Dating thread 171: Turning over new leaves as we head into autumn

[saltysally]

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. Know your worth.
8. If it's not fun, stop.
9. Loo update is mandatory.

10. No dating the thread. 11. Treat others as you'd like to be treated 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

Out of context but NEVER FADE AWAY

YOU SHINE BRIGHT LIKE THE DIAMOND YOU ARE

I had coffee what can I say

😂

SBD at 5' 9" you are tall - 5' 3" is the UK average height for a woman!

I'm 5'8 and I tower over most of my female friends.

IS IT? Ok I'll tall. I'll take that

I've got to wear heels with this dress, dammit I'll be taller than him

@DustMyselfOff Does william have a brother

@FMFL one day at a time pal

So, date tomorrow with Mr Animator. I'm so done with dating that I talk like i'm a little guttersnipe with him. Not sexy chat just....'gave all my fucks away the last 2 months' chat. My politeness has all gone. He seems to love it. Hmmmm.

star sign !? @eyebrowsofinstagram why not state your height preferences on your Tinder profile and then it won't be awkward asking ? Loads of women do this with 'oh I like to wear heels, so need a tall bloke' etc.

@supercali77 I’m feeling a lot better at the moment, thank you.I have a date lined up for Sunday...but the guy isn’t too chatty so I’m not quite sure if it will happen. I also have had some nice chats with Mr Tennis, who I friend zoned when meeting Mr B...thinking it may be good to at least meet with him. Get a few more dates under my belt! Good luck with Mr Animator!

@FMFL Good stuff! Yeah, I found meeting a variety of people (though a few were asshats...was good to see...Mr Unavailable ain't the only interesting/sexy man on the planet

Bloody hell. Is everyone in this thread really tall?! Apart from me!!

Seems like some good relationships forming for some of you on the thread.

I think I'm reaching a crunch point with Mr B. He has spent much of this week at mine helping me a tricky (for me) diy job even though he's not particularly handy. We've had a good time and worked well together. But his red flags could provide bunting for my house. As much as I enjoy his company I don't think he's an option for a life partner. And if I want to meet my 'William' I need to make myself available to do so...

5'10.5, meeting my 6ft iron on Saturday

I'm only 5"4. Mr Cath Fach is 5"9 or so, Mr Hendricks is 6"2.

Mr Cath Fach often says we fit nice together in bed 😂

I'm also 5'4"
And have jusr discovered that the amount of weight lost since about the end of august when all this kicked off is 10kg. Fuck me. No wonder my clothes are falling off. And not in a good way

I love how 'William' is becoming a shorthand. Seems i have a knack for catchphrases... think i prefer william to weeping and wanking though!

I'm 5 ' 3.5". Mr BC is nearly a foot taller than me and we 'fit' really nicely.

Batshit like others have said on here don't really matter when laying down 😉

Mr Cath Fach is on his lads weekend away 🙄 hmm...

like others have said on here don't really matter when laying down
Really?!

I’m six foot, which is tall for an Asian, MrNN must be around 5’10” as he is a little smaller than me, but looks like he would be smaller than he is as he has a very slight build, it wouldn’t matter if he was shorter.

I think you can have different definitions of 'fit'. Both MrSG and I are 5'6. I think he's exactly the perfect height. 😂 It is very convenient not to have to stretch up to kiss him.

Fuck fuck fuck I'm horny.

Being horny and suddenly single is SHIT. No matter what his other failings stbx and I had a bloody decent sex life. Lucky he's not here or I'd bloody do it anyway. Which would be stupid. Hence it's lucky.

Hey gang. Haven’t read the thread for a few days sorry just wanted to let you know I’m DIVORCED. Yay!!

Still loads of shit to deal with as my EX is taking me back to court for more contact and to tribunal as he doesn’t want to pay maintenance. Wanker!!!

Anyhow still no irons for me and zero time as I am self repping in court and travelling for work.

I’m 5.9

SimonJT well that's just what people say 😂 I like guys to be a bit taller. Mr Cath Fach is probably perfect height tbh. Can wear heels and not be taller. Good for when not just laying down...

Dust I'm horny too, this is the worst thing about being single. I know we aren't together but I'm really hoping he behaves on this weekend....

Fab news @Marlboroandmalbec34 👍👍

@Marlboroandmalbec34 great news! 🥳

I’m 5’1” and I like a tall man...

Has anyone had the experience of chatting to a guy, all going well, then he asks for your number or to meet and you suddenly think: No, I’m not into this? And get cold feet?
I’ve done it with a few recently what’s wrong with me?

Khaleesi I'm like this. Especially recently, half the time I just cba. Or some tiny little thing puts me off.

Every time I've ignored that feeling they've turned out a bit weird in one way or another.

Congrats @marlbs
