He's rubbish at arguments

So are you not going to send him away for training..?

This time I'm being stubborn and won't back down so the silence is a bit long. Hmmm...so that's a large hole digging kind of silence I guess.

And his is a hole digging kind of silence too?

And don't worry about the lack of eating - it won't last long as I love my food far too much! Am just eyeing up some Tescos finest bangers to go with this fab mash I've got....comfort food central!!! (Just can't be bothered to cook...yet).

Try sharing it with hubby, so instead of a "post argument" kind of silence, you have a "mouth full" kind of silence. The nicer kind...

Oh Freebird!

This won't just result in weight loss! You'll also get deep furrows from all that frowning. Then you'll be on the botox trail. :eek:

Is this a Big Issue or a small problem? I suggest you get his favourite food and coax him gently out of his bad mood. He's probably as upset as you are but the universal truth is that men don't show it. Unless you belt them.

One of you needs to start talking. The strong thing would be to get in there first. You don't have to apologise.

Good luck xxx

Hi everyone.

Freebird, how're you doing, any improvement in the stand-off?

So quick up-Date :rotfl:

Had a lovely evening, went to gorgeous village pub/restaurant, he paid for dinner. We talked and laughed the whole time and I'm meeting him at lunchtime on Thursday. Still a bit uncertain, but he's very gentlemanly and made me laugh, he's very tall, I'm 5' 2", so most people seem tall, but he's very tall.

On a FFW note, I had a vegetarian dish, stuffed aubergine something, and did not eat too many potatoes, also was not drinking as was driving so on low-cal appletiser. No pudding.

Woo hoo bobbly!

Second date .... tomorrow!!!!

Course, we expect to be kept up-Dated!

Hey bobble hat! We're in the same place so maybe you would like to share the name of the place you went to as I am a veggie and always looking for nice places to eat!

Glad you had a wonderful night - it sounds great.

By the way,have you checked out the new noodle bar near Charters? (ooops forgot which thread I am in!) I am curious to know what it is like.

Noodles are thin therefore by eating them you will be thin also.

I wonder if that is true......

Actually I should point out that whilst I am always curious about places to eat....I don't eat out *that* often! It is a luxury....

Whey bobbly....delighted to hear the date went so well!!! Fluffy dates are always good

I'm liking the theory about noodles being thin, therefore scoffer of said noodles is too.......am huge fan of noodles and happy to spend a few weeks eating them to test this theory. :rolleyes:

OH update.....thank you all for kind words and sorted advice....you're right of course. So last night I gritted my teeth and made the first move....the look of relief on his face was immense. Asked him why I always had to make the first move and he said (with a sheepish grin) "Cos I'm crap and was scared you'd squish me like an annoying fruit fly". All made up now....:D

Thanks all xxx

Hi Looking Ahead

Tried noodle bar last week, had fried bean curd and mushrooms with noodles, only 1 veggie dish on offer! Lovely though.

Went to the Cuckoo in Alwalton, only 1 veggie dish on menu, but apparently they have more if you ask. Was yummy. Lovely place and really nice staff too.
