But don't forget that you already know that he fancies you - but he doesn't know the same about you... so in case you are both shy, you have less to loose...how can you move around in a cinema? Don't you have just to sit down there?

BP I know you said things were complicated now but they might get worse if yous do start going out [unsure]. Well they could be better but it depends on the people. I "dated" (we call it "meeting" here) my ex for about 3 and a half months before we started going out (and um, he was sort of pushed into it ... ) and we broke up 2 weeks later. He wasn't the commitment type ..

I'm really pessimistic, sorry [] . It will probably work out much better for you because you're a bit older than me and yous can work things out. I hope that whatever you decide to do works for you []

I'm not sure.. can just invite people without descussing it the other "guests".. [rolleyes] [lol]

How many "other guests" are there??[huh]

jamie and maria..

Maria won't mind ...

Bloody hell, I can't BELIEVE what's happening!!!!!!!! My ex-boyfriend added me to msn and is now telling me about girls he likes that he's torn between. I don't want to hear about this! Sorry, very angry now []

edit: arghh why did he add me? I'm gonna block him lol

He's obviously just an idiot, you just don't do that! you never ever want to know about an ex's lovelife.

that's very ood..! it's not that you wouldn''t wanna be interested in an ex's life or love-life, but you kind of have to become friends first.. otherwise it's just kind of shitty..

Well, I'm single, and it sucks. Proper. There is nothing worse than going into the festive season with out someone to share it with. I think it is the one time of the year where singles feel more single and lonely, and those in love feel more in love and closer to their partners. Why is that? I think it's just a very "loving" time of year. Valentines day, yeah I guess, but maybe more on the physical side, although others may differ in opinion there... But Christmas time seems to be more about giving and sharing. Be it gifts, cards or... Love. So I fall into the bracket of feeling more single I suppose... Mince!

Where I live (Ayr) I just can't seem to find someone who is not a fruit loop! What is wrong in wanting to find someone to share good time with? To sit in front of the fire with with a cuppa, a good film and bad takeaway, to have to cuddle up to at night, you know? Who wants to go out every weekend and get trolleyed anyway?

Maybe I'm getting old...HaHa! Anyway, that's my wee moan over!

 Smiles

^ I understand that...

It kinda happens the same to me.... I hate when the Holidays arrive and I don't have someone by me... During Christmas and stuff, every feeling is stronger and I always think of the ones that aren't with me anymore...

But when it comes up to love, I don't know... I get depressed... I never find the perfect guy... When I meet a boy I always say 'I'm not gonna fall in love with this one' But damn! it happens... []

And I always get hurt, 'cos one way or another they end up in disappointing me.

I don't like being alone thiking about how loving someone that loves you back feels... I wanna be loved and respected, not be used by a guy... Perhaps this happens because 'Mr. Right' hasn't arrived to my life yet, but hey! I don't even think that he exists!

It's awful to want a relationship and when you meet someone, you end up realizing that he wants some 'quickie' and 'hey!! it was good to know you! I call you!'

Anyway... I have lots of things to say, but if I keep on writing I'll never go to bed!

Love!!

Felix in case you're male and single and you will write something
slightly intelligent also in the other threads,  you should rather
be prepared that your mailbox (why have I almost written "malebox"
[ph34r]) will explode soon.

Anyz, I really understand how you
feel, I was single for a very long time too - but looking back I see so
many advantages of having a long term relationship rather later in your
life. It means that you can make so many important decisions about your
future all on your own and don't have to make compromises too early.
And so you will meet the right man as the woman you have become on your
own, who knows what she wants, who lives where she wants... and then a
relationship can be so much better than when you find yourself stucking
in a live with 24 full of  agreements because of a guy, who
probably isn't what he promised to be some years ago.

Try just to
make best of the life you have and of your future - and then your
chances are not bad that you will find a man who really "fits" to
you. 

 

Seem to have a bit of a different view of singledom I think.

Since I’ve, and not ashamed to admit this, never had a serious relationship in my life And yes I am indeed 22, but it drives me mad when people aww at me for that reason or are wondering what is wrong. According to many people I’ve crossed in my life I am just being ‘too picky’. But that is just not how I see it  since I really never felt I was missing something . Had my hands full in sorting myself out and doing what I wanted and I am quite happy with the fact that I could just pack up my stuff and move to another country for a while. Whereas relationships have stopped other people from even moving an hour away from home to go to uni.

