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

OP posts:

By looking round her space and finding out what she likes, and storing it all up for future reference.

likeatonneofbricks · 11/05/2012 21:12

don't think she's leaving any love notes lying around! especially knowing that I'm staying. She often have people stay so I think if she had any personal info she'd put it away. I can't rummage iykwim, it may be noticeable apart from wrong. If of course there was something obvious, then fine, but can't imagine what.

Gay40 · 11/05/2012 21:14

I'd be through her stuff like a lovesick ferret.

likeatonneofbricks · 11/05/2012 21:14

I know what she likes really - she has a lot of wine there for starters! Otherwise it's hr children who aer away and work, I know of her hobbies but I'm not into one of them, and hte other one is on/off. The thing is unless she's attracted she won;t take up any invites from me. But do you think giving me her bed is at least meaning strong liking? I wouldn't to just anyone.

likeatonneofbricks · 11/05/2012 21:16

I think she'd hide anything significant - if it exists. Normally it's just bank letters lying around and whatever. She's not a hoarder.

Gay40 · 11/05/2012 21:17

I suggest you make the most of being in her bed

likeatonneofbricks · 11/05/2012 21:22

Salt sorry just caught up in the dialogue!
sleep has gone off thread because she thinks her relatives aer on Mn, but the last thing she told me is that is going well. I dont know whether there was any news on FB from her as it's more private. They were spending almosat every day with wiq and told each other abolut their love though wiq was saying that it's platonic (we all thought 'so far'' - she bever went to the date with a man that was planned ha!).
polly - they had drinks two weeks ago but nothing changed since, wiq hasn't replied to enails for a while and generally not initiating much.
I'm just working up the courage to be direct, and wiq is definately warner but still don't know if she's attracted (I described in last couple of pages). Can only see her end of month now. But I did see her quite a bit since March.

likeatonneofbricks · 11/05/2012 21:23

G - I thought of that too (your last suggestion) Grin, that IS a treat. It may make me even more lovesick though!

likeatonneofbricks · 11/05/2012 21:24

still G, do you think she may be slowly letting me into her space, consciously?

likeatonneofbricks · 11/05/2012 21:26

*all is going well (re Salt post)

Gay40 · 11/05/2012 21:27

Maybe. I'm a bit precious about who I'd let sleep in my bed.

likeatonneofbricks · 11/05/2012 21:32

so am I! she did let a close female friend/relative take it but it's only when pushed. generally I'm much more precious about my things than she is. SHe's unusual as she's extravert socially and all on the surface, but she's closed when it comes to personal (i.e. lots of friends but only a few if any know what she feels or about her personal life). I'm a bit worried on that account as being so open/conventional socially she may be very wary coming out to people.

likeatonneofbricks · 11/05/2012 21:36

so do you think 'sweet'comments mean 'keep your distance' or sje's just hiding behind them? sorry to bang on about that but it is confusng and frustrating (not what i want to hear) yet she has warmed up and hold long eye conatct much better than before, plus trusting me in her home. But the comments are not right.

outmy - thank you for reassuring! I mean 'keep your distance romantically' but to stay as a friend. It's just if i was attracted i wouldn't use this term as it's more a general term of endearment used to anyone (andshe used it talking about a girl relative, who she does like a lot but obv not in that way).

likeatonneofbricks · 11/05/2012 21:49

as I say, I do know she likes me and trusts me, which is great of course as without that no hope at all. but I'm hoping that she's attracted too.

likeatonneofbricks · 11/05/2012 21:56

outmy, it would be great if you could find somebody ewho knows her so that you could bump into her socially (especially when the drink is involved!) - maybe one of your teacher friends can engineer smth?

Sorry, but I snorted aloud at "I'd be through her stuff like a lovesick ferret." Hahahaha. Grin

out, but maybe once you move to a diff part of school she may relax. I meant she was in a strop with you, not generally, even though completely unfair! do you live in a large place, no chance bumping into her in town? I think in 9 weeks she may warm up, then if it happens don't waste time and talk - you've nothing to lose if you aer moving fron her section at least.
Thanks for saying the commentss aer not negative - maybe not. I do lose my nerve a bit as i become tongue-tied a bit when we talk, though I'm getting better at it. I used to look away myself during eye comtact but now it seems ew aer both ok. I do stupid things like talk some trivial nonsense and to be honest boring as I just have hte need to keep conversatuoin going at all cost which really I must stop doing and become more creative instead on what i say and how I say it, I haven't really been proerly flirty (and i was quite good at that with men).

likeatonneofbricks · 11/05/2012 22:42

outmy, I did have a little hunt once when she was out for a bit and i was with the pet. This was only on the table, haven't gone throgh drawers etc. I saw my V-card under some papers (not on shelf with other cards) of course it wasn't signed, this was on other thread. Also saw a v-card from a man on the shelf but prob from an old admirer as it was displayed but not overly personal. I'd feel bad about rammaging in more hidden places, but I really think there is nothing there (if it was it'd be under key in the desk) as she's not a hoarder and wouldbn't keep anything personal in view really. Of course it's hard to resist looking at clothes (ahem).
