Oh, the excitment (for you, Chompy)
There is a little, tiny opportunity for Mark and I to work in Spain... so little and tiny that quite possibly, it won't happen. However, I'm so excited I've started checking salaries and other stuff.

On the other hand, I feel a bit mean today. My ex-boyfriend departed with the promise of keeping the friendship. I tried to do it, but usually he doesn't reply to my emails. I just learnt that he's getting married, which makes me feel happy for him, but sad among other things because he didn't tell me directly. I just learnt today as well that he's working for a crappy company, and that made me a bit happy, as her mother used to say that I wasn't good enough for him. Am I bad?

Soo, things that you didn't expect to happen, good or bad; and do you feel guilty about them?

Sometimes it's difficult to go out of a relationship. This crazy ex boyfriend of mine kept telling me he was going to commit suicide if I left him, so I stayed with him 2 years too many. After that, I decided to change tactics and told him to go on, kill yourself. He never did it.

(PsychoChomp, Wed 3 Nov 2010, 17:00, Reply)

I don't think it is needy to enjoy being complimented
desperately seeking them out, perhaps, but not just taking pride in having something good about you or your actions commented on.

the embarrassment thing is fair though

It's funny how you're all saying I've never been complimented
but everyone in the subthread has complimented me before.
(PsychoChomp, Wed 3 Nov 2010, 17:06, Reply)

also, I believe in giving praise where it's due. There's too much bitching and putting people down as it is. If someone does something good then I'll tell them.

he should feel guilty about this one!
my friend and i met a group of guys in grenada back in july who were staying at our hotel on a stag do. i got on really well with one of them, bit of an arrogant banker, but overall not at all unsexy. i was admittedly tempted - moonlight walks back from a beach bar along the caribbean could make neil kinnock tempting, frankly - but i did turn him down. he made me feel really guilty about leading him on. well, for about 5 mins anyway.

completely randomly just found out through a hitherto unsuspected mutual friend that he had a gf all along and has just got engaged.

unexpected news, but at least the residual guilt about unintentionally being a cocktease and the worry about failing to back the right horse has resolved into pure relief! his poor gf.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Wed 3 Nov 2010, 15:58, Reply)

Thing is.
If he is going on the pull when he isn't with his girlfriend, his marriage won't last as clearly he isn't happy.

I don't understand that cocktease thing
You're knowing each other for a few hours or days, and then decide if you want to have sex or not. The fact that men only need 1 milisecond to go for a "Yes, I want" doesn't mean that you can't take your time.

Poor girl the one that's going to marry him.

poor girl indeed.

Surely, 'accidental/unintended cocktease'
Is just the guy misreading signs, and it's therefore his fault, not yours?

we did flirt
and we did spend quite a few nights drinking late into the evening on the beach.

( rachelswipe with a fork, Wed 3 Nov 2010, 16:22, Reply)

He can think what he wants, but at least he got to spend some time with a cracking girl, and he clearly didn't deserve it.

Completely by chance I have just found out that Joanne Shaw Taylor's new album is being released in the UK at the end of next week
And that Hooverphonic are revealing the identity of their new singer at the end of this week.

Both of these are Good Things which have taken me completely by surprise. I feel no guilt, but perhaps a slight compunction that I have been whipped up into a childish frenzy of excitement by these musical developments.

Tenuous response, I know, I just wanted to share my excitement with somebody.
