Online dating in your 40s - part 3!

[StarlightSparkle]

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

I never thought it was the right behavior to call your ex. There are pages that just need to be turned over. However, the reality around me says that many people still think this is a great idea. When it comes to dating, guys also have their own problems. It's just that normal guys don't talk about it. My colleague sent me a link to the seniorstodate review list. For the first time, I thought that I could register there .. although .. I don't think that I'm old)) Are there any happy dating stories on such sites? I only saw the funny side (or negative) in this chat.

@Isitreally7777 why are you worried you have blown it with Mr Computer Geek? Be careful you are falling back for his words as he's the one that has never met or spoken to you, most likely attached or hiding something. You seem like you are more concerned with what he thinks than how you feel. I do the same at times so I know the feeling.

@Shayelle2009 one of mine does that too, the other likes watching football and rugby.

Happy Monday to you too.

Snowing here too... just grey and bleak out there isnt it!
Thats hilarious @Isitreally7777 kitty likes watching the balls games! My cat also has music preferences! Loves r&b 😂

Must say its nice having a break from the apps. It gets ridiculously addictive doesnt? I can easily waste an hour swiping away. I read an article somewhere its the same kind of addiction as gambling! Ill try and find it..

@Shayelle2009 I think it's the men she likes. It's the men she is all over when they come into the house too. She is a bit of a tart my cat

It is nice having a break from swiping, I just look and think nah I can't be bothered right now.

Hi Ladies, @Angelofdeath - I had my cheerleading pom-poms out reading about Mr Policeman! Shame its gone belly up :(
Nothing to report here, apart from I noticed someone mentioned Facebook dating, so I joined up eeeurrgh! All it shows me is the OAP's who have liked my profile, and 1 man messaged asking me if I was alone!
1 man on tinder who sent a few messages, as soon as he asked what was I looking for, I knew it was a no go! I said something long term, not heard from him since!

Haha @Isitreally7777 ehat a luttle monkey!! Theyre so funny arent they, such good company and nake you laugh a lot!

Whoops pressed post before spell checking

Hey Pineapple! Hows the house? Did you let down poor old Mr Gasman in the end? Urgh yeah as soon as the ‘what are you on here for’ appears, you know its a non starter!

Hi ladies, thought I'd update on my situation so been for a few coffee walk situations and now he's asked me to go to his for dinner. There is only so much walking we can do and it's restricted to daylight hours. So I've taken loads of friend advice and decided to go for tea. Won't be drinking as I'm driving and will give my friends his address and my location and have a code word ready. He does seem really nice though, and has been texting loads etc I have also laid down that he's after one think he's got the wrong girl so he knows where I am with that. I'll keep you posted x

@pineappleonpizzaornot give fb dating a chance at least a week to sift out the weirdos and OAPS it was exactly the same for me x

@Shayelle2009 one is curled up on the chair next to me as I work, her sister is stuffing her face. They've been my lockdown companions. Such amazing animals.

@Angelofdeath - Pleased you are still chatting, I just know where you are coming from when you get so excited, and then you dont really fancy them, so disappointing! He may grow on you with an amazing personality though!
@Shayelle2009 - House is fab, I love it and feel very content, had the family round for Sunday dinner yesterday and didnt realise the timer on my oven actually turned it off!! So need to figure that out . I let Gas man down and he was very understanding.
@ivegotthisyeah - I will give it a week on your say so . Im paranoid about liking people who I have mutual friends with, I feel like they will gossiping about to me to the mutual friend and be giggling about me behind my back

@pineappleonpizzaornot ha ha this was me exactly but what I found was everyone on it is in the same boat so why would they laugh at one mutual friend and not the other - keep with it

Yeah, I suppose youre right. I have only had one mutual match and his opening line was "Had any dick pics yet and are you alone right now!" ...I will persevere!
I also find that as soon as I swap numbers with someone it goes tits up completely, they change into complete fuckwits!

Lol at the hat, but I know exactly what you mean, one messaged me last week, I though he looked really nice, he was in the snow, with a big warm jacket and a woolly hat on, then I saw another photo, and he is completely bald, I was like "Oh, I didn't expect that", and did think it was such a shame he couldn't wear a hat all the time!
We are quite mean aren't we!? But then again, I'm sure the men are just the same!

@Angelofdeath - That is really awful, there really are some tosspots out there! I am sure you are not fat at all, and I personally think you have a fab personality and you make me laugh every time I read your posts .....I think you are a really lovely lady

Haha at guys looking better with the hat on! 😂 its always a shame when they have an eye catching first pic then the selection gets steadily worse as you flick through. Another line i hate after the first message tor two is ‘who do you live with’... none of your fricking business creep! Im so irate I know... but theyre just creepy.
@Angelofdeath at least hes someone to chat to a bit you never know when someone else might come along. Shame your phone wont let you download any of the apps! Reckon youd chat to loads more if it let you on them.
@pineappleonpizzaornot glad mr gas was alright, do you think youll bother keeping in touch? Really glad youre cosy and happy in your new abode
@Isitreally7777 they are just the absolute best arent they? Mine can read me like a book, theyre so intelligent too, best friends in the world hey 🥰
