Dating thread 179 - am I doing it right?

[Chochito]

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

@Marlboroandmalbec34 great news! He did actually lose his phone! happy for you

@shitwithsugaron I would also see how date #2 goes and then mention it if you feel it right.

@bangheadhere40 What a dick. I guess this is a prime example of not over investing too much time or effort before you have met.

@shit true! So easy at first though, I hope anyone new reading this realises to meet asap! :-)

Cross post!

Hi @AverageGuy . Peanut hedz as was here. Always good to have a bit of sensible male input. I'm off the apps but can't quite manage to undate the thread 😁

@shitwithsugaron I do feel like a right dick now 😂😂 strung along for 2 months 🤦‍♀️

Hey averageguy 👋

@jane me too, exactly the same, you live and learn!

Hi Average (how rude does that sound- am sure you're not average!).

Marl he really did lose his phone! Yay!

shit I'd ask him (am aware I'm slightly ... forward in this area though 😂)

bang does sound like you dodged a bullet - how dare he be annoyed you weren't just sitting waiting for him!

In other news I ordered three dresses from the Warehouse sale last night ....

Thanks all.

Can I just say I'm a little sad to see so many of you still here? I'd have hoped by now you would all have been partnered off...

I think Bats is hooked on the thread... for your situation though.. My mum is in a care home with Dementia - took my two adult DC to visit her at Xmas, and she didn't recognise them...

@unambiguousbeard - sensible? me? I think you have me confused with an adult...

Small update - I was mental crazy busy for a couple of months no time to wank, never mind date, and then the whole xmas / new year thing, so haven't been back on the apps for long.

I may have a date with a Miss Barber next week - awaiting confirmation from her.

Thanks to CassettesareCool, I started Salsa dancing, in an effort to meat people IRL, and have now got the bug... Unfortunately, all the women I fancy are married..

Oh, and I've grown a beard...

Nothing else to report..

@shit hopefully not for much longer though ;-)

@shitwithsugaron Sorry hon.. It's crap, isn't it?

Hey @AverageGuy, good to 'see' you.

I am also coupled up with Mr Ad (almost 5 months now) but far to invested in everyone else's love lives to leave!

*too, FFS

Well I'm still here because I get rather neurotic at times and need reassurance. Plus I like everyone too much. I still feel very new at all this anyway.

Mr G is back in the country next week (for work)! I feel rather spoiled, I barely got the chance to miss him, hah. He wants to go do touristy stuff before he starts work on the Monday, so he's flying in a day early so we can spend the weekend together. I try not to get overwhelmed at his level of commitment - he's not being pushy in the slightest, he's just "all in" and I've never had anyone make such an effort to be with me. It's lovely but also scary, if that make sense.

Oh Perfect that's lovely 😍

Hey there averageguy it’s cassettesarecool here! I’m glad you’ve got the salsa bug, I’m sure it’s only a matter of time before a fanciable single lady turns up. And sorry about your mum - I’ve been there, will probably go there again, it’s painful in so many ways.

I'm having a wobble for no real reason. I think I'm trying to look for issues that don't exist. Why do I do it to myself. Of course my iron isn't perfect, no one is. But no real red flags. He's quite avoidant emotionally, but I'm not looking for LTR or commitment so that's fine. I have friends for IRL emotional support. We always have fun, like the same stuff, sex keeps getting better each time (and we do it a lot when we are together ). So why am I doubting things.

Details too outing, but if anyone wants to give me a handhold or help me pick through things, I'd love a DM.

I'm so hungover from last nights date 🙈
3 wines is clearly one too many for me, I'm a lightweight these days!
Still I had a fun evening so I'll take the hangover 😆

Just trying to catch up on my lunchbreak...

@dancemom I had 3 g&t's last night, I don't drink more than that when there's work the next day 😂 I'm feeling good but I had a cup of tea when I got home and stuffed my face with biscuits.

I hope I see him again. Mr Cheekbones has messaged again but whether we will arrange a date remains doubtful imo...

Average guy - I'll fucking date you. I love salsa dancing but can never find anyone to go with.

I have a long update but I'll do it on the PC not the phone. Hate typing on this bloody thing

Updating for 2020. Firmly on the 'coupled up bench' here. MrDr and I are 3 months in and quite loved up. We are making plans for holidays and trips away for this year etc. He still hasn't met my adult DCs yet as we can't seem to pin down a mutually agreeable date between us all, but I'm hoping this will happen very soon.

We've both met each other's friends and reports from both sides are extremely positive. His friends are so happy he has finally (seemingly) met his match! My friends like him too! We talk pretty much every day and it is very natural. He makes me laugh, a lot!

It really still is early days, but I do think I have a keeper...never thought I would say that! I'll still pop on this thread from time to time as I like to keep up with everyone else's progress. I do wish you all the best. We met in total random circumstances and in hindsight, there were so many factors that could have been in place for us to not have met...we keep laughing the odds of us meeting! So for some of you not doing OLD (I didn't), don't give up hope.
