It's easy days. She's possibly had her eye on you for years. Play it cool and try to avoid farting in front of her for a good while.
She might have to be fair, I've never had a stalker, that would be kind of cool!
Been out a couple more times since, all good so far.More interesting developments, her dad and mine used to work together. WTAF!? All this and our paths have never crossed. I'm wondering if we're related. They do say incest is the best!
We have spoken about farting, we both find it amusing. Next time I'm with her and feel one brewing I will let rip. Just to see if she's a keeper. She drives a Peugeot though, I'm not really sure that's forgivable.

Balls, didn't think I'd be posting in this thread again.
Back to the world of dating I go, much changed in the last year?
Go on what did you do?Back to the world of dating I go, much changed in the last year?
I'm just and a
hole, far too selfish and in all honesty I prefer my own company. Lasted a year this time though, week before we were due to move in together, so rather now than a week or two down the line.Over the last week I've been talking two girls frequently. I met one of the girls yesterday and she was really nice. She does live a wee bit away from me but it was nice meeting her. I asked her on a second date but we will see if anything materialises. Something tells me nothing will come of it due to distances which is fair enough. It's a good ego boast.
The other girl lives about 8 miles away so that's perfect and she seems really nice. We have been texting a lot and she has my Facebook and snapchat lol. I plan on taking her out this weekend to see what she is like. Seems really nice and has similar interests to myself.
I shall update if I go on a second with the first girl and how I get on with the second girl lol

First lesson of online dating - don't add them to your social media!
+1! And deffentionly don't mention her holiday photos from a few years ago!
Back on Tinder. Two dates sorted for Saturday, and trying to sort another one.
Still getting confusing signals about another girl I've been seeing since November. Says she sees us as friends but wants to still see how things go.
But others I'm talking to seem a good laugh.
I read this thread regularly but until 10 days ago I was not on any dating site. A younger friend showed me the success he was having on Tinder so I thought, why not? He said it's a game of numbers - just keep going. He also says join POF but I have not done so yet. I'm 46, never married, no children and never had an LTR. I don't want kids and I would like something longer-term.
I've set my range at 35-48 and a 45 mile radius (which encompasses many large conurbations). Younger would be great but I think that's unrealistic as they are unlikely to want someone closer to 50 than 40.
Initial thoughts:
Blatant fibbing of age seems rife. Many pictures of dogs/cats/horses. Roger Rabbit ears and noses applied to pictures. Many, many mothers (expected). Many insisting on 6ft plus (I am 5' 10"). Many claiming to be fitness mad and could not accept anyone who isn't (fair enough). Many pictures of two or more girls and it's not obvious who is advertising. Many pictures where the face is barely distinguishable.
That said, I have had 6 'hits' with messaging and I have one date lined up this Saturday with a 48 year old mother of two. I don't think she's that attractive but I need practice so I am going purely for that reason (and no one else has agreed to meet!). Of those 6 I think I may hear from one more and the others are dead-ends.
I've paid for the month and I'll decide whether to carry on or not after that. It's an interesting distraction but I think I've been solo for so long I may find it hard to adapt. Time will tell.

What are you paying for on tinder? I've paid for the month and I'll decide whether to carry on or not after that. It's an interesting distraction but I think I've been solo for so long I may find it hard to adapt. Time will tell.

No ads, ability to undo last swipe and so many 'super-likes'. Might be something else but I don't knowolly22n said:

Does 'big towns' sound better?

View it as such and crack on. Time spent with interesting people is worthwhile. As to adapting, you should know by now that there is more than 1 way to skin a cat. You don't have to settle for the 2.4 kids, a semi and a leased Audi A4. I know I haven't. Unorthodox relationships are fine, the only people you have to please are you and her. So do that.Trabi601 said:
First lesson of online dating - don't add them to your social media!
I've now learned that lesson I have one of them on social media and other has asked if she can add me. I'm meeting the second girl tonight so ideally the other girl can add me on Saturday. I don't want her known that I'm going on another date tonight. Tonight's date seems to be a bit Facebook happy so I don't want to be tagged in things and then the other girl sees it. A bloody dilemma. I'm taking the girl I met on Sunday to the cinema this weekend. I want to keep her sweet so I will have made my decision tonight on what one to keep seeing.
Saturday's coffee date has deleted me, so that's that. Not overly fussed but it would've been good to blow the cobwebs away.
Another contact has kept in touch, only two miles away apparently, but that could be ten miles the way Tinder does distance. Anyway she 'wants to get to know me' before a meeting. This is tiresome but I will play a bit longer because a) she's cute and b) there is no one else. This has been going on 4 days, so I really can't see the reason for a delay.
Otherwise I completed Tinder last night with no level ups. Is there a prize?
POF sounds like the next step.

If that's a euphemism, it sounds like you lost at Tinder. POF sounds like the next step.
Made a PoF account early last month. Started up with a guy. Just seem to have clicked in. He's lined up a great date/day out for Saturday. Should be interesting. I'll let you know Sunday...
