Welcome to the Turning Tavern II: Now in 3D

[Gay40]

Welcome!

Gay well I'm assuming the pub I suggested, she hasn't said otherwise, but we still haven't arranged a time. If I don't hear from her tonight I might take a leaf out of sleepless's book and go and put a firework through her letterbox to get her attention. Or summat.

I'm a bit fed up - she's the one who suggested going out this weekend but she's done bugger all about arranging anything. And it's tomorrow.

Yes, but you knew how crap she was with arrangements before you started along this path, so there's no point in complaining about it now

She'll be there, you'll be there, with the seesaw settee.

yes that's true I should be used to it by now shouldn't I?

You really have to get her mobile number tomorrow night

I don't think I would have as much patience as you polly, I can get quite stroppy if I think I am being messed around

I can understand your irritation though. Especially when you've been waiting so long for the event.

I missed your back story polly but I gather you've had a hard time getting her to meet you?

I just feel a bit like she's expecting me to contact her again, and that gets my goat because she's instigated it. I know she's very busy but then so am I, and because I have DC (she doesn't) my going out in the evening means making sure I've someone to look after the DCs (that's arranged, no problem). But it The Bolter decides at the last minute she doesn't want to go I feel like that's me and the babysitter she's mucked about.

I know today's a v busy one for her at work, I'll give her 9-ish tonight and if she's not been in touch I'll email her (with my terse face on ). And I shall be requesting her mobile number. Oh yes.

The terse face usually works though, yes?

sleepless about a year! Arf. God it is a bit of a long story - I asked her out last Jan/Feb (I thought she was gay) she said yes and she mentioned it a couple of times over next few weeks but it didn't happen, and I didn't feel brave enough to push it. In early summer she told me she wasn't gay (definitely not!) but would still like to go for a drink at some point - she was in process of splitting up with her long-term boyfriend at this point. Saw her quite regularly over autumn, all v friendly but nothing else mentioned re drink so I forgot about it. Saw her in march, unexpectedly, (first time in about 3 months) and the first thing she said to me was "shall we go for that drink?" And that brings us up to now, and all the blah that I posted on Likeas thread.

Gay yes it does, even through the medium of email!

So Gay what occurred last night with The Chancer? Or are you going to post about that tonight?

Definitely a slow burner then at least you've got as far as having definite plans now though, and of course she is definately not gay

When wiq said she was D.N.G the other day I said neither was I but I still fancied the arse off her

that's a very good reply sleepless and completely in the spirit of The Tavern.

I think DNG can join WIQ as Tavern shorthand.

I wonder where likea is unusual to have no posts from her.

Hopefully Likea's WIQ has asked her to visit.....

Hey, in that case I'm DNG either, I just fancy women and want to have sexual relationships with them.

Gay40 wtf has that naughty chancer been up to?

Polly hope you get it sorted.

I received a phone call which necessitated a further conversation. In summary, and I quoted someone on here, if she can't control how she felt then she had to control how she behaved and it would be very difficult to remain friends or work together if she couldn't be trusted not to make an arse of herself. And that I was not interested, I would never be interested and that was that.
She said OK.

Well said G40, although I can imagine how crushed she must have felt. Then again, she must have a pretty thick skin to have pursued it this far!

She can talk to someone else about feeling crushed because I didn't want to hear it.

Gay I don't think you could have made it any plainer than that. Hope that's the end of it.
Am I remembering right that this is the first time you've actually spoken to her about it? if so, maybe hearing it from the horse's mouth will be all she needs.

crushing thankyou, so do I, or I'll be doing terse and PMT-ish and that won't be pretty

Gay, hope that's the last of it.
Just been doing Hama beads with the DD and made myself a little rainbow flag key fob.

That was the first time either of us had spoken about it. And hopefully the last.

Hi all! Bloody stressed with moving into new andso much boring diy/household staff to do on top of unpacking! yesterday I spend whole day trailing the miles in huge B&Q and all the rest of ftem looking for some brackets, special srews etc - with very limited success, and today the DIY guy came and did a few bits that he could've done easily in hour and half but he was so chatty and leasured that he charged for 3hrs (I though he wouldn't count the chat and looking for some srews in his bag for 15 min!) quite shocked how much i had to pay him (and still LOADS to do). Gay40 - I need you to do my diy and a bit of painting! I also got cought in the rain yesterday as left my umbrella behind. I'm just useless at all this and find this stuff so frustrating.
Well, sorry for ranting but I had to share with someone friendly.
polly, what if she doesn't reply this eve? if she contacts you last minute tomorrow tell her off about having to arrange childcare! And let her set the date and give you the number ther and then. If she disappears altogether, I'd personally just drop it altogether as it's just rude and thoughtless behaviour. But let's hope she contacts you this eve! and in future definetely texting/calls.
I agree sleepless I couldn't put up with that (ell at a stretch once or twice if I was REALLY keen) and also could get stroppy!
sleepless your wiq is obviously having a last ditch attempt to stay on the straight and narrow with that date with a man , but as far as I can see she's on a track now whether she likes it or not (looks like she's starting to like it - a kiss on the lips! did you blush??)
Gay40 I think it's time you started to rtust my intuition , apart from my situation naturally, haha. I did say you should be a li-ittle bit worried about tha chancer, who is escalating her efforts. I don't know what she told you on the phone but obviously enough for you to realise this. Absolutely right not to be sympathetic - she bloody knows that you aer happy with your partner (some people are just obtuse and thoughtless!). Let's hope 'ok' means ok, sound like you aer in a position of power there, thank God she's not your boss .