Having joked about how I’ll be a spinster for the rest of my life I however must admit that is not the way I hope my life turn out to be. I do think what drives most things in life is love and what people eventually look for is someone to be with, including yours truly. But in that process I am happy the way it is, not planning to go on a search. Although yes especially in times like this when everything and everybody focuses on the greatness of being with people it does make me feel the same way every now and then.

I have to agree with me28, that's the way I fell, though I haven't been able to move around yet, because i'm still in school.. but when i'm finished I'm moving to switzerland for a year, then to england and who knows afterwards, that's just what I have decided to do for now.. but I'm sure as hell not going to let a guy keep me from doing the things that I want to do. (had to make the I bigger [lol])

for now I'm just looking for a good time, with one person or just casually.. and I won't be settling down for a while, I first have to explore the world, get a carrier and, well, have loads of fun.. and I don't think I can do that in the same way, IF I was in a serious relationship... plus, I'm not a person who, I haven't tried yet but.., functions good in a serious relationship, atleast not a the moment.. AND I'm not wanting to get pregnate and married when I'm 18.. or 20 years old for that matter..

I totally agree to you Linda. Relationships are rather a disadvantage, when you are just making decisions for the rest of your life, planning your future, improving your education and so an... that's just the time for short flirts and for developping your own personality.Anything else limits your possibilities too early and unnecessarily. I mean, ok, if you had a partner, who would be ready to go with you everywhere you wanted and support you whatever you do...that could be great for a while [lol]... but probably he would be angry after a while to be limited himself by you....

We all live longer, we can build families later and still have children at the age of  even 40 as women...I think we should take that as a great gift, former generations fighted for, and we should make the very best of it, and develop ourselves. When they call you too picky Linda, that only means you can't see why you should live together with someone, who doesn't promise to make your life happier as it is now... and that's just reasonable, isn't it? 

I don't mind to be in a commited relationship now, but I only had very short affairs until I was 25. And I know exactly that if I agreed to stay together with only one of them I would have missed the best opportunities in my life. If I staid together with the first one, I wouldn't have left my home town, if I staid together with the second one, I wouldn't have left for my year abroad in Paris, if I staid with the third I would have abandoned my PhD.

Sadly the gender relations are still so, that a men expect support and understanding of their women, but are not ready for the same compromises supporting her. And as long as that doesn't change, being single is a good option until you really found your place in the world.

I suppose the advantages of a relationship (be it long- or short-term) is that there's somebody there that cares about you, that you can ring whenever you feel like it and who'll take care of you when you're not your best. And then you have the physical side too.

And then disadvantages were what Linda and Maja already said - you have to consider the other person almost all the time and you can't just jump on your high horse and move away because you've got to consider them. Oh and your heart gets broken if it ends lol (meh, that'd be the pessimistic side of me [lol])

(tracey, maja, about the other thing - I know, its sooooo stupid. I'm on msn now but offline cause he's on haha. My friend reckons he was talking about me ... he started going on about what santa was bringing me and said that he was talking to him and that santa told him that he was going to bring HIM [blink] [blink] ... I told him I had to go and finished the conversation a bit abruptly [lol] I'm trying not to talk about it though because its boring everyone to tears and I'm well aware of it [unsure])

 

It does suck being single at christmas time, i wasn't last year but i am this year!

Aw you don't bore us Eilìs, just tell what you wanna share. I agree to your list of advantages, but then - perhaps you don't have to find all that in the same person. You can have best friends you can ring at any time and who can ring you (perhaps even friends with benefits []), you can date and go out for a bit of thrill. Of course it's not that deep as a really good relationship - but then, who knows if your relationship will be that good? When you are single you always dream of an ideal relationship, but in reality most bf's are quite annoyed when you ring them at night out of their sleep, only because you just feel like talking to them. 

I agree it's nice to have someone you love and trust around you, mainly at christmas (and mainly when you don't come along well with your parents) - but I also already spent nights at christmas at my favorite pub - and that's just the time where you can make deep friendships there, because you feel close to another person in the same situation as you easily. 

Good to read about how other people approach and feel about the subject of love.

I have loved a couple of girls very very much, but I have only been in love once. It was a love at first sight thing, you know the kind of thing that happens to someone else! She was a Canadian and to cut a long story short, she came here and I went there and then she was going to come over here to live but things happened and we ended up not getting together. It was absolutely heart breaking, and even now, five years later(!) I still harbour a very stong feeling for her and carry a "what if" into every day. Nobody since then has come close to touching me in the same way but, I believe I will find a happiness like that again. With who and when, who knows, I think that is part of the beauty of love and relationships. The unpredictability of it all.

