Spoken a little to Pretty Lips via the media of pm on facebook, nothing interesting but I liked talking to him. He's off for over 2 weeks over the Christmas/New Year Weird news though, 2 guys with girlfriends said they were 'after' me on the night out (never shown an interest in either of them and never would in that situation, I literally have blinkers on as soon as I realise someone has a girlfriend and refuse to see them any other way) barf. The tl who was in work with us on Saturday who has a soft spot for me was flirting yesterday. He's good looking and a lovely person and all but he's just come out of an engagement 6 months back and I just find it all weird. Couple of years older and a romantic at heart so why doesn't he spark my interest. He was saying a few times I should go to the main office party we're holding at some hotel, but none of my out of hours guys are going, so I dunno. To be continued. Oh he's an Aries. Scratch that.

I hear you on the blinders, but it's also nice to be wanted a bit, isn't it? Even if they're off limits? That could just be my attention-seeking side, but... Anyway, keep your focus on pretty lips... I have a feeling about him... Mr. Sad at work and I continue to flirt a bit and giggle about stupid stuff so we're all good. Though there seems to be a bit more twinkle in his eyes and I haven't seen him nearly as sad as he usually is at work. There's a Bad Sweater Holiday Party tomorrow night for a charity that we both belong to (he encouraged me to join, and has encouraged me to attend the events... sigh...) and I might suggest we go shopping for our sweaters tonight. He's one of those guys that's really easy to hang out with, and I really enjoy his company. No drunk babbling anymore, though!

I think you've probably been instrumental in showing him that life goes on, this past weekend! That smile is probably down to you, I can just tell from what happened on Saturday and so on. Knowing someone you like (even when you're gutted about a breakup) likes you back and accepts that you're getting over it still and is there for you regardless, that's pretty much an icebreaker and changes your perspective greatly Yay bad jumpers, get a pic in that! I want lights and music if you can find one haha I totally get the attention thing, I hate being in a spotlight but it's definitely great to be fancied, just makes your day a little better But I've been a cheat and been cheated on and I'd never be a part of that again if I had the choice. I take affront that people know this about me and still think they have a chance in hell, like they think I'd lower my standards because they want to cop a feel and go home to their lady 1 guy just said I looked nice but the other 2, blech

Thanks for mentioning that, Cherry, I hadn't though of it that way. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy now! Just kind of figured he was upbeat because he had a fun weekend, that's all. But, yes, I'll happily take the credit! Any progress with Gym Boy? Was he there last night?

You should totally take credit you were probably the sunshine breaking through his clouds I had a similar feeling and we're good friends now me and this guy, but I still have the warm fuzzies for him because he was that one person who made me smile during the darker days and made me feel like I was fancied rotten. I am certain that's the same sort of thing that you've given Heartbroken, a ray of hope! Gym boy is awol and just breaking my heart with his absence. Pretty lips is tangling himself further into my brain and getting under my skin, plus a guy I had the 7 year old hots for has turned into a gorgeous man and just asked me out via facebook after reminding me that he'd punched me in the stomach and made me cry when we were kids, I was his 1-girl fanclub back in the day! I'll be honest I said I didn't know. It's too weird catching up with someone on the internet and having them ask you out. And I'm a huge chicken my 2 closest friends of the moment said say yes but at the moment my gut is saying 'erm'.

I second Helen! A quick drink or coffee wouldn't hurt, and you could make it clear that you're just meeting to catch up with an old childhood buddy. And, Cherry, what if you meet up and eventually meet some of his friends and find that he somehow knows Gym Boy... Do you really want to miss that opportunity!

I'll go for a very platonic meet-up but he is a bit smooth for my liking and has 2 kids so I'm going with my gut instinct and sticking with mooning over pretty lips.

Oooh, good luck!!! Let us know how it goes, k? At work, I'm lucky to sit by the copier on our floor, which means Mr. Heartbroken is forced to see me from time to time whether he likes it or not. This morning he went to the copier, turned around, and asked how my weekend was. And then he told me he thought about texting me Sunday night to ask me how my weekend was, but that he didn't. In boy code, I think that translates to 'I thought of you last night but was too chicken/sad to do anything about it, but now I wish I had so you knew I was thinking about you, so I'll just tell you about it so you know I'm thinking about you.' Hmmm... It's ok. I was thinking about him, too.

Too cute! I like Mr Heartbroken and am expectant of more charmingly shy asides!
I was asked out by a model/idiot that I went to uni with, he's got the same stupid sense of humour as me but we never clicked like that, just had a laugh cos he's a clown. Anyway I've been told by a mutual friend that he has a girlfriend, fail. It's ok he's hardly ever up here but a casual meet up would have suited me. We're all meeting for a little reunion soon, should be fun at least and I've missed those boys.

Been a good week for flirting!
1. Fab date with a hottie Monday. Drinks, laughter, all around good. Talk of a 2nd date, but I won't hold my breath. 2. Mr. Sad is being more upbeat, flirty, & complimentary... Hmmm... Some mild talk of hanging out while off work next week...
3. Superintendent from work is added to the mix. Have met him twice - once in a meeting, didn't think much of him, but saw him on a jobsite this summer in his hard hat & got a case of the humminas... We've emailed a bit about work stuff but today he ventured out a bit... Suggested I look him up if I needed a few drinks over vacation... I doubt we'd go out soon, but the seed has been planted...Nice to have options, but just wish 2 of them weren't with coworkers!

Interesting turn of events! So when I posted last, I was sitting at a restaurant having a drink and waiting for a friend to show up. Mr. Sad sends me a text to tell me he's going out to eat, wanted to know if I'd join him... I instead invite him out with my friend and I and... he came out! She left shortly after and we stayed for a while and chatted. Was a bit awkward outside of work, kind of weird when you see someone you see every day out of context, but when we left he made a point to give me a hug. I know it's just a hug, but he certainly doesn't do that at work... Interesting week has been made MORE interesting!
Oh, and at the bar/restaurant we were at, a guy that I met out last winter walks in and sat down not too far away. He looked at me like 'don't I know you?' but I don't know if he could place me... He was fun to flirt with last year!

I haven't had this much attention combined all year, so it's kind of fun! No worries, they'll start dropping like flies shortly...
