Sorry I can't see you on Thursday because ....

... there's nobody to have the dogs. Four golden retrievers. How bad is this? Nobody can have a relationship with Bob because he can't leave the dogs.

I don't have any animals so should golden retrievers always be watched?

I would pop out for an hour or two but probs no more

Bobs in deep with his dogs, leave him to it, you won't compare.

Background? Has he done this before?

Are his dogs his 'babies'?

I would not leave 4 golden retrievers alone for an evening. They would empty the fridge, invite all their mates over for a fur shedding party, slobber into the electrics, thus blowing the house up and prevent the firemen getting in by throwing themselves on their backs and demanding tummy rubs.

Do NOT underestimate GRs.

Bob's never going to stay over at yours.

You'll only ever be able to visit dog-friendly pubs.

Holidays? A tent, if you're lucky; you'll not get an airBnB to take large dogs.

Yes! I'm never going to get anywhere with this one.

Lol, guess single mums stand no chance then.

I don't get it?

I would love to meet his four Golden retrievers!
Walking date, perhaps?

You're saying that he has something he loves at home, another commitment, something he can't easily leave... and that's red-flag material, not to get involved.

Sounds awfully like a child... how are single mums meant to navigate this?

Don't do it I went on a couple of dates with an eccentric good-hearted guy, couldnt leave his dog cos the dog "cried" went on second date and the dog came with us. No third date.

Oh I thought you were looking for excuses...

because I've got lice.

Hmm 4 dogs sounds on a par with I can't leave the toddlers home alone.

Do you like dogs? If not, swap lice for fleas.

Gl!

How are single mums meant to navigate four Golden Retrievers? I wouldn't bother personally.

I didn't mention "red flag material".

How do single dads navigate them?

I bet Bob’s place stinks!

Bob’s a no! And unless you really love dogs, 🤷🏽‍♀️…

I’ll mind her babies sooner than I would be in a house with 4 dogs, so mama can go enjoy her date night.

I bet they all sleep on Bob's bed, too...

Great taste in dogs 😉

I love dogs, but 4 GRs? Sheesh. That's a lot.

I'd stop dating Bob, if I were you.

I’m the female equivalent of this😱 I like you, but I like my dog more…unless it was Ricky Gervais, I’d leave my dog at home for him.

Four dogs? You'll always be fifth priority at best. Don't bother.

Bob sounds great tbh - caring, responsible, puts his babies first!. If you like dogs AND Bob, you could offer to go round with a bottle of wine but take a bag of chewy treats to keep the pack content.

4 golden retrievers! He must always be walking or hoovering! I’d love to know what hoover he uses!

Yes but Ricky Gervais wouldn’t let you leave them on their own.
