but you would have been 16 at the time.

True enough
At 16 I was still pretty much unawareof what a woman was, barring my relatives who obviously don't count for the purposes of this conversation.

All Norfolk jokes will be ignored.

Really?
I was well aware from the age of about 12, but was painfully shy and had no social life (now there's a surprise) so took me until my 20s to have the opportunity.

Coupled with socially awkward and mostly shunned by the kids I'd gone to Primary School with, as they were all at the local comp together

I suspect you are right
I was 19, because I was a fat, geeky, metaller, stoner

lets just assume we all owned cagoules and NHS glasses. I think that's the most accurate thing to do

when I hit 14 or so I was allowed non nhs glasses. Foolishly I had massive plastic ones. Terrible. One day I'll dig out the picture of me with short hair in those things. *shudder*
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Tue 16 Aug 2011, 16:32, Reply)

I can see it in my mind.
Luckily my eyes didn't get bad til I was 15-16 and I managed to delay getting glasses until I was out of secondary school.

I've always had plenty of friends fortunately
I blame part of the whole late loss of virginity thing on the fact that I never met any girls who weren't interested in remotely the same things as me.

Meeting girls who were into rock music at university was an amazing experience for me.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 16 Aug 2011, 16:29, Reply)

So very this (last point)
Actually, meeting girls was pretty amazing full stop, I'd only just met my ex a few weeks previously and was still fairly wide-eyed about the concept. Meeting girls who liked the same screamy bands I did was fucking brilliant.

Personally
I couldn't find either of you any hotter if you told me you were totally into D&D as teenagers.

Mind you, you both beat me in age and time, so I'm hardly one to talk...

Well, for me anyway, Darth was probably much more macho.

I was into football until I got to Uni, does that count?
Then I took up LARPing...

and that's when he really started hitting it off with the ladies

( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Tue 16 Aug 2011, 16:31, Reply)

Given the male/female ratio in LARP
I'm amazed female LARPers are ever single.

Sorry, this probably does not help.

It's the gathering a week Friday, biggest of all the larp events. Time to try and pull, perhaps

You can try and pull my Cousin if you like, he's single and will likely be there. Actually I should find a way to introduce you, I think you might get along.

What faction?
Is it going to turn out I know him?
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Tue 16 Aug 2011, 16:38, Reply)

Probably not.
I don't know factions, he was being a wherewolf last I talked to him, or maybe a vampire or both. Have Texted him to see if he's going.

you can't be a werewolf
and a vampire. That's crazy

he has been known to be playing mor than one system at any given time.
Having looked up The Gathering, I suspect he may not be playing you system but the name sounds familiar so I may have heard him mention it.I'll Gaz you his real name and see if I can dig out details from his Facebook.
( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Tue 16 Aug 2011, 16:45, Reply)

Ironically, yes
All the female friends I made who were into metal decided to give LARP a go. As I was less grossly overweight than most LARPers, I was reasonably popular.
