omg just do it!

even if you dont fancy him you can still have a good night out, and you might spot someone you do like Smile

That thought had crossed my mind Lou. Wink I will go, as I initiated it, but it just feels wierd.

lou33 · 24/05/2006 22:05

it only feels weird because it is something new, and at least you know him from before

i bet you have a good time Smile

rickman · 24/05/2006 22:13

i'm back from tonight's night out with him now, another good time, we are going to try and see each other in the week

lou33 · 29/05/2006 20:39

rickman, how was saturday?

rickman · 29/05/2006 20:42

It was ok. Nice to catch up, no fireworks though, not even burning embers. He probably thought I was boring, I seem to have a one track these days - kids, kids, kids!

I'm glad that yours went well. Any more plans?

lou33 · 29/05/2006 20:47

saw him friday and saturday night, got a message from him last night saying he had a good time and he would like to see me again

i sent him a text saying to let me know when he was free

trouble is he usually works 6 days a week, sometimes 6 1/2

i would like to see him again but if it doesnt happen at least i had some fun

lou33 · 29/05/2006 20:48

ugh hit post too soon

i meant to add, that it was a shame there were no sparks between the two of you, but otoh you got a night out, and some adult company, which must have still been nice, yes?

notetoself · 02/06/2006 14:25
