The Ick

Am currently OLD and chatting with a few nice guys by Whatsapp.

One guy though the other day just rang me yesterday out of the blue and I was a bit caught out by it. I'd have preferred some notice. He snorted whilst laughing though and I suddenly thought 'oh no!'. Have I got the ick with this one? He's done nothing wrong but I don't think he's the man for me.

There's another guy I like but he lives a bit too far away so suggested meeting up half way betweeen us. That's ok isn't it? He agreed to this.

Halfway shows effort on both parts. As a man i have written off women who only want me to come within 5mile radius because they cannot be bothered

If a person calls without arranging you're free not to answer.

Half way seems fair 😁

Only you know if you have the ick x

In my personal experience, the ick is a protective factor that is there to protect you. Listen to it!

If you have the ick, it over. There’s nothing you can do about this. Move on.

I got it when the guy turned up in white shoes and white NYLON socks, took his shoes off and had purple dye on the socks from wearing them with another pair of shoes that got wet. I mean you'd just bin them wouldn't you?