One thing that will be a bit of a tough one for me to find love is that I'm hopefully joining the forces early next year. To touch upon a thread that someone just wrote above (forgive my forgetfullness in the name...) there is a part of me that is a little pleased to be single just now as going away to join up, is my thing. It's a dream I've had for years and not having someone who "depends on me" makes everything there a lot easier for me. Who knows what the future will bring, but whatever it does, I will be doing what I belive is my vocation and on meeting that (crazy) person they will take me as they find me, a guy who will be away for long periods every now and then. I'm 25 and have "played the game" a lot in those years, so just now, I'm not really looking for serial one night stands, quite the opposite... but finding an independant person who is on the same wavelength there as I am is going to be a nightmare. I guess I will see it there when the time is right.

 In the words of Joe Dolce, I'm going to "shuttupamaface" now...

I have a bad habit of just rambling on and on and on and on and on and....

val... you do know you can block people on your msn... right?

Quick thing to say as don't want what I said to come across as me being against relationships.

Because I know a number of people who did the same thing as me (ie study in another country) and are in a relationship. It's just that I do really think people mostly get stopped from doing things they want.

Plus and this is what I might not get across rightfully but I'll give it a go. I see a relationship to be something to extend your happiness in. Not a requirement for happiness. Like some people seem to 'need' to be in a relationship to be happy in their life.

Oliver (if I remember that to be the right name?) - I actually find it quite refreshing to see a guy be that way. For some reason (mainly I suppose by all prejudices in my head but nevermind) most guys/men I encounter, in fact I live with a bunch at the moment, seem to have a very once tracked mind......

Val - if he buggers you a lot do block him, I agree on that bit. But after what I said earlier my experience I am not the one to give advice [] And you don't bore us I believe that is actually what the topic was about anyway.

I read that first line and I went [] and then I was like 'oh she just meant friends' ... until I read the rest and realised you didn't [lol] [lol]

Thanks m'dear. Its nice to get stuff of my chest, I don't mind if anyone replies or not lol.

yup, done it!

I think I know something worse.  Try knowing you have someone that you could very well share it with, but that person is neither here nor there as far as a relationship is concerned.  You both want to be together but both know that it will not happen.  I know I've told and retold the story here so many times, but once more won't hurt.  (It just might make some people groan.) 

I am crazy about one of my best friends (Will).  He was also roommates and best friends with my favorite ex-bf.  (I say favorite because we are on good terms and are good friends.)  Both guys are in the US Army, though are stationed about as far apart as they can get in the Continental United States.  My ex will be in Germany by 18 December, in fact.  He is currently in Virginia, and Will is in Texas.  I have an idea that Will is just as crazy about me as I am him.  But the little half-triangle we created for ourselves is standing in the way.

We will see each other at Christmas.  So, we will be physically together, but it is not the same as spending Christmas with a significant other.  It will possibly be worse than simply being single.  I'll let you know.

 

Don't worry, I'll never groan []

That must be such a bad feeling - knowing you like someone and knowing they like you but knowing that nothing can ever happen [] What would Will say if something did happen K?

Depends on what you mean by "something."  [] [lol]  I think something like "don't tell Travis."  (my ex)  Like I said, I know we pretty much feel the same way.  It's just a matter of leaving things in the past where they belong.  Travis is far away, long over me, and with a new girl (who I know, and that's kind of weird).  I don't know what he would think about all this anymore.  In the past, Will was "banned" for me by Travis.  Completely understandable.... back then.  Will just doesn't see it like I do.

A kiss, what did you think I meant? [] I'm innocent [rolleyes] hehehe

I should have phrased it better anyway lol - would he keep going with the kiss or back away because its his friend's ex (ie. you)? And if Travis has got a new girl, and someone you know, why can't you go out with someone he knows? I know I did that before (I just didn't know at the time [ph34r] ... and even when I found out, I didn't really care [ph34r]). What do you think Travis would say about it all if he knew anyhow?

I knew what you mean.  The wink was a hint.  Hey... HE kissed ME.  And no, I didn't back away. []

Why can't I date someone he knows?  Because that someone is his best friend and roommate for three years.  It's more complicated than just knowing him.

I honestly think Travis might be a bit annoyed at first, but then give me a *huff* and an "okay."  I think he is smart enough to realize we have both moved on, both emotionally and physically.  I dunno.  The three of us have never had a serious talk about this.  (Not together.  I mean, me&Travis, me&Will... I can't speak for Travis&Will.)  I never talk to Will (on the phone) long enough to get serious about it all.

