zing!zang!spillip!

Ah well, leave was nice, but reality backons & here I am again.
Corporate greetings, e-mail hand-offs & the shortest hour in the world for lunch.

And speaking of lunch...

I've been enjoying these in the delightful company of ... Miss V!

It's too early to say yet where this will go but I've made it clear to her that I really want her to take my sorry butt back & she has indicated that she never stopped loving me...

Yesterday we hugged. Today we kissed.

I'm all nervous, in that delightful teenage way...

giggity!giggity!goo!

*giggles*

Soooper!

I can just picture you with your Chorlton smile!

Last night, by txt, she said she loves me still.

She also asked if I meant what I said or was I just saying what she wanted to hear. I replied that if I was just playing her it would make me an evil, rotten b*st*rd. I couldn't do that to her.
Besides, since when did I have a clue what people want to hear?

If experience has shown anything it's that if there's a wrong thing to say at any given point, it's probably me saying it...

so this relationship reflowered?

thats cool

were u just bored of ignoring each other, or was there any approach?

i've been quite nervous lately around those of the fairer sex that i really really want lately

one woman the same age or older who is more successful n v sexy

i work with her but can't even have a conversation coz she is busy and works in another part of the place

i don't want to embarrass her

i embarass myself regularly BUT AM GOOD ENOUGH AT WORK to mess like this

i also have doubts if i could attract her

it might seem repressed but unsuccessful pug-ugly women are all over me lately

advice?

any thoughts?

just u know

Thought long & hard about this reply...brace yourself...

The relationship was briefly rekindled. I realised I still loved her & asked her to give me another chance. She initially said no, she couldn't let herself be hurt again. We started seeing each other as friends again though, and in the course of lunchtime socialising moved onto hugs & little kisses again. These got more lingering & more comfortable until, despite her initial scepticism, we found ourselves back together.

There were a few wobbles though; she couldn't quite shake the feeling that I could, at any time, call it off again. Also, there had been some fairly unpleasant & wholly inaccurate rumours about me flying about when we split up, and she was unsure who to believe.

Sadly, it was these insecurities that put paid to us again and this time it was her decision to call time. We remain friends though, which is a huge compensation.

This woman you have your eye on at w*rk…does she know who you are? Do you & she get on ok? Do you have e-mail at w*rk? If so, you could ask her without it having to be a) awkward or b) face-to-face. Is she even available?

I’m no expert at flirting or chatting people up, at least, I don’t think I am. However, I have had a remarkable success rate over the last two 18 months. It comes down to confidence, something I’m not over-stocked with, but nobody else has to know that. Another thing I’ve found in many cases like this, my own included, is if you worry about saying the wrong thing you end up saying nothing at all. Sometimes, the thing your instincts tell you is the wrong thing to say is actually the right thing to say, and it’s only fear telling you otherwise. For example, if I notice a female colleague has had her hair done, I’m quite likely to say something like, “Your head’s different!”

As far as the attention you’re attracting from the –ahem- less stunning ladies goes, be ready to lower your expectations if you’ve got nothing better on offer. Doesn’t do you any favours to be too fussy & besides, you never know, often people of unconventional looks are a hell of a lot more fun!

good advice

will try my acting clas tonight instead!

last night

no guilt or repercussions!
