New thread 🧵 with the rules as a screenshot 🍂

Anyone want to check in and update us with your lovely and not so lovely irons 💗🍂🧵

Hello! Just checking in . No dates for me in a while plus I definitely lost my enthusiasm since my hols for any sort of male company 😀 Perhaps im getting old....

@BelladiMamma thanks Bella for the thread!

Checking in ✅

No, not for me, unfortunately. I'm still ironless after friendzoining Mr Gambit. ❤️

And thank you for the new thread, @BelladiMamma ❤️😘

Blokes eh? 😂🙊 life is so much simpler solo

Also, new flash from a roving reporter in the world of OLD

Checking in, nothing to report, apps as dire as ever 🙄

Thanks for new thread .. only one iron for me and I'm not sure that's even a thing anymore . Out tonight being wined and dined at a country club by a guy went to school with

Nearly a week since my last contact with BeardFlake and my fingers are itching to text him. I think I deleted his number this time ... but left him unblocked on the increasingly unlikely off chance that he'd get in touch ...

Irishflake and I are burning up the phones on a new frjendship basis. I'm hopeless 🤦🏻‍♀️

Otherwise

MrTattoo - real life date happening tomorrow
MrGig - gig next week
MrHostel (new!) - coffee ☕️ next week
MrAccountant - walk next weekend

Benched

MrItaly
MrDJ
MrBuilder
MrProperty

Waiting for them to actually come up with the frequently promised 'we must get together'
Yawn 🥱

Nothing new with me. Still off the apps and going on holiday Friday night for 2 weeks 😁 mostly looking forward to having no work and lumping my ever growing work load on others as I'm feeling less included than ever in work

Thanks for the thread @BelladiMamma

One iron for me - date zero Thursday - if it happens…. #glasshalfemptyattitude

Thanks for new thread. Weekend planned with Mr L, he is organising again which is great. He makes me happy.
I am going to acknowledge Mr TGs message but firmly close it off with him.
Not on apps while I see how things go with Mr L but not a sign of flakiness yet!

Thanks!
So impressed with all your dates @BelladiMamma hope they go well. I have to say I feel more empowered about dating since joining these threads :-)

My update:
Dr Sends Selfies in Scrubs:
had gone quiet, thought maybe lost him, but today I sent a message saying missing the footage of you in scrubs. He replied immediately with ‘how about looking bedraggled on the tube?’ and a one second video of him. I like his humour, and he’s attractive. I sent v brief complimentary reply. Not heard back. Do I send selfie in return? (I’m talking clothed).

Introducing: Mr Lovely Friend: a IRL lovely, long-standing friend, we’re both single lately, can get a bit flirty but not beyond (yet). Going out to see some dance together Sat eve.

Thanks for new thread @BelladiMamma

Not much happening with me. Matched with 2 irons on bumble over night. One has sent a few back and forth messages. Not heard from other yet.

Just found the new thread, thanks
I'm checking in to say that I can confirm that being a bad kisser does not automatically mean sex will be rubbish.

I, ahem, spent all weekend with Mr Bad Kisser (now definitely improving) and most of that time was in bed . Lots of time getting to know each other. I think I might be a bit smitten!

Wow this sounds great ...

Weird OLD contacts update (reader, he unmatched me 😲):

thanks @BelladiMamma as ever so much on the go!
No real update other than still entangled in the chaos of my own making. Won't be seeing MrE till the weekend. Definitely need some space/time to think things through. The more frustrated i feel with all this the more appealing magnet-man is becoming as a escape.
@Dancerinthemoonlight hope you have a really nice trip when it happens. Sorry about the work situation...are you feeling less included in your own team? I can relate because all but me and one other colleague are from the same country so we're often not included in the more 'social' side of office life. Been back to the office now three times and although nice to see a few people i do still prefer home.

Hi everyone, can I join? I'm back with online dating after a failed relationship with an actual 'real life' person, ha! I haven't been on here for a while but will look out for the people I remember, or even hope that they're not here anymore as they've found someone!

Not sure if anyone remembers me but there was completely unavailable Climber Guy (I was falaff I think) who I got completely infactuated with and you guys helped me through that. I've met someone for a few dates and it's been going really well so far, but I tend to self sabotage or try and look for faults so hopefully this thread will keep me on the straight and narrow!

:)

Hi 👋🏻 Paul I smell like horse shit and I do love hold ups but since lockdown hit the only thing they've been holding up are my expectations of on line dating which are in my boots

Brand new to this thread but loving it!!

After 4 years of on & off OLD (brief relationship in between)

I've been starting to give up hope. Been losing interest in OLD but I seem to go through phases!!

Welcome @fidgetmad

Thanks! Think I'm going to enjoy this 🍿
