new username as don't want my ex reading this post,
but i am a regular poster on here so thought i would ask you guys:o
there is this guy who attends the same woodwork class as myself. i'm 37 he's 32. we get on well and have a laugh together in class.
last week, he came up to me all nervous and said, "can i tell you something"
i replied yes, and he said he thought i was nice.

i replied thanks. was too shy to say anything else. i really am attracted to him, but dont want to say anything to scare him off.

i gave him a lift home after class, and he gave me a hug, and kissed me, on the neck.

i do know that he hasn't got a girlfriend at the mo.

am i reading too much into this ?

It does not look like you are reading to much in it to me.He has told you he likes you,gave you a hug after the lift home so it is obvious he does like you.There is a possibility that he may only like you as a friend though.I would wait and see,his next step may be to ask you out or if you are feeling brave maybe you could ask him for a drink after the next class?

Hi COCO-POPS,
Ah! The dating game....
You want this guy to ask you out?.....

OK, there are 2 things you need to know here :-

1. All men are terrified of rejection by a woman, so you will need to give him a little, erm, encouragement to help him get over his fear. Subtle, though - e.g holding eye contact for the count of 3, then looking away.

2. Men love the chase. They are the hunter, and are programmed to pursue a woman. Do not, under any circumstances ask him out, or phone or text or email first. Allow nature to take its course.

May I also suggest:
www.DatingWithoutDrama.com and
www.catchhimandkeephim.com
both free email courses - you will become a man magnet...it works!

Take care
Auntie CB2X

Congratulations on your recent happy news Meyore!!! I am soooo happy for you!!!

Ilovegreatdanes - The laser eye op is not for everyone mind. I know of two people who have had it done and had problems after. It has put me off having it done now so I have decided to try contacts instead. They are a bit fiddly but I'm getting there

My Fiance and I make a great team though as I am shortsighted and he is longsighted, so if we both forget our glasses....between us we actually have perfect eyeseight!! lol I can read the menus for him if we have a meal for example and he can tell me whats happening around me!! lol

I am the same with clothes. I go out and buy lovely clothes then when I get home and try them they either dont quite fit, or I make them look disgusting, then they sit in my wardrobe forever. Occassionally they leave while I consider Ebay/charity. Then they go back in...
I am really trying now though - I have sold a few bits of clothing over the last couple of weeks. Just doing one or two auctions here and there.
It will be worth it when I can finally pay off my credit card!! :rolleyes:


Steph loads of mine are still tagged too!!! It's such a waste really.
I bet you feel a ton better for having sorted through it all though. I know whenever I manage to sort anything out like that I have to keep going back and looking at how nice and clean and neat it is over and over as I feel so proud of myself!!! :rotfl: I know...I'm just soooo sad!!! :rotfl:
I would love my life to be more clutter free but I really struggle to let things go... :mad:

CCstar, you sound just like me. Everything can be going wonderful and then I suddenly have huge strops over something tiny. I really wish I could control my emotions a lot more than I can know. At least I don't just sit and cry all day every day now though, so at least I have made an improvement somewhere. :rotfl:

Have you seen how much some customised clothes sell for on Ebay?? You should def look into that

Tulip - Atonement is really really good!! I really enjoyed that, though I must admit I didn't think I would. There is still something I don't understand from the film though, but I won't say as I don't want to spoil any of it fo you (have your tissues ready if you are anything like me though!!!)

CocoPops - I think you have an admirer.... :p:p
It sounds like you both really like each other But if it is meant to be it will happen one day

Also.....thanks everyone for the birthday wishes....
I feel such a fraud.....
It wasn't my birthday.... :o

I don't know why that date was set up in my profile as my birthday but didn't know until QWB PMd me!! I have changed it now and I am sorry for that. Don't know how I have never noticed that before!!

AND I will only be 27 when my real birthday comes round!! 30 indeeed!! :eek::eek::eek:

I did have a good day though!
It is my Fiance's birthday tomorrow and we don't have much money so he said he wasn't bothered about doing anything. He went to the pub with his parents but I had planned a surprise birthday party for him and got his friends and family around. It was a mexican party! I had sombreros and maracas hanging everywhere, the buffet was mexican themed - chilli, mexican rice, nachos, chorizo etc.
I got a pinata, pin the tail on the donkey and we played guitar hero.
I bought him mexican lager and served it with limes and made tequila sunrise in a big bowl for people and people did slammers.

He was so chuffed when everyone left he kept cuddling me and telling me how lovely I was for doing something so nice. And I am still in a good mood for it today!!

Took me ages to plan everything and keep everything hidden!! LOL


With regards to my current situation I have been feeling more positive about things, and I really really want to sort myself out now as I want to be able to get on with wedding plans etc and basically get on with enjoying what is left of my life!
I get my return to work date on Monday. Scary stuff!! My doctor has had me following a routine though, and suggested I speak to work about this as I work shifts to see if they can do something about the shifts to try and keep my routine running so they are giving me a 9-5 shift! :j This will be great as I will be so much less stressed knowing I have to be there at the same time every day - it will be easier for me. And it means I can go to bed as early as I want when I'm feeling run down etc seeing as I seem to survive on only a few hours worth of disturbed sleep.
I can fit my much needed exercise in etc. I hope it all works out for me.

Anyway Hi to everyone I have not yet spoken to - this new thread is already so long I have forgotten most of what I have read already!!! :eek:
(In my defense I suffer from short term memory loss!!!)

And a lovely warm welcome to any new members I may have overlooked!!

BTW someone was telling me about the 12 step programme before, but I can't remember who...can someone tell me more about this please??

Tulip
