Date last night with Mr Nurse, met at 7.30 and left at 10.15. lots of laughing, lots of common and shared history. And definitely a spark. I asked to smell him (ADHD brain 😂), he smelt good!
No kissing, but I did point out to him afterwards that we should have snogged each others faces off, he agreed. Next date Sunday.

How exciting! I loved that you asked to smell him and that he agreed! Roll on Saturday!

Perfect update! Sounds good excellent! Love the sniffing and the next date already in the diary - this is how it should be, sporks and simple!

Fifthie please put pics where you show your whole length and figure. I used to pass on guys who only had headshots ( the reason for that is that they did not want to show their body shape). It’s good we are ok with who we are physically and show it off 😊. It is quite bad he lied about reason not to meet, it would have been so much nicer asking for when are you available next and say he really fancied watching the footie…

Will definitely try and do this - without ending up with those awful bathroom shots with the loo and toilet brush in the background haha!

OnceRuralNowUrbanbliss · 30/11/2022 13:53

I'm not sure if I fancy him @Mila14

Would be good if the slow burn results in scorching hot loins but need to step through the process.

Don’t force anything Oncey…wait to see how you feel and how you get your loins burn. I can’t possibly be with someone who doesn’t make me burn so i totally understand you are worried. He might be a superb lover…you don't know enough. It is concerning you are not counting the minutes to get naked in his arms though…I have no idea which way will you go but anyway you go, we are all here for you. MrCars or no MrCars. 😘

OnceRuralNowUrbanbliss · 30/11/2022 14:08

Thanks @Mila14 😘🤣

Yes I got to that place during his funereal absence at the beginning of the week - was perfectly great before he popped into my life.

My main concern is that he might be all mouth and very little trouser or all bark and no biting....

There's not much to go on but he talks of how much kissing/hugging there's going to be when we meet then each time (4 times) there just hasn't been. Some but minimal. It's an odd mismatch.

i think its Interesting how it’s at a different pace
and not a bad thing

also , I think if you like him and most importantly trust him - the chances are good ?

as you can relax and set the pace and communicate

he might be quite inexperienced also ? No shame in that but curious ?

Mila14 · 30/11/2022 14:27

explicit sorry

You know…guys who talk a lot of sex in my short OLD experience are usually crap. Mr O (the widower viagra taking 10 years older than profile) drove me crazy with desire…then we DTD and we all know what a night with a semi deflated cock that is semideflated for hours ends up…I got cystitis and never wanted to see the geezer again
The other sexy talker was Mr Wall who was a hermit and was not ready to date anyone.He was very attractive but he didn't want to be with a woman really, more like chatting sexy and stuff.

I think the best guys are those you lust after and talk 0 sex. You fancy them and want to open the present and get surprised by divine sex.

Mila14 · 30/11/2022 14:29

There’s a chance that these guys who talk so much sex and how i am going to be sooo haaaaard are professional wankers and porn addicts too. That is what i think of Mr O and Mr W. Reality does not compare…

5thWisdom · 30/11/2022 14:42

Oh @Mila14 your posts make me laugh so much! Haha! It's very true. The explicit ones rarely have the real goods to back it up - all talk no action!

The good ones rarely have to shout about it. I prefer a bit of discretion, a little cheeky flirt and tease in that department but nothing crude.

What is it with the profiles where they have 3 photos that don't even look like the same person?! It's so strange!

5thWisdom · 30/11/2022 14:50

Mr Boxer followed me on Instagram and I've just checked his account and I wish I hadn't. I was imagining loads of sexy crap and tacky topless player boy photos but it's full of the opposite. He comes across like a lovely person. We clearly enjoy the same activities and it's made me (silently) him even more. Damn.

Still swiping!

Fifthie, beware of those profiles…i think they post pics of when they were thinner/younger 10 years ago.

Keep swiping but meet MrBoxer too if you like. The only social media I checked with potential irons was linked in. No linked in, no date. Unless you are retired from Hedge fund work 😂😂😂

5thWisdom · 30/11/2022 15:04

@Mila14 you're ruthless! I love it!! Haha!

OnceRuralNowUrbanbliss · 30/11/2022 15:06

Thanks @Mila14 I think you might be right (inexperienced) but on the other hand as hasn't been married for 20 decades he's had more medium long relationships and shaggy bad boy times than I have.

Whilst hosting a daft crazy work call I've just called him out on his 'ooooo there's going to be so much snogging when I see you' turns out he's holding back deliberately so doesn't come across as a sex pest and also not brill at being tactile in public.

Hmm there's a lot of conflicting messages and actions going on there. It's very confusing and makes him difficult to read but also get to the truth of his motives etc.

OnceRuralNowUrbanbliss · 30/11/2022 15:14

Oh @5thWisdom you're going to have to meet him I think aren't you despite strange head injury and hosp swerve. It's an itch that has to be scratched or a thread that needs to be followed to the end

OnceRuralNowUrbanbliss · 30/11/2022 15:21

I'm not giving it much thought tbh I'm off the apps for the wintertide any way so might as well see how things go with the mysterious and genius MrCars. If he is autistic he maybe finds in person interactions more challenging than he'd like and can say stuff by text but then awkward irl.
This is my best guess.
He's now telling me how much he fancies me and how he prefers to get to know someone as a person as a higher priority than the physicals (which is the opposite of my tactics but tbh look how those all panned out - several beautiful but dire men later) I'm cool with trying a new tactic. I've got nothing to lose and no other irons and I find him very interesting

Oncey please…do not worry…see him and see how it feels ok? You are a sexy hot blooded woman and you meed someone that can be happy with who you are. I am very tactile, like you. I can’t be with a non tactile. You ate in discovery mode with MrCars..l

Last movie with MrEx in cinema we got carried away with the “tactile” thing. We can’t sit together in the dark and not assault each other. 😂😂😂. If i am ever going to have a different man i want him to fancy me crazy and SHOW IT to me…just like MrEx does.

OnceRuralNowUrbanbliss · 30/11/2022 15:30

I will report back once I've been to his for the first time on Saturday
Might end up staying. Have told him I can't (but I can)

5thWisdom · 30/11/2022 16:14

I've just Google image searches one match just now as his photos looked nothing alike and he's used a photo of a famous Greek actor as his main profile pic!!! You couldn't make it up!
