Dating thread 234 ... spooky times ahead

[BelladiMamma]

New thread!

Could someone else please copy and paste the rules ...?

😂😂😂👍🏻

made me giggle too

the hair , the shower , the outfit , the therapy !

my therapists cock blocking me 😂

The five year old and the Halloween costume -terrific🤣🤣🤣

My very very VERY young iron has covid and has cancelled

it’s for the best

I’m think the idea of actually being near a real life busty MILF bought it on 😵‍💫😂

i did get liked by a 17 year old on hinge once
his profile pic was in hiS mums bathroom , could see her liz Earle cleanser in the pic

so never think you are too old ladies
fight the good fight

Today I shall experiment with attempts to lure men to me in the wild. Museum. Exhibition & café. I will wear a tweed cape. Perhaps drop something. But what?! It isn't summer, I don't have a fan. Perhaps a subtly perfumed glove. << not a condom euphemism

@Thisisworsethananticpated Getting Covid is literally everyones excuse nowadays but does make for a good get out😂

@DoomsdayPrep Loving the plans for today...a perfumed glove sounds perfect 😊

@Thisisworsethananticpated , poor lad, the chance of being with an actual real woman probably scared him to death,

@DoomsdayPrep “ The mystery of the scented glove “ sounds like the plot for a Sherlock Holmes case, - who was the elusive woman in the Tweed Cape..

you need to gave a man in the wild ( a wild man 👨), the message that it’s okay to talk to you, in the Cafe politely ask the wild man to hold your cape while you find your phone/ money/ purse etc, then you go off on your wild experience

Hello mothership. Reporting in that I was way too hasty with my frettings and talk of condoms given my 2nd date with MrCurly ended with No Kiss! Drove him home after lovely being of strolling arm in arm, snuggling under a blanket for drinks and him buying us some food.
Hey ho. Was a nice evening. Pretty sure his parting 'Stay in contact' as he dashed out of the car (I leaned in for a kiss and got a brief peck) was a 'don't call us, we'll call you' kind of brush off.

We were quite handsy during the date but I declined his offer of going in to his house for a cuppa as had stomach ache and had left the teens home alone since Fri.

Odd.

*lovely evening of strolling not 'being'
And he asked questions about me and we discovered more distant tribes in common.

dating is odd . That’s all i can say

did you get Any flirty vibes , touching ?

id assume not interested too tbh

Yes ridiculously flirty and touchy the whole date.

Luckily I feel very relaxed and ambivalent about whether I hear from him or see him again.

OnceRuralNowUrbanbliss

thats odd

i Guess sit on hands and have a busy workday Monday

I've promised myself I'll come off the apps now for winter as heading out into the dark, damp cold telling my teens I'm off out the standing around waiting for a stranger off the internet is very much a spring, summer sport.

Do you all delete your profile entirely as well as the app from your phone or just 'go hidden'

I think I'll do the former so all the current chats see I've gone. Then if/when I rejoin in 2023 I'll re-write and add latest photos.

@OnceRuralNowUrbanbliss

I think I would like a lovely evening of being, actually!

I'm so intrigued by the huddling under a blanket. Were you outside? In a park? Who brought the blanket? Is this his/your MO? It's definitely mine. I always arrive at my dates with a blanket. Insert more discussion of hot v cold weather dating.

@NoDatingForOldMen

The Mystery of the Scented Glove. Yes.

Though I'd go more gumshoe noir than Sherlock Holmes. Both require elusive aloof woman of mystery. Dime store novel, never made it to film (though the author tried). That's another story though. Title: Gloves Off, Slowly.

Nice outdoorsy bar place had blankies to snuggle under. It was nice @DoomsdayPrep

@OnceRuralNowUrbanbliss oh dear, that does sound a bit “thanks, but no thanks”, sorry

@DoomsdayPrep I’m certainly more Sherlock Holmes than Sam Spade.. , how did the wild man hunting go ?

We'll see @NoDatingForOldMen I'm neither speculating nor hoping. I don't think we are a good match despite an obvious shared sense of humour and interests etc. For various reasons. This isn't sour grapes.

I can only jump to the mortifying conclusion that I had/have awful bad breath 🤢
Not been told of this before and pretty sure my forthright teens would have let me know so hopefully not but it was very odd sudden alternative ending.
I sort of kicked myself last night for not saying yes to tea but really did have terrible tummy ache and was tired after a busy weekend. Now I'm glad I came home when I did.

OnceRuralNowUrbanbliss

i would not jump to that conclusion quite so fast !! It could be many many things

I think you are being a bit hard on yourself really, maybe he just wasn’t feeling it .

Its incongruous. He told me of the ideas he had for Date3 and was very touchy then insisted he pay for food despite being skint and and and and but then legged it and didn't come in for a snog.
I thanked him for lush times when I got home and he said we'd had a fun time.

Whatevs. I'm busy. It will be no issue if I don't hear from him again. Looking forward to no dating cosy indoor times until March tbh. Honestly.

until that peri meno horn hit again !!!

Possibly when he knew you had tummy ache and weren’t coming in for sex, he switched off? The bad breath thing seems a very remote possibility. Anyway, you’ve had fun times and now you have snuggly times to look forward to - that’s a win I think 😊

It is a win @Badbaddogagain! So true.

He's made me laugh my socks off in the week I've known of his existence and I've worked out a few more things about my preferences/non-negotiables. We've had two ace nights out and now I'll be battoning down all the hatches (🤭) until Spring 2023 unless this one surprises me by getting in touch and requesting Date3.

Win win. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Good call Oncey…I think I might also take a break.

I’m still talking with MrF ( he’s yet to fly back from NY) but we only chat at weird times as we are on different time zones. He looks quite straightforward and he’s been thoroughly checked both in linked in and firm he works for. Similar in many ways. One thing that worries is he’s 6’5” …basically a giant compared to my 5’3”. But he likes petite and it’s his preference. Just as I like tall guys. He’s very very different to the beautiful men I’m used to like so let’s see what happens. We had agreed on a day next week to meet but he has asked politely to change it to day after as he’s seeing a client. But…get this…even though client is a very big client he said he would reschedule with client if I could not make a day after and wanted to keep the date as initially discussed. I LIKED this. Conversation is strictly formal and agreeable. Suits me until I meet him. I feel he’s had some little inklings of controlled wit but I am also aware none of us want to overcook the messaging until we meet. I know the basics and he has answered any personal question. Looks businesslike but I’m interviewing for a partner and I want to be extra careful. I will duly report to the Mothership
