Dating Thread 224: Keeping it casual or searching for The One

[WeWantTheFinestWines]

I'll cut and paste the rules in a minute

@curmudgeonly007 I’m sorry to hear that about your friend, it’s very sad. Have you got someone you can talk to about it?

@Bangheadhere40, that’s really rubbish to read. I’m sorry that he’s made this rather silly decision. Keep your head high and don’t dwell on it. He was clearly not your next big thing but someone else will find you and thank his lucky stars that he did 💪🏻💐

@curmudgeonly007, I’m really sorry to hear that your friend has passed away. Life can be very cruel sometimes. ❤️😘

@Bangheadhere40 Ah I'm so sorry to hear that, especially when you are sick and by text. Poor form on his behalf! Hope you feel better soon.

@curmudgeonly007 Really sorry to hear about your friend, very sad. Hope you're ok.

Bangheadhere40
Oh babe
I’m so so sorry
Oh man
He sounded like a good one
That’s a blow
Sending major hugs your way xxxx.

Thanks guys, I'm not dwelling anyway...just bizarre x

curmudgeonly007

I’m so so sorry
That’s terribly sad
Sending prayers their way
May they rest in peace

curmudgeonly007
Just look after yourself
Be extra specially kind tonight
Whatever kindness looks like x

Bangheadhere40
And hope you have what you need to recover
What a bugger
I’m angry with him x

When it gets like this , take temporary break
Get self esteem back outside of the men
Laugh with friends
Get chirpier
Then new profile , different site

I can’t do it when I’m feeling flat
Peaks and troughs

Yeah I’ve definitely taken a step back this week, thing is I’ve only been back at it since the start of the year after a 6 month break last year after similar problems. Profile and matches don’t seem to be the issue but getting engaging conversations going and dates is. Trying to fill my social life up more without guys but it’s not always easy

@Bangheadhere40 what an absolute arse, sounds like you’ve dodged a bullet there!

@curmudgeonly007 so sorry about your friend hope you’re doing okay

@Thisisworsethananticpated
Hope your date went okay and you had a great time

@Bangheadhere40
Sorry to hear about your iron, bit of crappy excuse.

Thanks all,
I’m fine just a bit of a shock really.

Bloody lovely evening… I luvs you guys @VanGoghsDog @WeWantTheFinestWines @ReturnOfTheBunk @Dancerinthemoonlight @SortingItOut @StartingAgain6369 @Daydreamscometrue 💗💗

Gutted I had to leave to get home 😭😭 enjoy the rest of the parttyyy 👯‍♀️👯‍♀️👯‍♀️

@Bangheadhere40

To quote " I can't put my dog through it, I hope you understand " wtf

@Bangheadhere40 no!!! 😢 fuck im so sorry xxxx

@curmudgeonly007 so sorry for your loss as well 😔

Hey @curmudgeonly007 I'm so sorry to hear your news. Hope you're doing ok.

@Bangheadhere40 hope you're bearing up too.

Quiet here as I've got Covid and nothing much going on. Had a date zero lined up for Tuesday coming, but will have to postpone by a couple of weeks as I'm going away for half term at the end of my isolation period. He's not a particular chatty iron so I guess we'll see whether we manage to keep it going until I'm back. Hopefully he'll be a slow burner though, as I think he might be a good'un.

That's literally the extent of my gossip. Please tell me and Bang your best jokes to keep us entertained whist in isolation.

Honestly it’s like talking to the dead fish in their profiles atm, ‘ so what do you like to do with your weekends’ whatever I fancy excellent conversation there

@curmudgeonly007 haven't posted for a few weeks but just wanted to say I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost a dear friend suddenly in lockdown 1 and it was truly awful. It will be 2 years in April and I think about him every day still. You have your memories and they will never go. One day you will be able to look back and not be sad, remember both the times you laughed and the times they irritated you and smile. I always say my friend was a pain in the arse but he was our pain in the arse and we wouldn't change him for the world. Our last messages were about Ozark and I'm watching series 4 now just thinking what he would have made of it.

Nice to hear from you @Isitreallyme12777 - hope you're well

Hey @PurpleStripyScarf I'm good, getting on with life, not dating as no time for it between seeing friends, working and the gym(although still found time to tipsy message Mr Cricket on the way home the other night🙈 well he was the last person to message me on WhatsApp and I'm sure he needed to know I was on the train home, after all he knew I was going out🤷‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤣). I booked Ibiza last week too so I'm smashing the gym for that. How are you doing?

@Isitreallyme12777
Thanks for the kind words, much appreciated.

@ihavetogoshoppingnow
The fish won’t be dead, it will be a carp or bream or something like that, probably caught at a fishing lake and released back again will be the biggest fish that guy will have ever caught - the picture will be a sense of pride for him, but saying all that I think fishing is as boring as anything.
