I'm known this man on and off for many years, but I was always in a relationship. We'd lost contact a few years ago. We has a bit of a drunken kiss and a cuddle when we were teenagers.

Six months ago I split up with my ex (who is also friends with this friend of mine). A couple of months later, the friend added me on facebook. We've been seeing each other every weekend practically for the past six weeks, alone. Usually going over to each others house for dinner, walks in the country etc. He's definitely not gay.

I fancy the pants off him but we've not so much as kissed.

He, like me, can be a bit shy and has a slight stammer. We do finish sentences for each other some times!

We've snuggled up on the sofa under a blanket to watch a DVD, but nothing else.

He's 'just not that into me', isn't he?

Sad

Not too much 'bready' food either - you don't want gasses building up later in the evening.

It's only your clothes you want to let rip Grin

HappyHalloweenMotherFucker · 28/10/2012 22:42

fondue!how deliciously retro

If you have been for dinner at his and long walks then you I expect have talked about your split and how it was limping to an end? Have your conversations been intimate like that? Also if you have been there after dinner then how awkward is it when you go? Is there tension in the air?

You aren't going to light the house with candles and answer the door in just our pants really are you? With a new throaty voice?

Food- foie gras sliced and pan fried to start. Or pan fried sliced duck with love,y salad as a main and do little canapés to start which you and e can nibble as you cook the duck and he cn sit in the kitchen and relax with a drink and watch you. When you ply him with wine and he says no I am driving say well you can stay, you are very welcome , giving him a chance to panic or make a move.

Pudding- chocolate fondant?

Lavender, that sounds like an excellent plan.

Just hope it's that simple in real life...

Wish me luck, ladies and thank you for your thoughts.
