Is it shyness, Jess? Or have you just never mastered the art?

ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 12/08/2016 13:58

toad both! Plus I have completely non-flicky hair....

ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 12/08/2016 13:59

And the thought of casually touching him on the arm makes me criiiiinnnnnge. Ugh. Yes, I've read the WikiHow page....

toadgirl · 12/08/2016 14:00

Hmm.

This is a hard one. Or it would be, if you could just get the flirting going a bit Wink

I see I shall have to give this my full attention.

I want to see you succeed, even if you don't suck anything else Wink

Flirting advice from Elle Woods.

AverageGayLad · 12/08/2016 14:06

Grin I'm so entertained right now.

You should use the Phoebe Buffay flirting method

toadgirl · 12/08/2016 14:09

What's that, AGL?

toadgirl · 12/08/2016 14:09

I never really got into Friends.

ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 12/08/2016 14:11

Ah, Toad, you are a lovely creature...

I should also point out that I have obsessively stalked casually glanced at his FB page, and under 'books' he put 'The Lad's Bible'.

Not that I was planning on discussing Dostoesvky with him or anything (I have many other plans) but....

(I had to Google the spelling of the Russian dude in order to appear clever & knowlegeable. And I bet I still got it wrong)

AverageGayLad · 12/08/2016 14:15

"Phoebe, that's a nice name"

"You like it? You should hear my phone number"

Grin
ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 12/08/2016 14:16

AGF Grin. Just watched Phoebe flirting with Chandler. That would so be me (after said vodka)! It's a life skill I'm sadly lacking in. Maybe there are classes....but how weird would they be?

AverageGayLad · 12/08/2016 14:17

Fyodor Dostoyevsky Grin

AverageGayLad · 12/08/2016 14:18

I'm very skilled at flirting Grin

ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 12/08/2016 14:22

AGL Fyodor?! Who knew?! have read nothing by him And I'm such a fan, too!

AverageGayLad · 12/08/2016 14:24

Jess did you name change cause of a thread?

toadgirl · 12/08/2016 14:27

The Lad Bible now boasts 70 staff, who curate a mixture of articles, pictures and videos, almost always based on content from elsewhere. The range of material is broad, but most of it would not look out of place in a traditional men’s magazine: stories of bravery or stupidity, practical jokes, sporting or drinking feats. On a day picked at random, the homepage features an eclectic mix, from Woman Accidentally Snapped Her Husband’s Penis When She Jumped Up To Shop Online, to Man Tweets The Police After Buying A Disappointing Pasty, and Meet “Scouse Pammie”: The Woman Who Spent £20,000 To Look Like Pamela Anderson

^ Is this the one? Sounds like my sort of read. No problem there.

Better than reading about Dusty Old Doors :)

toadgirl · 12/08/2016 14:28

Tell Jess all you know then. This girl needs help!!!!

ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 12/08/2016 14:31

Maybe.......I was posting under a different name (related to my new name; if you know the show!) My ex reckoned he'd found a post by me, I didn't believe him, but he then said the first bit of my (old) username. He is obsessed by my being on here; thinks I have been slagging him off. I just smile because I think if he's trawling MN trying to find me, then things with new GF can't be going too well...

I was actually warned by another (awesome) Mumsnetter that I was giving too much personal info away, and apparently, she was right.

PortiaCastis · 12/08/2016 14:31

This is not my day Sad
Aidy is intrigued by my Gran and her wartime exploits.
Maybe I should go home and cry or possibly nip down to the Co- op for some courgettes.

AverageGayLad · 12/08/2016 14:32

Grin They're MY secrets

ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 12/08/2016 14:36

Toad. Ok, I might check it out never bought a copy of Take A Break in my life Shared interests, and all that. So should I go in and be all: 'I was reading this hilarious article in the Lad's Bible....'

(Bearing in mind I am old enough to be his mother a bit older than him, and a mother myself)

ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 12/08/2016 14:39

Portia. Don't forget the lube, the vodka and the wipes.....I now see where I've been going wrong [sad face]

toadgirl · 12/08/2016 14:39

Aw, he probably just wants to know where you get your great genes from. He likely wants to talk about different sorts of exploits with you.

Maybe I should go home and cry or possibly nip down to the Co- op for some courgettes

I'd get the courgettes Wink

Yes, definitely! That's the way to do it.
