Dating thread 176 - where we get through Christmas with team carpark updates

[NoMoreWeepingAndWanking]

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

I hope shit is ok?

And sunshine,I'm so pleased you have Mr abs around this Christmas,when it's such a tough time for you.
Things always work out in the end.
I'm off to a Christmas market tomorrow with a girlfriend (and now son)and meeting a bloke I met on pof five years ago,who I see platonicaly about once a year. Just wasn't my sort at all,bless him. But great company 😃

I wore stockings a few times in my twenties but much rather thick black tights these days.But I dont really wear skirts or dresses.
I remember in my late teens,wearing a body? Flattened your boobs and done up with poppers under the crotch,christ what was I thinking

unambiguous didn’t get one response!

Yes @shitwithsugaron...how are you doing? Don't be a stranger x

Completed bumble and tinder...

Oh god bodies. They were never long enough. How is Mr Drummer @kerkyra ?

Yeah I'm not convinced re:stockings but might give them a go in the summer....

kerkyra A bodysuit!!! Yes I had them as well. Bugger to do back up when tipsy after going to the loo

I hadn't heard from Mr drummer in ages,then he txt me last weekend! Said he had split with gf and shall we meet up. We did arrange but he had to cancel as the night before our meet,they had got back together and he had had no sleep. I think he still hovers on here so will say no more

@Marlboroandmalbec34. I’ve never had a reply on bumble even messaging 40 matches 😂😂. I have a lot more luck in pof

I haven’t bought any underwear for a while, Mr skinny didn’t really appreciate good underwear so I started wearing my big pants, he was a bit weird and always wanted to do it with the lights off (can’t believe I stayed with him for that long, the sex was rubbish). Mr Mountain has seen me naked a few times and I don’t think he really care what I’m wearing either, I’m not too bothered because I don’t plan on being in a relationship with him.

POF has suddenly gone crazy, after weeks of no irons I suddenly have loads of messages and a couple normal looking men. I haven’t got much time to date until after Christmas/new year but hopefully I can get a few dates in the diary. Let’s hope 2020 is the year.

Yoohoo @mrdrummer! Seasons greetings 😁

Bodies are great for looking sexy but covering the bits you don't feel comfortable with.

Hello! Back again and a name change....but off and on this thread, usually with questions about acceptable behaviour.

After 25 year relationship I seem to have lost rational thought. New iron, Mr Truffle - great first and second date. Then a message asking me why I drop my g's ... saying is sayin etc. I'm 47 this is how I speak!

He asks again and explains English language is so beautiful it should be spoken properly ... I get cross, ignore him, he says sorry, we try again, but now I'm self conscious.

I like him but is this a red flag?

@halfthesun he sounds like a dick!
Mr Ad is proper cockney so never says his g's!

@halfthesun. Yes red flag that just sounds weird and picky

halfthesun tell him to F off 🤣🤣 huge red flag and bloody rude.

Bin him off. This is classic negging behaviour.

Thank you for speedy responses ....

Off to google negging ....

Wow,what a personal thing to say. Sounds like he has insecurities of his own and wants to put you down.
Or he is just joking and realises it isnt funny and doesnt say it again?
Looks like I'm meeting Mr bluenose on wed. Bloody terrifying, I feel like I'm starting from scratch

Yes first dates are terrible i hate it 😂

I've tweaked my lower back/hip somehow. It's not crippling but it hurts to bend.

How fortunate that i have a date with Mr Pilates tomorrow. He who specialises in lower back issues. Even if I don't fancy him perhaps he can fix me!

I deleted my tinder altogether this evening then met someone in the pub! The last time I got asked for my
Number was about 25 years ago. He's my age, attractive, not fat, and has the same social interests which is bloody unusual. Not counting my chickens... but even if nothing happens it was a bloody good result!

@NoMoreWeepingAndWanking no bending over on the date then 😂

@unambiguousbeard sounds good ! I’m not out at all over Xmas as ex h has screwed me over on dates 😩
