Much more careful thought is needed before using it.
I love you Alfie
Get a hold of yourself, you've got a mustache.
April 3rd. I will meet the lady. Excited.
Well today I celebrated the 20th anniversary of my first date with Mr Dagger. Of course this probably makes me anything but an expert on relationships, but all I'll say is that if you fancy someone don't f**k about, just ask them out. 
Congrats. I've just decided that is what I'm going to do with this bird who smiles at me whenever I see her. I'll be walking through her door next week (she's a receptionist) so I think I'll have to ask her out or give her my number at least. I always think 'What if she's taken,' but I think that's too negative, after getting to know my neighbour - if she wants a man she goes right up and tells him, whether he's married, engaged or whatever, and she usually gets it.

Yeah, just go for it. I think people miss out because of the fear of rejection. If they say no, then so what? I've asked men out and no one's ever said no.
Do people not go to the local discotheque and do the bogle bogle to meet a partner? I thought this was the way the majority of relationships started these days.
Perhaps it's to do with the whole stiff upper lip thing, but Brits don't seem to date the way other nationalities do. We're so uptight about asking someone out, but Americans always seem to have a couple of 'dates' on the go, flitting from one to the next.
I base this solely on my own personal experience, of watching 'Sex and the City'.

Good luck!

That's kind of a bitchy thing to do.
That's what my neighbour's like, she has four regular fancy men, all of them spoken for, and then she has new dates round inbetween. It is a very carefree approach that once I would have been disgusted by, but she's a very nice gal who is just totally honest about what she wants and she's giving men what they want, whether they should be wanting it or not. I now think that what your other half doesn't know won't hurt them, I think my old attitude was a bit uptight, it's crazy, we are all animals with animal needs. I wonder if she's in.
Hmm. Still sounds bitchy to me.
Of course the men who are cheating on their wives are also arseholes. I don't really see how it can be a good thing to spread around unpleasantness and lies (and God knows what else.) 
Seems like a bit of a selfish way of living. (just in my opinion, no offence and all that shiz.)

Is that a euphemism?
Well it's opened my eyes a bit, that's all, I've been a mug for being too loyal in the past, where did it get me? She's having fun instead of regretting not having any, and in a way, it's not her problem if they are attached and come and see her, it's their problem. But a lot of men have a bit on the side and still love their wives/girlfriends. I do think in England we are a bit uptight about this sort of thing, because really it keeps everyone happy and makes the world go round.
