I would probably assume it was a tic, or some dust. Something like that.

Offer some Optrex.

TripleyTigger · 14/01/2008 17:35

TheMNPeacekeepingForce · 14/01/2008 17:35

Be grateful it was a wink and not a w*ank

TheMNPeacekeepingForce · 14/01/2008 17:36

oh no that asterisk was meant to be INSTEAD of the a not as well as!!!

ZippiBabes · 14/01/2008 17:36

i just find it disconcerting..end up doing a kind of wank princess di look which is probably even worse

I do seem to find it happens quite a lot

not sure why

i guess it's better than that cheer up it mayn happen love which i used to get

maybe i just look more smiley these days

What is a 'wank princess look' zippi? Has it got something to do with f*ck-me shoes?

I got called 'sweetheart' by am aquaintance (I refuse to use the word 'friend') of DH's who is about 20 years younger than me. Being patronised is one thing, being patronised by a child is a step too far. I froze him with a look.

ZippiBabes · 14/01/2008 17:49

tis an old crones coy look

ZippiBabes · 14/01/2008 17:50

Maidamess · 14/01/2008 17:51

He hasn't just got an unfortunate tic has he?

lou33 · 14/01/2008 17:53

lol zippi, ask them

ZippiBabes · 14/01/2008 17:55

definitely not

gym guy is one of those benign used to be a boxer cuddly weight ligfters

lou33 · 14/01/2008 17:57

does he wear his prizefighting belt all the time, to try and hide his beer belly?

ZippiBabes · 14/01/2008 17:57

not quite but yep that is the type..he looks quite clean but is like an extra from the bill otherwise

OP posts:
Shitemum · 14/01/2008 17:59

Maybe they wink at everyone? Some people are just winky types...

lou33 · 14/01/2008 18:00

lol @ the bill

ZippiBabes · 14/01/2008 18:01

what was wrong with the french guy

tutor doesn't wink at anyone else..well not the other two women

wqould be weird if he did wink at the others as they are teenage lads

OP posts:
lou33 · 14/01/2008 18:02

nothing wrong, he was very very nice

just keeping my options open

DrNortherner · 14/01/2008 18:05

Winking is good I think. A Dad can do it to his daughter in a 'I'm proud of ou/well done' kind of way. A grown man only does it to a grown woman if he fancied her. imo.
