Sorry I’ve been MIA. Since I’m not dating, but in a relationship, I decided not to post until there was big news, either good or bad. Right now, things are going splendidly, so I don’t foresee bad news coming. Fingers crossed.
Shake – that’s so gross! I’m sorry that happened. ICK!
Money – I’m glad you’re having a nice time even if you don’t have the spark. It’s good just to meet people.
Cleo – I hope you have a great time on Sunday. Afternoon delights are the best.
Ver – Good luck on your upcoming date.
And Mylaray, good luck on OkCupid.
I’m glad things are going well, ktfran!
Everyone going on weekend dates, come back with updates 🙂
Although shake,that kiss sounds mortifying. Ugh. I’m not a big kissing fan anyways, so that would be a deal breaker for me.
I don’t have anything too exciting…I did dinner with my FWB last weekend and had amazing sex per usual. He’s in touch with some girls for our possible threesome. Oh and we are going out this weekend for my best friend’s birthday.
Oh and Tuesday night I had okay sex with my coworker.
…so yeah, still just sleeping with guys 15 years older than me or sit near me in the office.
Thank you all for sharing! I like to picture us in a group, drinking wine (or beverages of choice) and sharing stories. 🙂 And Shake, a bad kisser is the worst! Especially a slobbery one. Run fast from that one.
@kare Oh, it definitely was a dealbreaker. I’ve already sent him the “let’s be friends” text after he texted me the next day. My roommate suggested that I try and teach him, but if you make it to age 30 and that’s how you kiss? I think he just likes it that way; he seemed so into it. Ack.
Anyway, I have not had sex since things fell apart with my Latin lover. Maybe I’m maturing because my usual response to heartbreak is to slut it up. But I was also in the process of leaving my old job and starting a new job and had to have emergency surgery last month too. I guess I was so stressed that it basically killed my sex drive, but now things are settling down and it has returned. :/ So I’m going on another date tonight, but I’m not excited about it at all. I found out that he’s a recent transplant, and my city is full of them, but it’s annoying to date them. They don’t have any friends or know good places to suggest for dates. I always end up feeling like a tour guide, but I’m trying to keep an open mind.
There’s an episode of sex and the city where Charlotte tries to fix a bad kisser, and it didn’t end well. (Not that life and tv are the same, but still)
I think everyone processes things differently. After one serious relationship, I went a little wild because I felt so undesirable for so long. But after going through some stuff last summer with a guy I was really in love with, I didn’t do anything for awhile.
I hope your date is fun. I could never be someone’s guide to the city…despite living in my city for 4 years, I know surprisingly little about the trendy places. I always go to the same dive bars and restaurants and stuff.
I was able to “fix a bad kisser” with my ex husband, but he was awful because at 28 he just… hadn’t done any of that. He’d really never made out with anyone before. But he took direction and learned quickly.
Ongoing bad kissing is a major dealbreaker for me. I lose interest pretty quickly if there can’t be enjoyable makeouts.I didn’t end up going to nerd prom last weekend. Physicist and I went to a movie (finally saw Dead Pool! So good!), then he took me out to a really nice dinner, and we went to a comedy show. And he bought me a coat, which was… weird, but sweet. It seems like he has… a lot of money, maybe? I’m not sure how to feel about it. I’ve always been some level of poor.
Either way, it was a pretty fantastic day.
Hey all! I came across this story today and it made me think of all my DW friends online dating and had to share it. Pro-tip: If he asks if you’re on birth control BEFORE your first date, MOA.

Omg Lianne! That’s gross. Not to mention his “I’m a doctor, I think on a higher level” stuff. Ugh!
Shakeourtree- Slobbery kisses are gross. No no no. I have been there (received, not given them!) and it’s awkward trying to hide your disgust and wipe your mouth afterwards… I also hate feeling like a tour guide too. I totally know how you feel!
Ugh what a creep. I was chatting with a guy on Bumble a couple of months ago. It was going well, so I gave him my number when he asked. Then he started making comments about my boobs…ugh. Lesson learned: do not give guys my number until I have actually met them.
It’s all tumbleweeds and crickets (crickets riding tumbleweeds?) over here for me on the dating front. I deleted all my apps besides OKCupid and CMB and even those I don’t go on very often. I went on the Most Boring Date Ever a couple weekends ago and he wanted to go out again tonight but I just honestly didn’t want to.
I’ve had some upheaval at work and I’m also preparing to go to LA in April (when I’m planning to see the Salesman from Christmas) so I’m basically just doing a lot of preparation for that. If I meet someone before then, great, but I felt over-saturated with men who weren’t a good fit for me and like I was spinning my wheels, so I’m taking a legit break for awhile. It’s actually nice not to have to expend mental energy on dating for the time being.
@ktfran I was assuming since you hadn’t posted much that things were going well. I’m glad my assumption was correct!
@shake I dated a bad kisser for a hot minutes last year and it didn’t improve. It was bad. I’m sorry you’ve experienced this too.
@kare glad you’re still having the fun sexy sex! I’ll live vicariously through you! I also try not to give out my phone number until at least right before the first date or after because that’s how you get unsolicited dick picks and such. Not giving out the number has cut back on this big time!@stone I had a guy buy me a coat one time. It seemed weird at the time but he knew I needed a heavier coat and that I was too cheap to buy one, so he just bought one for me. It was kinda sweet. I ended up giving it to a co worker when we broke up, but it was a nice gesture. Physicist seems like a very nice guy 🙂
@lianne that guy in that article…I have no words. Man oh man. Gross.@ladyE I hope your move goes well and everything goes along smoothly!
As for me, I bought a new sundress for the date tomorrow night. It’s supposed to he 80 and sunny and I’ve been eyeballing this dress for a while so I just grabbed it with my supplemental paycheck yesterday because I’d want it if I had a date or not. Hoping things go well but if not, I have a cute new dress.
