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

I didn't think that I'd made my somewhat ambiguous reasoning clear. I apologise if you think that was argumentative.

OK, I understand.

yeah, conrad, baggy neck. I'm sure I'll have one myself before too long. The rest is fine though ;-)

Lying with no reason to lie is, well... I was gonna say weird, but it's not so much weird as a caution flag. I have had some real problems with habitual liars, and one of the signs of habitual liars is that they lie over stuff which they have no reason to lie over - *and* the big stuff.

absolutely! i'll sometimes lie about completely trivial things to random strangers, probably because i have a knee-jerk instinct to be completely honest, and the lying is just a way to test my ability to counteract my instincts, but that's a completely different thing than lying to someone you care about.

Apology was very half-hearted. Age is just a number, blah blah. Feels guilty I think about the trust issue, but not guilty enough. Going away 10 days, will see what happens after.

Now you need 10 days of not thinking about him at all. Bar the doors.

Someone asked me out via match.com (which I never, ever visit) and we're going out tonight.

ha, i had completely written off okc but someone v promising messaged me today out of the proverbial

the most promising bit is that they are potentially interested in being in my band though - that is more impt than 'dating' atm

how is your band coming along?

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

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?
