SO I finally succumbed to the world of dating apps (I'm 44 and swore id never use one)
Ive been on an app called Bumble for a week now, the rules are the lady has to make first contact... had 2 'dates' so far, or as I called them 'initial meeting to suss each other out'
First was out Reading way for a lunchtime coffee, with a lady who was really into cricket BUT a total nightclub girl and a completely different personality to the messages we exchanged. In order to relate to me liking football, she Kept going on about how she goes out clubbing and EPL footballers are always buying her and her mates champagne in the VIP rooms.....
2nd 'date' was at a lovely pub friday night in Uxbridge (the Malt Shovel) I was a little bit catfished by her photos....id say the photos were 5 years old... again, nice girl, good job, after 2 wines she started crying and wouldn't stop talking about her 'toxic' ex ... when i got home she sent me a nice message apologising.
I think going forward the first 'dates' will be on the video chat feature on the app
anyone got any advice/funny stories so far?

Although marriage is an up and down, merry go round im.do glad I'm not single in this day and age.
Maybe this is a taboo subject and may touch a nerve.... but wouldn't it be easier to say pay an escort if it was just sex which was lacking?
I think if I divorced I'd like to see how long I could be happy single.

Can I just say that we all hope you and 'Fred' remain happy together for a very long time to come! |  |

I am twenty-five years married so never experienced the world of apps or dating sites.
I am however convinced that the decline of clubs and pubs is partially linked to the fact that men no longer need alcohol for the Dutch courage required for hook ups. I always thought I would still be a virgin without booze! [Post edited 13 Nov 10:44]

Probably a lot richer too with all the money saved on going out drinking in the hope of meeting someone. |  | | |

I think people not going to pubs is more about a pint costing £7 and pay stagnating than pulling birds. |  | | |

As did Peter Crouch, of course, when asked what he would have been if his career in professional football hadn’t taken off. | | | |

Really no need to lower the tone, Northern. I believe the word was ‘escort’. | | | |

You can meet anyone almost anywhere. As long as you have found someone for you, then mostly (not always) how you met them should not matter that much.
There are extreme exceptions, meeting someone while they murder someone else and I have ever heard of someone meeting someone while they were having a dump.
But then I am lazy ;P |  |

I always used to think all these surveys where people would quote fifty bed partners in their twenties and people in their mid eighties having regular sex three times weekly and as an innocent young teen, I believed all I was told.
Now as a late 50s withered and worn Queens Park Rangers fan, is that all BS ??
Only asking for a friend as they said none of this happened for them !!
Apparently body count is the phrase now - and I thought that was how many bodies, you had buried under the patio. Apparently, it means something else !!! [Post edited 15 Nov 13:42]
