situation with my colleague 2

[MortalEnemy]

Because you asked for it with such vociferousness, and the other thread, astonishingly, is nearly full...

Good luck Mortal- don't forget to just have fun!

hang on, so you didn't exactly accept his offer of dinner, just assumed he'd know you'd accept? You need to make it clear you accept. The poor guy could be sitting stressing out, not knowing what you think. Why not send an email or text saying "looking forward to dinner, thanks so much for inviting me" or something like that

Wishing you a lovely evening tomorrow. I hope you revel in each other's company. Don't go with a snogging agenda, who wants their first physical intimacy to be in front of an audience of shorts-clad men?!

It will be an opportunity to enjoy call-backs to your in-jokes, develop your mutual shorthand and enjoy each other outside of the rushed and efficient atmosphere of work.

I'm working away at the moment, and just writing that has given me such lovely memories of when I first started seeing my now husband.

Thanks, Mortal!

Have a lovely evening with Rumpled tomorrow. You realise the later in the night evening you post the more excited we'll be!

But we need to know, did you get a new bra and dress for the new lovesick body.

So happy to find this. I wondered where you had gone! Off to get caught up. Hope this is happy.

Delurking to ask when the city break not-date meal is? I mean I don’t need an exact date, but I do need something to look forward to!

Shamelessly placemarking!

Mortal you write so beautifully and “furry as bears” is brilliant.

I’ll never watch an Austen adaptation in quite the same way thanks to this mental image, Mortal.

Modern day actresses won't be furry as bears. Just saying.

A shameless Placemark following catching up on previous thread. Everything crossed that tomorrow is a fantastic night for you both.

Modern day actresses won't be furry as bears. Just saying.

Nonetheless, the link has been made. 😯

Have a ball Mortal. Enjoy yourself & report back when you can! X

The big day has dawned!

Have a lovely evening :)

Place marking to read thread 1 later

Woo hoo I'm excited! Nothing like living vicariously through mumsnet

Hope meetings, comradeship (for the challenging one) and Christmas do go well

Are you taking a change of shoes? like replacing your biker boots with some killer heels may just push over the edge !
eagerly waiting next missive

Delurking to say I am so excited for you Mortal about this evening! Have a fab evening

Delurking to follow! Love this thread. Yay it's Xmas party night. Good luck Mortal

What time does the party start?

I hope there is a bit of hand holding... there is no romance in my life, so a bit of vicarious handholding would be nice...

I've been waiting for tonight for ages!! Good luck! Hope it goes well

Is it sad that I’m excited for you mortal?

I've just found this whole thread, read it all, and now I'm invested and waiting for the update!

Exciting!

Whilst we wait - does anyone remember a thread by another good writer, but this one was sad, I think the OP was called Shirley? And she was an academic?
