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!

*anatomy -
you see how impatient I am by nature, so in a rush to post that can't make myself check spelling! and yet here I am being TRIED beyond belief by the woman!

this post must be good therapy for you Likea, all that pent-up emotion can come pouring out

oh yes, I really don't know how I'd cope without being able to talk and hear of similar situations on here!

G40, how long would you say the Fishing Rod thing should last before going to some conclusion? I was hoping for lots of chat today going by how she was last few days of the last weekend, but no, we ar back to distracted and polite interest again. It's hard to keep adjusting with 'come hither/leave me be'. I think she's really at the mercy of her moods/health states, and the stress that i described is coming to an end so it must be medical or hormonal.

Oh man, do i know what you mean....

got any digestives to go with that Gay?

I guess Mrs G has what we call completely swung the other way and won't entertain the idea that she may before she carks it find another man attractive. You know how converts to a cause are often quite militant. I'm a bit more "well you never know what might happen" about it.

There are shades of gay. From very to not very much. It's probably a labelling thing, whereas I was born gay and likely to stay that way although I can't rule anything out.

Fishing rods can go on for years. I've seen it happen.

i thankyou

We must be close to our message limit by now. Someone will have to start another one, and if they do, can you send me a pm with the link in case I miss it. Thanking you x

Just dropping in to say I'm lurking on this thread and finding it quite fascinating!

What is the limit? We could start a new thread entitled "women on the turn". If you all agree, see you there but ditto what Gay said - pls include me in all further discussions!

teedee I thought we were a tiny group of women but it seems the thread is known by quite a number of mn-ers, I feel like i now have to change the name to post on other topics!

Likea - what I mean by my earlier post is I feel men have an easier time being out. There are more high profile gay men in the public eye than women. Society seems to accept gay men more so than gay women (probably because men still rule, the idiots). Other than Mary Portas, Susie Orbach and Cynthia Nixon there are few women who spring to mind who have outed themselves. Why is that? And look at poor old Whitney...she hid her sexuality in drugs and booze and ended up six feet under. We can't end on this grim note. Come on - someone add something enlightening.

Gay - you must be WIDE awake and bouncing off the wall with all your brews and biscuits...[bugrin]

i think the message limit is 1000 posts.

Yes, we could continue with "women on the turn".

Loveis to be fair gay men still have issues too, many people RELUCTANTLY accept them but there is a lot of homophobia. I think they aer justa nigger force though, as i say my theory is that there is a greater number of gay men than women, yet greater number or bi women than men.

*bigger force - sorry (oops, that will get deleted)

Teedeeuk - welcome to the world of unrequited love, longing, and lesbian teas. It's all here [busmile]

BTW Lip Service is coming back this month on tv if anyone is interested.

Well wish me luck, I'm just going to email WIQ because I've got a few things I want to get off my chest.

She can ignore it if she wants, but I think I'll feel better for saying it. I can't keep being so bloody passive.

Sad truth is, I know many more gay male couples and virtually no female couples. Time to move to Sitges...

Good luck Polly. Try and pin her down and don't forget your imaginary fishing rod.

polly, it's time you did give her a piece of your mind. We did say that hentle approach wouldn't work with her, but even if nothing works at least indeed you'll assert yourself!
with mine it's opposite - I've learned that she likes gentle. She has warmed up a bit by the end of today btw! so nice when we get on and have harmonius chat, it's just how to move on further!
Allotment which channel is that on, and when?
