Went round a pal's house for dinner last week and his lovely daughter (in her 30s) was there who I haven't seen for a while. Turns out since I last saw her she has got married to someone she met on Match.com.
She's very attractive, good job, great company etc so they are out there chaps. Bloke she married looks just like a normal fella too, certainly not Clooney-esque and not loaded or anything like that.
they absolutely are out there yes. She's very attractive, good job, great company etc so they are out there chaps. Bloke she married looks just like a normal fella too, certainly not Clooney-esque and not loaded or anything like that.
Referring to discussion on the last page, I wouldn't date someone who can't spell and use grammar, likely they'd think I was a w
ker... It wouldn't work out.
To what Tonker was saying back there I don't agree and tinder's doesn't have to be just for shagging, I average about one decent one every 6 months.
Probably not manly enough hitrate for Ph, and I don't really belive / care for some of the macho bullst that comes out on this thread... But in the interests of science, here is my Tinder game...
I flick when I'm bored, having a st, on a train etc. If we match I don't send any messages. I think I likely have 100-200 matches. If they start talking I'll have a chat... If the conversation fizzles out I don't stress and wait for the next one, but if it's going well after a couple of days I ask for a date.
Date usually initially for coffee so you don't look like a predator getting them smashed and taking advantage, then follow their lead. E.g. One we got hammered and straight to it, one we went to a brewery on 3rd date got hammered back to mine, one we had 3 dates and a kiss then started cooking Sunday roasts and staying at each other's place Etc... I've had a few 3-4 month relationships.
The last was an artist living on the poverty line... She was very inspiring but honestly we argued more in 3 months than in 10 years of marriage. After a blazing row when she was storming around with the Sunday chicken under her arm (thought I was going to get battered with it) we split up. Then 3 months later she wanted to meet, we went day drinking, had an argument in the taxi, did the wild thing, then she told me I wasn't serious enough about the relationship and she was getting on with her life
crazy whirlwind.
A couple of weeks ago a girl got in touch, we messaged and this week will be date 3. Lovely French girl, nicer than pictures, good job in similar field with relatable experiences. 1st date glass of wine and Vietnamese Street food. 2nd a day out at a national trust place - 1 hour drive each way, 4 hours walking which went well, 3rd date we're going to a decent cafe bar type restaurant with fancy food. I need to improve my wine game, so researching their winelist before we go.
So I hope that goes well... I think the key is not to be stressed, desperate and only after one thing. Then dating becomes fun.
It took me 3 years after leaving my ex to feel so relaxed (my old posts on this thread probably show that), and now it's a fun experiences.

That was my kind of dating experience. Decent girls and some a bit nutty although more got dropped (nicely) after the first date as it wasn't worth spending time going in the wrong direction for either of us. The most bizarre was a screwed up man-hating negative-aggressive nutcase who In her own word was a 'Cougar' - what an evening - I nearly walked out as anything I mentioned she hated but I stayed for the entertainment as the food was excellent and she was a Manager of 3 Barclays Branches how the heck she did that god knows. No conversation apart from who she was thinking of suing - neighbours, bloke at work, local garage, the lot. She had bad condensation at home so I over egged the reason as being her own doing ie showers/cooking etc and she exploded as it couldn't possibly be her fault. On it went but I felt sorry for her as she had no friends.
All in all a fantastic period of my life which ended in the best way possible and now 4 years of no arguments and a total breeze with the best in the world.

the way that reads you've actually settled down with the screwed up man-hating negative-aggressive nutcase cougar... is that right?All in all a fantastic period of my life which ended in the best way possible and now 4 years of no arguments and a total breeze with the best in the world.
One recent match on Tinder turned out to be particularly eyebrow-raising...
Matched a girl who's profile said she was 18 and seemed cute enough in her Tinder picture.
Alarm Bell 1 - obviously fake name, but I ignored this as a lot of girls seems to have made up names these days on FB (mostly student teachers to stop the kids finding them)
Exachanged pleasantries then asked if she had FB, to move the conversation off of Tinder. She says yes, so I add her.
Alarm Bell 2 - the Tinder picture was, to say the least, extremely flattering in terms fo both looks and weight
Alarm Bell 3 - turns out she's 16 and still in final year of school
Alarm Bell 4 - 2 statuses pop up in my feed, reading: "My counsellor discharged me because she thinks I'm doing well enough on my own" shortly followed by, "Jesus fking christ I got called in to the head's office to talk about my profile on a sugar daddy site and she said she has to tell my mum and wtf super scared now"
aaaaaaaaand I'm out!
