Welcome to the Turning Tavern II: Now in 3D

[Gay40]

Welcome!

Hi Cherries and Nimpy no MN Tavern is not closing, it's still the best place for lengthy posts/chat but FB page - which is a hidden page so quite private - is now up and running. Please come and join! PM crushing to join up.

Nimpy glad you had a good night

cherries don't go!

Come back Cherries you are not intruding. I'm happy enough to just stay on here but I understand the need for more privacy. I will say this though... women are so much better than men! (disliking my partner a little bit right now!) haha I think some more chocolate will help with my anger.

Cherries, come and join in. You aren't intruding. The tavern isn't closing for business, we've just had a more private extension fitted for more delicate matters.

we've just had a more private extension fitted for more delicate matters

sounds like you're describing a sex aid Gay Or it does to me anyway

Would that be rabbit ears then?

G40 are you ignoring me? you did ask about wiq.
She has replied to my cheeky-ish compliment but is a bit ...tricky waters! I feel like I need to be extremely delicate with her and this was a little cheeky. Scared a bit that she'll tell me not to say anything personal 'thanks'.

Likea what did you say/she say?

look at previous page, it was by text (nothing sexual. on the lines of her being sweet when she's drunk, she said thanks but didn't think it was that obvious - it was especially to me!) You see, whe npeople post in two places they just don;t read even the last two pages.

it was quite friendly though, not just 'thanks'.

Hey Nimpy and cherries, come in and pull up a bar stool. Totally not intruding :) Well, I do sometimes feel I am intruding on the 'old set' who were on likea's original thread and what with dating someone who is still part-bloke as well, but I think all are welcome here so enjoy.
FB is just for the really salacious stuff Nah, just kidding

Likea I did read the last page but you weren't that specific about what you said to her.....I was wondering what you'd said - the gist, if not the exact words - to have got such a response from her.

Hep it's never 'intruding' even if you don't have all the info of old threads, you can always write about your own thing and discuss what you like. It's Gay40's thread and she did say as many people as possible are welcome.

polyy - ok, sorry, sometimes I don't want to spell out every word, but i did now clarify. So far hasn't told me 'it's not your place' to comment on what she's like when in a altered state, but the thing is I love it when she s mellow as she s warmer then and trye colours come through more. Wanted to say that but i also did offer advice on not overdoing it (kindly) re her health. what do you think, is this iffy?

polly*

Hmmm, you might be skating on thin ice because you don't know her well enough to know how she might take something said in good humour, esp in a text when it's impossible to hear the 'tone' of a comment.

OTOH, I would've thought that she would give you the benefit of the doubt.

I would've thought too, that you've known her long enough to feel free to say what you want to her, whether in text or person. It bothers me a bit that you seem (forgive if I'm getting this wrong) to allow her mood/behaviour to determine how you are with her. It's like you're permanently on the back foot.

sorry, ignore the 'too' in first line, it has no place there!

er, sort of, though not quite sure what you mean, polly. I'm the one keen on her, though i am treading on eggshells a bit still but much less than i used to. remember she is older than me (and now i discovered even more than i thought). No she took it well as said it was sweet of me, and also after that i explained that i admire her for hiow she can hold it (she does recover amazingly quickly after drinking - I couldn't!)

oh God, time for bed! night Likea x

although, not though

i mean never quite understood the expression 'on the back foot'- is it 'unconfident' or 'unimportant' (to someone?)
Any person in love tries hard to please and be sensitive even though they stand up for themselves sometimes in most cases. You are similar with yours but you age gap is less so maybe you feel more brazen.

night - do reply to the rest in te morning, I'm having a vulnerable day, and as luck would have it not many people here and you aer off to bed earlier than usual .

Ah well that doesn't sound so bad, from your first post about her reply I got the impression she was quite frosty.

What I mean is, (and again it's just the impression I'm getting) your friendship doesn't seem very equal - I know she's not your boss so not your superior but there is a sense of that - her being somehow 'superior' to you - in your posts. And I worry that if that's how she see things, you've no hope of a relationship because she would just never see you in that way (as a potential partner).

Oh dear, I'm not sure that makes a lot of sense I know what I mean....will catch up tomorrow x

On the back foot means at a disadvantage.

I need my beauty sleep, my face is caving in remember it's a shame Gays not here, she's good at summing up a situation quickly and precisely.
