Dating tips

Feel like I have been out of the dating game for so long, it's almost like relearning an entire language. 

My flirting skills are not so great... Any tips for a nice gent seeking a nice lady?

OUCH! šŸ¤£

If you get any decent tips please let me know.
Second time on here and even less success than last time...and believe me that's saying something.
It appears to me that getting past the photo stage is nigh on impossible. I might have a face like a smashed crab but I had hoped someone out there might see something in me!
Good luck in your search fella. It's brutal out there!

Are the blue eyed boys competing to write the cringiest, somewhat desperate, pseudo Mills and Boon romance posts?

Five minutes coffee meet ? .. I agree that this achieves more than a texting marathon. Across that table you take your coffee in both hands and look her directly eye to eye contact
You look to see if she meets your gaze . You look to see her mind working behind the orbs , You see if there is the nearest diversion of concentration. You register the colour of her eyes. You record in your mind her lashes and her eyebrows. . If all meets your criteria .. you are nearly there .. After that close encounter you will remember dream and imprint her eyes on your mind
Each time you kiss those eyes from that first contact will be the key to your intimacy and longing until you meet again xx

It starts with the initial chat online, then when comfortable a first meet. In a place that you both fell comfortable.
The just be yourself and if the person your meeting looks fabulous, then tell them.
The first kiss is always special. Whether it is just a touch of the lips or a slightly longer and lingering touch that just for that moment lights that spark.
Then look into her eyes if they are alive and shining like yours then the connection is real.
Its all in the kiss and I for one love to kiss.

I guess I had what could be classed as a second date with my guy. Def not a traditional date, once again with our dogs in the great outdoors. We've both been busy and both felt we needed an escape. Nothing better than being out there getting rid of the cobwebs. No one around to see us either.

Do not think dating has to be traditional, go with what you feel comfortable with.

Donā€™t take it personallyā€¦the interface will always change the wordsā€¦ it also deletes your old messages and it doesnā€™t always send the messages so Ghosting is not always the persons faultā€¦yes there are plenty of keyboard warriors and dickheads but take it for what it is ..

Hope this helps šŸ‘

Yes indeed a thick skin is needed! Ghosting is a pretty common occurrence. It takes nothing to say one isnā€™t feeling the connection and theyā€™re moving on- perhaps there should be a ghosting button that does this automatically - it doesnā€™t have to be called the ghosting button- could be the ā€œmoving onā€ button šŸ¤£!

Most surprising was shared a password with someone I was getting on with, the system put in a capital at the beginning, and then I got told by the other person that the pw was incorrect and straight away they blocked me so I couldnā€™t even clarify it šŸ˜².

Obviously there is enough bad behaviour to make people feel that it what hey have to do.

Anyone is going to need a thick skin on this site, Iā€™ve had some amazing chats, feel like weā€™re really connecting thenā€¦ gone. Blank. ā€œDeleted profileā€, or ghosted.
I wouldnā€™t mind if theyā€™d found someone and let you know butā€¦ thenā€¦ itā€™s start again.
Also gotta love the profiles saying ā€œmake me laughā€ and then give you monosyllabic answers. Best of luck is all I can sayā€¦ :D


Gunther73 - 28 Apr, 2024 - 11:52AM

Itā€™s really difficult if one describes themselves as ā€œniceā€.

Nice guys and nice women also have other attributes that they should highlight to make it easier to make oneā€™s profile stand out more.

But I also get that being a nice bloke can also mean that it can be difficult to stay out of the friend zone- a trap that many of us nice bloke fell into when we were younger and dating.

So as Iā€™m new to all this I can see why the OP has asked this but I donā€™t have any practical advice. Iā€™m hoping that by being on here it is more obvious that Iā€™m after more than a platonic relationship or a pen pal, but also look for people that I click with via chat first.
