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

yes, we aer all agreed about the talk, but recent posters seem to all say that if it's 'no' then just leave it, the argument with G40 was all about giving her loads of time, no rush, 'because she's the laid back type who might turn or might not eventually'. And we don't agree on the chances of that long term turning ever happeing with you (or at all as far as i'm concerned) in wiq's case. She is of course talking of dating men again, well that will help you decide in itself if she doesn't give you an answer for some reason.

likeatonneofbricks · 29/04/2012 16:26

it was thta thing about superiority, you said you'd think (I explained that I don''t just blindly look up at her).
I understand how you feel - I got really obsessive thinking about my wiq at earlier stages when new contact happened. BUT I wouldn't bedebying I was emotional. Who are you kiddingGrin? people who are strongly attracted, or in my case fall for someone, do not feel laid back.

likeatonneofbricks · 29/04/2012 16:27

I meant 'or at all with anyone'

pollyblue · 29/04/2012 16:31

Oh you meant your WIQ! I didn't chip in again about the superiority thing because you answered one of my concerns in a later post - about not blindly looking up to her but you felt it was more a respect thing. I didn't feel I had anything more of any use to add to that.

likeatonneofbricks · 29/04/2012 16:38

obviously MY wiq - I was saying that you were not keen on talking about anything but yours. Understandable, I'm just saying that hardly came across as laid back attitude. Yes i explained but you didn't say whether you saw my point or still thought she couldn't see me as a partner (plus it was about age gap).

pollyblue · 29/04/2012 17:09

I have been talking about other things, esp sleepless's situation.

What I think I'm saying and what you're reading seem to be two different things, I'm obviously going wrong somewhere Confused. Anyhoo to avoid any further tooth-gnashing I'm going to step away from the thread for a bit.

Blimey! (catching up with this thread)
Likea do you need a massage? :o
Polly Personally, I think you're on the right track re your 'DNG' WIQ...

AllotmentFreak · 29/04/2012 20:47

Polly is doing what she thinks is right for her, we can go around in circles about it but the fact is her WIQ will answer emails and meet up when she feels ready. Polly has other things in her life so it's not all consuming, slightly annoying however, since she's the sort who replies immediately to emails etc.

We need calming tea in here also Grin

I've still got an Easter egg left over so we can share that. How the heck I've managed not to eat it by now I'll never know Confused Hmm

Gay40 · 29/04/2012 21:01

Because you bought it in the sale this afternoon?

AllotmentFreak · 29/04/2012 21:14

Gay! it's erm...... for a friend who I haven't seen since before Easter.

Gay40 · 29/04/2012 21:19

Lame. Get it cracked open!

likeatonneofbricks · 29/04/2012 21:34

Can't wait to hear sleep's news - or has she now moved in with wiq and has no time to update Grin?
polly you said very clearly that you were very low last week and that this is doing your head in (for the 10th time) and we discussed your wiq forever, other topics very by the by, so what is it that I'm reading wrong? it's not just to me that you came across as tortured mentally, and feeling even stronger about her i.e. somewhat getting addicted, especially after your drink with her, no idea why deny it? it's normal when you aer attracted! but yes, now the email is sent, hopefully this will get a Yes or a No conclusion very soon .

likeatonneofbricks · 29/04/2012 21:39

Allotment this is my point - polly will need a patience of an absolute saint to wait for these replies for days/weeks etc, let alone any actions from wiq - most people by the way do reply to emails within two days max unless extremely busy. And polly said and shown many times that she is not patient (neither am I). Most of all I stand by my feeling that if wiq was attracted enough she'd behaved completely differently, and she had a lot if time to develop attraction. anyway, we'll see soon.

Gay40 · 29/04/2012 21:59

Honestly, she's not mentally tortured. Just a bit Hmm over the lack of attention and time her WIQ takes in returning emails.
Let's remain supportive, people x

likeatonneofbricks · 29/04/2012 22:30

G, I've been supportive all last night and the one before when no one else was there - long , long talks. Well ,she's made a step towards arranging the drinks and talk, so great! But sorry if polly doesn't appear like it's all 'a walk in the park' for her, I was only trying to stop her giving wiq too much time so she tips from 'doing my head in' to misery. And what's the confusion about - the woman said she wasn't gay, twice, when both drinking dates loomed. But ok, wiq will be given a chance to make it clear soon.

Gay40 · 29/04/2012 22:39

Hopefully, yes x

likeatonneofbricks · 29/04/2012 22:57

support can be both encouraging to perservere, and discouraging to do so, btw.
has sleep been on FB today at least?

juneybean · 29/04/2012 23:01

I haven't seen her on, she's disappeared into the WIQs house last I heard Grin

likeatonneofbricks · 29/04/2012 23:05

Grin that's what i mean - maybe she moved in?

zombiegames · 29/04/2012 23:07

Yes maybe she has set up a lesbain love nest Grin

zombiegames · 29/04/2012 23:07

Even lesbian

likeatonneofbricks · 29/04/2012 23:20
