Still bruised by the way
Yeah you'd be suprise how little success I've had with that technique... must change tact I think. 
You mean mentally bruised don't you 
I honestly cannot apologise enough >_<

Oh I dunno - I'm sure some girls would love it!
Oh no! Just physically - nice green bruise about half a foot long down my back. It's pretty impressive.

Quote: Sammy @ October 11 2009, 9:30 AM BSTI tend to fancy quite geeky/shy guys so usually have to make the first move or nothing happens.
Emoticon overload...
Anyway. Interweb dating. Yeah, because meeting someone and getting to know them first is so much more sordid than when drunk in a pub. :/

Er...yeah... 
I dunno if all this makes me assertive and modern or pushy and desperate!
Or married...
I'm so desperate my idea of a lonely hearts page is the obits and a shovel.

People only have to ask. What's the worse that can happen?

She says yes. Then later reveals she's a horrible person.

It makes you you, and not conforming to any of the weird stereotypes defined in American teen movies.

Thanks. Still it would have been nicer the other way around!

She REALLY wasn't my type at all, but some well-meaning meddling relatives had been pressuring me to go out with her. All was pretend fine for a week until out popped her cloven hoof and the abuse started.
Tip for single guys: Beware of women who constantly complain that their mother and sister are horrible, interfering, bossy bitching cows. It may run in the family.

I take it, it didn't last then.
My mum is dippy and my sister is mental. 
Quote: Dolly Dagger @ October 11 2009, 6:56 AM BSTWould you draw the line at women proposing?
Here's the funny thing, even though a woman rarely gets down on one knee and proposes, they do all of the ground work to ensure that it does happen. Very few women are properly shocked when they get proposed to.
They start dropping the less then subtle hints into almost every conversation, they will point out rings in jewellery shop windows, they will talk about the recent weddings of their best friends, everyone the girl knows will say 'When are two getting married?', bridal magazines will suddenly appear on the coffee table, then the dreaded 'Where is our relationship going?' conversations will appear much more frequently.
It's a bit like launching a ship - the women will build the dockyard, build the ship, buy the bottle of champagne and tie the string around it - your job is be Queen Elizabeth, all you do is show up and make it official.
See, that's where I went wrong, I got her some Corgis instead.
