good for you
tennis man?

Yep yep yep yep yep!
The only downside is, I think he saw me gleefully skipping to the car. And it might just be friendly drinks rather than sexy drinks, if you see what I mean.

Well if he objected to the skipping
he'd probably have cancelled :P

Good for you! I'm glad you got the courage

It was easier than I thought
I said I'd been out last night and he (jokingly) said 'well, where was my invite?' so I just shrugged and asked him if he fancied going for a drink on Friday.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

Go you!
Nice skills

It was one of those moments
where I just said it without really thinking it through and then went aaaaaaagh why did I say that? How did that slip past the internal editing process? but he just went a bit pink and laughed and gave me his number.

How's stuff with you anyway? Any progress on your cute man? And the dreaded 't' word?
(berk, Sun 13 Mar 2011, 21:53, Reply)

haha maybe your internal filter
thought it was time to break.

No progress I'm afraid, though I keep bumping into him. I messaged two people on okcupid though.
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Sun 13 Mar 2011, 22:01, Reply)

Well now I no longer feel utterly hypocritical doing so
I shall encourage you to make overtures to cute man. Not like symphonic overtures. I mean sexy advances. I'm sure he'll say yes.
Are the two on okcupid cute too?
(berk, Sun 13 Mar 2011, 22:08, Reply)

They're cute
but it's more that I really liked their profiles.
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Sun 13 Mar 2011, 22:10, Reply)

Yeah, I have a couple of people saved
on the basis of the stuff they've written. But since my own profile is completely blank, I haven't messaged them.
I very much approve of the first link, he sounds - and looks - lovely. What makes you think you're not the third ones type?
(berk, Sun 13 Mar 2011, 22:19, Reply)

Read his profile
he's quite different. Looks fun but I doubt we'd gel.

Well neither has replied and one of them has definitely been online. I think I need a cuter picture
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Sun 13 Mar 2011, 22:23, Reply)

He sounds interesting, for sure
possibly too much of a party animal to keep up with though! I felt tired just reading that. But meh, what have you got to lose by messaging?
And I'm sure he - whichever one it was that was online - will get back to you, maybe he's just thinking of something charming and witty...
(berk, Sun 13 Mar 2011, 22:26, Reply)

Haha it was quite tiring
and I'd probably break him.

Let's hope so. Let's hope that if he does I've found a picture that doesn't make me look like an obese Camilla Parker-Bowles crossed with a marmoset

hey if
I'm not allowed to put myself down, you definitely aren't

I actually found a picture of me
that pretty much was just that
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Sun 13 Mar 2011, 22:36, Reply)

Shush you
you are very pretty and very clever. If they don't message you back it is very definitely their loss.

Top work
well done! You're an inspiration.

Given how atrocious I am at that kind of thing
I am actually bloody proud of myself. And filled to the brim with GLEE that he said yes, obviously.
(berk, Sun 13 Mar 2011, 22:20, Reply)

I think perhaps your libido
overcame your internal filter.
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Sun 13 Mar 2011, 22:22, Reply)

It's entirely possible...

(berk, Sun 13 Mar 2011, 22:26, Reply)

wooohooo!
make the very friendly drinks
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Sun 13 Mar 2011, 21:46, Reply)

I'll just wear a short skirt
and get him drunk. Job's a good 'un.
(berk, Sun 13 Mar 2011, 21:48, Reply)

short skirt wedding dress
drunk in the neck with a tranquilizer dart from a blowpipe

Ugh marriage
no thanks.
(berk, Sun 13 Mar 2011, 22:08, Reply)

if the date goes awry it'll still come in useful.
