grief - you will be ok and you will ride it out.

Ginmel · 16/09/2019 17:15

@onlymebutdifferent what happened to mr 40? Don't answer if you don't want to

SBD1 · 16/09/2019 17:17

@lifegoes anything in particular?

Savoretti · 16/09/2019 17:38

@JeSuisPrest MrTri and I are A1 Smile. I feel bad being happy when all around the thread is sadness at the moment though
I really hope things perk up for everyone this week. Looks like we are near the end of this thread too so let’s hope the next one is full of positive and happy dates

onlymebutdifferent · 16/09/2019 18:01

Thanks everyone - feel so bloody sad Mr 40 (Travels) is still very much on the scene. Just feel so melancholy about everything.

Ginmel · 16/09/2019 18:07

Glad he is still around @onlymebutdifferent he looks like a good guy.

I've changed know your worth and then added a little optional note about iron nicknames to keep the thread police happy 😂 And it is fun to hear their nicknames because people can't remember everyone's

Ginmel · 16/09/2019 18:10

Nfi why my hyperlink didn't work

Ginmel · 16/09/2019 18:15

Any last comments on 169?

It was good for @Sunshineandflipflops
@JeSuisPrest continues the love fest with Mr C
@Savoretti continues to get fit with Mr Tri 😉
@someone bought a house with their iron and we won't mention the other fun bit of banter

And I've probably missed people so sorry

Ginmel · 16/09/2019 18:16
