Dating Thread 221 - will this thread see us through 'till Christmas?

[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

So he 100% could be a cat fish.

Anyway, there's nothing he doesn't understand, he isn't marking all the time, he probably is a bit naive about babies but everyone is until they have them however he doesn't "think" anything about them or about having them because he's just saying what you want to hear.
You know he's stringing you along for his own amusement.

I note you've not answered about explicit photos.

Anyway, I've "made" sausage rolls which will be ready in fifteen minutes, baked potato will be ready in an hour and baked camembert is plied with white wine, garlic and rosemary ready to go in in forty minutes. Carol's in the TV and I've got ginger beer. Might have red wine with supper.

(Still got to make the bed but let's overlook that!)

@VanGoghsDog he does think about having babies. I do know that.

We've talked about sleeping together, that's all. He knows I badly want to do that, being a virgin and everything.

He's not a catfish. Have looked up his family and some of his friends, so I know he's real.

Is anyone still chatting on the apps etc today? I've settled down with popcorn and a film for the kids so have lots of time to fanny around on my phone... But it's pretty quiet on the chatting front and I assume most people are occupied with families etc?

That camembert sounds delicious

@OnwardsEverStridingOnwards he's taking the piss whether he is who he says he is or not. I found Mr Cricket online (in fact I found him mentioned in articles and photos of him) but until I met him in person he could have been anyone using that person's name.

Oooh sausage rolls 😋 @VanGoghsDog and I hate making the bed.

You don't know what he thinks, you know what he's told you.

And you don't know that the name and accounts you've looked at are him at all, he could well be using someone else's stuff. Why else would you never have seen him in over a year?

Making the bed is probably my least favourite thing, it's so..... physical!! I don't think there has ever been a time I've stripped the bed and made it before bedtime, I'm usually going to bed around midnight and this is me as I walk into my bedroom 🤦🏻‍♀️

I've just unmatched someone with whom I'd been having the slowest most boring conversation of my life, ten days between replies. Anyway, pointless and his message just sitting there was annoying me so gone.

I've got a couple on Feeld I'm chatting to but not right this minute. MrStone is texting, just offered again to come over tomorrow to help me eat all my food.

so, he has a Facebook account which he never uses. Though that, I've found both of his sisters active accounts. They've tagged themselves in pictures of him.

I've also found his Aunt's social media and she comments on both his sister's posts a lot.

I've got a Facebook friend in common with his older sister, as well.

Or, the accounts of the person whose name he gave you.

Anyway, regardless of whether that's really him or not, it's not going anywhere.

I've also found the social media account of one of his friends. One of said friends profile photos is a photo which features Mr Gambit.

@OnwardsEverStridingOnwards I don't think you're getting what we mean, this man could be using that person's account. You've never met him, never chatted on the phone. He could be a 14 year old boy just telling you he is Mr Gambit.

I do know he uses another name for his social media, but I know that's so his students don't find him.

I know Mr Gambit is who he says he is. I've seen photos of him with his family.

Anyway.... I suppose I'll see if he ever talks to me again.

I don't know why it's such a surprise to him that I may need looking after. He knows I've got a disability and what it is.

I haven't seen him because he doesn't want to see me, although he would like to sleep with me, but how we would to that without meeting I have no idea 🤷‍♀️

*do

Dammit everyone. It's likely the White Russians and Xmas spirit catching me but MrT hooked me a little more.

He said he'd had a good dream this afternoon which he didn't want to wake up from (Covid recovery nap after work, I approve) and I asked him to share.

Was fully expecting a sex dream. He described him helping me to make the party food, us and the kiddos having some quality time, then them to bed and us getting wrapping done and going to bed ourselves.

Maybe the Covid is making him loopy. Maybe he's decided to get drunk because he has zero plans now for Xmas.

He said maybe next year that could be a thing. I'm trying to process it a bit because I really do like everything I've seen about him which is bringing out my "what could HE see in ME?" And yet the reasons I like him are non typical - we just genuinely seem to jive well and have the same outlook and be able to talk through stuff. I'm being super guarded and mindful.

How do you know when someone is playing you vs someone being a really, really good match?

I've knocked off so many people for the first reason. I'm warming to the idea of him being the second. Last nights video call he was too poorly to talk a great deal (he did a sterling effort though) so I spent a long time just admiring how damn attractive he is.

No idea how I ended up here 😂😂

@VanGoghsDog you're more patient than me - I unmatched someone after 3 days of no response! It was only the 3rd message between us and I thought if he can't be arsed now, it doesn't bode well.

I'm a bit fed up with the whole thing really. Even if Mr bat works out, it'll be sporadic contact at best due to kids and other commitments. Just feels a bit pointless sometimes.

Who's coming to the meet up in February then? ❤️😘

@Isitreallyme1277 a dominos sounds perfect Christmas Eve food - I have a black cat over my shoulder eyeing my lap but her dog sister will not allow her to move near me

@VanGoghsDog baked Camembert sounds amazing - I must be totally slovenly because if /when I go to bed and it’s not made I just sleep without bedding
