I've just had my phone call.
Quite excited by how it sounds!

3 men, 3 women go for dinner together. You don't know anything about the other 5 before you meet, except that they are within your chosen age range. Bit like First Dates but there's 6 of you.

Oh Nelly…this is exciting…please report back to the Mothership

Thank you LuckyLy… he’s on pretty intense therapy this time round. Going to places he’s not tapped into before. He looks a lot calmer but it’s early days…I’m not in a hurry to do anything. I love him 😍

Slothy…well done on slow dining date…this is how you get to know him better. Best wishes lovely 🥰….report to the mothership awaited

Thisisworsethananticpated · 24/03/2023 09:19

Slothmomma

what date # is this
any dtd plans ?

good luck 🍀

OP posts:
Slothmomma · 24/03/2023 14:16

Only second date. No plans to dtd ... yet 😆

Thisisworsethananticpated · 24/03/2023 14:28

sorry that was so blunt !

im finding that the ‘sex positive’ FEELD irons are very keen to accelerate this side of things hence why I asked 😂

OP posts:
PinkIdentity · 24/03/2023 14:37

Slothy…did you meet him in FEELD? I’m missing out on the gossip 😂😂😂

Slothmomma · 24/03/2023 14:40

No, just hinge 😆

PinkIdentity · 24/03/2023 15:10

Slothmomma · 24/03/2023 14:40

No, just hinge 😆

Ahhh…I did like Hinge…I thought the guys there are more straight forward and many really looking for relationship. Bumble there are guys looking for fun too and “separated but living together with the wife”…ahem…

qqq82 · 24/03/2023 15:11

Yeah Hinge is the one I use but I find it to be very quiet where I live
Tinder just scared me and I didn't last long on it

Slothmomma · 24/03/2023 15:25

@qqq82 hinge is quiet for me too - I'd say only a few profiles come round a day. I barely swipe any. Mr music liked me and sent a message about music - which we are both obsessed with - and we have since discovered we've worked at same place and have mutual friends

Thisisworsethananticpated · 24/03/2023 15:42

PinkIdentity

no its me on FEELD
sex positive they are 🙄😁

ill probably go back to Hinge

OP posts:
PinkIdentity · 24/03/2023 15:54

Worsy..😈😈😈😈…the day you go back to Hinge you will be totally sure

qqq82 · 24/03/2023 19:24

I'm still talking to the one who happens to work for the same company .
My friend did some detective work and found out who he is
We work in different offices but I'm still not sure how I feel about it
I've worked there 20 years and I've been there , done that , and have a wardrobe full of T-shirts 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

PinkIdentity · 24/03/2023 19:58

@qqq82 If he’s a single guy and has no girlfriend and is not your superior… if you both like each other a lot…I don’t know…I think you could go for a coffee or a drink and see how you feel??

NoDatingForOldMen · 24/03/2023 20:06

I think I’ve been on the end of a reversal, messaged a 49 year old last weekend, she got back to me last night, saying I was too old for her ( I’m 53), and she looking for men 45 and younger 🤷🏼.

Thisisworsethananticpated · 24/03/2023 20:10

NoDatingForOldMen

ha! She’ll turn 50 soon and she’s going to have to revisit that rule 😂

No shit…that’s like a lot of guys who only date women under 40 when they are 53… life.
Im sure you will find someone nice too…hang on on there

I reckon she's '49' as much as Kylie Minogue used to be the same age as me but has got younger over the years.

49 my eye!!

Well done on all the dates and positive news.

I'm a sad, bitter old woman just now so I'm not coming on here and bringing it down with my negativity 😳😂

@Definitelycross

I just a curmudgeonly old man
