Summer is going to be great for OLDaters and friends

The Rules:

1.The first rule about the dating thread is don't talk about it with people you're dating.

1. Develop a thick skin.
2. Do not invest emotionally too soon.
3. It's all BS until it actually happens.
4. Trust your gut instinct.
5. People vanishing, lying & being generally weird is not your fault.
6. Know your worth.
7. If it's not fun, stop.
8. 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

@spotsandflowers that is an exciting update!

@NervesOfCotton all okay here. Still seeing Mr Music, but no date set for the next time I see him due to kids/life/work! Hopefully see him next week.

@wtp that’s progressed! Hope it continues:)

Thanks, I think we were both surprised at the connection & chemistry!

A big bonus is we are only 15-20 minutes apart

Well I deleted my Bumble account then opened a new one with same photos at details about myself and suddenly seeing loads of men I’ve not seen before - very strange.

Got a few chats going - no standouts as yet but I’ll keep chatting and see where it all goes.

Thanks @LittleFloatingGhost I'm very happy

@WtP That sounds very positive

Also @SamW98 it's all about the algorithms apparently.

Nice that you're finding new prospects though

Can the next thread be named 242 like all the previous threads! (i dont know how to create a new thread)

I'll make a new thread now
