Dating thread 173 - Winter is coming - 'cuffing' is optional

[CodLiverOil556]

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

@shitwithsugaron 😂😂

Yes to beards. The G stands for goatee in Mr G but he grew a full beard just for me. He looks amazing. 😍

Fantastic update eyebrows im smiling for you and Mr smile! Lol shitwithsugar 'I'd have a go'
I'm opposite on the beard front, hated exh's and so so glad MrY prefers to be clean shaven and shaves just before he comes to see me looking forward to a weekend in his company, feel the L word on the tip of my tongue..

@shitwithsugaron that's lovely 🥰

I'm going to go against the grain and say noooooo to beards...MrM is clean shaven and looks lovely. That's ace @shitwithsugaron!

what are ur thoughts on guys who want to talk on different apps like kik and hangouts?

I've just joined POF and a few have asked for that but I dont have them as I tend to give out my number.

@crazycatlady20, in my experience which is quite limited, they're married or attached. I didn't speak to anyone on kik

@KermitRulesOK I don’t like beards either, which is hugely hypocritical as I have one. I think it’s because the contrast against pale skin always seems too harsh.

@KermitRulesOK that's what I was thinking.

I like a beard but I think mostly because my exh couldn't grow one 😂

My first kiss was with a stubbly 15yo and I swear it wired my neurons in some way. 😂

Not keen on beards, but like stubble or very short 'beards' - long stubble 😂

Oooh, I like a beard. My last boyfriend was Mr Beard...he was lovely.
I caved and messaged Mr Yorkshire, and he would like to meet again

Updating from Mr Surgeries bed let's just say the date when very very well. I'm joining the smitten bench

Ooooooo!

Half asleep he just rolled over, kissed my back and said he's very smitten with me. I'm too happy to fall asleep at the moment.

Ah @Dancerinthemoonlight what a lovely feeling.

Hi everyone I’ve not been on for a while ! I joined and deleted tinder within a day - ex was on there 😂. And I’ve deleted POF as it was overwhelming! I’d only have my profile visible at weekend but I’d get 50 messages a day and often repeats if I didn’t reply 🤦‍♀️. I couldn’t keep up. I’m still texting the man I matched with when I first joined a few months ago but we’ve not met up 😂. So I’m giving up until the new year. I literally only have a few child free days when I don’t have things arranged with friends / work anyway 🤷🏼‍♀️

Saying hi 👋🏽 and checking in

Ooh I've started a beard debate! Love your post @shitwithsugaron I have to say i like beards and clean shaven. But leaning towards bearded right now and with hair as ex was bald and clean shaven. Current iron on Hinge has some pics with beard and some without. I mean why doesn't he add some with a wig too just to confuse me even more?

Some lovely happy posts tonight. That's what I want but find it hard to believe I'll get there somehow...

Oh and completely off topic, but who ever posted about brake pads for cars, you get a lifetime of free replacements at Halfords, just had mine done And the mechanic was hot and didn't wear a wedding ring but I was in gym gear and looked like shit (he had a beard!)

@ndotto did you ask him what he has currently ? Beard or none ? Some men have a summer and winter look 😂

Who said you can’t please all of the people all of the time ?

hairy haha!

Hi everyone, never posted on here before but always lurk. I'm another trying OLD. Can I ask how common it is when you meet potentials to feel a strong sexual connection but at the same time to realise that the guy is a complete prat? I had this recently. I didn't see him again because he really wasn't very nice, but it was disconcerting to have these strong feeling of desire. I've met loads more dates and never felt that before!
Back to the drawing board....
