Online dating in your 40s - part 3!

[StarlightSparkle]

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

Hi @Angelofdeath well i guess men and women have different reasons for asking that question (im the same as you, want to know if they live with their ex or mum)... when they ask i get the feeling its going to be ‘well i could just pop round’.. grim. So thats a question i just completely blank when they ask.
Im same as you, have usually 4, 2 full length and 2 face and I dont put hot ones up.. more go for the ‘girl next door’ look as want to attract guys who want more than a shag! Then if we meet and it goes somewhere my inner vixen comes out lol! Oh get the phone! get the phone! Treat yourself, you deserve it!!

You could maybe get a half decent phone and a half decent tablet @Angelofdeath. I’m the same that my phone is 6 years old I think but while it’s still workingish i cba upgrading. Sounds like you’re doing all the heavy lifting with mr policemen, I’m feeling the same way with mr beach.

@pineappleonpizzaornot glad he took it well, I’m so guilty of getting confident and brazen after a few drinks and regretting it the next day 🙈

@Shayelle2009 so jealous of your exercise routine, I’m trying to do more right now, I need your motivation!

Not been on tinder in a week odds. I’ve met 2 guys in the past month (1 other walking date before I joined this thread and he ghosted me) and I don’t feel like I could meet another during lockdown, I think that’s pushing it lol

@Angelofdeath maybe if you have a local tech type shop they would do a trade in with the old tablets and phones? Yes it’s beeb me messaging him and he replies. So I didn’t today and guess what? Not heard from him, I’m not even bothered though to be honest.

My photos are all pre-covid and I probably should change them when I go back on. It’s pretty obvious they are old though because they are at weddings and bars standing close to other people. Miss those days 😕

Oh @onemorerose i miss those days too! At present it feels like we’re just ‘existing’, not living doesnt it. I feel a bit numb inside 😔. Ive arranged a big drinks for my 40th in the summer with 40 people and I just hope things will be a bit more normal then. Cant stand this boring isolation!
@Angelofdeath im with ID mobile and they have some if the best deals. Ive got an iphone 11, on a 2 year contract I pay £30 a month, unlimited calls and 10gb data! Its really good! (Actually preferred the iphone 8 it was just as good and had a home button)! Might be cheaper than the 11 too. Worth a look? Dont worry about the policeman its disappointing when you think there could he something but he sounded like another flake.
@onemorerose i hope you feel ok about mr beach. Thanks about the exercise, im just in a routine and i literally just force myself, as i never really feel like it. What helps is having really energetic tunes on and a lot of caffeine and that usually gets me going enough! Then when you start i find i always get into it! Just lifts my mood for the day, gives me confidence, gets me motivated and stuff! I usually just follow Joe wicks for hiit 💪
Have a good day lovely ladies

Im thinking i might give bumble another try, if and when i can be arsed! Got the catch up with mr work tomorrow which im quite excited about! Feel like ive got a ‘date’ haha even though its just a chat

I dont need anything else fixing in the house .

How did Mr Police take it? 18 or 66.....made me laugh!!

Ive just had the worst people like me on FB dating, they are definitely living in Shreks swamp!

I’ve had a couple of messages from mr beach today, he messaged first, so will play by ear with him.

@Shayelle2009 here’s hoping you get your big party!! Just had a depressing chat with a co-worker with him saying he didn’t think schools will open this school year. I was braced for Easter but I’m slowly losing my mind. I need to get back into proper exercise you’ve sold it so well and it’s all true!

@Angelofdeath fair enough with mr policeman. Any reply?

@onemorerose i think Easter but with the success of the vaccine rollout, might be early March as thought. I miss my long walks after dropping the kids off. 1hr each way and I felt amazing. Now just living in my onesie!

I forgot, I do have the porch door that needs fixing....a maintenance man is coming Friday to do it! I might make sure I am dressed this time .

@Angelofdeath will see how the chat with mr work goes and will think about bumble.. have to be the right frame of mind to go back on them as they just make me feel rubbish straight away usually! Think you did the right thing about mr policeman, its not what you wanted so good to just draw a line under it. You do get lots of messages i know they arent what you want but seems like most days someone appears so you must be doing something right

Oooooh how handy @pineappleonpizzaornot a maintenance man this time hee hee!! Please brief us in full after this visit!

@onemorerose glad mr beach has been making more of an effort today, maybe he was just having a bad day.

For everyone who loves a good long walk.. it was sooo nice to see sunshine today and think its going to stay like this for a few days, yay 🌞 at least thats one thing to cheer the spirits a bit.

I've asked the guy I've been speaking to if he wants to meet. I've not heard anything back yet 😬

It's only been an hour and I'm already presuming I'll never hear from him again!

I didn't have much luck on Facebook dating. I had one former z list celebrity and crack addict send me a pervy message, and a load of other 'undesirables'.

angelofdeath no I couldn't get it to work. I need to look into it more as I want to research every photo that is sent to me. I just don't trust anyone now. I was incredibly naïve.

Chatting to one guy, good job, own home etc and within 24hrs he asked my favourite sexual position. Seriously?

One guy blocked me as I wouldn't text constantly throughout the day. He didn't understand I am home schooling and have a life outside tinder!

@Angelofdeath don’t depress me with thinking this is my life until June! I’ve just been and bought wine already with the thought of it.

@pineappleonpizzaornot 😂 this could end up being an alternative to tinder, breaking things and getting men to come and fix them? Do you know the fire service come and give you a home check, I might do that one myself!

@Shayelle2009 are you looking forward to your call tomorrow? Yeah I know he was hungover yesterday but I think I’m ok with the non-constant or even daily messages. I debating on whether to ask him over at the weekend? I asked last time but then it is my house and he can’t ask me to his as he moved in with his parents when he moved back here, I think maybe he’s too polite and non-pushy to ask to come here?

@OutingMyself and word from your man? And I’m dying to know who the z lister is?

@TwoHoots74 weird to block for not being able to chat all day. But yeah I trust no one as well.

No word yet.

I highly doubt you've even heard of him, but I'll inbox you 😁

It's a real shame. There has to be done nice guys out there somewhere.

I've decided to block the guy that I've been chatting too. Apart from asking me my favourite sexual position I've noticed his grammar isn't great. He's supposed to be a solicitor. I think it's a fake profile.

Looks like crazy cat lady is the way forward.

He's not going to reply is he :(

Inbox me who it is please!!!
