    It's too easy to over think.  Just go on the next date with an open mind and you'll have a much better idea after that.  If all else fails, turn up naked and bring beer.  That usually does it for us chaps image

    Madame O my OH and I were mates before I realised I actually fancied him...  Then the worry about whether he's actually flirting with me or am I seeing things... am I misinterpreting his kind offer to drive 160 miles to fix my car - maybe he's just being friendly and helpful and I'm going to make a complete tit of myself etc etc...  I'm so glad I took the risk.  Best thing I ever did.  image  Funny thing was he had the same thoughts at the time, the "is it just banter or am I seeing things" kind of quandry.  LOL

    Hahaha, I'm not really into uniforms! But yes, it's easy to overthink, especially when it's a way of life in general.

    Sound advice though BDB, thanks for the male perspective. Although he doesn't really drink beer. Will vodka do instead?

    Thanks Corinth. I know this is public, but to be honest I'm not worried about people reading what I wrote; I wouldn't put anything up here that I really wouldn't want anyone to read. Mind you, it is easy to forget sometimes that anyone in the world could read all the crap we spout on here! Hahaha. Sorry the potentially fantastic relationship didn't work out... I do have some good friends from here that I talk to off-line too, so it is all good image

    Glad the date went well MadameO image I too am a terrible over thinker when it comes to blokeys, but as everyone says, just chalk it up as a first date success, and since he said he wants to do it again, you can relax about that, and just enjoy the next one image And remember, if you can't be good, be careful! image Hee hee hee

    I think most drinks would work Madame, provided the first bit is followed correctly.

    The friends first thing can always be tricky.  My last girlfriend was a friend first.  We did start to flirt a bit by text and when we saw each other.  I did the "is she really flirting?" thing, as, it transpires was she.  We ended up having a boozy lunch and things kind of went from there, but that was full of mind traps too.  

    Funny things are people.

    That's how I got Mr LB......image

    LOL I didn't ask first - I just pounced.  I thought if he gives me a slap and runs away it's bad news...  He didn't.  image

    WELL.

    Date was good. I like him, as in *like* him. But not sure if he feels the same... it's hard to tell at this stage, although he says he wants to do it again so there's a chance he does.

    I hate this bit. All the anxiety and 'what if's... part of me is excited that I've met someone I'm attracted to, but the other side is scared of getting hurt.

    Don't worry what happens happens just relax and chill. Hear listen to some NIN.

    was 'loin' an intentional mispell of 'lion' - suppose it should be as we are on dirtymind track of sex-again....

    Pleased to hear that the date went well Madame O, I had been wondering.  I'm right with you on the over analysis of subsequent texts etc. but assume the 'what will be, will be' philosophy and it may well be pretty darn good image

    I'm thinking Loin books would always be hardback? image

    LOL Cake & Pea.  Yes I needed rather a lot of reassurance didn't I.  Poor Rio and Sprocket got it as well, all this "shall I shant I"... Teehee...  Even when I met his parents again his mum elbowed his dad and squealed "You see I TOLD you its the girl from Switzerland!" image

    Seems like everyone had it sussed well before us!

    I have told the story in the Kitchen and in the Runners Arms, I can't believe you've not heard that one BDB. 

    It's more image than image whereas Hash's is definitely more imageimage

    Put your popcorn away and move on, there's nothing to see ....
