Online dating in your 40s - part 3!

[StarlightSparkle]

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

Well I was right. Got the guy to call me and he did infant have a black accent not the white Home Counties he professed.

@OutingMyself hope you hear back from him, hopefully you will if your chats have been flowing nicely?
Ahh there you go @onemorerose he was just hungover .. guess its all in your hands if you want to spend more time with him. Yeah im def looking forward to my chat tomorrow and wondering if its going to a be a boring kind of chit chat or something more sparkly.... we will see

Youve all put me off ever going on facebook dating haha sounds fricking horrendous 😮

He was replying quite quickly, so he's either not interested in meeting or he's not sure what to say/shy. Oh well, what will be will be I suppose.

Nah. I think that's definitely it now.

It's weird that he's not bothered to unmatch or delete the conversation

Went on Tinder for a quick look this morning, god it's depressing, I literally saw the first guy who said he was younger than his age on there and he liked older women 35 and above (35 is not old) and closed the app. Back to break it is then

*my break

Haha @Angelofdeath i do love hearing about the oddballs on yours! Theres literally a funny one every day i really hope a good one comes along for you (with a nice bathroom) you deserve it! x
Ah thanks yeah its later this afternoon, hope I just keep my calm and not turn into a waffling freak lol!
Give it time @OutingMyself maybe somethings come up, does he have kids maybe he was seeing them? Good luck either way.

@Angelofdeath definitely is. I'm seeing the same faces time and time again, I'm sure I've already swiped left on them too.

We need any sort of entertainment at the mo dont we @Angelofdeath! Haha yes ill try focus more on the kate middleton vibes, less on kathy burke! !!
Im sure the apps are worse than ever @Isitreally7777 and @angel... literally impossible to find one guy to swipe right on, let alone start any conversation with!
My final straw on tinder last week was an interesting looking guy, looked intelligent and asked if if I had turned to netflix, exercise or alcohol during the lockdown, when i said a bit of all three he replied why dont we meet up and do those together... put me right off so i deleted the whole thing.
Maybe its just me because I like to chat to someone on messaging for a week or two before theres any suggestion of meeting up.

Where the heck are the decent men?!?

@OutingMyself annoying and weird that he hasn’t replied, not like he wouldn’t have a good excuse to meet someone right now.

@Shayelle2009 I like to get the meeting done quickly if I’m interested in someone.

Still haven’t bothered opening tinder, I’ll just live it through you guys as mine is exactly the same 😂🙈

He deleted it. Oh well.

@OutingMyself deleted your message? Sorry for this, onwards and upwards and at least you know. I know it's not much consolation.

Yeah he unmatched/deleted the whole thing.

Yes, definitely good to know :)

Sorry to hear that Outing 😟

Just had the catch up... bit of a let down tbh, nothing at all sparking it was just very general chit chat.
Oh well!! 😕

@OutingMyself - I want to know who the sleazy celeb is too?!

@Shayelle2009 - Have you arranged another catch up with him? Chit chat is good, better than sleazy and pervy, maybe he is shy and trying to gauge you?

I have had the most horrendous infection in my gum the past 2 days, Ive literally wanted to boil my head, so Ive not been in any kind of mood to look at any apps! Only just managed to get antibiotics for it! Its just starting to ease off now, so feeling slightly more human!

Hey @pineappleonpizzaornot oh noo you poor thing ouch ☹️ That sounds horrible.. glad the antibs are starting to kick in.
Its a work friend Ive known for 3 years and I know he’s a bit reserved but it was just dull compared to last week. Its weird really.
I feel like I just want to hit the wine 😂

Thanks everyone. Yeah I'm fine really, its just such a waste of time! I've sent a couple of first messages and heard nothing back today too

That's crap @Shayelle2009. I definitely know the wanting to hit the wine feeling today!

@pineappleonpizzaornot that sounds horrendous, hope it clears up soon. I'll message you in a bit with the name
