Hello,
just wondering how things were going with you and your situation?

If you're still not sure if the woman you fancy has any feelings for you, can I offer you (possibly!) a bit of hope.....I don't know if you remember but I was in a similar situation last year - despite me getting a bit of a 'vibe' from my crush nothing came of it, she told me she wasn't gay etc so that was that. We were still friends, but (afaik) nothing more.

Anyhoo I saw her today, unexpectedly, for the first time in about 3 months and blow me down, she asked me out. Albeit if was a tentative, polite ask but she did, nonetheless. I did a good goldfish impression, I was so surprised. Just going to wait now, not get too excited, and see if anything comes of it.

So - there is hope!

Yes, very similar - there have been times when I've worried that we've actually got a crush on the same person! Their behaviour is eerily similar. But I know for a fact that my Woman In Question hasn't got any children.

Gay i think I need you to write this bloody email for me - as soon as I start I come over all polite and dry up.

What did your last one say and I'll draft a sequel

quite short and sweet - how are you, hope you're better, look forward to seeing you and much wine soon.

All a bit inoffensive I suppose....

Well no wonder she wasn't reined in !!!! How vague

I'm pondering a suitable follow up right now when I should be bloody working

Did you ever lay your cards on the table and tell her how you felt ie does she know you have been crushing on her?

thankyou

Loveis yes, she knows (well knew last year) when I asked her out for a drink. I never said 'I fancy you' or anything directly, but i know she realised because of various things she said the only time we really talked about it.

That's why (sorry if I've said this before) I'm baffled by her asking me now, about 9 months after that chat. She knows I fancy her, so why would she want to go out with me, unless she's seen the light?!

Must be that she has seen the light - speaking of which, must turn mine off as eyes blinking and brain scrambled. Will be back for more tomorrow.

Looking forward to the next instalment already.

goodnight Loveis

"Hello. When I asked you out for a drink 9 months ago, I was disappointed that nothing actually happened...but since the tables have turned and you have asked me out for a similar drink, I am hoping something will happen. But since it isn't happening as quickly as I'd like, can I pin you down to a date and time very soon, for fear I may burst with anticipation. Here is my availability . Now get cracked on, as there's an Easter Egg waiting to be enjoyed, and I can guarantee it isn't the only thing to be enjoyed in my house. Regards, Polly."

That is fab Gay. Thankyou!
You can get on with your work now (at this hour?!) and I'll pull myself together and get emailing.
Will report back, but given previous experience I won't recommend breath holding

I have a flexible type job half the time, which involve being a creative genius. Unfortunately, I tend to get bursts of inspiration very late on so I'm quite often throwing ideas around and on MN at the same time (late)

You've got a brain like mine then, only seems to function after dark. Perhaps I'm actually a bat.
I am emailing her as we speak, honest.....

right, I've pressed 'send' and i'm off to bed now. catch up tomorrow chaps x

Evening all. Just checking in for tonight's daily fix of "All of the journey, none of the peril".

Hope you've all had a productive day, whatever that involved.

Evening Gay.

Well, my day's been good in that I had an unexpected email from my tutor, asking if I want to go and see a film next week, and someone I know vaguely asked if I'd like to go for a coffee sometime soon. So that was all very nice.

Heard bugger all from Woman In Question (I'm going to have to shorten that. WIQ from now on). I've got a nasty feeling she's done what I thought she might - read my email, thought 'oh for fucks sake' and will ignore.

What are you studying?

BTW, I suspect WIQ is just being her flaky self and will get round to replying eventually.

Do you mind if I don't say, it's a bit odd/specific so if anyone in RL has an inkling who I am, that would confirm it.

Or she's just making me sweat. And not in a good way.

I just find it baffling that someone who seems so pleased to see me when she does - she actually ran after me once - is in no rush at all to get in touch.

Still nothing else I can do, I've emailed twice and I'm not doing it again.

Of course, no problem x

No, I think you've done enough. You've re-registered and confirmed your interest, anything else and she'll start thinking you are best avoided (and we don't want that).

Exactly. That would not be good.

So, it's Saturday night and if the stereotypical lifestyle was true, I'd be dressed in leather and parading up and down Canal Street wearing apparatus and knocking back shots until I passed out.
However, as this is reality, I'm sat in my jamas surrounded by cuddly toys (clearout of DD's room) and looking at Mrs G40 lovingly.
And, wondering who has heard what from whom.

Yes, where are all the bi-zzerati I wonder.
