The Rules: 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 14. OLD can get very time consuming. Keep doing other activities you enjoy.

Initials are allowed (Mr S) when you are an item.

Ah, sorry to hear that @Ant330 especially as she was trying to engage in discussion after you had decided to end things and kind of persuade you to change your mind. I think having a break is a good idea until you are feeling ready to move on.

Oh shit @shitwithsugaron! I'm really glad you are ok(ish) and I hope there is no operations required and you can go home tomorrow. Mr List sounds brilliant 😊

@shitwithsugaron hope you get home soon x

Notcoolmum · 24/02/2020 20:40

Wow @shitwithsugaron that sounds so scary. Was it the bleed that caused the fall or the other way around. Glad to hear you are being well looked after. Sending you healing thoughts.

CodLiverOil556 · 24/02/2020 20:41

Bloody hell @shitwithsugaron hope you're ok! Mr List sounds ace and an impromptu parents meeting? These things don't always go to plan...MrM met my DD after he almost lopped his finger off at work and called me to take him to hospital and she was in the car! Introduced him as a friend who needs to see a dr and she now asks him every time how his pinky is. Get well soon ThanksCakeGin

@shitwithsugaron glad you are ok!

So I was contacted by someone on old and we are chatting but I'm v. Keen on my current iron. I dont know if i should pursue both and see what happens or put all my eggs in one basket? I'm not sure I'm cut out for dating multiple guys. This is tough.

Jane1978xx · 24/02/2020 21:31

@dazedandconfused how many times have you seen your current one ?

Dancerinthemoonlight · 24/02/2020 21:41

Thinking of re-naming Mr White to Me Runner. All he wants to talk about is running. Mr Army expected me to arrange everything we are going to be doing on Wednesday and sent me a mind blown emoji when I suggested he should plan it. Not holding out any hope that any dates I have planned this week will actually happen

UtterSocks · 24/02/2020 21:47

Oh no, @shitwithsugaron I hope you recover soon and get to the bottom of what caused this. Sounds scary but also sounds like you have a gem of a bloke there xxx Sending you Flowers

Sunshineandflipflops · 24/02/2020 21:50

@Dancerinthemoonlight There is nothing more dull than a running bore...and I am a runner!

Dazedandconfused10 · 24/02/2020 22:13

@Jane1978xx 3 times so far in 2 weeks

Jane1978xx · 24/02/2020 22:20

@dazedandconfused10 I’m not sure if depends on how much you like them if you should meet the 2nd person

Dazedandconfused10 · 24/02/2020 22:24

I think I shall play it by ear and see what happens I guess. Like, how long do you date someone before you discuss being exclusive? I'm so bloody clueless.

bangheadhere40 · 24/02/2020 22:32

@dazed I would meet the second I think. No idea about exclusivity, I just assume it is really after a few dates 🤷‍♀️

bangheadhere40 · 24/02/2020 22:33

If I was into the original iron though probably wouldn't, depends how you feel about the 1st one.

OP posts:
bangheadhere40 · 24/02/2020 22:34

@shit Mr List does sound like a lovely one I agree.

HairyArsedMan · 24/02/2020 22:40

This is probably the wrong time to ask if anyone saw the Panorama programme on Mo Farah Grin so instead I will wish @shitwithsugaron an uncomplicated and swift recovery Flowers

TigerDater · 24/02/2020 22:42

Get well soon shitwith, sounds like a sleepwalking episode that went awry with a fall and a bleed 💐

Ant330 · 24/02/2020 23:25

Wishing you a speedy recovery and return home @shitwithsugaron sounds very scary!
