Blimey you’re deffo getting your money’s worth from bumble!I agree with the issue about them clearly soft ghosting you but don’t want to face up to the fact you aren’t right for them. SO. Manchester Man is soft ghosting me for sure, he doesn’t check in with me and if I ask him what he’s doing / how he is, he doesn’t really ask me. Anyway. I’m not going to text him today and he will probs tell me he’s rough!I think we are better suited as friends for sure.
Anyway I’ve got my date with Channing Tatum lookalike tonight, I’m excited. I’m driving so I won’t have anymore than one wine but it’ll be nice to get out
I’ve also been talking to this guy who is REALLY full on, he works right near my work too. He asked me on Friday if I wanted to meet for lunch and I just said I couldn’t cos I was so busy. He is really complementative towards me but not in a weird way as if I’d think it’s a red flag- he said I’m beautiful and he doesn’t get how I’m single& he’s glad we matched. I just was honest and said I’m really all or nothing and it can put people off, which I am! And he said he is too and some women see it as a bad thing. I think I need to find someone who is similar with me and neediness
He wants to take me out on next Saturday so I will just see what happens tonight. I am enjoying going on dates again and meeting new people. However I’m struggling slightly to keep up with talking to 3 men at once!! (Younger me would say “don’t hate the player, hate the game”)
i second all of thisBlimey you’re deffo getting your money’s worth from bumble!
Make sure you take some time out to emotionally process what’s going on, I know you say you’ve lost interest in Manc man but you may have been quite emotionally invested to sleep with him, so being soft ghosted might hurt a little. I’d say tread a bit careful with ‘full on’ man too, just in case. xx
Oh no don't worry at all, they read perfectly fine.i bet it isi’m sorry, i wrote my original replies mid-walk and didn’t mean for them to read so to the point. it’s difficult when you invest time in someone and they won’t fully engage with what’s going on, especially if your feelings are clear. hope you’re okay
No. I feel like pictures should be more natural, out at a restaurants / bar? On holiday? With friends? At a concert/event/party/festival maybe. Just a good old selfie or mirror picture also works. Mines a mix of some of those suggestionsHas anyone gotten their pictures taken professionally for their dating profile?
I tend to swipe left on professional photos as it screams fake accounts unless there is a mix of bothHas anyone gotten their pictures taken professionally for their dating profile?
I wouldnt personally be offended; I wouldn’t really give it a second thought tbh i don’t think (like in a relationship, not a random date.) Is it his usual sense of ‘humour’ (admittedly not particularly funny here.) is it the old bit or the filthy bit that’s pissed you off? Maybe I’m just being dense and missing context, only had 3 hours sleepWould you be offended if someone said this to you..? “You’ll be a filthy old woman soon.”
I was out yesterday and the girls set up one of those dirty quizzes for one of them that’s getting married. I sent him a pic of it and that was his reply. I didn’t take it well and it looks like we’ve fell out over it.. Not getting on at all.
I’m early 30s if it makes any difference.
100%! I would be soooo offended! I once kicked off when a bloke said that I should start thinking about kids and I’m in my early 30’s too. If you wouldn’t say that to a man, don’t say it to meWould you be offended if someone said this to you..? “You’ll be a filthy old woman soon.”

Was it not a joke because you were doing a dirty quiz? I mean it’s not funny but I don’t think there was ill intent, it sounds like it was in context of what you’d sent him?Would you be offended if someone said this to you..? “You’ll be a filthy old woman soon.”

I kind of would be but I know I'm quite sensitive (if that's the right word) to men being weirdly obsessed with women's ages. Depends on if there was any other context or background, like an in joke between you or something?Would you be offended if someone said this to you..? “You’ll be a filthy old woman soon.”

i second this @candyland_Was it not a joke because you were doing a dirty quiz? I mean it’s not funny but I don’t think there was ill intent, it sounds like it was in context of what you’d sent him?
But also, you’re allowed to get offended by anything. I imagine this is more because you’re both feeling quite vulnerable right now? So it’s a symptom rather than the cause
Aww.. Good for you! Enjoy your dayMorning all!
Hope you lovely lot are doing well!
I have to share something with you because honestly I am bursting with pride for myself right now...
So, as per my last post me and the guy who messed me up earlier this year spoke and patched things up. Then he invites me out today to walk the dog. My instant reaction a couple of days ago when he asked was a resounding yes.
But then I'm lying there this morning remembering how horrific my life was earlier this year because of him. The anxiety, the depression, the self loathing. And I'm thinking I don't want that in my life anymore, I've come such a long way and realise now that my peace and happiness is far too precious... so I cancelled on him! I never thought I would do that and up until we started talking again I had been missing him. I see this as a lesson to show me that I don't need him back in my life and more importantly I've made such progress to know I deserve better
I'm on cloud 9 my lovelies! I'm spending the day relaxing in the garden with my new self help book x
