Dating thread 215 we are over here!!!

[BelladiMamma]

Ok folks new thread, hopefully everyone will find is!!

@SpringlikeBunk supporting the worst club in the PL is my hobby, that and cycling and motorcycles ..

As for taking shite, I am a man and do, of course, have advanced qualifications in taking shite, in fact all 14 yrs old boys are taught advanced shite talking in school ( not a lot of people know that), it doesn’t just come naturally to us don’t you know!

Oh and @Eesha it was soo good being in the city today. I was literally staring at all the hot suits at lunchtime 😍 missed that in the last year and a half!! Bring on the christmas drinks!! Have you met any of your workmates?

@Shayelle2009
Yes, thanks, what’s even more annoying is do I advanced skills coaching in IRL, so should really be able to deal with issues as I have all the tools, but unfortunately using them on myself is more tricky

@Shayelle2009 taking your advice again hun!

Rearranged tonight's date zero. So much pressure at work. Haven't texted MrActor (do I get a prize 😁🤩) & checking in with MrSardinia to see how flexible he is with timings for second meet.

Plus sorting out loads of admin before travelling.

@Shayelle2009 yes she is better now thank you, fingers crossed it was a one off. As for OLD I think you and I had similar mindsets and quit at the same time. I think taking myself out of it was the best thing for me. I'm glad I dabbled as I wouldn't have met Mr Cricket (our paths would never have crossed otherwise) but he is the only good thing to come from it.

Mr Tall confirmed does not want another date. So that's that. I have a date 0 tomorrow but I expect nothing to come of it. I'll go however. Better than a night alone.

I'm going to just take a couple of weeks and not search for anyone. See what happens.

@Shayelle2009 I would say Mr Retro is pretty relaxed himself. He agrees we are both busy people but make time to hang out. The truth is I should just stop things but it's convenient and nice!

I've only met my colleagues once but going for a team do soon enough so will enjoy that. I have a child free week coming up so want to make the most of that!

The positive thing is that now you know. It's horrible to feel rejected, but this is way better than being ghosted or hanging on for ages for a flake to make his mind up ❤️❤️❤️

If he's a good bloke, I wouldn't question it too much? Just enjoy it for what it is? ❤️

I often, only half-jokingly, refer to myself as a professional hypocrite... It's much easier to dish out the advice! Happy to have been of support before and good to hear you in better spirits :)

So, my date tonight cancelled with an hour to go... No reason given. I'm not that bothered to be honest as I wasn't feeling a spark with our chat. And I'm feeling a bit jaded with it all as Mr Scot made it clear nothing is going to happen there either 😕 plus, a long term family relationship has just ended, making me wonder what's the point if it all ends eventually?

Anyway, happy to be on my sofa!

@BelladiMamma yeah I'm glad I know, I figured I needed to be direct and just ask. It's a shame, but, getting ghosted is definitely worse!

@Misty9 sorry to hear your date cancelled!

Thanks. Sorry it didn't turn out how you hoped with Mr Tall :( dating really can suck can't it?!

Checking in and catching up!
Definitely a prize coming your way Bella I think you're doing the right thing despite being head over heels good luck for date zero this eve.
Sorry about Mr tall and Mr cancelling @Misty9 and @Dazedandconfused10, an hour to go is a bit shoddy.
Glad to see your post @JustAnother0ldMan apologies my comment on the last thread was poorly timed. There's a few of us on here that are in relationships or not actively looking but hang around for the chat, and it's always good to get a male perspective if you feel like sticking around. Football/NCFC not really my forte but I gather it's good news that Mike Ashley is on his way out?!

I'm already recognising men on tinder and bumble from my last time.
Going into the office tomorrow so I will make sure to swipe then so I shop up as being in the area.
I can't even say if this week has been better than last week. Work wise I'm getting on top of it slowly but won't ask for help as it just gets messed up and gives me even more work to do to try and sort it out. I still hate the job so still looking but don't want to sacrifice having a work life balance.
Personal wise has some really bad news about my dog and we are just taking it one day at a time and hoping she is comfortable for as long as she has.

Lol!

I'm not into football but even I know Ashley is Newcastle and NCFC is Norwich 😁

On the bench with you @Misty9 as my date zero cancelled too (so off the list)!

Still reasonably enthusiastic but going to wind down soon I think, let this lot of dates pan out then see how it is closer to Xmas?

MrWhatsApp has suggested meeting in a couple weeks, so that makes the date more spaced out at least. I might be on staycation then but oh well.

😂 I thought NCFC was Newcastle 🙈

Of course. NUFC. should've googled first

Hi all, checking in. Haven’t posted much but been following and reading 😊😊 things still amazing with Mr P, I’m away for a week in Spain at the moment and he’s been keeping on top of some of my work for me on top of his own FT job (with my clients permission of course) just so it’s easier for me to pick up when I get back. Think he might be a keeper…🥰

Hello everyone , popping back
Hope everyone’s OK 👌

I’m also taking a break from the apps
My latest one is so bad I get NO likes (inner circle)
It’s full of ‘founders’ and ‘CEO’s’ and none of them like me
I almost miss tinder 😂

Justanother
Sounds like a break is needed for you
Come off the apps and do other hobbies
You’ll perk up , really you will
We’ve all been there
No one can online date when they feel shit about themselves
I only do it when I’m ovulating (for now 😬)

NCFC Norwich City Football Club, made famous by a drunk Delia

So, my date tonight cancelled with an hour to go

Meh . Enjoy that sofa

@Misty9 what a shit to cancel with an hour to go. This happened to me years back whilst I was mid blow dry at the hairdressers. I remember how gutted I felt. But honestly. shows their character. Good riddance.

@Dancerinthemoonlight so sorry about your dog

@JustAnother0ldMan don't fall into the trap that everyone's lives are fabulous because they most certainly aren't. I think you need to take time out and work on yourself before venturing into the hell that is online dating. Like others have said, you have to be really thick skinned. I would say I have loads going for me but then I go online and it's all so blah that I leave again! And I have far better looking friends who feel the same. I'm beginning to think I might be gay as I'm not attracted to anyone! Look after yourself.

Thanks, I have deleted them all now,
Not sure about the ovulating, maybe I to wait until I have an erection ?
But I’m so old those days are few and far between 🤷🏼‍♂️
