Joys of the apps - was chatting with someone normal looking about Zoom meetings from home. No flirting, two messages in.

And the guy HAD to reply with how he did it wearing only a shirt "with his nuts hanging out" Hmm

Good luck with today's dates 🤞

I can't remember which man on the thread went on a Terrarium course but today my local museum has posted to advertise a terrarium course and I thought of him because until he posted I hadn't heard about courses in making one.
So if you're in East Anglia and interested I'll give you the details.

The East Anglian contingent met today, it consisted of @Dancerinthemoonlight and myself😂
Next meet is Sunday 31st October - fancy dress optional👻😂

Sad day in the sorting household, my cat was run over and killed in the middle of the night so I was outside at 2.30am wrapping my cat up in towels - theres no sleeping once you've done that☹

FireandBrimstone · 10/10/2021 17:46

Very excited to hear about tonight's date @Bella, outfit sounds amazing!

I've had a bit of an uptick in action - met Mr Sexty for a date zero walk thing on Friday, and twilight drinks (second time meeting) with Mr Printer yesterday.

Mr Sexty - very nice, entertaining. Terrible outfit that made him look like an old man. I would consider some kind of FWB type arrangement with him but defining that would need some thought.

Mr Printer - A fun date. I really do fancy him! More than the first time we met, too.Due to his limited availability, nothing will progress with any speed at all. Could do with more overt positive signals from him but I think that is just the way he is. He did talk about a 'next time' so that's positive.

It's a long time since I've kissed someone! And my STBXH was a rubbish kisser. So I'm worried that I've forgotten what a good kiss feels like and/or if, when the time comes, I'll be rubbish at it!!!!

(Lol, can't believe I'm thinking about this, let alone whether I can remember how to do anything more than kissing 😳)

FireandBrimstone · 10/10/2021 17:48

Oh, @SortingItOut - so, so sorry about your cat. That is heartbreaking and what a devastating thing to have had to do, picking him up. Sending lots of hugs your way ThanksThanks

JustAnother0ldMan · 10/10/2021 17:58

@SortingItOut, sorry to hear about your cat,
Which part of EA are you from ?, I’m originally from there as well.

SpringlikeBunk · 10/10/2021 18:13

Flowers @SortingItOut Sad

SpringlikeBunk · 10/10/2021 18:15

Bumbling match stash cleared (have just gone through the list of matches, deleted any where I've picked up red flags, and sent quick gif to the ones that look Ok).

So no more swiping for a little while now, will let this lot filter through.

Isitreallyme177 · 10/10/2021 18:25

@SortingItOut I'm so very sorry. Flowers what an awful thing to go through.

my cat is unwell, in my hungover state I'm thinking the worst and just rang my ex and cried down the phone to him. Not sure I could lose her so soon after her sister.

Naimee87 · 10/10/2021 19:03

So sorry about your cat @SortingItOut that’s so sad! I’m hoping you’re alright! I do wish i was in the UK to be able to meet in person sometimes. I’ve nothing to update on the dating side of things. And nothing from MrE in quite a while now so feeling quite care/stress-free!
@Isitreallyme177 how was your quiet weekend? Mine’s been so nice! Just a country walk with my DS and dog! Managed a run today and walk down by the river. I used to hate not having plans and people to see, now i really love it. Got my truck books out again and sorted my flat out ( a bit too ) Sorry i couldn’t get a receipe for you but i cannot cook to save my life. I’m a ‘burns toast’ kind of kitchen person! 😂

Eesha · 10/10/2021 19:20

@SortingItOut so sorry about your cat, very sad news. Hopefully you have good people around you.

Isitreallyme177 · 10/10/2021 19:21

@Naimee87 your weekend sounds lovely, love those kind of weekends. My quiet weekend turned out to be the opposite, had a really good boxing class, then I had just poured myself a drink and sat down to watch the England football match when my friend calls me and tells me to come over as she has a house full. Went round, got drunk, set my love life to rights. She likes the sound of Mr Cricket, thinks he sounds like a decent guy and coming from her that's a massive thumbs up. She likes the fact we haven't done anything and are just getting to know each other as friends. I had a good time but I was actually sick when I got in and I haven't been like that in years so can't understand it as I didn't drink any more than I usually do and I'm still feeling rough so today has been a complete washout.

Naimee87 · 10/10/2021 19:31

@Isitreallyme177 sounds like a fun weekend! Yay! Oooh i know the feeling! I had ‘quiet’ after works drinks with my neighbour a few weeks back and ended up going way overboard and was sick everywhere before bed. I was as white as a sheet on 9 o’clock zoom call the next day and after that i had to go deliver flowers to one of my managers who lives close by. Was desperately hoping she didn’t notice how hungover i was. I’m happy you’re feeling positive about MrCricket and your friend gave you her approval. I’ve only got magnet-man’s texts at the moment keeping me entertained! Slippery slope i know but can’t help myself, i give him his name for a reason 😁😉

Slothmomma · 10/10/2021 19:31

So sorry to hear about your poor cat @sortingitout 😔 my remaining cat still pines for his sister 😢

Slothmomma · 10/10/2021 19:36

Update from me re Mr Mason. He took me out for a bday meal last night. Insisted on travelling my way again for my convenience as better for me to be close to home as using a sitter (my neice) for first ever time - I suppose that shows how invested I am in him as have never done it for anyone else 🤷‍♀️

It was a lovely evening - we can chat for hours - and he's so attractive - well to me obviously 😁 good kisser too and very affectionate 😊

Hes booked us tickets for a gig next weekend and we have booked somewhere to eat first. We will probably grab a drink after the gig and then I've invited him to stay over at mine 😱😁 and we plan on a lazy Sunday together 😁

Isitreallyme177 · 10/10/2021 19:43

@Naimee87 I live in a ground floor flat with patio doors to the communal garden, my neighbours have seen me curled up asleep on the sofa every time they walk past🤣. Were grown adults not teenagers or students we should know better🤣. As I said to my friend last night, Mr Cricket is lovely. When i told her he had sent me a picture of the bed he bought she said he's hinting (in fact so did one of the guys there). Are you going to see Magnet Man at all?

Stayingstrongish · 10/10/2021 19:57

@Slothmomma sounds perfect! Lovely to hear.

SortingItOut · 10/10/2021 20:01

Thanks everyone, been feeling out of sorts all day.

@JustAnother0ldMan I live in Suffolk - born and bred.

@Isitreallyme177 Hopefully she's just got a virus or eaten something she shouldn't have.

Sending love to those who've lost pets recently🤗

@Eesha My son is here and he helped me bury her in her favourite place. Had to ring my daughter up at Uni to tell her - I hate giving bad news by phone☹

@Slothmomma Mr Mason sounds great and next weekend sounds like it's going to be full of oxytocin 😊

Onesmallstep67 · 10/10/2021 20:22

@SortingItOut, so sorry to hear about your poor cat. It’s so sad when something happens to them. It’s no wonder you have been feeling out of sorts. 💕

BelladiMamma · 10/10/2021 20:33
