Did I ever quit ?
She's a smoker too. So the bad breath thing cancels itself out.
Smokers turns me on, because I'm Gallic as fuck sometimes.

[OnlyRegret]

read me like one of your french girls

Like everywhere in the West, it decreased a lot with current generations. Still pretty entrenched tho.

[Tasty]

Anyone else just wanna go on date with Vom now to get read?

..."now?"

[OnlyRegret]

I'm not even sure how Vom would categorize me. He'd have oxymoronic pins all over the political spectrum.

same, but it has a bit to do with my contrarian streak

Definitely has those in spades.

Politics isn't really big on my dating list usually -I always ended up with treading safe ground here without being out to do so- but I already know this looms large with her. We're starting to fly close to potential "wank mom" territory (as in "wank dad", not because of my horniness  ) and I think that could be an issue at one point (for me or her).

Our temperaments meshed really well, all being said, and I really look forward to our next date. Maybe thirst is lending a hand in that, ngl.

okay i have to ask. for those of you that are still some how going on dates (not with your GFs), how are you doing it? like...where do you even go during a pandemic where almost everything is closed?

Outdoor tables for bars and restaurants reopened here this week. Parks too.

Been talking to this chick for a few weeks on bumble, and realized she had never once talked about work. I though maybe she was like living off her parents money or something (she is like my age though, not in her 20s) but she seems like a private person, so I didn’t pry.

Anyway, she later told me she plays poker for a living and just doesn’t like to talk about it to people. I was like “oh that’s pretty cool!” And she said “it really isn’t, I’m so sick of poker. It’s the last thing I want to talk about.” It sounds a lot less glamorous when you think about it as a job.

I know two people that are ex-professional poker players. You'd never guess by the normal lives they lead but they had real interesting stories. Maybe one day you'll hear some from this gal.

I actually went over to her apartment to go swimming with our kids (they’re about the same age). She is nice but really scattered. I can tell she had some serious problems with the father of her kid, and it’s really affected how her life as played out. Which is sad, but I think it’s trending towards friend zone or taking it verrry slowly. I’m not sure I’m ready to help someone work through their deep-seated issues even if they are kind and relatively good looking. She also owns multiple articles of clothing with camoflauge patterns.

Also, I met another woman that I’m extremely interested in. I tried to set up a hike for this last weekend, and she turned me down for a virtual date instead. We talked on the phone for almost 5 hours last night, and I’m completely fried from staying up way too late. She has been single for a long time raising her daughter alone, so again, it will be a slow process. But having been divorced relatively recently I’m ok with that.

Parks, hikes, and walks for me. Actually I like that because I think it’s easier to keep the conversation going if you are “doing” something instead of just like sitting there staring at each other.

[VomKriege]

We're deffo into each other.
And a lot of communication, which is something I aimed to be able to, already.

[BisMarckie]

Good for you Vom, hope it works out for you. 

How the fuck do you end up at these topics on a date tho? Every date I had, just had the most inane chit-chat imaginable until both parties agreed or declined to fuck. 

[shosta]

Vom is the kind of person that writes theses on Ok Cupid

Respect tho, I'm the same way

That way you will end up writing like a book‘s worth of messages to Benji and nothing will ever happen. Meanwhile, I will tell him that I like sports and other dumb shit. I will caress his morbidly obese body within minutes.

She's mostly drove it here (or did she ?), though I also said I liked to listen podcasts about conspiracy shit, which obviously peaked her interest. She wears some of that on her sleeve too.

I dunno... I don't connect often but when I do it's always pretty intense.

[shosta]

Vom's about to eat that ass like it's a three course meal

[Ghoul]

What did you eat sounds like a good date though that’s cool man

[VomKriege]

My profile is pretty subtle and meaningless tho. (Maybe a bit bare in her opinion). I tried all types but I always feel a bit dumb and obscene writing walls of text and lists. Lists are the fucking worse, dreadful to read and really feel like parading and stretching thin whatever culture you have. And a lot of stuff feels trite. "I'm funny !" "I'm nice." Anybody can write that shit, I'd rather walk the walk than talk the talk.


Hers was pretty good and complete without being too long, I already had some good idea of who she was beforehand.

[kingv]

I prefer when a women puts enough on her profile to react to.

Really trite short profiles just don’t do anything for me, because I feel a need to write more than “hey there”.

I’m a 5’6” atheist leftist in Trump country, so I’m only getting by on either my income or my wit.

Seriously, I think the most politics I discussed with my last gf was about consent and women's choice and that was sometime just before or after the first time we fucked. I think most first dates I'm just hoping the person isn't boring or crazy.

