Your dating rules

So who amongst us is going to crack first and ask vickymegalith where she lives 🙂

I guess a few were wondering if she was like like Professor Alice Roberts given her username!

I’ve already told my new partner she’s dumped if Alice gives me a call 😉

I freed myself from a cripplingly restrictive relationship early last year and have been single since at the age of 53. Never been as happy.

I’m free to ride my bike whenever I please, and go away practically every weekend.

Cant see myself ever looking for another relationship. It does help when you are very comfortable with your own company though.

Good luck to you all who are looking though and I really hope you find what you are looking for. I last did internet dating 8 years ago and it was a minefield then.

Thought we’d banned stealth ads? 🤣

Having been a bit “oh **** why did I post that?!” in this thread, and not been able to bring myself to look back again since Xmas until the STW newsletter (talking about the forum) today reminded me, it does actually give me lots of hope (not about dating specifically, but the world more generally) seeing there are loads of good people, being supportive to each other through loads of different circumstances that we all experience in life, on here.

I did start a tinder thread a long while back. Locked now obviously.

I’m still with the person I met on there, it’ll be 5 years this month. I’m 54 she’s 55.

She’s pretty incredible.

Called her to tell her I had leukaemia when the prognosis was initially bad to give her an out of she wanted to.

Her: “I’m going nowhere.”

Called her a few days later to say that I’d broken my cock due to the priapism but it could be sorted with an penile implant.

Her: “I’m still going nowhere but get it sorted asap Frankencock.”

That’s my girl. That’s my girl.😁👍

Typical isn’t it.

A girl says hello and a boy goes “yeah, about my penis…”

😁

There are loads of curmudgeonly old gits on here. But. It is generally all well-meaning, the argumentative arseholes (like me) enjoy sparring with other argumentative arseholes and it’s understood that This Is The Way.*

But it’s like a 90s metal club, if someone falls to the floor in the middle of a raucous mosh pit then everyone immediately slams on the brakes until they get picked up and ensured that they’re OK. We take care of our own.

Ok, that did major me laugh a little too much as you do have a point there.👍😁

You do you… I have more self esteem than to let someone else’s failed relationship continue to destroy my potential future ones. If people remain under the same roof for “financial reasons” once a relationship has ended, then the relationship hasn’t really ended and they’re not really ready to move on. If, like with my GF her ex was dossing under her roof and pleading poverty, scrounging off her good nature and pulling at their kids’ heart strings not to throw him out, well I had total sympathy for her but at the same time had too much self respect to put myself through it, so gave her an ultimatum… Thankfully she responded well to it, and the following morning applied for social housing on his behalf (the guy has been a burden of the state for nearly a decade now, can barely leave the house let alone work, chronic alcoholic to the point I am genuinely surprised he is still alive and he’s not yet 50, chronic emphacaema through chain smoking his entire life, you get the pic but he was ruining her life still even after she’d left him!) and he was gone within the week… Judging by the number of times he’s turned up blind drunk at our house demanding to see his daughter (who is free to go and see him at any time), usually when he’s upset her too, I was 100% justified in my actions.

So what you’re saying is the ex was a disaster area and is still causing issues despite them not living together?

Half your age plus seven.

If it floats, flies or…

I’m 54 this year….so 34?

I could legally be her dad. 🤯

Sasha Grey is 34…

Jus’ sayin’.

I didn’t know who she was, and foolishly googled her. Luckily, I’ve been on the forum long enough to take the precaution of going Incognito first

“No-one from work”

I’ve worked with quite a few people who’ve been in relationships with work colleagues, one couple now own quite a successful clothing store in town, having just moved into a larger space. I met someone at work and we hit it off really well, it was really only her deciding to take up nursing which entailed her moving some way away that resulted in the relationship ending; thirty years on, we’re still very good friends, we can strike up a conversation after not having spoken for months, and it’s like we only spoke a couple of days before.
Regarding tattoos, as I currently have seventeen, with more planned, it stands to reason that I would have no problem with a prospective partner either having tattoos or being interested in getting some.
Piercings, on the other hand, I have some issues with, some just make me feel a bit queasy and I make no apologies for that.

I went on a date with a lady and we agreed to meet at a pub.
It was her local, she had her own stool at the bar and her own tankard.
Maybe I’m a sexist pig but I found this a huge turn off and there was not a second date.

I reckon most women would feel the same if the roles were reversed, so you pass the equality test IMO.

Back on the market myself now. Half the “fun” is collecting little stories like that, eh?

Never date a cat owner, they are all batshit mental.

what if you are the cat owner? I guess it’s no dates for you

If they aren’t making time for you then they are probably making time for someone else. On to the next one…
