The Dating Thread 62 - They'll be FALLing for you 💖💕💘

[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*

Thank you

Ahh its a pop song, by sombr - 'i like you but my body isnt ready' - I havsnt lost enough weight! X

Will pop some photos of dcat and nice things and dive in

@Ilovelurchers placeholder as at supermarket to say I read your comment and I feel you on the dickhead boss and the crying.

Sending lots of love xxx

You need 6 photos??? Incl body ones??

Yes it seems so - uploaded them but have already paused the app, so my profile cant be seen

Will get back out there but not today 😅

OMG! What are the chances? 🤭😆

Honestly, I would be brave and represent yourself exactly as you are. Guys want to see you as you are. The more accurately you portray yourself, the higher the chance of the person liking you in person when you meet.

Your body is ready for the right person.

But if it's not ready for YOU, then I would recommend working on that first then hitting the apps when you feel more proud and confident about showing yourself off.

Thank you - youre bang on, I did this, and posted a full body photo! Completely agree theres no point in not being clear.

I did get one like! A plumber from the opposite side of london. Hes handsome! But i've kept my account hidden for now to lose some more weight xx

Nice one! A handsome plumber sounds like a catch!

@MsJinks @Ilovelurchers there are some fabulous lines on here.

Comedy gold indeed - what is he, Bagpuss!! (That dates us!)

@whoremembers when I met MrX he didn't care about my weight and I was around 100lb heavier than now. There was lots else wrong with him but I'm saying as the others have that the right man will love you and fancy you as you are.

@MrFlintstone were you around for the Planes' harem story? Did I ask what your view was on popping over to the ex's for drinks?

@BoxOfCats great job venturing into the wild!

Yes I read all about planes harem (the fool), I don't know if you asked me about going to ex's for drinks, I might of missed it 🤷 to be honest.

Is it something you would do 1:1 if you were in a relationship?

It's a bit moot as she has since told me she's pretty exhausted by him but it was more the sense I had of his hankering for her that bothered me, plus it felt disrespectful.

If I'm in a relationship, I would never go out 1 on 1 with another female, to me that's a form of cheating, as I would be giving another woman my time and energy, which should be reserved for my partner.

Thanks MrF. I wasn't going 🍌🍌🍌then! Though it was at her house where she lives alone.

How are you getting on?

I know - in a bizarre way it was sort of funny? But obviously I felt really bad.

I don't know if his kidney had actually been stolen on a date. Hopefully not.

I wouldn't step foot inside another woman's house alone, that's just pure disrespectful.

I'm doing fine, I'm still on FB dating but still not getting anywhere, but I'm fine with it. I might look at other apps at the weekend.

Thankyou for asking.

Hahahahaha this would make a stand-up routine!

Hinge is a bit less murky than fb dating.

I'm working my way thru last couple of days but this made me laugh so much about the 'Don't dare swipe if you're not going to reply/message first' 'No ONS need apply' 'just looking for kind feminine attractive lady who appreciates old fashioned values and wears dresses and skirts' .....and all the while the pics are of the most badly made man you could ever imagine. The anger and ugliness Dripping off the page, whilst demanding the entire world. I just can't with these guys 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Hi, it's been a while but I've been lurking in the background as love these threads & you amazing bunch of women (& Mr F)

@Nosdacariad I've never mentioned it if I've seen someone i know on OLD. I even had a work colleague like me on Bumble (presuming the ones where they say you missed a match are genuine) I've sat next to him in the office since & just pretend I never saw it.

@Ilovelurchers hope your mum is ok. And also that you're ok after your boss being a dick to you!

@BoxOfCats I think you were really brave going to the singles event on your own, I'm not sure if could do that but glad it went ok!

@CleanShirt I'm having similar re texting with Mr Smile... when we were seeing each other earlier this year he text all the time. Good morning & good night messages, calls on his lunch break etc. This time round the texts are daily but much more sporadic & rarely calls me. I'm matching his effort but it is making me anxious. When we're together everything seems fine, we generally see each other a couple of times a week , spent the entire Aug bank holiday weekend together doing fun things. I'm getting in my head a bit though & keep wondering if he's having second thoughts like he did earlier this year. Time will tell I guess...

In other news Mr Sport unblocked me and sent hi xx the other week 🙄 I've just ignored him, he was obviously bored. Plus I'm not wanting to chat or date anyone other than Mr Smile, just hope it is just my anxiety and not him actually having doubts... x

How long has it been with Mr Smile?

Just super lol

I saw a profile

"After six years of no sexual activity I'm really ready for it now"

😱😱😱

Nooo the feet guys get Real weird, Real quick!! I've cropped my feet in high heel sandals out for this very reason. They don't just like the look of women's feet....they message begging you to wear tights/socks/trainers for weeks on end and post them to them 😭
I won't post it but I have a screenshot of a guy wrapped neck to toe in a manky blanket ugly mug on show, all bio says is "just here for smelly tights and socks thanks" 😭

4 weeks this time round.
Earlier this year around 3-4 months x

Omg, too funny re age compliment 🤣

Omg literally me, so pleased to see it's not just me ✊️
