A continuation of the TTII thread for women unexpectedly finding themselves attracted to other women.

It just shows you: beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Gay40 · 11/05/2012 19:19

I'd only move hundreds of miles away if I a) wanted to get away from someone or b) I was offered a fabulous job.
For a friend....hmmm, no.

Gay this came up on our night out and I can't quite remember how she put it, but it was someting along the lines of 'I followed her here.' It might well be she just fancied a change and her friend was raving about how lovely it is here, but she didn't have work here for some time.

Gay40 · 11/05/2012 19:28

DNS. IMO.

Gay i just stumbled across some info that poss sheds new light on WIQ. Not posting it on here though, too specific, but is on TT FB.

likeatonneofbricks · 11/05/2012 20:19

you see polly, I do think (even without your new FB info) that your wiq may have been involved with a woman (all those rumours before werent for nothing) but she may well have been a one-off. If this was the case, it sounds like she moved because of that woman. I would definately move if I was inlove with someone and had a green light! BUT doesn't just show what I always thought of her - she knows what she wants, and once she wants it she goes for it! not the type to be coy, confised etc. She MOVED to a different part of hte country, and in your case she can't be arsed to find time for a quick coffee or drink in the evening or her day off, AND she ignored your request for her phone number.
I'm still curious whether FB info anything to do with neing gay, or smth else (not asking what exactly)?
Outmy, yes of course she's walking past on purpose. I can see that you shouldn't approach her right now as she is in a big strop, but if you aer ever on your own or if she starts warming again, then do talk to her in a clam friendly manner, she couldn't dislike that.
Of course it's all in hte eye of beholder! My wiq isn't an obvious choice for ne as she's 20yrs older! She is a 'fine' woman but she's aging and also even in youth she wouldnt be everyone's taste face-wise though she does have atraditionally good figure..but I just love that type but even more so her in particular as it's about the person, her taste, thinking, speech everyhing! she can also be very soft andsubtle despite her boyishness at times!

*doesn't it just show

likeatonneofbricks · 11/05/2012 20:21

on her day off*

likeatonneofbricks · 11/05/2012 20:25

so what does everyone think about wiq trusting me to stay in her place on my own? I know that 'really sweet of you' doesn't mean she's attracted, but would you say it means she is NOT attracted? could she be letting me in her space slowly or just sees me as useful? I need some support too!

likeatonneofbricks · 11/05/2012 20:28

Gay, don't forget that you aer not single and child free, for htose of us who are it's not such a big deal to move if there is a reason. I've just moved, but I'd move back and go through the whole stress again if it was for a new relationship.

Gay40 · 11/05/2012 20:37

I've been both single and child free, and my reasoning still stands.

Gay40 · 11/05/2012 20:39

The "really sweet" comment is a bit non-commital. It's what I say when I'm not really bothered about a person....but that's me. It depends on her tone etc.
Are you staying overnight at her place?

likeatonneofbricks · 11/05/2012 20:40

you are not a romantic then Grin? why not though, aer you very attached to your part of the world? I mean i wouldn;t move to a city I hated, but if I liked and it meant being with a partner, I def would. Probably not move abroad apart from a couple of places (maybe).

likeatonneofbricks · 11/05/2012 20:41

G, yes, overnight, first time on my own.

likeatonneofbricks · 11/05/2012 20:58

great! mn goes down during message posting. To repeat, this is what's confusing, she is letting me closer into her space but it may be on par with friends/relatives. 'Sweet' comments again may mean she replies on auto pilot as she doesn't know how to handle compliments and offers from me, as she's not ready to say anything similar, or they could mean 'you aer nice but keep your distance'!

Gay40 · 11/05/2012 20:59

No, I'm not attached to where I live - but then I moved here to be with MrsG so I'm not living in my own part of the world anyway.
I'd move, but not to follow a friend.
As for romantic...I can have me moments.

likeatonneofbricks · 11/05/2012 20:59

these were texts G, so tome of voice unknown. I know they aer noncommital. what I'm really asking is are they a negative sign, or notneccessarily.

Gay40 · 11/05/2012 21:00

This is your perfect opportunity to get answers to all your questions. Over night in her place. Oh yes.

likeatonneofbricks · 11/05/2012 21:01

But that's what i was asking - wouldn't you move for a partner, I was saying i would (but not for a friend).

SaltResistantSlug · 11/05/2012 21:02

Sorry to be a complete PITA, but I've been away for a few weeks. Can someone give me the lowdown on Polly, Sleepless and Likea? And I'm talking prizes for the lowest lowdown in history - I really don't want to put anyone out.

likeatonneofbricks · 11/05/2012 21:03

No, she's away! not following the thread, eh? she is leaving me on my own there.

Gay40 · 11/05/2012 21:04

Yes, I would and have moved for a partner, but not a friend.

Gay40 · 11/05/2012 21:05

Yes, I'm following the thread. You're going to be in her place, overnight, while she is away. And this is your opportunity to have a bloody good look round and gather your info for phase two of your Plan.

likeatonneofbricks · 11/05/2012 21:08

she asked me to look after her pets, and actually is giving me her bed. But I know that couple of times she did in the past let relatives and closer friends to take it, so she's not that precious about it - well at least I'm on that level now. It means she trusts me , that's all. I've been in her place in the eves before (eith her there) and nothing happened as I can't ask her anything directly.

likeatonneofbricks · 11/05/2012 21:08

ah right - how do you mean I can gather info though?
