I've just had a look at Tinder.... god it's awful ....

SpringlikeBunk · 06/10/2021 20:35

Argh, first meet with MrGerman tonight and tbh he ticked every single one of my boxes....

Going to calm down from the double Prosecco and come up with a plan, as not sure I should overly invest from one meet?

SpringlikeBunk · 06/10/2021 20:38

Got straight in there with a message saying I was home safe and would definitely like to meet again, so ball in his court now Grin

SpringlikeBunk · 06/10/2021 20:41

Some nice positive messages back, so just going to take it one contact at a time now.

SpringlikeBunk · 06/10/2021 20:43

But why... sausage fest is surely a great accompaniment to cuffing season

Hi all, I'm reading and trying to keep up with the fast changing 'ironworks', but not getting much of a chance to post.

Oooh excellent update @SpringlikeBunk!

@Cocopogo ughh. I've never even been out of that stage yet so I super sympathise.

@Isitreallyme177 hope you have a lovely time but have to laugh (and also feel relieved) about the domestic stuff, that would SO be me too. Also sympathising on the spider thing - since separating a year ago I have actually been petrified of finding anything crawling in the house, it's one of the few times I'd be wanting to call on STBXH

@Bella how fabulous, hooray again for Feeld and loving the sound of coffee in the sun with Mr Sardinia.

@eesha congratulations! 💼

@Thisisworsethananticpated it's definitely hard to come back from the early sex chat. Recognise this from recent experience. Maybe sooner rather than later is the best way!

@Misty9 great update on Mr Scot!

Big 👋 to everyone else. Just wanted to fly by and say sorry for not being able to contribute more at this point but I'm cheerleading you all... from just a few feet along from the bench that some of you are on!

@BelladiMamma

I think I'm ready for a single sausage, or a saukercrat (sic?) in this case Grin

Misty9 · 06/10/2021 21:05

Argh, keep my head from running away... Mr Scot and I have spoken everyday since we matched, but tonight I haven't heard and he hasn't read the message I sent an hour ago. I know he hasn't got his kids so I'm now jumping to the conclusion that he's on a date with someone else... Last night went so well... But I can't help it Confused I know I need to be fine regardless...but am finding it a bit hard this evening and sleep deprivation probably isn't helping.

SpringlikeBunk · 06/10/2021 21:13

HE'S JUST SENT ME A PHOTO OF A HEDGEHOG HE HAS SEEN.

Hey, it's one night. It's ok. Be good to yourself ... we are all allowed one night off ...

LOL I have to remember not to make comments like that out loud -

I noticed when I was away that compared to the sophisticated European delegates I sounded like a Carry-On character Grin

SpringlikeBunk · 06/10/2021 21:18

I was being chatted up by a lovely Luxemborg (sic?) guy after we got caught in the rain and kept saying stuff like "ooh, we're wet aren't we?" Hmm

that's a spiky porcupine @BelladiMamma

SpringlikeBunk · 06/10/2021 21:31

Igel's are more standard hedgehogs, like MissTiggyWinkle

SpringlikeBunk · 06/10/2021 21:32

It wasn't a photo of a Winkle, btw, but a bona fide hedgehog.
