    Be comfortable in what you're wearing. A good long skirt that you don't have to worry about is much better than a short one that you're forever tugging at because it's allowing a reconnaissance mission of the Kyber Pass.

    Smile. It stops you looking miserable, even if you are.

    Don't wink, it makes you look like Mad-eye Moody...

    Most men can't talk about themselves unless it's for an interview. Even then expect plenty of umming and aahing. If they can talk about themselves avoid them. Unless you wish to spend hours hearing about the subject.

    Avoid the married ones. They can be troublesome...

    :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: I'm ok on the skirts - never do short as I'm too old and too tall.

    I will be smiling but will make sure I don't wink.

    So now I won't ask them about themselves.... mmm... what does that leave?:confused:

    I always avoid the married ones!

    You can ask them about themselves, but have a plan B in case:
    1. They can't talk for more than 5 seconds about it.
    2. They can talk for more than 50 seconds about it.

    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    :rotfl: make sure you start tapping your foot if he goes over the 50 secs:p

    If he only lasts for 5 seconds...............he is definitely NOT the one for you;)

    Tsk, tsk - I'm not that sort of girl.... well, not usually... just had a call of one of my pals which was a relief as I thought she was cancelling but she wasn't, it's weird how you can misinterpret a text!

    Wrong time for hay rolling really, it's all icy round here...

    and I'm all happy cos my £2.50 lipgloss has arrived and the book I ordered is here too (Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian bought 2nd hand from Play) which is just in time as I've read the books I bought last week.
