Ooh, I love the wall art pieces! I have a large room, too. Just think - all the more room to get busy in once it's all re-done! Sounds like a fab plan, Cherry! And, yes, I've offered Mr. Busy to crash at my place some time. He actually works quite close to my house and lives on the opposite side of town so it'd be quite convenient... But we're reaching that point now where if we don't see each other soon, I'll lose interest. We'll see if he pulls through this weekend or not.

Haha I had better get some rugs then, this carpet is not conducive to romancing! Don't give him a choice is what I'd say. You tell him that you're getting bored and you'd like him to come admire your beautiful forest coloured decor and cat walking in at awkward moments. My cat did that. Ruined it. My sister is not a love bug at all and the irony is that she will probably fall madly in love and get married so quickly because she isn't jaded yet. But she happened to mention that the guy at the gym seemed disappointed when he looked over and I wasn't looking at him. I will take that to mean he is definitely interested seeing as she is oblivious to this kind of thing, normally. I love that she took a week to mention the atmosphere and how comedic she found it all, including me blushing like a silly billy.

Oooh, gym boy sounds interested!!! You know, I've often thought it would be much easier if there was some sort of sign you could wear at the gym to show you were available and interested, but not too obvious so the creeps can't take advantage. Would make it so much easier!

So, we need to come up with a plan. How can we find an excuse for you to talk to him? Given that you won't be brazen enough to walk up to him and say 'bowchicawhowow'

Or smack him on the bum. Karen my hairdresser loved that idea btw! I just got a big smacker on the lips and a rather shy prodding about whether I have a boyfriend etc. I quickly got off home but can't deny, a nice little peck from the prettiest lips I ever saw, warmed my heart a little bit! Hairdresser suggested I wear a t shirt that says 'approachable (not you though)' hahaha

The 'not you though' would have to be something that can be covered/unleashed as and when required.

Ha ha, Cherry, I think I like your hairdresser! Do you have a sassy new hairstyle to flaunt to gym guy now?

Oh he's great, a guy hairdresser who loves a pretty brunette, his wife works there too and she's lovely, keeps him from going crazy on the compliments haha. He's a walking ego-boost I just got my hair trimmed it's quite layered now, not like my profile pic, so it's easier to dry and when I curl it it falls quite nicely. Full fringe (bangs) but I got him to cut it long so I could part it to the side. Had a little flirt at work with pretty lips again today, went on our lunch together and bonded a bit over our dysfunctional families. He's shy so it's nice to get to know him. And he thought I was only 23 which is a big 5 points up for him haha! He's kinda avoiding my sending him home by saying he doesn't remember anything... Karen did Mr Busy get the hint? I'm mentally shouting that he needs to get with the program!

Nope, didn't get the hint... About ready to write him off as a do-not-bother...
Off to a work holiday party tonight. LOTS of men there to flirt with, though I'm sure many will be there with dates... Sigh.
Now, Cherry, do tell a bit more about pretty lips?...

I say tuck him into the back of your mind and the minute you truly give up, sod's law is he'll be back on your case! How did the work party go? Pretty lips is a bit younger than me (unfortunately we're at an age where it matters but I kept ending up with a thing with slightly younger guys atm) I had a huge crush on his friend (we're just good mates) who then got him the job in our place, and the guy who wanted me to help him buy presents for his mother and sister, my friend, he's kinda backed off now. They're all friends together, plus another guy who flirts but has a girlfriend. The guy who wanted me to go shopping, actually called me the total package last weekend in work it just slipped out and we both nearly died. We have kinda not spoken much since then it's too embarrassing. I mean good God that's a helluva compliment, but one I'd only want to hear off a girlfriend trying to boost my confidence, or a boyfriend! It turned out my pal at work wasn't encouraging him. She must just smirk a lot... Anyway pretty lips has been on my mind a little. He held my hand at some points in the night (maybe to stop me falling on my arse in the icy streets) defended my family honour (mistakenly, he took a joke wrong), took me home etc oh and he kept kissing me on the cheek at one point too. Too cute. I heard a little about his family and given that he's usually quiet and shy, despite being gorgeous, it was nice to talk to him properly but I could feel myself going red every time he stopped to look at me. Lust is great!

Ooh, Cherry, he sounds lovely!
Had an interesting night at the holiday party. Well, the party itself was kind of lame, but a bunch of us went out after and that's when things got interesting... Mr. Sad was there, but he was in a good mood. We hung out most of the night, flirted a bit as always. He gave me a ride home and we ended up talking in my parking lot for ages. The conversation was all over the place and ranged from how heartbroken he is, how much he's still in love with his ex, to how attracted to each other we are, etc. He went so far as to say some of the things he'd like to do to me, quite funny!! Anyway, he's heartbroken, I don't want to get involved with someone I work with, so things won't happen, but it was nice to know that someone's interested, right?
He called the next morning, completely woke me up, and offered me a ride to my car. I had total bed-head and was feeling quite rough so it was a quiet car ride! All in all, it was a great night. I know I'll go to work today and things will be totally cool. We'll be flirts at work and I know we'll hang out with each other outside of work, but things won't happen with him. I'm totally cool with that, he's such an awesome genuine guy that just friends is fine with me!

I like this, Chritsmas party season hasn't been the fright for us that I thought it'd be I had a discussion last night with a guy who professes to fancy me rotten, and he knows I don't like guys with girlfriends who goggle but he said he was just saying so, and there was nothing wrong with it and that he'd never cheated on his girlfriend. So I guess that made it better but I'm not comfortable with it still. We were normal today at work and he knows I like Pretty Lips, he told me to go for it or nothing would happen cos Pretty Lips is too shy. So am I though! Karen I have to say, you'd be surprised how sexy you can look when you're hungover and feeling rough! I expect that somewhere down the road when broken heart has sorted himself out, you may be asked on a date by a guy who has been thinking about you for a long time

You know, Cherry, I kind of suspect the same thing, but a long time down the road. I suspect he'll be the kind of guy that I hang out with, both as a group and one on one, and then all of a sudden one day things will just kind of fall into place. But for now, I'm completely content to be just friends. I was in his shoes 2+ years ago but it's still quite fresh in my mind. We had a good chit-chat today about the rest of our weekends, etc. and I know we're all good. So what's your plan of attack with Pretty Lips? And don't say nothing!!

Let me just butt in here and say.... JUST JUMP HIM CHERRY! YOU'LL NOT REGRET IT! heh heh. sorry for shouting, but, puh-leeeeze just grab him and smooch him and smile at him. this will make him VERY happy. then after that, just say, well one of us had to get that over with, so I thought I'd save some time and just do it myself. lol. if anyone should do that it's our Cherry! I'm sure he's dreaming and dreaming of you all the time anyways....

I am starting to think I should just jump him too. There's this sweetness about him that I find really appealing, he's rough and ready like the other guys but he hangs back a little and isn't as big-headed as you'd assume from him. Really interested to find out what makes him tick. I think I already like him a lot but I'm not sure what happens next. I don't want a big relationship but I look at him and I just want to smooch him and look after him... I could just bust, on Saturday I looked at him and just wanted another kiss but I went red with embarrassment and looked away. Haha pretty you made me laugh aloud then, that's my style, shouting! I hope gym boy is there tomorrow, Tuesday is the day I see him most. He's my Ryan Gosling lookalike and I have to see (be greedy) if I get a smile out of him God they're like buses you wait for someone to flutter your eyelashes at and 2 come along at once.
