Online dating in your 40s - part 3!

[StarlightSparkle]

A new thread, so we can continue discussing the depressing reality of the above!

Nooooo ancient phone!! damned technology hindering the romance!!! 😟

Wishing you big luck!! 🍀🍀💘💘 keep us posted!! 😄

@onemorerose how you feeling about Mr beach now?

I got two messages out of him before he disappeared again 😁

The second disappearing guy came back too and seems chattier. I'm probably writing them off too quickly.

Good luck @Angelofdeath!

I think in general I write people off too quickly tbh. I think it's easier to write people off than take a risk!

I don't think policeman is too bad. They might not have much free time though. I seem to be attracting the covid related unemployed atm.

I've just downloaded Hinge. I don't like that you have to complete answers to questions to be able to like people. I'm shit at answering those questions in an interesting way.

@Shayelle2009 I think I’d give it another shot lol. Re mr work, yes worry about that when the time comes and just enjoy it for now, maybe consider him a friend who is upping your confidence? And someone to have a wee flirt with?

@Angelofdeath policemen definitely have a bad reputation but they can’t all be like that??

@OutingMyself I think you’re like me and when they don’t reply quickly just think that’s the end of it.

Yeah hopefully @onemorerose it might get better with him the next time for you!! Yeah thanks.. think im just having an off day today.. tomorrow will be better .
Hope youre having a nice chat with mr policeman @Angelofdeath!

Aww @Angelofdeath dont lose heart!! He sounds nice! I think boris is making an announcement on the 22nd... maybe you could chat on the phone, see if you get on?

Ah I didn't think of that aspect. Yeah I don't think I could keep messaging for a two month's or however long it's going to be.

Oh thats lovely @Angelofdeath, and hes suggested a call, thats really lovely! I just think.. dont write it off too early just see if you click and go from there?
Aww thanks I do feel brighter today thanks for asking ..do think though that if and when anything more than friends sparked with mr work id have to say that it seemed to me that he was really into our married friend previously and being the ‘make do’ wouldnt feel very great for me.

Guess im thinking too far ahead.. but its come into my head for a reason so im not going to disregard it .

How is @Isitreally777 .. what's been happening? Hope youre ok.

@Angelofdeath yes don't loose heart! I think if I was his his position with the job he does I would be the same. He could possibly get a warning etc if he was found out.
Keep messaging and then least you know if he's still around when the times comes he was genuine. Keep your options open too and chat to other people.
So I had another walk yesterday with mine very nice etc I just gets so boring going for walks feel like a bloody teenager 😂 it's the best we can do in a shit situation. Lockdown is pants for us singles!

This has probably been covered but where are you lovely ladies finding these men? I joined fb dating that's where my walks / coffees have come from xx

Glad you had a good 2nd walk @ivegotthisyeah! At least youve got one to go for a walk with

Ive come off all the apps for a bit. Completely fed up them all 🤷🏼‍♀️

How exciting @Angelofdeath!! Thats so cute!! I love the way things can just happen out the blue when youre not expecting it. Really hope he turns out to he a nice one and it goes somewhere!! 😍 youre brave doing the video call! Did you think he was nice looking?

You're much braver than me with the video calling. It makes me look so old, I don't think I could do it.
