Thanks for the suggestions.
Bearing in mind that we met in a muddy field, at a dance music festival, heavily under the influence, and spent about 6 hours crammed into a 2 man tent with 2 other people, I don't think she'll mind if I don't take her to the Ritz.. I've got a feeling she's the kind that would be happy just about anywhere as long as the company is decent.
And technically we've already had the first kiss but I'm hoping to remember the next one...

It's gone a bit quiet here. Any more funny profiles we can reverse image search on please? 
Shame that you can't post links to Tinder profiles. What sort of woman goes on any sort of dating site and only posts pictures of giraffes, flowers or just their dog?I've generally not been bothered about dating over the last few months, summer holidays was all about time out and about with my sons. Had hidden my profile on PoF earlier this year after a few dates with a total bunny boiler and only resurrected it a couple of nights back, figure its time to get back into the "groove".
maybe this will help if you arent having much online success..

One that matched with me this morning on Tinder has now given me her number. She is best described as a cougar .... when she asked for more pics, I wonder what type of pics she's wanting ...

Second date tonight, half South African, half Bulgarian chick, huge knickers, probably totally mental.

Had a date with a copper yesterday, worked my local patch. Lasted under 20 minutes, seriously - what is it with them only being able to talk job? I swore a bit, spoke about misbehaviour and messy nights out, she bailed
Note - if they say they're a public servant, they are, just not as you may think.

You're using quite a broad brush to paint that picture. Date the person, the individual. Nothing else matters.
(And old blokes are awesome, btw...)
Ok, put it this way; would you date a woman 16 years older than you, who was kinky (assuming you were not)?(And old blokes are awesome, btw...)
Since being dumped by my ex of 8 and a half years, two years ago, for her to go out with our previous housemate, I've been paying attention to these threads on here. It's been brilliant to know that there are others out there in similar situations with similar problems, and the comedy gold had eased my fears about dipping back into the dating pool. So please go easy on a long-term reader but lurker on these threads..
I tried the standard dating sites, and tried paid subscriptions to a few of them without any real success - too many unicorn hunters and ladies that I plainly didn't find attractive. There wasn't much luck for me at that stage from those sites. Probably could have improved my profile there but the effort required wasn't appearing to be worth it, and sense of rejection was palpable from those sites. The cute girls were inundated with guys and didn't do well with responding, and those that had the time to respond weren't what I was looking for.
I've found Tinder to be amusing and a lot more productive for dates than any of the "real" date sites. It's been great for random hookups, including one weekend of three girls on three nights, one of which ended up being a "buddy" for the past 4 months with no intention from her of her taking it any farther. Exactly what I needed when I wanted it, and I was still getting matches and chatting with the girls..
Apparently I've got a bit of a talent for the filthy texts based on what a few of the girls said after wards. One useful benefit of that was that the last girl that asked for filthy texting ended up phoning me for phone sex a couple of times. Something that couldn't have happened with the regular sites as the admins try to keep that behaviour off that site.. Had about 8 or ten "real" dates with ladies from Tinder matches but none of those progressed past the first date. It's hard enough to gauge when your match is interested in playing the filthy message games, and how fast to progress things there so she's not going to get horrified and run away.
As it is now, the real conversations that this latest Tinderella and myself have had, we've met up in real life for non-sexual dates as it appears there's enough of a real spark between myself and herself there to pursue a proper relationship. The sexting has made things a lot less worrisome about the meeting in real life as we both know that our minds work in very similar ways, and we both know that there's a real attraction there. The first meetup was deliberately set up by both of us to not lead to jumping into bed, and we called it a night before we lost the run of ourselves and ended up in bed. She has her reasons for not wanting that at this stage and I'm happy with that pace of things.
There was a good set of threads - on a bodybuilding forum of all places - about how to succeed with Tinder, and the advice given was certainly accurate and useful for getting a good return rate for swipe-rights. I'll see if I can dig them up..
How have the lurkers on these threads found the comparison between the mainstream sites and Tinder so far?

Calling all London daters...
I met a girl at Creamfields this weekend who's from Tooting and we've arranged to go out next weekend (Friday or Saturday night) and I need some ideas. I don't date in London that often so can't use the tried and tested haunts.
So far I'm thinking The Breakfast Club followed by Mayor of Scaredy Cat Town as I was telling her about the fridge door entrance thing and she didn't believe me. She's never been to Tower 42 so I might take her there for a drink - I've found the lift ride can be a great place for a first kiss (assuming you're alone), but drawing a blank after that. Any good ideas?
ETA: I think I meant Heron Tower? The one with the Sushi bar etc whatever it's called. Bloody city skyscrapers.

Taking a girl you're hoping to impress anywhere else in London these days is a bit cheap.
Although I'll vouch for the cocktails at the Skylon. Awesome.
Think I'll work on my chat up lines today...
"That's a nice dress but it will look even better crumpled up at the foot of my bed."
"Hey, is that a mirror in your pocket? 'Cause I can see myself in your pants."
"If I could rearrange the alphabet, I'd put U and I together."
"You know what the difference is between sex and conversation? No? Want to go back to my place and talk?"
"Why don't we go back to my place and play house? You'll be the door and I'll slam you."
"Excuse me, madame. You have the look of a sophisticated, classy woman in need of a good hard dicking. I'll (happily) write you a prescription."
