Dating after Lockdown

[bobthedragqueen]

Me too. He’s dishy send him my way

Also:


Ok so I found what could be my actual dream man. I’ve ran out of likes on hinge and didn’t wanna pay, so I think he’ll disappear from my list to try and match with. Anyway He plays rugby and I’ve found his rugby team and then his Instagram... fbi need to give me a job! Seriously (I sound insane I already know) but imagine explaining that on a first date (wishful thinking)

This is fantastic! I dare you to follow him

I had to take myself off the apps because i just felt unsafe. A guy made 7 different profiles he didnt message me on every one of them but i recognised the face and name everytime it's made me feel so uncomfortable so i deleted all my profiles besides the guy thats in a relationship im still hurt by it.

Wondering if anyone had any horror date stories? Or ever met someone that seems nice but is actually a sexist t**t in meeting them?

So guys, help me out with this one. Started chatting to this guy on Hinge a couple of weeks ago. He then asked for my number and we moved over to whatsapp so that we could arrange a socially distanced walk as we live close by. Really good conversation and bounced off eachother. He was replying to my messages really quickly and then saturday night said ‘so when we going to meet up for our walk’. I replied the next morning saying ‘how about next weekend sometime’. He read this within about 10 mins and then didn’t reply...and still hasn’t replied so it’s been nearly 3 days. I’m a bit stumped - why ask to meet up and then go cold? He did all the initiating and was really chatty etc so very confused. He’s been online since

 

[coconochanel]

Did you hear back?

No not yet, but I'm not sure if he's been online lately as hes not posted any pics for over a month.

Also his following total keeps changing like this morning it was more then yesterday but just nw it had gone down again. Do you think thats something to do with Instagram or he's online but just not posting?

 

[it’s not been changed?!]

Talking to this guy over the weekend. Moved to texting and wow he is so negative. Of course people don't have to like the same things but a lot of things I liked, he has just shot down.

Asked if i liked dogs. I said i never owned one but I have nothing against them. Said he thinks they are overrated and belong in nature and that people use them as personality traits.

Doesn't like formal dating as sitting opposite each other talking is the worst. Doesn't like getting dressed up or make up on girls.

I asked what he would rather do (if covid not around) and he said go for a walk. Doesn't drink or like going to bars. Doesn't like theme parks/zoos says they are boring.
I asked surely there must be other things you like to do with someone to get to know them and he hasn't replied/left me on read. Says it all really

Did he have a decent profile?!

Hows everyone getting on and regarding ghosted do they block you or just ignore you?

I’ve been just ignored, I’ve only and two guys block me and they were both actually insane looking back.

Is this happening to you?

 

[coconochanel]

So did you arrange to meet later or has he not replied to your text suggesting a meet up?

If he's agreed to meet later, I wouldn't worry.

yes we agreed to meet later but didn't say a time.

 

[misscl4]

No good will come of this, and I don’t believe I’m telling you something you don’t already know

But maybe I can’t find out why his brain works like that , trying to turn a negative into a positive

15 girlfriends. 15?????? 1.5. View attachment 481409

How does he not get caught out!! hahah!!!

 

[coconochanel]

I thought if it was public he would I get notifications if people who don’t follow me message me but it comes up as “message requests” but mine is private. I wouldn’t message both accounts as I think that’s too full on but I would maybe start following him?
Or maybe message him on fb?

Yeah I don't think I'm going to message his other IG account. I don't have a FB account I only use IG.

 

[realhousewivewannabe]

Has he tried contacting you at all?

Its so sad when people treat others like this! Hope you are okay though!

No! He has not spoken to me at all! Thank you x

@Wowitsme, very true I dread to think what could have happened! X

 

[leapricot]

Sounds like hes married/or has a serious partner, pop up food business in the middle of all this Covid stuff? really? Sounds like a bull shitter to me.

Haha no he really opened a food business (it's legit, I've seen it). But yes this is a very risky project to run during Covid. Especially with a lockdown just around the corner...

I didn’t want to sound like Skeptical Sally but I agree I really REALLY hope we’re wrong but I’ve seen very similar situations play out with my friends where they’ve met guys online who are fresh out of a marriage or serious relationship, then they’ve ended up getting back with their exes after a month or so and have gradually phased out the unwitting person who has found themselves in the crossfire. Again, I hope that’s not the case here but it sounds like a very familiar web he’s weaving and all the talk of “at the moment” and “right now” just sounds like he doesn’t want to take his foot off the boat until the other one is securely back on land so to speak.

Hey, so he was in a long-term relationship for 6 years but split up with her about 2 years ago and he hadn't had anyone since. He and 2 of his pals started this food business in July when pubs started reopening (they obviously did some market research first and some pop-up just before the actual lockdown in March). I have seen the business and they are legit

I started this thread and I’m now living vicariously through everyone’s posts I’ve not been on a date in so long (a year) I’m blaming covid for ruining my life

Does it come as “user not found”on Instagram !?? That’s crazy if he blocked you.

google or ask one of your friends to type his name up on Facebook to see if it comes up.

This is sounding fishy

No he just doesn't use his account. Just got my friend to look him up on fb and he comes up on when he searches but doesn't when i do so I've definitely been blocked on there. He hasn't blocked me on WhatsApp though which is the app we usually talk on and seemed fine with me before he went to bed.

Is his name in your search history on Facebook? Maybe he's just deactivated... super weird if he has blocked you. But also not hugely shocking cause guys can be weird.

I'd searched for so many other people and things that it wasn't in the list. Definitely blocked though because he comes up when my friend searches for him

I dated a guy who added me immediately and his facebook statuses made me cringe. He’d put stuff about wanking and stuff and he was 30

Jesus and I thought I had it bad

 

[Cocoflowers]

Just redownloaded hinge to give it ago didn't realise I've not been on there since november and had some awful messages

 

[Greencatfysh]

Yep I completely get that. He said to me that he wouldn't be happy if I was dating someone else at the same time, what a hypocrite! Think I'll keep my distance and not go this weekend.

Ha! Yes that’s called men wanting to have their cake and eat it too. It’s rubbish but they’re honestly like kids in a playground on dating apps so keep well away til you can be sure they’re super into you. My bf had a few other dates on the go when we met but then we both deleted the app together and I never had to worry about his situation going forward.

This is my problem, he said he would never lie as his dad had an affair on his mum and the divorce was in his teens and affected him badly. He can have his options open and have her!

My ex said this (although they never divorced, they just always acted like nothing happened) and that he was messed up from it so would never cheat. Still happily shagged someone else after a year though

 

[Suzesnooze]

yes we agreed to meet later but didn't say a time.

It's still quite early. I'm sure he'll reply with a time. How do you think the dates are going? Does he seem keen?

View attachment 532203My god, was this guy wanting to upload his CV and put it on Tinder by mistake? How booooring 🥱

Yeah sorry, this isn't LinkedIn my friend. 'Take work seriously' = uploads your CV on a dating site. I'm horny!!!

 

[KimKardash91]

How do you know he’s blocked you? Did you check his FB before your date today and now it’s gone? Are you two still talking to each other like normal and making plans for tomorrow?

Does he have insta?

Ask a friend or sibling to check if he is on FB. Then you have your answer. If you can’t do that, make a burner account and check lol
