Dating thread 179 - am I doing it right?

[Chochito]

Looked for the new thread but couldn't find it...

Lovely aren’t they men 😂 and maybe people are in to those things and that’s all fine but it’s not the first thing you say 😂

But I’ve also had men say they get loads of messages off women like can I sit on your face etc

Maybe they send hundreds and hope to srike it lucky with one of the sitting women above!

Jane I had a guy (FWB) message me once asking if I wanted him to drink lots of water before meeting 🤢, took me a while to realise what he was on about.

shit your right, I need to stop looking for Mr a Skinny on POF (he is back on there today). I know we were not good together, he’s boring, the sex was rubbish and he had issues over his ex, I have to keep telling myself that.

I will force myself out this weekend to meet Mr parrot for a coffee, I think he’s as bad as me and hasn’t been out for a while, he’s worried that I will think he’s overweight (he knows I go to the gym every day).

@bangheadhere40 I’m sure they copy and paste it as they send so quick after match. This is why I hid my Pof 😩. I like sextimg and rude messages but with someone I know 😂.

@Lovemusic33 thats rank. Yes maybe meet mr parrot he might be a friend if nothing else

Guys I’m worried Mr Fact has blocked me 🙈 we messaged early evening yesterday (nice messages) I sent last message but it didn’t need a reply. Haven’t heard from him all day today. I sent a nice message this morn and it’s still showing as 1 grey tick. Think this means he hasn’t received it? WA is saying he was last online early eve yesterday. Has he bloody blocked me? Whyyyyyyy?

@marlborough, I think if it's still showing when he was last online then you aren't blocked. It sounds like it hasn't been delivered and maybe his phone is off or something!

Grey tick means he hasn't received it yes, it's not hit his phone.

IF blocked:

You can no longer see a contact's last seen or online in the chat window

Ok he might just be busy 🤞 last messages were lovely and arranging our date

Busy or phone issues. Like he’s not charged it or it’s been left somewhere

I said to mr smile I am rubbish at buying clothes and I am, never know what to wear. He says he is going to take me shopping on sunday. I do hope this goes somewhere, he seems lovely.

@Marlboroandmalbec34 can you still see his profile pic. If so you aren't blocked.

Hope he replies soon!

Date tonight! Squaddie from the nearby army base 😂

I'm too tired to get changed so just going to wear what i wore to work 😂

Great leavebefore good luck!

notcool yes I can. It’s now delivered but unread. I’m overthinking. It’s been one date. We will see

I changed my mind I'm changing.

How does brown cord mini skirt, cream long sleeved body, black tights and high ankle boots sound? He's 24, will I look young enough?

@bangheadhere40 I think you need to stop worrying about what everyone else does and do what YOU want to do. Everyone is different re DTD/messaging/ meeting. There is no normal. If you want to DTD do it! (If Mr Smile is up for it) I normally do it on date 3 but that's me. Same as I don't snog on date 3 but others do.

No idea, Leave, today to uni I wore a burnt orange cord mini skirt, green tights, white high top all-stars, a green t-shirt and an orange hoodie. I should probably bow out of fashion advice 😂😂

@LeaveBeforeTheLightsComeOn. Sounds good ! I’d look like a potatoe in a bodysuit 😂

@PerfectPretender I love the sound of your outfit!

I think cord mini skirts was in a memo. I am also wearing one, in dark aubergine, with a turquoise long line sweater and opaque black tights and a stripey scarf with shades of pink from hot pink and lilac through to the same deep aubergine. I looked very put together for a SAHM.

Not sure what to do with myself while waiting for Mr long distance to video call at 8.30. am wondering what he wants. I so hope he's serious because, from this guy, I won't take anything less.

So I had an interesting event at my hobby today. Everyone who does it is middle aged and/or female. But it's a very bonding thing. Anyway there's a guy there who I immediately noticed about 18 months ago and we always chat. He's often there with someone I assumed was his partner and sometimes kids. I always make sure to talk to her more and am very very careful when talking to him. Because he's hot and I am aware of that so being very careful not to give off any signals. Anyway I asked him where his kids go to school and it turns out it's his sister in law. I'm pretty sure he doesn't fancy me but he must have seen my eyes light up when I learned that. He's never seen me in anything apart from joggers and usually no make up hair scraped back. I make no effort whatsoever. God he's so fit. He's 10 years younger than me though. So I'm slightly torn between actually wearing makeup and normal clothes to my hobby, flirting and showing an interest and not. My hobby is my haven. There's very few places to do it. If anything happened between us and it went wrong my haven would be ruined. Aaarghhh
And also it's a distraction from the hobby which feels pure. I don't want to be worrying about will he be there or what shall I wear. But clearly I already am.... I had one of those lightbulb moments when we parted ways when I thought, oh of course, that would make perfect sense. It would work so well. He works away for long periods and shares the thing I love. And lives very close. It has never occurred to me that I might meet someone via my hobby either!

Anyway I'm still off the apps and staying off. It feels good to be off them. And who knows, maybe this is why?
