Dating thread 178 - where we launch into the new year with new hopes

[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

Need to catch up with the thread, but wanted to wish you amazing lot a Happy New Year and all the best for 2020. 🥳 Whatever gets thrown at us, we've always got each other to celebrate and commiserate with xx

I’d say nope ‘shitwith* but I now have a zero tolerance policy going on!

My iron has already sorted a venue, time and dress code for Tuesday’s tea date. Still means nothing until you see the whites of their eyes

Hi cheesecakeaddict I didn't tell him off as we were crammed together in café and people were already very interested in our conversation But I must have shown a bit of shock because he tried to justify it very quickly. The conversation went downhill from there. When we left he asked if he could see me again and that I had his phone number but I waffled about vaguely and left. If he contacts me I will definitely tell him why. He's a nice man and it's a shame he shoots himself in the foot from the get go.

Happy New Years Day from the rainy Dordogne. Am eating leftover spag bol on the sofa and watching telly with the cat I'm not going to see anyone for a bit as having eye op (excuse the pun) and can't wear any make up for a couple of weeks - Estee Lauder will probably go under …..

shit New Years resolution “don’t take any crap from anyone” 🤣, tell him it’s his loss and you won’t be rearranging. Surely a hang over is a poor excuse?

I didn’t get many new year texts, spent last night struggling to stay awake after a stressful day. I’m hoping there will be somewhere meat on POF for the new year (I can only hope).

My second date today, will see how it goes.

I'm on POF... Most of them I've thrown back as they are undersized or they are floaters..

@shitwithsugaron just say my time is precious and I'm not going to waste it on someone who decides the might still have a sore head tonight. His loss next

Shit I would say exactly that to him!

I'm a little worried todays date is too intense like menoras

What is he saying Bang

We've had 1date and hes saying he wants to delete tinder now, saying how much he likes me etc, just being really full on.

Not sure if he is just sweet or over bearing. I'm not deleting tinder for someone I have met once!

@bangheadhere40 he could also be a bit naïve? Or just can't do multi dating? But I wouldn't like anyone suggesting I should delete apps. If he wants to, then fine. Bit you do your thing and he can do his.

Hmm.. He may think its what you want to hear Bang?

Bang that is how this started for me. Exact same

@shitwithsugaron
That’s just rude of him. RUDE

And that’s not what he said! He said sore head!

@Sunshineandflipflops Well done, does this mean a trip to Ikea? We risked the balcony (didn’t want to miss the fireworks), don’t think we were caught

@BatshitCrazyWoman You’ll be fine, please don’t think it’s a you v his previous partner, it really won’t be like that.

That is a bit intense, I can see someone really really liking some after a first meet, but you generally keep that to yourself so you don’t come across as a bit weird.

MrNN stayed over for the last two nights, horrible when he has to leave ☹️
