That's sweet, thank you! I guess you're right, at least if I say something then if I get hit by a bus and die I won't float around in limbo thinking "if only"....

Have a fabby party, Lils and keep us posted on the boy action too. You've had loads of great advice and a choose-your-own-adventure style flowchart thrown in for good measure so I can't really add much except to say good luck and may the force of the bag be with you on your quest, mon brave

Is it today Lily? Have a fantastic time! As for blokey - he wants to be at your party, he's coming to see you - I don't think the signals could be any clearer (and they're good ones!) If not me, then who; |

Hi Lily I'm a bit of a lurker which is probably quite rude, but I don't really spend enough time on the bag to get involved in what can be quite in depth discussions, and I don't really want to just throw my tuppence in and then vanish (although you might want me to!) However, I've read some of your posts about this guy and the overwhelming feeling I get is that you keep expecting him to let you down and most of the time he doesn't. But you don't seem to notice this, you just talk about the times he has let you down. If you were to make an honest list about the times you've discounted him but he's come through it might surprise you. From what I can work out from the bits I have read he's worked quite hard to stay on side, hasn't crowded you, has been delighted to sleep with you but isn't making assumptions about it happening again, he sounds fairly amazing to be honest. However, amazing or too good to be true, if it carries on this way at some point he's going to have to make the decision that enough's enough because you won't or can't trust him and that's no way for anyone to have a relationship, especially one that's going to be had at a distance. And when you get to 80 will you be thinking, thank god I didn't get involved with him, it would have been a huge waste of time, or will you be wishing you'd given it a go, even if it just proved to be shortlived fun? Most of us only get completely lucky once in our lives (if that) when it comes to meeting the man of our dreams, it doesn't mean all the other relationships are a waste of time. Anyway, that's definitely enough of my waffling. Whatever happens, have an amazing birthday! SB |

Thanks for your post! It has made me look at it from quite a different angle. I'm just expecting him to turn out to be a knob, so I'm preparing myself for it... an objective POV (by that I mean someone who has been 'just' reading) is a really interesting one. I've probably painted him in an awful light anyway, because that's how I am viewing him to protect myself. So to read that he's actually making quite an effort and he comes across as a very good guy is - well, kinda nice! I wish we had the thanks button, i'd have pressed that several times for your post.

Just to update you .... I hadn't heard from him, and rang leaving a breezy voicemail yesterday morning asking what his plans were. When it got to about 2230 last night and still no word, I started feeling really ill and upset by it and I knew I'd be upset until I spoke to him. (I was also upset by friends being crap so it just all culminated!) I texted him saying I knew it was late but if he wasn't asleep please could he call me. He called me straightaway  and apologised for not getting back to me but he'd been driving up to Aberdeen and back from Manchester! He's definitely coming down, just deciding whether to drive or train it and he'll see if he can come up tonight. I was very brave and told him I was really looking forward to seeing him.  Talking to him always makes me feel better! Now I've just got to pray that my spots go, or else I will have to pre-warn him, which is RIDICULOUS to still have to do at my age. |

Hey Lils, I never get spots, but a huge one errupted right next to my mouth about two days before my birthday. I don't get what that's all about – and I was 40 this year. I'm glad you two spoke and I hope you have a fab birhday. I think you will x |
