    Great plan, women love being hit on by creepy blokes while they're trying to buy furniture. Nothing turns us on more.

    I have a real soft spot for men like this :D

    Bit daft to be irritated by something if you don't know what it means :D!

    It can have different meanings depending on the context. For example, I'm about to have a visitor who started as a friend of my daughter and who spent a lot of time with us when things were difficult at home. I'll always have a soft spot for him. In that context it means I'll always care about him.

    I suspect the people who are telling you they have a soft spot for you are gently telling you they don't fancy you. Maybe that and everyone's response to your Ikea trip :rotfl: should tell you to rethink your approach to women ;).
    . . .I did not speak out

    Then they came for me
    And there was no one left
    To speak out for me..

    Quoted today...

    I would hazard a guess that still being awake at 6am and being slightly incoherent would suggest that they were meaning that tomorrow was Sunday, as they probably hadn't gone to sleep yet.

    Yeah, I would take it to mean they think you're a good friend but wouldn't want to see you naked.

    You asked this exact same question last year. Several times. The answer hasn't changed.
    ' <-- See that? It's called an apostrophe. It does not mean "hey, look out, here comes an S".

    "Soft spot" is a way of saying they like you but want to get to know you better.

    Write them a letter, tell them your life story, cry a bit and then threaten them. It's how all my relationships have started.

    You didn't believe me when I said DD1 gets regularly pestered as she works there, did you?


    MM could easily be one of them.
