I suddenly remembered your recent thread about the crush you have, and what you might do about it - have things moved on at all? Anything positive to report? Hope there is Smile

I was wondering this too.

SaltResistantSlug · 11/02/2012 23:02

Me too!

Hi polly and Gay40 - I'm really touched that you care and remember. As I promised, I would update you as and when. For the last couple of weeks I was v.busy but also decided to give her a breather after my last visit. NOw I will send her a V-crad, see if she reacts in any way (or guesses that it may be from me - I think she would ask if she had any inkling). I am a bit nervous, as if she does ask, I can only be honest. The card is quite girly (but not cheesy - took a while to find!). If there is silence, then will contact her anyway but she'll be busy for the next 10 days with relatives from abroad staying. The March plan is still on when I'll have more time with her but obv would be good to have progress before. I just don't feel it's right to be pushy with her, to keep initiating meetings (plus I'm sensitive to the fact that she doesn't initiate, so I'm not constantly up for it), maybe gentle will do it..

thanks, SRS too - you posted when i was writing!
By the way I know I've gone quiet, but I would still welcome suggestions if you have any!

likeatonneofbricks · 11/02/2012 23:11

SRS - what a name!Grin

pollyblue · 12/02/2012 21:29

Likeatonne I'm glad you have a plan! Have fingers crossed it all works out for you. Smile

Me too, I remember your thread...

AllotmentFreak · 13/02/2012 13:38

Hope all goes well....

Did you actually send the Valentine's card?

likeatonneofbricks · 13/02/2012 20:47

Allotment - I certainly have, today! a bit nervous now, though I haven't signed of course. But she may well guess as it's a feminine card and a 'kiss' came out quite weak and not manly!Grin
I now have to think what to say if she's displeased about it and questions it, though possibly she just won't mention it if that's the case. Any tips?

AllotmentFreak · 13/02/2012 21:56

Well depending on the strength of her possible displeasure you could.........

Own up

Look innocent

Deny it was you

Do keep us posted though:o

likeatonneofbricks · 13/02/2012 22:14

I was thinking of owning up if she sounds positive or curious. The reaction will be either by text or phone (so lookign innocent is not vey relevant! ha). I thought I could either deny (but if she;s sure, then I would come across dishnest and a coward), or own up but make it into a light hearted friendly gesture - the good htis is there are no heavy declarations on the card!

likeatonneofbricks · 13/02/2012 22:15

'the good thing is' (last sentence)

Gay40 · 13/02/2012 22:54

I saw the end of Bridget Jones the other day and thought of you Grin

likeatonneofbricks · 13/02/2012 23:43

ha-ha G40 - I sound like Bridget, do I - I'm not surprised. But thanks for thinking positive!

Gay40 · 14/02/2012 08:14

No - it was the bit where Mark Darcy's secretary tells Bridget she is in love with her !

flatbellyfella · 14/02/2012 22:56

So no text yet? Good luck.

likeatonneofbricks · 15/02/2012 00:32

not so fast, haha! she might not guess that the card is from me - it could be from a man for all she knows, she may not even think on these lines as far as women are concerned! if she did guess I'm sure she has to think how to respond (or whether to respond - it's easier to pretebd and ignore if she's not interested). I'll give it a few days for the reaction.

Gay40 · 15/02/2012 20:27

Waits patiently.

SaltResistantSlug · 15/02/2012 20:54

Oooh it's so exciting! I did think of you yesterday... and Monday in fact! (I was on last thread but have namechanged since).

pollyblue · 16/02/2012 11:20

Joins the waiting patiently lot....

TheBolter · 16/02/2012 12:43

I'm waiting for the results of this one too...

flatbellyfella · 17/02/2012 15:58

It's now Friday & NO news yet.

TheLastNameLeft · 17/02/2012 16:02

Have been watching this one too...hoping for a good outcome ;-)

pollyblue · 17/02/2012 20:21

I could just explode with anticipation. God alone knows how Likeatonne is feeling is she still hasn't heard anything......

OP posts:
Gay40 · 17/02/2012 21:37

Maybe she HAS heard something and that's why she's not here, giving us updates
