Dating thread 179 - am I doing it right?

[Chochito]

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

We have done that Jane and are deep in a slagging match about some nonsense 😆

But neither of us have mentioned another date yet

I may just leave it and see ...

Or say I’d win this argument in person ;-£

@Jane1978xx I've had some shocking dates tbf, the last one I went on was awful so was nice to have a good one

Oooh he just sent a really nice message saying he had a great evening and would love to see me again ☺️

Two good first dates tonight then! And with @shitwithsugar and @marlbs that makes 4. Let's hope this is the current thread wave..

Lovely updates!!

@unambiguousbeard I hope so too!

I didn't even give this one a name! I'd almost forgotten we'd said about a drink til he messaged me today. Ok let's call him... Mr Spanners.

Supposedly got a date with Mr Leather on Friday.

Mr Cheekbones was messaging again earlier but didn't confirm about a date so I'm presuming not happening. He is honestly too pretty, I'd have felt minging next to him.

I was chatting to a much younger guy online one time who was absolutely gorgeous and really keen to take me out but I just couldn't go through with meeting in person so I blew him off so silly he must have fancied me or he wouldn't have been so keen to meet, I don't think men care about age if they fancy you they fancy you end of. Highly unlikely to lead to anything long term though but saying that that can also be said of most of these dates I go on with these fifty something year olds too!

@shitwithsugaron I wouldn't force it, but maybe suggest meeting up after he's finished with his DC.

@shitwithsugaron yeh I'd mention it. He won't invite himself over to yours so the ball is in your court here I think. Good luck!

I'm feeling a bit deflated...remember Mr Straight with the huge issues. He messaged me last night obviously very upset with stuff in his life. I tried to help a bit and then I mentioned I had been on dates etc.

He said he had finally got around to wanting to meet me, ( like it's all about him). I said he had had over 2 months and it felt like he never wanted to as no one is that busy.

He then said he's really upset about it and he is going to block me as he can't trust himself not to message, and he fucking blocked me.

He's the one who got in touch with me! And who I've liked for 2 months up until recently who hasn't found the time to meet me.

Why does it still hurt getting blocked?

I think it's because he blocked me, and I was only trying to help him last night as he was upset. When he said he had decided though it was time, what a selfish prick...no regard to me. Not that I would now anyway.

Definitely dodged a weirdo it sounds like. Though that doesn't stop you from feeling upset I know.

@shit, mention it and see what he says....if he isn't keen don't ask again.

@shitwithsugaron I'd have your date on sat and then definitely mention it! Go for it, if you like him and are comfortable with him coming over then do it.

@bangheadhere40 he sounds a pain tbh, you can do better

@shit, we will both be on dates on Saturday then, and trying not to be sex pests or pushy 😁

@bangheadhere40. Well rid of him. I think sometimes we are upset due to the amount of unrewarded effort we put in rather than actually upset about the person. Remember mr friday of the months of messaging 🥱🥱 when I met him I wasn’t that keen but I was still annoyed when he didn’t want to meet again but it was more of a what a waste of time rather than me wanting him

Thanks, I think it's all the effort I put in, even trying to help him with these problems. Just when I stand up for myself he wants to meet me, is upset I've been on dates, says he wants to meet me then blocks me!

Yes it's the effort more than anything

Me Fact had broken his phone! He searched and found me on social media and sent me a lovely apologetic message that he had been out of contact. Yay. Date still on

Glad there are so many good dates happening on thread. Woooohoooo

bangshead Mr Straight is an absolute dick. Forget all about him

Happy New year / decade one and all.

I was on here in September / October last year, but had to take a break due to work and family commitments...

During my time away, I decided I'm not really looking for a serious relationship atm - I'm just too fkd up from my marriage right now.

I'm still on most of the on-line dating apps, as well as Fab and SDC, but make it clear to any matches what I'm looking for, so as not to mislead anyone.

I hope I'm allowed to come back...
