TheAuthority Posted July 13, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted July 13, 2018 My best mate is single and he's been using a dating app called hinge - its linked to FB but extends to friends of friends so expands your circle. He's very positive about it. Other than that @StefanAVFC you could get an English bulldog. Mine is a complete chick magnet. I tell my wife all the time I regret not getting him 10 years ago 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Ingram85 Posted July 13, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 13, 2018 Don’t go out looking for it. Just do your own thing and if you meet someone you like just go and have a chat wherever you are be it a bar, train, gig, day out whatever. The hardest thing is plucking the courage up to chat and getting rejected but just don’t take it personally (rejection isn’t personal, they just don’t fancy you like you don’t fancy some people that may like you) and try again with someone else another time. Just enjoy life, do what you want, keep a social life going and it will eventually click into place. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I have an idea in mind that choirs would be mostly populated by folks who are 40+, and are probably quite pious, and as such aren't filth. Am I wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went on a few dates with a girl i really liked around March time but she chewed me up and spat me out. They can be ruthless brutal even. To answer earlier your question the apps seem to be taking over. But getting yourself involved in activities or interests that matter to you is a start. I did greek dancing for a bit and met some girls there. So in your case go to a conservative conference as your such a pro Tory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A'Villan Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 This is not dating related. Mum has just been through hell with legal proceedings against her two brothers over their parents care and finance. They've been in court for months at least, possibly getting on to years now. Absolutely torn the family, irreparable damage has been done and zero chance of any amicable ending. I am super proud of Mum. She has fought the good fight and stuck to her guns without shooting anyone down in the process. She let intentions reveal themselves so to speak. The consequence is though that both her parents are in their final years and the conflict has dominated the times spent together , and without doubt played a massive role in the deterioration of my Grandfathers health, the stress and anguish of seeing his children so conflicted beyond repair has been too much for him. Thankfully my Grandmother doesn't speak any English and had dementia before all this played out, making her oblivious to what's transpired as far as I can tell, yet there are issues unique to her situation which needed addressing. Long story short, Mum is going to lose both her parents soon and she's been up to her neck with the legal battles, as she's representing herself. She's no stranger to hard times but i can tell this one has taken a bit out of her spirit. I want to do something to remind her how brilliant a Mother, Daughter and person she is. She's even treated her brothers with decency in what has been a bitter and callous assault on her from their end. She operates with integrity, understanding and a wealth of class that money can't buy. There's usually evil on both sides of a conflict but the only thing which I can say she's guilty of is rubbing people the wrong way with her righteousness and conviction when she feels someone is out of line. Her cause is always noble and often selfless in nature. Anyway, probably not the most lighthearted post I'll make on VT but any ideas would be welcome. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I did very briefly tell her I was feeling for her and acknowledged what she was going through, she started to tear up, so I think I will expand on that and write her a letter. She's the only one, not one other member of the family, has taken on her parents welfare as a personal responsibility. If I'm honest members of my family have proven themselves to be thoroughly lacking in any moral fiber, and the rest for god knows what reason, have not the discernment to see who's really responsible for the downfall of relationships, perhaps out of a lack of interest in getting involved, it's been disastrous. I'm not sure the story is appropriate or even of interest for VT, or if my Mum would appreciate me disclosing it. So I will leave it there. So thanks, NV. Telling her I'm in awe of her efforts is probably more meaningful than anything else I have to offer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 @A'Villan the other thing you can do - depending obviously on work times, geography and so forth - is to take some of the other labour away from her, so helping with weekly shops, mowing lawns, watering plants etc. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She has a monumental workload though and sudoku in bed seems to be her only respite, so I could definitely lend a hand with the labour. Good shout. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
