I'm not sure. I think a lot of it is ingrained with him. Boarding school etiquette plus a bit of real world knowledge of what works to grease the cogs.

I'm at a place where I'm hoping that it is the real deal. The only way he can style it out is if he's actually in love. According to what I've read, he likes confident women. TayTay must fit that bill to some degree, right?

Being smitten, even if it tanks, is the only explanation for the, frankly, odd behaviour.

TheAntiBoop · 29/07/2016 23:19

I can do self deprecating posh Brit with the best of them. Maybe that's why I find it a little false!!

I would hope it is a genuine relationship but it's a bit early for the L word surely!!! Starting to think the media will rush them into marriage and babies and in ten years there will be one hell of a divorce album

Whentheshipgoesdown · 29/07/2016 23:40

So - I got diverted watching Julio Iglesias and found out Fidel Castro has shagged 35,000 women. That really is, er, something.

Donatellalymanmoss · 29/07/2016 23:42

The media always rush relationships along they have bored readers us who treat these things like soap operas.

I give it till Christmas either engaged or over.

WaverleyOwl · 29/07/2016 23:46

Okay, I may be slightly biased, but when I met my now DH (at 27, close to her 26), I saw marriage within a few weeks. I just knew. We celebrated our 10th anniversary a couple of weeks ago.

God I sound like a total gullible fool, but the romantic in me just hopes that the unlikely match (to the outside world) means something.

Donatellalymanmoss · 29/07/2016 23:47

my immediate thought about JD and Dr Cox fan fiction is that JD probably wrote it!

I'be never read any fan fiction, it seems weird when it's about real people and with characters, for those that I'm interested in I worry that they'll go off and do the opposite to what I think they'll do.

Donatellalymanmoss · 29/07/2016 23:54

I knew I'd stay with DH for a long time when I met him, but neither of us are particularly romantic or gushy. So it's not that I doubt that they might think that it's more the gushiness, greatest love affair of all time spin, that makes me roll my eyes.

Also there are very similar photos of Taylor with every single man she's ever dated. So I see her more like that friend that turns up at your house after the first date, raving about how she's met her future husband, you don't see her for 3 months, then she turns up crying about what a bastard he is. Two weeks later it's someone else and repeat......

Whentheshipgoesdown · 30/07/2016 00:39

In fairness to waverley, tim and tay I was also convinced, at 22, within a couple of weeks about the now Mr Ship. Sounds insane but was true. And i too hope it is all 4real.

FrayedHem · 30/07/2016 00:58

I was googling Cara and Tim to see if they were friendly before TayTo, and found this lovely Vogue shoot they did in 2013. Tim is potraying a model portraying an actor. Tim has range

I really want to know how TayTay is going to deal with the whole Kimye stuff. I can't imagine she will just let it drop.

FrayedHem · 30/07/2016 01:10

I've got an XH lurking in my past so I have to count myself out of being a good judge of together forever-ness.

JanTheJam · 30/07/2016 01:55

I don't get Cara. But I think I went to school with too many pug nosed Poshos. At my school she would have been called a try hard Shock

Cocolepew · 30/07/2016 09:33

I don't get most models tbh.
I was going out with DH for 3 weeks when we decided to get married and were maried within a year. Been married for 21 years.
My DD writes fanfic but not pervy stuff.
She writes Agents of Sheild stories.
Apparently she has a few thousand followers on tumblr Confused

Whentheshipgoesdown · 30/07/2016 09:52

CoCo that is very impressive - I count myself a success if I get a couple of likes on twitter or FB. Can you persuade her to move over to the polygamous TayTimLu marriage? GrinGrinWink

APlaceOnTheCouch · 30/07/2016 09:56

Well done Coco's DD. Tell her not to abandon MAOS completely to focus on TayTo I love Agents of Shield

SmellyFartado · 30/07/2016 10:16

Aw you lot. Real life a bit busy so took a while to catch up. Natalie Imbruglia - who knew Shock

Anyway, back to Tayto. Am still not buying it. They don't look anywhere near compatible. Long lithe legs, tick. Um, frolicking in the sea, tick...... What else? I can't imagine TayTay debating literary heavyweights or anything remotely topical. ØI was gritting my teeth watching that Cara link thinking 'what a bunch of knobs'. It may be fine for boarding school or a school trip but come on!! If you were in the first flushes of love, would you want to be torn away from plentiful shagging to say "can you lot keep the noise down, Ke$ha stop screaming, Cara stop throwing yourself around & Whatsit put
down the torch". No, instead you are giggling in the corner behind the security detail. It's hardly fucking Bond is it. Daniel Craig would never do this shit.

Cocolepew · 30/07/2016 10:59

I knew nothing about it until she posted that she would be stopping while she revised for her A levels and she told me she was getting a lot of messages saying they hoped she would be back soon HmmConfused

TheAntiBoop · 30/07/2016 11:37

Well 50 shades of grey started as fanfic and look how much money she has made

Although I am certain your dd can actually write...

She must be able to make a bit of money through adverts on the site?

Back to that belly line - is it just me that thinks it looks unhealthy? I worry for this girl. There's so much pressure in Hollywood

Cocolepew · 30/07/2016 12:27

Dont know Boop. I just let her get on with it , I have no idea about anything about it Blush
(She is 18 , Im not totally lax Grin)

Cocolepew · 30/07/2016 12:28

It looks like Emilys fake tan has ran down her belly

SlowJinn · 30/07/2016 13:04

Ugh that ab crack looks gross - and I'm not saying that out of any kind of envy. Emily is really slender but that line looks weird - surely it's not natural? It looks drawn on. Grin

Taylor is very slim too, but I'm pretty sure she doesn't have an ab crack.

I feel sorry for teenagers these days with these very very slim women as role models.

SlowJinn · 30/07/2016 13:07

Oh and whilst we're talking about talented daughters, my youngest had a Harry Potter parody twitter account with 300,000+ followers and she used to make a fair bit of money from adverts - she would be paid to incorporate some link or the other into her tweets. She ran the account for about 3 years, then got bored of it and sold it to someone else - I'm not sure how these things work, being an elderly technophobe. She made enough to buy herself a gaming computer though.

TheAntiBoop · 30/07/2016 13:10

It is your motherly duty to get her to monetise her skill!!

Whentheshipgoesdown · 30/07/2016 14:45

Not a fan of the ab crack. It does look drawn on (as did Perrie Edwards) and having never seen it or anything approaching it in 40 years of real life I am not buying it as a physical reality. I'm considered slim as well as old so zero axe to grind re: thin people but that shot of Emily in a bikini looks truly emaciated (apart from the boobs obviously). If it's what she genuinely looks like, I'd worry for her if I knew her; if it isn't, who is it who thinks this is aesthetically pleasing?

Am sure the lovely Tay does not go anywhere near an ab crack and long may it stay that way.

SlowJinn · 30/07/2016 15:08

Taylor's slenderness looks natural, the model/actress Emily looks like she has an eating disorder - her abdomen is concave. She doesn't need to arch her back to flatten her stomach!!

Did Perrie Edwards have an ab crack? I don't know much about her apart from the fact she was Zayn's girlfriend and he had a hideous tattoo of her on his arm.