That is a situation... Maybe if you wait a little until your ex starts to see someone new, then it may "soften" the impact of you and Wil getting together. if the two of you guys are both in the same boat about feeling the same for each other. I think you have to try and do something. But obviously the situation youa re in makes things that much more harder.

I know how being away from someone you love aches. it's almost gut wrenching at times, but you have a cheeky twist that turns it in even more knots for you.

 ...Silly Story but true. Any advice?...

I was going to ask a girl out who works in a shop here (Next) <--- why write the name? It has no relevance! Anyway, I was going to ask a girl out from there, they got some cracking deals on for Christmas you know! Right, back to the point. I saw this girl about a week or so ago. Thought she was very pretty (any one still use that word?) and I kinda recognised her too. Thought about for a few days and though, "I'll ask her out for a coffee, or something just as thrilling. (Bunjee Jumping perhaps?) So, I go in to "Next" to see her but she was not in. Never mind, try again tomorrow. Again, not working. "Bloody hell" I'm thinking! So by chance on on Saturday, I go in with my mum as she met me on my lunch break and she wanted to look for boring christmas junk. Then "my" girl walks past and throws me a nice little smile and a friendly "Hiya". So, I'm thinking, "Either she knows me, and where from, the penny has not dropped. Maybe a friend of an ex? I hope not! Or, she was checking me out, I hope so! Although knowing my luck it will be the former! Later on, I think sod it, I'll go for it. I ain't waiting another few days of her being off and not getting to. So later on that day, I go in. Looking for her and really starting to feel like a prize stalker, I mean, I have been loafing around this shop in all departments, home, mens, women and kids to see if she is in... So armed with little more that a "S**t myself smile" and absolutely no idea what to say. I wander around the shop. I step through a door-like-thing from one depatment to another, and she is standing there. So my mouth opens and words, I have no idea what they were as I stopped them before they left! I smile, she smiles, but, with a look in her eyes as if to say"Are you ok you weird guy who looks like he was going to say something but has just changed his mind?" and I walk right past her... Man I excell at being cool! Today I go to go in after talking about it with my pals. She was not working. I was about to ask one of the girls she works with when she would be in next, but I have no idea what her name is...

I'll keep you posted...

Just saw replies as I was and see the other guy has a girl... As much as they were room mates for three years and best pals, I think that you should try ease into it slowly. "Test the water" so to speak. If it totally blows up you could have a re think about how to approach it all. But either way, i stuill think you should go for it.

I'm so innocent that I didn't even pick up on that [lol] (my friends say that sexual innuendos go right over my head ... so true!) . Can I ask if it was a passionate kiss ..?

Oh Felix, I bet the girl didn't think of you as weird! I'd almost say she was giving you a hint by saying hi [] ASK HER OUT! []

Oh, my ex has been with someone else since February.  Will is just stubborn... or something.  [rolleyes]  Stupid cheeky twist.

 Advice?  Damnit man!  You should have said something.  Get some balls.  [lol]  I jest.  The only thing I can think of is just going back again and again.  But, she might see you again and again and think you are stalking her.  That is why you HAVE to say something.  Beginning with "I'm sorry if it seems like I am following you around."  or something to that affect.

edit - Go for it indeed... slowly and cautiously. [] 

Poor thing.  It'll all come to you in good time.  Passionate?  I'll say.  And surprising.  (Are you trying to live vicariously through me?  [lol] ) 

ditto the second part. 

Tomorrow I shall go in there, "Ball's in hand" and ask that pretty girl out damn it!!! HaHa!

You Go!  Best of luck!

Noooooo of course I'm not [lol] But you can tell how much the other person wants something by the way they kiss (especially if they've initiated it [])

Felix, please let us know how things go and best of luck []

It's in his kiss. [lol]

if you go in there with your balls in your hand.. uhm.. then she might actually think you're weird []

Well, I went in today...

...and?!

... it was interesting.

