has sleep reported on FB, anyone could relate here briefly? just want to know all's ok.
polly - how are you doing? decided to wait longer?

Gay40 · 03/05/2012 12:07

I was speaking as I find...not negating your experience.
You are worrying too much about performance...it's a not a Best In Show x

likeatonneofbricks · 03/05/2012 13:53

G, yes I know, your situation is somewhat different though so the experience is too. It's not performance per se but we'd both need patience (and a lot of wine) to start with as I don't want to put her off at once before having a chance to improve. AND there is a slight worry whether i will enjoy it myself, not being with her as such but what she'll be doing to me and how sensitive she is. She is not an obviously sensitive/delicateperson (physically) and is not young so who knows.

likeatonneofbricks · 03/05/2012 13:55

G, any more ideas about letting her know that I'm attracted? apart from talking of lesbians. I mean, I can see your point Eats whether she find it 'unplesant' but that if she's neutral to the subject, I'd be none the wiser what her attitude to me is, or whether she would go for it eventhough doesn't consider it 'disgusting' (as you put it ) in theory.

Hello Likea - having been a DNG straight woman, weirdly I didn't worry or think too much about getting down to bizness...it all comes naturally (for want of a better expression). You'll be amazed what 2 women are capable of...As I've said before it's fairly easy to navigate round another woman's body as it's not dissimilar to your own and when you're really into each other everything fits into place! You either have good chemistry with someone or not - this is what makes a person good in bed, in my opinion, not a set technique or style per se. As the others say, it's not about experience or performance.

pollyblue · 03/05/2012 13:57

Hi Likea,

I'm fine, just battling a filthy cold. Haven't heard from WIQ and no plans to contact her, at least for the time being. My friend's funeral is next Tuesday, once that's done I might starting about WIQ situation again. Not sure what to next tbh, but not really thinking about it too much.

I need Lemsip! Grin

I'll see if sleepless is on FB and ask her to pop over with an update. She did post to say they were going shopping today.

Loveisthemessage · 03/05/2012 13:57

I didn't know what the bloody hell I was doing first time but without blowing my own trumpet was told I was a natural Grin

Loveisthemessage · 03/05/2012 14:00

Likea - rather than mentioning the L word, maybe you can instigate a conversation about sexuality being a fluid thang and ask if she has any friends that turned at any point? You could hypothetically talk about one of us (she doesn't have to know you don't actually know us) and say "I have a female friend who has suddenly been attracted to a woman..." Or is that too bloody obvious?

likeatonneofbricks · 03/05/2012 14:01

ok, Loveis, I 'm still worried but less so now. That's hte point though that bears repeating - she'll be fine with me if she's enarmoured enough but maybe different if it's just an experiment. I definitely want to get closer and try but how to actually do it? we just don't spend enough time together in one go to build up to things! maybe I should just tell her (or write)?

pollyblue · 03/05/2012 14:02

Loveis Grin to the 'a natural', if only you'd known years ago!

likeatonneofbricks · 03/05/2012 14:03

very obvious yes.

Loveisthemessage · 03/05/2012 14:04

But really you could say everything is an experiment until it turns into something more. My WIQ kept asking me if I was experimenting with her in the beginning which slightly bothered me and thinking about it now, she could have been doing a see-if-I-can-turn-this-DNG-woman experiment with me!
Maybe you could write to her as it must be so painful being in this limbo-land. Do you have email contact with her already?

Loveisthemessage · 03/05/2012 14:05

Yes Polly - to think of all the fun I could have had Grin

likeatonneofbricks · 03/05/2012 14:06

hi polly, I think I'm coming down with a cold too - will try to fight it before it settles. This cold is going on in your case! two weeks!
I can't believe sleep deserted the thread! so all's well at least. I wonder whether she tried a kiss on Sat though! I'd find it so helpful to read about her wiq's reaction..
polly you can either wait and leave it with her, or write a second email suggesting drinks. But as you have a cold and the fumeral coming, could as well wait till next week.

likeatonneofbricks · 03/05/2012 14:08

Love, no email contact but we text. And I could rite a letter (better of course). I will try to star the subject first when she had a drink as she's MUCH more chatty/open then, this will be the weekend of next week.

Loveisthemessage · 03/05/2012 14:11

Btw I don't usually ogle Grazia but was having my worzel gummidge barnet fixed into behaviour yesterday and noticed an article about a woman who was a mistress to a Chelsea married millionairess for 2 years and this was quite common among ritzy ladies (taking on young female lovers).

likeatonneofbricks · 03/05/2012 14:18

well, we aer not in that group are we. Which is good as she has much better taste than most chelsea millionairesses (I lived in chelsea myself when i was married, so i've see enough of those about, plastic surgery city!)
Oh, how i want her to tell me what she thinks!

likeatonneofbricks · 03/05/2012 14:19

it's this bloody feeling of things VERGING on something, but firmly stuck in that phase - the proverbial 'so near yet so far'.

pollyblue · 03/05/2012 14:20

Oh I know that feeling.

likeatonneofbricks · 03/05/2012 14:24

the funny thins is I still notice, and like to look at good looking men, but it's her i actually want NEAR me, I've realised that after 6 months of thinking about her it's now hard to imagine wanting to be close to a man, it's like 'keep your distance' with them.

likeatonneofbricks · 03/05/2012 14:24

polly - I thought you'd say it!

pollyblue · 03/05/2012 14:26

predictable, moi? Grin

Loveisthemessage · 03/05/2012 14:56

Likea - yes, thank god we aren't in that group...but just goes to show it's more common than we might think. Said this before but there seems to be regular press on the subject of les/bi/turning women. We just can't be put into a box unless it's full of chocolate , can we?!
