Welcome!

I've been in two minds about what to say, either go down the 'i really want to be friends so let's get lashed again next week' or just say 'oops sorry, it seems I do fancy you after all.'

The problem with the first options is it's a little thingy (I can't think of the word!) - I'm not being honest about the fact i fancy her so it might come back to bite me on the bum.

The problem with the second is she might go 'aaaaaaaaaargh!' and that will be the last I hear from her...

"Let's get lashed properly next week."
Don't allude to anything else.

I thought the whhole point of that was to be honest! why go friends route - if she agrees you'd be forever trying to turn her. I think if she says argh, just let her go, what is the point torturing yourself..Hardly 'action' to offer her friendship.
I wonder if sleepless DID kiss her drunken wiq Grin.

likeatonneofbricks · 28/04/2012 23:55

If you offer her to get lashed - fine, but as Gay says, don't mention friendship. And just do it once, if still nothing from her, then best to leave it.

pollyblue · 28/04/2012 23:55

Oh God! Two different opinions. I'm going for a little rock in my corner again.

Likea get ye to FB, she posted a v lovely pic of the two of them a few mins ago.

likeatonneofbricks · 29/04/2012 00:04

well, not quite different..G40 is also against offering friendship. I did always say that you could offer her to go drinking, but it's been wisely said that she may do something when drunk that she may regret next day and be off. Unless it will ne just honest talk while drinking.

Gay40 · 29/04/2012 00:06

It strikes me that the The Bolter is not the regretting sort...just will move on and sort it out in her own head

If we meet up again it needs to be somewhere quieter, pub last week had pretty loud music, ok for general chat but not ideal for Serious (hic) Conversation.

Of course this could all turn out to be academic if I bored the arse off her so much last time she'd rather smash her toes with a hammer than spend any time with me again Grin

likeatonneofbricks · 29/04/2012 00:07

I'll ask her to send it by pm if possible. Too tired to egister and msg Crushing. Been shifting furniture and boxes around the flat all day!

pollyblue · 29/04/2012 00:07

No I doubt she would do regretting. She's too Northern.

pollyblue · 29/04/2012 00:08

haven't you unpacked yet Likea?!

I can't talk, I moved 18 months back and still have sealed boxes around the place.

Gay40 · 29/04/2012 00:08

Too Northern?????

OP posts:
pollyblue · 29/04/2012 00:10

I mean that in a positive way Grin She's from the North and has got that quite matter of fact way about her. Not a navel gazer.

likeatonneofbricks · 29/04/2012 00:12

G i didn't mean she'd sit there and regret, it's just an expression - meaning polly wouldn't get what he wanted and be hurt if anything happens but then no continuation. So if they get lashed it's really to have an open talk.

likeatonneofbricks · 29/04/2012 00:14

no polly it's only been a month but furniture got assembled only yesterday, so I had nowhere to unpack into. Plus I'm in london also on and off (seeing wiq). some progress, about halfway .

pollyblue · 29/04/2012 00:15

tbh even if i was under the influence i really wouldn't want to be under The Bolter so early on. Because it could all backfire, we've both got to be sure about things.

likeatonneofbricks · 29/04/2012 00:16

I know she's a matter of fact, that's why if she says she's not gay, then she isn't Grin.

likeatonneofbricks · 29/04/2012 00:16

good thinking p! it would help getting her to talk if she did feel any attraction.

pollyblue · 29/04/2012 00:17

well yes there is that....Grin

likeatonneofbricks · 29/04/2012 00:19

if you offer to get lashed and she is not too keen, would you then write about how you feel?

likeatonneofbricks · 29/04/2012 00:19

polly aer you southern? SW or SE?

pollyblue · 29/04/2012 00:21

I'm from SE.

Oh I don't know about that....probably not.

pollyblue · 29/04/2012 00:23

I just keep remembering that Loveis WDNG (and now is) and Mrs Gay WDNG and is now Mrs Gay.....

Gay40 · 29/04/2012 00:27