Of all the apps I've had the most long conversations with people from Tinder during this whole thing. Albeit most of them were either one day things, or Tinder passport people. But! A lady matched with me Wednesday night and was pretty chatty but I guess she's had to work this entire weekend so that's kind of a bummer. But she's also already given me her number, sent me voice messages and a random selfie and said she likes texting me. I guess I gotta remember that things aren't always going to progress at the ludicrous speed that things did with my ex.

So I asked this girl if she'd be up to do a FaceTime date, before she was busy with work , and she agreed. I texted her a few times the next week or so, and she would respond but the conversations were generally pretty short, as she was still swamped with work. Anywho its been 8 days now since the last time so I've decided to put this in the dead column.

My girlfriend's profile was pretty sparse, I think she just used the match.com canned text, with a bit of what she did for a living and some TV shows she liked. Not a whole lot to go on, but I thought she was real cute and lived nearby so I sent her a quick message how she got involved in her field, and after like 2 or 3 messages she was already wanting to talk on the phone and meet up. As we dated and got to learn more about each other, we discovered we have extremely similar values... and getting to discover that on your own instead of being presented with everything about a person from the outset felt much more rewarding.

[toku]

good vibes tiesto

Boring, yes you should filter them out. Crazy though? I was dating a hot chick who I assume had borderline personality disorder. The most intense 4 weeks of my life.

You just need to make doubly sure to a) not get her pregnant under any circumsatances and b) not get involved emtionally and get out relatively quickly.

Du Lump.

[BisMarckie]

It‘s fine, that was like 7 years ago or so. Simpler times where this kind of behaviour was just some good old fun.

spoiler (click to show/hide)

I got out once I assumed that she wasn‘t just out there, but really had a personality disorder.

[close]

edit: She is doing fine right now, apparently she is a thot influencer on instagram

Not entirely unfounded

Had some work vexations yesterday so I said fuck it and decided to keep my Friday afternoon open to invite her and get quality time together before heading back into the mines. I'm confident it will be as great as we tease it to be.

Did someone have their account nuked again? I swear this thread had more posts yesterday.

I don’t think six feet would be enough distance for riotous-type individuals if you know what I mean 

[VomKriege]

Man, my date is complicated. 
She went to a weekend, texted me she'd rather we be friends and that we were too different. A bit of a let down but heh what can you do ? Not surprising because she wanted to think after last time. Went to dinner with her tonight, we finished kissing while she was waiting her ride. Gonna be alone this weekend and I said I could come keep company, she likes the idea.

We're horny for each other but she doesn't want to change minds but we're deffo gonna be all over one another if I go to her place. It's a bit strange because I want to respect her agency but I think she wants me to take charge. She told me several times tonight she can't resist direct contact from my eyes.

I'll try to free up my Saturday regardless.

[BisMarckie]

There is a line between respecting her agency and being passive though. My advice: go eat that ass.

[VomKriege]

I'll offer to pass by Saturday. She has some time to think about it that way.

[VomKriege]

 
It was a good idea.

[toku]

bless up

[Clockwork5]

My girlfriend booked a surprise Air BnB in the Smokey Mtns. for a few days to get my mind off of the bullshit in my life.  Packing my bags and not feeling sorry for myself for the first time in weeks. You know, I haven’t been great to her over the past few weeks, been to deep in my own head and too far up my own ass, but she is killin it. I gotta do better. Hopefully this change of scenery is going to help.

[VomKriege]

Man my date is mixing hot and cold. She's got a lot of issues to work through (maybe too much that I'd want to enter a serious relationship... I'd like to help her out but more as a friend than living as a couple) and it's not easy to plan when we see. Her physical needs tend to yo-yo too when I've been horny as all hell after we connected so well sexually. She was a bit intimidated by me having a fun of dirty texting. I'm burdened under work anyway so I might have to wait 10 days before seeing her because she's cold feet on coming over and me not being at my best.

I don't know if this is something I can make with too long. I'm not priapic or anything but it's a bit frustrating for me that we're out of sync with the intensity.

[Oblivion]

the meetup that i used to meet my current gf is apparently re-launching their monthly dating meetups ( ), and literally the only attendees are all dudes

[BisMarckie]

[VomKriege]

OK so there's a colleague (another) I always liked. I never was flirting, per se, but I'm always inspired to make her laugh which is how I hit on woman I guess and she is receptive. Never made a move because AFAIK she's living with someone. She called me for work, I made some good clown impressions on the phone and we had some banter, jokes and memes by text in the evening which included something about my childish humor being part of the charm. She's off work when I'll get there but she said she would very much like I keep texting her. You know... For memes.

I'm kind of an Uber Dunce, I certainly like to think I'm just THAT FUNNY but it really feels a bit like flirting.

Heh. Need to know where I stand with my current date first, I guess.

Never really thought I would have to deal with that

TL;DR : Keep posting memes, Biritos, the supply is a great help at making my exs, current and perhaps future partners laugh.

[team filler]

they never like my posts
