Dating Thread 218: The one where we're respectfully selfish

[WeWantTheFinestWines]

The Rules:

1. The first rule about the dating thread is don't talk about it with people you're dating.
2. Develop a thick skin.
3. Do not invest emotionally too soon.
4. It's all BS until it actually happens.
5. Trust your gut instinct.
6. People vanishing, lying & being generally weird is not your fault.
7. Know your worth.
8. If it's not fun, stop.
9. Loo update is mandatory.

10. No dating the thread. 11. Treat others as you'd like to be treated 12. Any relationship you have that could get ruined by having a conversation about your feelings, standards and/or expectations wasn't really stable enough to begin with 13. The things you choose to ignore/ tolerate now are the reasons you will break up in the future 14. OLD can get very time consuming. Keep doing other activities you enjoy.

Optional: Please give your irons (potential dates you are talking to) nicknames like Mr Scottish. Initials are allowed (Mr S) when you are an item

I did look into getting another Newfoundland recently but couldn't justify the spend when I found out how much they are now

Okay I've just been bawling my eyes out. I follow Absolute Radio on Facebook and they had a thing the other day about scenes in films that make you cry. Dobby dying in Harry Potter does it for me every time. I've just sat and watched that scene and now I'm 😭😭😭😭.

Now to put in some happy music.

@Bangheadhere40 that sounds promising! He is sussing you out!!

she's was a very big girl and took a lot of brushing

Sounds like a girl I used to date, she was definitely built for comfort not speed, 🥰[/quote]
Funnily enough when she was young and I came in from work she use to pin me against the wall and give my face a lick

75kg of Newfoundland with her paws on your shoulders you ain't going anywhere

@StartingAgain6369 sometimes you just have to go for it though 🥰

Lol @FabulousMrFifty did you saddle her up and canter round the garden 🤣🤣

75kg!! Holy hell!! Cuddlemeister 🥰🥰

Cant blame us for your filthy mind @SpringlikeBunk 😉🤣🤣

Aww, feeling the love again Shayelle and Banghead 🥰 I’m just rooting for everyone on the thread to find the right fit for them and I definitely think if you feel something IRL then it’s worth exploring. If nothing else you may have met a new friend and if he’s not the one you never know who you might meet through your friendship with him. Having people to hang out with is always a good thing.

What @Onesmallstep67 says @Bangheadhere40 😘💕 he sounds nice and you already like his energy as he’s RL! Good luck 💚

I know we’re not meant to date the thread but as a female of ample proportions I am always delighted when our Mr FabulousatFifty mentions his appreciation of us curvy girls 😉

@Shayelle2009
Almost, this was back when I still living in Norfolk, about my 2nd or 3rd proper girl friend, she was a big girl, solid diet of Norfolk dumplings I think, but she was great fun, and man she could away the cider as well.

@Shayelle2009 😳😬🙈🤣

Hi 👋🏻 everyone am feeling rubbish with the 'Rona but my new top iron MrBeau is keeping me entertained sending me piccies from work and voice notes in both my languages. Feeling all warm and cuddly. Talking of which my pooch is a x of a Berne's mountain dog and does the same as your Newfie used to @StartingAgain6369. Every time I've coughed today he's come over and put his paws on my shoulders and licked my face

@Shayelle2009 @PurpleStripyScarf taking the shwopping concept to a whole new level. I give you one Hugh Grant for a buff, sweary Scotsman

@StartingAgain6369. long time lurker, but rarely post… however a Newfoundland😍. I also owned a 75kg beautiful girl Newfie. Would love to again, given the time and finances. However have you considered contacting the welfare society? Lots go to rescue sadly

can’t beat a curvy girl to keep you warm with these cold nights, lovely 😊

@FabulousMrFifty @Onesmallstep67 when I was on the apps the majority of guys seemed to say they love a curvy woman! Always want we haven’t got. Cuddly men are best also!

Oh i love a good Dumpling! I don't really think men can want stick insect women or beefy hulked up women either! No way would i be giving up my chocolate and going all gluten-sugar-salt free and vegan-whole-food-plant-based living on stale crackers and raisins. And i'm all for the 'dad bod' i like cuddly and 'out of shape' no gym-buffs or schwarzenegger wannabee's, that's a old reference though for these days isn't it!

@Naimee87 noo noo a good gym body is just as cuddly. But not the big muscle man, that is just not nice. Computer Geek had a 6 pack and really was good to cuddle (think lockdown meant he had to ease off a bit). I'm watching Baywatch at the moment and the men on there are lovely😍.

Physical appearance/"types" are so individual aren't they?! I don't have a strong preference, just not too chunky but absolutely not skinny for me. It's random things that attract me though, the usual clichés like eyes and smile but different in that I'm not looking for perfect pearlies or whatever, it just has to be a warm and genuine smile that lights up the eyes.
And good forearms, warm hands. Good broad shoulders and the perfect (for me) aftershave.
Christ I can tell I haven't seen Mr D for a week 🤣

For me it's a eyebrow ring, earring and a bumbag apparently! Well he's got a nice face too 🤩
