Likea and sleepless (if you're both still around) do you think it would ok for me to email The Bolter now and say 'this is my phone no, please text me tomorrow morning so we can work out time to meet up? I need to tell the babysitter when to arrive.' Or something like. Or is that too pushy?

pollyblue · 21/04/2012 00:16

yes it's ok, it's the first episode of the new series.

likeatonneofbricks · 21/04/2012 00:20

so not great then, polly? i guess it's difficult to make it really absorbing as it's a new territory still.
sleep, what d'ya mean 'glad you are still around' - when was i going to leave?
I wouldn't worry about the date. Did you see my post earlier - it's her last ditch attempt atstaying on the straight and narrow, I said there.

likeatonneofbricks · 21/04/2012 00:20

yes, polly definitely good idea

likeatonneofbricks · 21/04/2012 00:22

it's not pushy, you have to make plans with the sitter fgs, she should be embarrassed that you had to remind her!

pollyblue · 21/04/2012 00:22

no it is pretty good but I've not seen it before so I'm still working out who's who Smile

pollyblue · 21/04/2012 00:23

right, will email then now.

sleeplessindenial · 21/04/2012 00:27

I would send that email polly.

Just meant that it was unusual not to have you here last night likea Smile

Yep 20 texts isnt a lot at all from her, but had 2 long phone calls and a shorter one so I suppose it balances out.

I do think she will go on the date, you never know, maybe she will realise she prefers my company to his though Wink

I am going to dye her hair for her, hadn't thought about it being a close contact thing but I guess it is Smile

I was going to offer her a nice relaxing massage as she has trouble sleeping

I suggested that I go round of an evening to dye her hair but she kept suggesting day times..... I've just realised she will be alone during the day but not of the evening! Very optimistic of me to think that maybe the reason why, but I'm going to carry on and think it anyway Grin

likeatonneofbricks · 21/04/2012 00:27

she might be back late and then still has a chance to reply in the morning, whether it's a yes or a no - most likely case I think. obviously if she's at home and hasn't replied then shes not in the nood for tomorrow (but would be decent at least to tell you).

pollyblue · 21/04/2012 00:28

Email sent.

I bet WIQ will be on her date and thinking of you. I don't think they'll have more than the one date Smile

likeatonneofbricks · 21/04/2012 00:31

sleep - anything to do with hair is very personal and i bet you have not touched her much so far (well maybe hugs but that's not as close). Massage - great if you can do it well, if she likes your touch you aer more than half way there!!Grin
I'm not ussually here EVERY night, but I suppose you meant 'good you are back' not 'still there as if I'm about to leave thread'! (not gonna happenGrin)

likeatonneofbricks · 21/04/2012 00:32

I also bet, like polly that she'll be quite bored by the end of it.

pollyblue · 21/04/2012 00:35

I'm telling myself that she's had a really early night tonight in readiness for tomorrow so hasn't checked her emails this evening - but i doubt it.

sleeplessindenial · 21/04/2012 00:36

Definitely 'glad you are back'

She can be quite touchy feely, more so than me. There's been moments like when she was trying on dresses and I was doing up the zips and stuff.

Good for you polly, I hope she replies

pollyblue · 21/04/2012 00:36

right, time for bed! night both x

likeatonneofbricks · 21/04/2012 00:40

night polly - I think more likely she's out, maybe even some after work friday drinks..

likeatonneofbricks · 21/04/2012 00:41

sleep - when is the hair colouring, monday? before her date?

NimpyWindowmash · 21/04/2012 09:57

"they take ages to seduce, they're rubbish in bed - and then they go back to their boyfriends"
Fun article about lesbians trying to seduce straight women - see guardian weekend magazine

Loveisthemessage · 21/04/2012 10:01

Morning all...interesting article in The Guardian about a lesbian chasing straight women. http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2012/apr/20/staceyann-chin-straight-women-thrill-me?intcmp=122 Might offer some tips for you Polly for your most DNG friend.

Loveisthemessage · 21/04/2012 10:02

Is it just me or is there a lot more coverage at the moment on lesbians, bisexuals and people are very DNG - in the press and on TV?

sleeplessindenial · 21/04/2012 10:28

Likea, it's on Monday but her date isn't until Friday. I will be child free and so will she! For the first time it'll be just the two of us. She hasn't heard from the blind date since yesterday lunch time hopefully she won't hear from him again Wink

I've been round this morning and she is looking particularly lovely, I didn't want to leave Smile

Gay40 · 21/04/2012 10:30

Oh dear me, the Guardian....oh dear me.
I think it belongs in the Daily Fail.

I can't get the link to work, will have a google.

No, it doesn't work - I had to go the long way round

sleep that's great that the date is not on same day as hair colouring - definitely offer massage, she might just mellow seriiously. And then plentry of time to lose interest in this man date (or a least turn just out of politeness). I wouldb't assume they aer in touch every day, men don't do that, especially before the date. As I say I wiouldn't worry, she may see it a fun day/eve out but no way this could distract from your connection. Whether she'll be attracted physically we'll see, but that's why great opportunity to get her to like YOUR touch with the hair/massage. Touch is crucial and often decides when someone is dithering. I know she's tactile, but she has to like yours a lot.