 I went in when I finished work today and popped up the stairs to see her and I could not see her. So, I asked one of her work mates if she could tell me whet the name of the girl with long-ish dark hair was. There are about 5 girls in the shop with long dark hair, so kinda gutted that was all I with me to aid my inverstigation! So, she said, "does she have slight red through her hair", and i was like, yeah she does! "Her name is Laura..." Ace. I can stop calling her "The NEXT Girl", which kind of makes me sound like a serial dater of something. I gotta tell you though, my heart was racing. I was mega nervous. You have just missed her, she has gone for her lunch break literally a minute or two ago.. typical. I get the balls to ask her and she heads out for a sandwich! So, I head off and do some shopping and head of to the doctors (I'm fine thank you! haha)

 When I return from the doctors, I go to head into "Next" but then I think again, and divert to another shop. Finally thinking, "Right, let's go", head off to Next. Zip up the stairs and to the home department where the girl I spoke to earlier was. I asked if she was back from her lunch and she said, yes she was. Great. So I head off with my balls in hand and go for a quick scoot aroung the Mens depatment. I hear a call over the PA system. "Would Laura please make her way to the Home Department". Oh bugger I think, What is this girl doing to me! I'm outta here! So I head off down the stairs, As I'm walking down, she is walking up. She trips and starts to fall so I run down and catch her... She looks into my eyes. We pause. Then we kiss.... What a moment! We didn't really, though I thought that would be pretty bloody funny and mega! I look over the shop floor and I see her there. With about 4 other work mates. I think, "Aye, watch me! Lamb to the slaughter. No thanks!" So, I head off to do some more "window shopping" or some other equally boring time passing activity to grab more of my balls! I head off for about 20 mins and then think, "Just go and bloody do it!" So I do. I head in to the front doors and then to the Kids department. I thought, I can not back down now. Can I? So I see one of the girls who work ther and ask her " Excuse me, is Laura working just now?" So she goes over to the cash register and asks one of the other girls. She then get's on the old PA system...  "Would Laura please make her way to the Children's department...!" Oh, Bloody hell! I'm totally rooted to the spot thinking what the hell am I doing! Then Laura comes over to me. Wow. She is more beautiful the closer you get to her. Deep eyes of bluey-green that you could just get bloody lost in, dark brown hair with a tint of red. This is where it goes to bloody cringe time! I hold my hand out... I dont bloody kiss it thankfully, but shake it! What the hell!? I say, "Hi' I'm Oliver" at the same time my mind is screaming at me "You want to ask her for a bloody coffee! You are not having a job interview, you nut!" She says "Hello."  I am either drowning in those eyes or in my own nerves! Either way, I'm going under! I "um" and "ah" for a few seconds that seemed to last for ages and ask "Can I take you out for a coffe or, lunch or, something, perhaps. Maybe?" What a bloody loser! The devil in me is really laughing at me while the sensible part of me just want to floor to open up! Right away, she smiles and says "Yes, ok". Now I was not expecting this at all to be honest. So I literally say "Great. I didn't really expect you to say that. Great." My head is saying "Stop saying great you berk!" I think she could see I was really struggling, and bless her, she says "Do you want me number?" I was like, "Yeah that would be great". She gave me the number so bloody fast I have no idea if i even put the correct one in! I hope to hell I did! Can you imagine me going back there to say "Hi, Im an idiot. I put the wrong mnumber into my phone.... can you give it to me again?" She says when do you want to meet and I said, Thursday or friday? She said "Great" I say "great, I'll text you later".

 So, I head off feeling the dogs bollerocks afterr finally grabbing mine, but also feeling like a right bloody tube!

So there you go. Where a simple "I got her number" would have sufficed, I give you the whole story! Next step, I texther. What do i say now? Possibly " HI, this is oliver ther nervous guy from earlier. This is my number. Do you fancy doing something on thursday or friday?" Any Ideas?

 Ollie with a big smile on my face!

 

yaaaaay well done! [] lol one member of the forum's lovelife down, 50 more to go [lol]

ideas, ideas ... "hey its Oliver from earlier/yesterday/the other day. Just thought I'd text you so you'd have my number." and the rest of what you said is good! []

I want to be invited to the wedding by the way 

Awwww, you're so sweet! I have no advices to give as I'm an idiot when it comes to romances. Besides, I'm only 17, I shouldn't even know what that word means...

 

All I can say is: Remember to tell the whole story next time too, I love to read them!

That was a great story!  So glad you didn't just say "I got her number." 

When setting the date, don't give more than one option right away.  Suggest one day after work or some similar time.  If you set a specific time, she'll know you have a pair.  Plus girls like when guys can take charge over date plans (at least in the beginning).  If it doesn't work for her, she'll let you know.

yay! glad you grabbed your balls one last time and got it done (you should have seen my facial expresion when you wrote they called her over the speakers!)

anyhoo, I think you text is fine, but perhaps just put a bit of val texts in there aswell.. []

 

and do please remember to write the entire stiry next time aswell..

