Ladies, tonight we have hit a new low in dry conversation.
A guy I'm talking to wanted a face paced honest question round. His questions? Do I like marmite and what's my favourite crisp flavour.
I. AM. OUT
Perhaps they were the warm up questions? I sometimes play 20 questions and start off a bit daft but then try to get more interesting. You have to be careful not to get too heavy, thoughLadies, tonight we have hit a new low in dry conversation.

The old skool smiliesI’m sorry what?! And who types like this anyway
since last March!! We hit our “anniversary” the other day. Obviously things would have been different if COVID never happened. I have children and high risk family members, I’d never risk their health and he has respected that the entire time.What is the longest you ladies have chatted/text with a bloke before meeting?
Back in the day, when I did online dating properly, I would communicate no longer than a couple of weeks before going on a date. The sooner the better for me and I'd always avoid incessant texting leading up to meeting.
Just wondered, though, if anyone has chatted for quite a length of time before meeting - maybe due to lockdown or even prior to Covid? How did it go? Expectation vs reality?
Are you planning to meet when allowed?since last March!! We hit our “anniversary” the other day. Obviously things would have been different if COVID never happened. I have children and high risk family members, I’d never risk their health and he has respected that the entire time.
We speak every day. Both of us have been there for each other with massive highs and lows happening throughout the whole year. Talk about how things are going to be different once these restrictions lift. It’s so strange. I’ve never done the whole dating online until I got bored after being single for 18months.
Never thought I’d click with anyone ever again. And especially that I’m a single mum. But this oneI’m myself with him and I’m the most comfortable I have ever been with someone.
Yes of course! He’s a police officer, I work for the NHS so sticking to the rules. I’ve been lucky enough to have my vaccinations so there’s one less worry for meAre you planning to meet when allowed?
I hope it goes well for you! All that build up, I'd be so nervous, but you must know each other well by now. It's not the same but I've found all my friends I made online, they were even better in person!Yes of course! He’s a police officer, I work for the NHS so sticking to the rules.

I am so, so nervous about it! I didn’t think I would be tbhI hope it goes well for you! All that build up, I'd be so nervous, but you must know each other well by now. It's not the same but I've found all my friends I made online, they were even better in person!

Oh I will!! I’m glad I found this thread tonight tbh. Just reading it has actually made me feel a lot more positive about the whole dating during/after lockdownWhat an amazing story! Please keep us updated when you make plans to meet. Wish you the best of luck
Yes, very best of luck. I've been conversing with a bloke since last July! That's why I asked the question originally. I would never in my life chat to a bloke this long. There is a big difference, though, as he's quite a lot younger than me and it was just meant to be silly, flirty chat. But he's stuck it outOh I will!! I’m glad I found this thread tonight tbh.

My one has seen about 15 different sides to me and always stuck it out too lol. I’ve been upset, moody, downright depressed and woe me. All sorts and he’s hung around. Spoken actual sense and allowed me to vent and rant lol. My favourite though was when I was pissed off with him about a stupid comment and me being me, got annoyed that he was calm and collected and just questioned why I felt that way. I was shook!Yes, very best of luck. I've been conversing with a bloke since last July! That's why I asked the question originally. I would never in my life chat to a bloke this long.

In my experience, people who do this are often projecting their own issues. I’ve seen it countless times before. What you’ve described here doesn’t sound like genuine concern from a friend who might be worried about you getting hurt. It sounds like snark from someone who is maybe going through a shit time in their own relationship and wants to plant seeds of insecurity in your head because misery loves company. If I were you, I would play my cards very close to my chest where this friend is concerned.
Most importantly, don’t let the negativity get into your head and enjoy yourself with this guy, it sounds like things are going well!
I think sometimes our friends are just scared for us. My friends can be dicks at times when it comes to men, but they often have my best interests at heart. I have an awful past record with men, and they just try to protect me. I'm not saying your friend is wrong but if he's watched you heartbroken or hurt, sometimes they just want to protect you.So I’ve started to tell a few friends about the guy I’ve been seeing recently, all of them are very very happy for me that finally I may have found someone! (My past record is pretty horrendous to say the least of wronguns!!!)
I have one male friend who im very close to (married with kids so can’t claim he’s jealous) anyway I’ve told him about him and he just seems ever so negative about the whole situation, the guy will come to mine as I live on my own so it’s a lot more private and he’s happy to drive to me until he moves into his place very soon anyway my friend told me never to trust a guy who won’t take you home, this comment has really irk’d me as when I explained the reason and he was completely dismissive, also tonight he made the “oh your boyfriend” comment and I explained that were were not together just “friends” and again he was negative, now I don’t know if it’s just me but we’ve only been talking since the start of the year and I’m not one to rush into putting titles on anything! I’ve been very hurt in the past so am happy the way things are going. I just don’t understand why people need to make these negative comments.
I try not to message for ages before meeting but with an ex we were messaging for about a month before we met. We ended up in a relationship but we were long distance so messaging was a big part of our relationship because of how far apart we lived. He was so different in person to what he was like when we were messaging. I ended up preferring his messaging personality to him in real life which sounds ridiculous but it was honestly like 2 different people!What is the longest you ladies have chatted/text with a bloke before meeting?
