Dating Thread 226: Springing into Spring

[Dancerinthemoonlight]

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

Ahh just nipples! Although the left is as good as the right. I’m ill and my brain is like gloop today.

Height is an interesting one. I’m on the short side at 5’6” and find that I’m either filtered out, or chats stop once people know. I’ve had to put it in my profile to be “up front”.

I know it’s a preference, which is fine, but it’s a common one. Most women seem to look for Tall Dark and Handsome and I’m only 2 of those 😀

Thanks all! Well it appears I spoke too soon as he's disappeared. Nothing new.

@Daydreamscometrue that's disappointing but at least you don't have to worry about that particular quandary now

@Daydreamscometrue his loss

Tinder is such hard work. I was propositioned 3 times last night, even though one knew I was ill.

Does anyone actually want to go out in a date from there!

Mr S just left. We were having a great time chatting when he again realised that he hadn't paid enough attention to the time and had to run as he had a call scheduled in 10 minutes.

He then kissed me for longer than was probably appropriate given time constraints.

I don't think I will be seeing him now until late April due to our conflicting holiday schedules (having seen each other three times over the course of 8 days).

I’m sure both are great 😊

@Daydreamscometrue. Oh dear

@gelatodipistacchio sounds good, long break is a bit of an issue I suppose, I’m not seeing ms 🐴 until Easter and the comms are tumble weed now, maybe she has forgotten about me 🙊

Oooooh @gelatodipistacchio that is looovely!! Excitement in the air!! 💕💕

I feel all flat, had some shyte news at work today, and no sign of Mr Turk.
Feel done with it all today 😞

@HowlongWillThisTakeNow ahhh, no! Do you have a definite time set to see each other again?

I'm starting to worry that MrS will meet someone in the meantime, when my goal since our first date has been to make him be my boyfriend. Maybe locking down a future date will be a good way to keep myself in his mind, hmmmm

@HowlongWillThisTakeNow do you take turns to be in contact or does one of you contact the other one more often? Are you two exclusive or is it a casual thing?

@gelatodipistacchiohopefully he is going to be having the exact same worries about you!!! 🙂

@ButterflyOfShay thanks. This is a really big deal for me. I can barely stand it.

Sorry that you're having a bad day. Are you off work soon at least? You should treat yourself this evening

@gelatodipistacchio. Yes, we are supposed to have date on Easter Saturday, I would suggest you get a date bolted in with Mr S

@ButterflyOfShay, well I’m exclusive, and has not told me she is not.., so that’s a good question really, as for comms - it’s normally me that starts, am currently awaiting a response from something I asked on Sunday

That’s so adorable @gelatodipistacchio! I know you’ve waited a while to meet someone you like 🙂

Thanks ill be fine, always am! You know where you just have those days sometimes where all feels pants! And not in a good way!! ☹️

Did you go out for the dinner in the end @HowlongWillThisTakeNow? Or is that your plan for Easter sat? I guess it’s only a couple of weeks, don’t fret about the texting 🙂🙂

@ButterflyOfShay
Yes my current plan is for us to go a more fancy pants gastropub kinda place an Easter Saturday, I have 2 in mind, and have asked the question, one is closer to hers, but the other the other looks better, still awaiting a response,..really need a get a table booked, arrgh, so annoying,..

Then afterwards I was hoping to get into her pants.. ( sorry couldn’t resist that )

ButterflyOfShay
Hugs x here’s to a better day tomorrow

HowlongWillThisTakeNow
Check you with your SEX LIFE
I’m stil a bit in shock I have one

Send some luck my way please 😁😁

Id just book both the tables and just cancel one when you know 🙂

gelatodipistacchio
He’s not going to find a new girlfriend any more
Than you are going to find a new boyfriend !

Your design to have him as a bf is super
Endearing though

I think when we fancy people we
Assume loads of people
Fancy them too

But sometimes they are just excited to have a mutual crush as we are

@Thisisworsethananticpated my goal is to have a sex life soon too! I'm pleased for you

Similarly, just a few weeks ago I texted a friend that I can't even imagine how people end up having sex. But now I can!!!

You're probably right. We are both really into each other. Nothing is likely to disrupt this in the very short term.

@ButterflyOfShay
Great idea, even if she finishes with me I’ll be able to have a decent dinner

@Thisisworsethananticpated
That was just a joke really, but ms H is sturdy girl, so I probably could get into her pants, not sure where the junk would go ?