Oliver, your story is like some sort of sweet romance novel []. I loved reading it...keep us updated on what happens next...every detail of the text messaging...the first date..the second date..etc []

 I met someone new yesterday!  He gave me his number on a piece of paper and said "Call me tomorrow"...so...now I suppose I will [:$][]
 

Well... I text the mumber. And still no reply. Enjoy.... haha

 I have my theory's about this! HaHa! I think that one, she just gave it to me to be nice but didn't really want me to text and is giving me the old bodyswerve! But, I think, and I mean this in all honesty. I was so bloody nervous about it that it took me two attempts to get her number into my phone. She seemed to say it so fast. I genuinely think that I put the wrong number into my phone! What a idiot! There is a part thinks when I asked what went after the 7 and she gave me the mumbers from there on. But I think I may have put a 4 in place of the 7 and therefore, have send a random message to someone else... Anyway, I went in to her work today, full of the thought that I'll go upto her and say, "Hi, I think I put the wrong number into my phone, can I have it again please!!!" Then as I was walking in through the doors, I thought. Maybe I didn't and she is doing some mad thing that girls sometime like to do, and obide by some set of mad rules... wait a day before replying to a text or call blah blah blah. So i thought, maybe that could be the case... The I would go in and appear all bloody mad and crazy like some kind of over possessive nutjob! So, thought, best not. By now, I was heading up the stairs to the mens dept and the famous homewear department. Then I saw one of my friends who I used to work with at my work, now working there. It ws her first day. So I told her the story and she laughed. So I then did something I wish I hadn't done although at the time, it seemd kind of good...Goodness knows why though!  I asked her, if she talks to Laura today could she be subtle and say that she knows me and how I think that I got the wrong number. I then gave my friend my number to give to her if she seemed keen etc. Then being the first day new girl, she might not feel that it is her place, you know. I said to though, if she felt uncomfortable doing it, then not to...Bugger. I wish I hadn't now.

I had thought about sending a text back to say... "Did I get the right number" or "is this Lauras phone as I think I may have the wrong number". I may even try to send one to the number that is a 7 and not a 4 in the middle...

Any suggestions. I just do not want to sound all that mad pushy way, you know, but I also think that I have really made the wrong number call! What a total diddy eh? Why can thigs not go bloody normal, I dont know!

 

[Oh, I notice I say "Bloody" a lot. Does anyone get offended? If so, PM in confidenceand I will try and refrain from using it... Ta!]

Well, I just sent the following to the number I have but with teh 7 in place of the 4...

"Hi... Is this Laura's number? It's oliver.x

 

We shall see...[:S]

(I know I don't write a lot here, but I do read the thread)

Let us know what answer you get Oliver!

I was thinking... perhaps she hasn't got credit on her mobile? I don't know how mobiles work there, but here you sometimes run out of credit and - if you cannot get a credit card to recharge it (i'm sorry but I don't know if I'm being clear - let me know) - you cannot answer anything...

Haha... You're too funny, Oliver.  That is why I prefer calling over texting.  Clears the mess up right away.  Hope it works out.

Aww, well perhaps she'll text back...if it is her number.  You should just have your friend ask her her number...like she wants it for herself and then check with the one you have and see if it's right.  Or you can just wait a few days and then go back and fess up if it's the wrong one.

I think the same thing happened to me...I tried to call the guy who gave me his number yesterday, but I got a voicemail for someone by a different name [huh].  I don't think he was trying to brush me off...he gave me his number without me asking him, but he also seemed really nervous, so now I'm wondering if he wrote down the wrong number (which I've done before when I was nervous around a guy), or if I can't read his writing and put in the right one...hmm.  I'm not too worried though...if it's meant to be something will work out [] .

 

Anyway, back to Oliver (this has seriously become the Oliver Romance Thread...I love it...your stories are so funny and interesting!)...I say to wait it out and then ask her again.  She won't think you're crazy, she'll probably find it very sweet and funny if you go ask for her number again...good luck.

 

And no, I don't mind at all!  I love British accents...they're so much more interesting than my boring "American" one...I love reading the posts from the British PNers on the site (and obviously I love hearing Jamie speak as well) [wub] []

 

Haha

well, Oliver.. (I feel asthough this is a part of the daily routine, answering your post.. which are some brilliant posts []).. I think you should play it "cool" a week or so - unless she actually answers you text - and if you don't hear anything, then go in there again and ask her - while being charming as hell! - for her number, as you were to nervous to write the right one down..

 

I completely agree with you! love, love, luuuuuuuuve the british accent, especially the slang.. that's why it's so lovely hearing jamie speak [wub]
