NoDatingForOldMen

Did he live in east London?

@DoomsdayPrep Did he live in east London by any chance?

Just back from date no3 with Mr medic. Quite coffee and got to chat some more. Still feeling it 😁

@DoomsdayPrep had a similar experience- feel free to DM

Date suggested and accepted for Sunday by MrCurly. It's going to be a speed meet n greet between me driving home 4 hrs in my roller skate sized car then driving an hour to take my son out for a meal at 5pm dropping him home and squeezing in a brief beverage with MrCurly before my gig starts.
Im going to be completely shattered by Monday morning!

Also have been informed that the following week when four girlfriends all travelling to London for an all night danceathon is being gatecrashed by a single fella who might be right up my street. Hilarious, musical and easy on the eye.

This is more like it. An abundance of potentials and nil hopes of expectations for any of them.

Also have started chats with a drop dead gwargeous one who surely is an age denier. Says he's ten years younger than he looks.

I say lucky MrMedic @Slothmomma that you are still feeling it after coffee Date3 he's a lucky fella.

Happy Birthday for tomorrow!

Ah thank you @OnceRuralNowUrbanbliss 😊

Slothmomma

yes ? Good 👍 job done ✅

my friend has confirmed that my inkling that Pilates teacher fancies me is correct
so that’s exciting !

@Thisisworsethananticpated that IS exciting! I have a crush on my Pilates teacher too but we are both heterosexual women 🙄🤭

OnceRuralNowUrbanbliss
😂
friend is lined up to ask questions and see if we can get get into private classes with him

I’m a big fan of the ‘under one to get over one ‘ usually , but this time I’m not doing that

Balkan was such a car crash 💥 I can’t

so have you ended it with art ?
or just a quiet fade ?

OnceRuralNowUrbanbliss
fast first dates are good
way less mental pressure and angst

Blimey, so many updates, too much to get my head around.
will have to get one of my big boys toys out today and get some fresh air, have been indoors all week.

Happy birthday Slothy 🎉🎉🎉🥳🥳🎈🎈🎈🎁🎁🎁. bring on date 3 with Mr medic

Worsy … Pilates instructor… hmm… FIT

Oncey good luck with Mr Curly . Fingers crossed
@NoDatingForOldMen .. enjoy sunny day 😊

Ok… saw Mr Euro in posh Champagne bar . The start was a bit shaky ( he’s 10 years older than what it says in his profile). He’s super fit and well suited. Super elegant. Some red flags like he’s in a really really bad divorce ( but I also had one and in no speaking terms with the ex), he has grown DC and he talked at length about them.
what I like about him… he’s very candid about the good the bad and the ugly and is passionate about life and work ( massive green flag there)
We then decided to go for dinner to nice Italian and really enjoyed it.
We May go later for a coffee later on

Made a big mistake last night and sent MrT text about my cab cancelling and being late for Champagne bar
MrT said “ this message must e for your other date”
I apologised and told him I am interviewing for the position… he was very nice and texted me after to see how my date went on
I think Mr T is a brilliant guy apart from witty
We will have a video chat later tonight
I will go slow and interview as much as I need

Mila14

ooops
so euro , chemistry 🧪?

I’ve realised no one has a good divorce
mine was nuclear and I’m lovely

it’s just how much they talk about it

Worsy… he’s undergoing unbelievable shit so I think it’s good he volunteered info. He was quite candid about his mistakes which was quite unusual in a super alpha male like him. I will take time and see how it goes. It’s so different to date euro man, I can see some of my traits and we need a lot of words to precisely illustrate our opinion. Very different and totally new for me.
English guys are more straight forward I think. This guy is quite complex I think and I need to see whether this works for me too

@Mila14 Did the fact he lied about his age not put you off?

So funny you text Mr T and not Mr Euro😂

Oncey … Mr O also lied about age 😂😂😂. I think he does look the age he stated and told me his real age straight away. I’m really not that fussed about that because I think it’s OLD… you get out of a dating pool.
I’m still not clear about anyone honestly. Let’s see how the video chat with MrT goes. He’s a lot more normal I think. Mr Euro is an Uber financier. He was careful I met him before checking him in linked in. First time ever I meet an iron and have not checked him
When I arrived at venue for Champagne bar I was asked about the surname of the person who invited me ( member’s club) and I did not have it. I called him and ask and could not make sense of it and he did not text it. He waited to reveal it and be open about it after he met me.

@Mila14 I hate lies, 10 years is a huge amount to lie about...why do men do it?

Why was he so secretive? So you didn't check his real age?

I didn’t even know who he was Oncey. I had a name and a given age but no surname!

Hi everyone, I’m just back on the apps. I’m 52 and have been single for a while. The problems I always have are these:-

A) I hate swiping and chatting and meeting people, I’d rather just ‘have’ a boyfriend than ‘look’ for one. It’s tedious and I feel uncomfortable with it.

B) I get very fixated on people (men) who give me attention. There was a man I chatted with last year. We never met despite me asking, and now I find myself searching in his area to see if he’s still around. I know this is bad but how can I snap out of it? It’s not him, it’s me. If someone gives me attention this week then I’ll also fixate on them.

C) I’m not particularly attractive, maybe a solid slightly below average. And I’m 15 stone but I’m trying to get a bit fitter for all sorts of reasons not just dating.

D) If I read this from someone else I’d advise them to go away and ‘work on themselves’ and come back being in a better place, but I’m completely touch starved and don’t want to do that.

E) What DOES ‘work on yourself’ mean? Specifically what do people do? What should I do?
