The Dating Thread 61 - High Summer High Jinks 🍾🥂

[Nosdacariad]

The Rules:
-The first rule about the dating thread is don't talk about it with people you're dating
-Develop a thick skin
-Do not invest emotionally too soon
-It’s all BS until it actually happens
-Trust your gut instinct
-People vanishing, lying & being generally weird is not your fault
-Know your worth
-If it's not fun, stop
-Loo update is mandatory
-No dating the thread
-Treat others as you'd like to be treated
-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
-The things you choose to ignore/ tolerate now are the reasons you will break up in the future
If you're wondering if you're being too picky/should give another chance after the second chance/should try harder - the answer is invariably NO! You're not and you shouldn't. If this, now, is as good as it's going to get, the A game, then do you want what comes next?!
-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*

I am OK thank you - though I am sitting out on the green outside my flat, and I must admit the fact that there are loads of families out playing is making me feel reassured - I would feel slightly on edge if there was nobody about!

But I don't think there is any need - fortunately we didn't have any kind of discussion about where I live, plus he lives quite a distance away thank God so he wouldn't know my area and be able to put any clues together about my location from stuff I might casually have mentioned (if you see what I mean).

But I hate that he has made me feel even slightly unsettled like this! (And the irony, of him saying I was the one putting him at risk...... )

@Ilovelurchers I am so glad you didn't meet him.

I'm so sorry he behaved this way. Please feel free to just block next time 💜

I saw Planescrash driving his car. He looked confused when I waved. Like old man confused.

Thank you. You are right, I think I worry too much about the feelings of men who have already shown themselves to be boundary-trampling manipulators.....

I really wish you could leave a message then block but they could still see the goodbye message. But on all the apps I use, as soon as you block the chat disappears. I need to just toughen up about that - it is what it is.

Meanwhile, Planes. Does he ever drink drive, or would he, do you think? That was my first thought when I read this post - obviously I may be being grossly unfair, even to the Crash .....
