I totally blown it guys :( - No I never! He likes me!!!

I think you look quite British to me

Just watch for yourself and don't let any crush take over your life. Losing weight is good if this is what you want to do, but if it just the crush that cuts your appetite, something isn't right. Enjoy your life and friends, if something happens with this guy, enjoy it, but don't expect too much from the relationship to start with and don't forget that ultimately as he has already told you, he doesn't want to get serious because he will be going home in the not too long future.

Hi,

I'm just going to ask him if he would like to go see a movie with me instead.

cute photie,

You could say, 'hey, thanks for getting me a taxi the other night, don't think those fancy drinks agree with me, god I suffered the next day.

I'd like to pay you back, fancy a quiet sensible drink later?

Don't feel inhibited, just face him and be yourself, bet you both end up laughing about it.

Be happy,

Keep us posted.

It might, just possibly, be a tad better to say 'I'd like to return the favour', rather than 'I'd like to pay you back', do you think?

After reading your comments I'm now hungry for pie and mash!! I also put my picture on my profile. I'm just a plain Jane see? Nothing special. I just long for the day where I meet a guy who sees me for me.

To be time accurate. Good morning people of the UK, have a blessed Sunday.

When my English son and American DIL and step grandson were recently over here for a visit, my DIL and grandson said they wanted to go for fish and chips, so we found an English chippy, who did the beer batter (only way to eat it) is an English owned restaurant doing the batter right.:T

They both then developed a real liking for mushy peas, and Wallys (very large gherkins), and insisted I bought some so that they could take some home lol

Tins of peas and jars of gherkins were wedged into all the cases..:rotfl: along with umpteen packets of Paxo stuffing, as my son loves it, and they can't get it over there.

Thankfully, going home, they got through your customs without being stopped, as I dread to think what your generally twitchy security services would have thought these huge gherkins were being bought back for ......:eek:

I had nightmare visions of controlled explosions of Wallys at O'Hare airport throughout their flight home lol

That's interesting -I've never heard of large gherkins called Wallys. Were they originally a brand of gherkin called Wally's ?



It's ok, I found this on t'internet! :-


why are gherkins called wallys
Wally British colloquial term for Gherkin, slang corruption of Olive. Both Gherkins & Olives sold in barrels which were referred to as wallies.

I think there are many reasons why you shouldn't place such a low value on yourself. From your photo you look great. Through your posts on here you come across to me as a person who is intelligent, articulate, interesting, kind and considerate of people (despite not being treated so nicely by others yourself). Your sense of humour is lovely. My advice is stop hiding yourself away, and start to believe that you do have so much to offer.

Oh sweetpea, that lack of confidence is holding you back, you don't have to let it you know! I know a lot of your countryfolk are brash and larger than life, that probably leaves you feeling meeker than you really are! I can't open your photo, but from comments above it doesn't sound like you're any kind of munter. Your posts are charming and self-effacing (which is more attractive than 'look at me look at me it's all about me' posts), you sound intelligent, your posts are articulate, certainly nothing to to suggest you don't belong in the gene pool!

In short, take a risk and fake just a little more confidence. Confidence really is a 'fake it 'til you make it' thing - and I should know ;-)

Oh, thanks for that - I didn't know how they got their name, just always called that.

I believe, in middle class homes, as in wot I now am lol, I should call them pickled cucumbers.........:rotfl:

We first discovered gherkins in France as cornichons. As we only ever saw them in France for years, that is the name that has stuck in the family.

I frequently forget the English name.

Pretentious, moi? :cool:
