Just when you thought it was safe - OK CUPID PART 3: The Return of the WOO!

FAO London ppl, JOIN MY BAND!

One of those weird cases where the gender neutral singular "they" makes no sense at all. Unless L-Jagz is advertising for couples now.

Not wanting to derail at all, but I can't honestly see how in context that 'they' is confusing. It makes perfect sense to me.

ha...so for the last few days i've been chatting to a girl on here and we're going for a drink next week. she's really fun and good to talk to and she is also incredibly beautiful, like kind of jaw dropping, i mean mega stunning.

without wanting to sound utterly devoid of self esteem (i have...some!) I keep wishing I wasn't away all weekend so we could meet sooner and hence there'd be less time for me to fuck this up! my main prob is we're exchanging messages a lot and i don't want to have it all burnt out by 7 days time...should I just hold off now we've agreed to meet..slowly tone down the messages a bit? or is that bad?

ah neuroses...

Ronan you're an incredibly witty guy - it's hard to imagine sending messages would be anything other than a very strong suit for you! I'd keep at it - if you drop it off you're risking being judged by a fresh first impression rather than a v.favourable one?

thanks a lot! yep prob better to keep talking, I guess just surprised to meet someone I really like on this site.

I am in a remarkably similar position - the someone v promising is morelike vvvv promising - also I cannot think about them (lol) until 1pm so ban me or w/e

godspeed ronan - imho keep the flame burning, just talk about amusing inane stuff if need be

me and this girl sent each other gifs until the flame burnt out

oh how it burned

giforrhea?

a+

high warning: i could become unbearably squee over the next coupla weeks depending on her very next email/our planned cityscape poetry ramble

her? i mean THEIR. dammit.

it would be funny if it was the same girl

don't terrify me

i know...lets not discuss this any further!

although if i'm anything to go by, if there's someone i click with online, anybody else i'm talking to is kinda...deprioritised, shall we say - i'd imagine most people are the same, so if yr having rly upbeat regular chatz with someone it's reasonable to assume you are the one they are concentrating on too

DEFINITELY.

i don't get the "their" comment

emil.y and kate mithering upthread

you don't know if it's a girl or not?

but yeah exciting times for ilx's london bachelor brigade - autumn is truly the classy season for romancing imho

gf has moved down to college for a year, considering this tbh

KIDDING, sheesh

you dog

he just wants an excuse to objectify women imo

gonna be doing a lot of objectifying women yh

by that i mean we the strapping menfolk of ilx

i thought you wanted the woman to use the strap-on, L?

Stop this, right now.

sorry - i got confused about whether i was posting in this thread or the pubic interest one

squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ok you guys. EVEN GIVING ME EMPLOYMENT TIPS

dude i gave you employment tips!

objectify u-35 men as possible recruits for five a side a lot quicker and more ruthlessly than i objectify any other category for any other reason tbh

so like you look at them and say, "have you seen the ass on that one?"

squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ok you guys. EVEN GIVING ME EMPLOYMENT TIPS

You're becoming a live sex show performer, Louis? With pegging as your specialty?

in one

<3 Christine!!

so like you look at them and say, "have you seen the ass on that one?"

not a prerequisite for a decent five a side footballer tbh

:-B

my god - ilx can you bear with me for the next 4 or 5 days as I attempt not to jinx the most so-gonna-happen thing of my life

That depends. Can you shut up about it for the next 4-5 days in an even better attempt not to overthink/overdiscuss it which will effectively be jinxing yourSELF?

that is sage advice, not a word more

so gwan who is she?

storming her castle on yr white steed

I wish you good luck with her.

oh god i have to go on a date today

protip -- try escalating to aim after a few messages if yr feelin it. its more casual and no more anxiety over writing/waitingfor replies

or just meet them IRL

christ I can't sleep I'm so excited

agreed lewis IRL is the ultimate goal but a lot of people are still too apprehensive about the whole 'internet dating' thing to escalate that quickly. YMMMMMMV
