It is! Just off now!

WarmFuzzyFun · 30/05/2013 19:26

Hey!

Bant · 30/05/2013 19:27

Hey! back

Bant · 30/05/2013 19:30

Right. I've just asked CheshireCat out for a meal next week, and she said yes, anytime.

And I checked her FB profile, and she's 7 years older than I thought she said she was. Which is good.

JulietteMontague · 30/05/2013 19:39

Bant is Cheshire British?

Oddly, I would have a problem getting a train to Scotland for hours but have no issue getting on a plane to Dutchland.

Ike if you like this one, go for it. Meet him half way or let him come to you if you think he's trustworthy.

ooh excellent news on the date with Cheshire Smile

Bant · 30/05/2013 19:52

CheshireCat is Hungarian. But when I was walking towards the exit of the place last night, she was at the last table, sat with some friends (including, it turns out, a british teacher who was trying to chat her up) - and she looked up at me with this dazzling smile and I actually stumbled. That's never happened before.

So I sat down and chatted to her. I didn't realise I'd actually alpha-maled the teacher out of the way as I was just trying to make the CheshireCat laugh and vaguely noticed when he disappeared. That's never happened before either.

So then I wasn't so narked about the Translator.

I Internet dated a chap from Chicago once. that was over ten years ago and we're still in contact. I like the romantic notion of someone being right despite location... Sadly the practicalities didn't quite do it, but he's still and always will be a warm glow in my firmament.

Bant Yay for Cheshire!

Still holiday searching... I think the thing now is to wait til a fortnight before to grab a very late bargain.

Something funny/adorable happened... I'd mentioned to nameless that I'd never seen a TV show he likes. The box set turned up unannounced today. No-one has ever done that before, an unannounced, unwanted and non-birthday gift. That's the kind of thing I do.

JulietteMontague · 30/05/2013 19:56

See this is the beauty of living in a Euro city as an expat. You can get away with so much more... Still, alpha-maleing the teacher out 'without noticing', Jezebel badge level 3 I'd say Grin

So we were all correct - he cancelled.. I won't be rearranging. Shane to waste a babysitter though so off out with someone else. Wink

WarmFuzzyFun · 30/05/2013 21:30

T, it is easier if you can see it coming, rather than an unexpected situation.

Bant · 30/05/2013 21:34

Oh no. I think I have just screwed up any chance I had with the translator. She was FB messaging me, and I sent her a link to a youtube video by Tim Minchin on dancing bears - as we'd had a conversation about it when at the zoo.

However, I copied the wrong link. So I sent her 'If you really loved me' which includes the line about sticking a finger up the perineum.

I think it's a fantastic song. But she may take it the wrong way. Especially once she's looked up the Hungarian for perineum.

OhWesternWind · 30/05/2013 22:13

Ha Bant you are a genius and will be much better off with the all-round super CC. I like that she seems keen and is not playing games with you.

Toni that's exactly the attitude! Hope you have a fantastic night out.

I'm actually, on the quiet, getting quite excited about my Saturday date. He seems really nice. It is his first Internet date ever. I'm really hoping that this means he hasn't got into sweet-trolley mode and it will just be like a RL date. He's in the same line of work as me so we will have plenty to talk about anyway. I even quite fancy him off his photos ... You never know!

KinNora · 30/05/2013 22:17

How very exciting OWW he sounds promising, especially him actually being fanciable.

Flipper924 · 30/05/2013 22:20

What will be, will be, Bant.

I'm getting a bit fed up with it all.
Pah.

Flipper924 · 30/05/2013 22:21

Except for being excited for OWW and Bant, who have lovely exciting things happening. I think I'm just a bit Envy.

KinNora · 30/05/2013 22:38

What's up Flipper ?

OhWesternWind · 30/05/2013 22:39

Well Nora don't get carried away now - fanciable off his photos is not the same as actually being fanciable ... Actually I think my judgement may be questionable at the moment, far too long since I had good, proper, non-drumming sex.

OhWesternWind · 30/05/2013 22:39

Is it just the crappy OD ennui Flipper? Hope you're ok.

KinNora · 30/05/2013 22:47

Does that mean I have to put my hat back in storage OWW ?

(I wonder why so few of them are actually fanciable in their photos )

T2710 · 30/05/2013 22:55

Yes I think it would have hit me a lot harder if I didnt already know he was a bit of a player.

Tonight's guy,not my type :0( WHY AM I SO FUSSY??

OhWesternWind · 30/05/2013 22:57

No, carry on being fussy. Do not settle for someone not right! (I worry about being too picky too sometimes).

T2710 · 30/05/2013 23:04

I know. Part of me is glad I. Fussy, but the other world just like something, anything, right now. I just seem to be attracted to the guys with arsehole tendencies!

T2710 · 30/05/2013 23:40

Oh dear, how many mistakes in that post? You can tell I've had wine!!

JulietteMontague · 30/05/2013 23:42

Anyone mature enough to be familiar with the TV cop series NYPD Blue where I first fell for David Caruso will remember the Captain gave his update every morning then sent the station out with 'let's be careful out there'.

...and FUSSY Wink
