Dating thread 179 - am I doing it right?

[Chochito]

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

Average size in UK is 16 though! I'm sure you look great. Feeling uncomfortable after Christmas is definitely a thing, though. I need to just move around more, that always helps.

Middle aged... pah! Wear what you want to. I share clothes with my teenaged daughter. Maybe I look ridiculous... But. Pah.

Catching up with lots of updates - great to see so many people going on dates and enjoying them!

I've just had a couple of nice women match me on Bumble - do think it's good or bad if a guy replies back to you quickly? I want to appear interested, but not desperately keen!

Thecatwiththehat, I don't judge anyone for replying too quickly, I like it! I do judge people who take ages to respond or who can't engage in conversation. Life is way too short!

@TheCatWithTheHat
I don't think twice if I receive a quick reply, or immediate reply really.
As Tipsy said, I do judge people who take ages to reply, that can be frustrating.

@cat definitely reply quickly to keep conversation going

Quick update- going really well actually. He's better than I expected- nice, friendly. And fit

✔️✔️✔️ good news!

@TheCatWithTheHat if you are online when they message then reply. Or reply next time you log on

@LeaveBeforeTheLightsComeOn yeah !!

Thanks all! I always like to reply back if I'm online, but was a bit worried it might be making me look a bit keen. I've replied back pretty quickly this evening, however they are all obviously much busier than me as I've yet to hear back from anyone

@unambiguousbeard I would say go for it with your offline guy that doesn't have to mean marching up to him and asking him out it could just mean continuing to talk to him and being open to seeing where it might lead

I don’t think it looks too keen especially in the evenings , what does maybe look too keen is replying at all times regardless of when it is

Oooh yeah I've got to go for the car park snog haven't I! What if he doesn't want to? Tbf how do I manage it, I'm hoping he gives me a lift home 😂

We're all on tenterhooks @LeaveBeforeTheLightsComeOn

No, don't let him know where you live, either.

a reply can never be too quick lol.

does anyone know about facebook active status, the green dot, is it generally accurate? or will it show online if the app is open in the background?

No car park snog 🙁😂

Ah well. I didn't get a vibe that he was massively into me tbf. But then I know he's only looking for casual so it's hard to tell I guess.

We had a really nice evening though and the conversation was great, he was my type of being quietly confident. So if nothing comes from it I'm just glad to have been on a date where I enjoyed myself!

I had a lovely first date! Didn't fancy him at first but he really grew on me, he was great company with great chat but now I do not know if he likes me 🤷🏻‍♀️
We are messaging, should I just ask him for a second date??

@dancemom. You can say nice to meet you or something?

@LeaveBeforeTheLightsComeOn always nice to have a good date even if nothing comes of it
