My Mum has just gone on a date.

Not pointless at all - it really made me smile! Good luck to your mum. ?

Love is not restricted to the young and beautiful (and I should know!!)

love it, what did they do on their date?! (no imtimate detail;s, you know, lunch, park, shopping so on!)

They've gone for lunch. To a place called "The kn0b" ? I was mature and resisted jokes about kn0bs and first dates.

They arranged it last week, hence the week of giggling.

That is cute ER and good for her ?

Haha the knob!?!? for real!?!?!? amaze!

Awww, how lovely!

I've always wanted my mum to find someone else after dad disappeared off the face of the Earth 16 years ago but I don't think she ever will now

Yep Flow, for real. I got told off by C for saying kn0b ?

I didn't think my Mum would either. Was getting to the point where I was going to put her profile on a dating site.

Aww that is really lovely!

This post is the first thing that has made me smile all day! ?

Yay for your mummy!!

Awww, how lovely! Hope she had fun!

That's really nice ER! It's always good to hear things like this.

That's so sweet! Made me smile

This is so lovely! my mum has been alone now almost 11 years and i just dont think she is interested in finding any one else (she met my dad when she was 18 so i can see why)

she has such a hectic social life though, i just dont think she has time for any suitors!!

Hope they have a great time!!

Ah so cute! I hope she has the best time at the Knob!

Hope she has a lovely time ER

Pj xx

The date went well she said, he even gave her a kiss at the end. Awwwww.

She can't stop smiling ?.

He even complimented her on how polite her daughter is. ?

plese tell me you were dressed like an 11yr old girl head to toe in Hello Kitty ?

I had my hair in bunches, with hello kitty bobbles, necklace, Tshirt and shoes, so pretty much, yeah ?

So cute!!! Will there be a second??

They've been texting each other since he left, so i'd be shocked if there wasn't.

I love this thread it's brightened up my day!!! I'd love for my mum to start dating and go through this.

Hurrah hurrah. Well done your mum!

Awww good on mummy ER!! ?

Aw, this is lovely ER. Hope she had a great time and the girly giggling continues!

Thanks ladies.

They're meeting up again today.

What happened to the days of playing hard to get? ?

Luckily, my Mum likes older blokes. If my Step Dad was still alive, he'd be 66 (my Mum is 49), and this new bloke is 69.

Fingers crossed your MIL finds someone.

To all Hitcher Mums out there - I am a similar age to most of you and my H is 8 years younger than me. Nil desperandum.

And many "over 50's" (Grrr) have their own teeth, hair and even MARBLES! Don't write ua off yet!

True. My Dad is 55 and is only missing a few marbles, but that's down to his stroke rather than general age.

My Mums new bloke has his own teeth too, my Mum was very impressed ?.

Older men can be VERY attractive, just look at D!ck Van Dy ke, he's in his 80's, and I totally would (although not sure if he could ?)

My bloke is a hottie - and he'll be 50 next year!
