References and testimonials
So, some guy I like shockingly claims he doesn't want to be my boyfriend. He's playing hard to get, in an extreme and ever-so realistic way. Something about an age gap and me not being the woman of his dreams. It's almost as if he truly doesn't want me as a girlfriend. Obviously he's delusional. I am thinking of obtaining good references and letters of support from people so that he will reconsider my application. Al's mum is already composing a glowing tribute.

During her tenure here she has consistently demonstrated excellence in the field, along with a thirst for knowledge and a true passion for getting hands on.

Dear Mr Clueless...
I think you should go out with CHCB as she is lovely, and a bit of a goer, by all accounts.

I am not stating this based purely on stuff I have read on the internet either. Oh no. I've met her twice, and despite being Norn Irish she did not attempt to blow me up or anything, which is OK in my book.

Yours,

DG.

To whome it may concern
I'm writting to you in regards to "Crack House Ceilidh Band a.k.a. CHCB" and her current status of singledom, and what we can do to rectify the situation.

Aside the ovbouse qualitys that stand out like a beckan in the night, I can reliably and fully inform you that she would be a perfect candidate for potential mate. She is modest to say, but she is the world's only holder of 25 michiline stars, and has been known to turn ASDA Value Fish Fingers into Lobster, a skill that is rare indeed. Her housekeeping skills are second to none, she once opened her home (and her heart (and the hearts of the nation)) to the general public, where she recieved status from The British Hotel Athority of 10 Stars, they actually had to adjust the layout of their latest magazine to acomidate such an acolade. She is goal orietated and has achieved results in the ongoing research into the elimitation of homeless people, her sollution and plees to the Europien Union to "Just sort it out, mate, c'mon." was backed by Kofie-Annan and resulted in instant housing for those relivent to the program. I've been reliably form that she is well equiped and armed for all bedroom anticks, according to Leonardo DiCaprio, Justin Timberlake and Stephen Fry.

In light of this news, I do hope you reconsider your opinion and as thus proced to woe her at the next avaible opertunity.

Kind Regards

Gonz

CHCB: "You're the one-that-I-want ... ooh-ooh ohhhhh" (ad nauseam)
There are lasses who'll drop their trollies for a one-nighter.
There are lasses who'll be yours after a glass of wine.
There are lasses who'll stay with you for no reason - other than convenience.

There are however, very few lasses who'd deliberately travel the world in a shagged out Polo.

This Sums up CHCB rather well. Always willing to push the extremes, but discerning, plotting, and after serious deliberation - like the mongolian rally - the extremes will be long, hard and seriously filthy with much dirt-road driving.

Turn down a lass like that, and it's simply because you're too chicken for the ride.

CHCB: Better than a microwaved water-mellon and a napkin ring rolled together - The ultimate seal of approval.

I've given up, really.
The trouble with having lots in common with someone is that stubborness is a shared trait also. Immovable object, unstoppable force.

This is all made more poignant by the fact that he is blind and retarded.

Now, my ideal relationship is one where I spend time with someone who is my friend and whom I care about and who I get to be monogamous with and have a good, fun, dirty time with, and yet I still have my own space and get to keep my independence and nothing seems prescribed or forcefully adhering to some kind of rigid social definition of cliched coupledom. And would involve booze.
I mean, is that too much to ask? Is it? Eh? EH?
