Ummm... I may have had a great evening. I'm not sure yet.

For fucks sakes man, if she's only unsure because she's getting over her last relationship, just make sure you don't get shuffled off into the 'male friend she confides in' role and you'll be okay. Make sure you're around her over the next month or so, but never quite as long as she'd like you to be, judge your moment carefully, get mutually drunk and bobs yer uncle. Conjugal bliss.

I reckon anyhow...

Sounds like you want to take it slow anyway, stoatie, so the friend thing isn't such a bad thing. Ach, you should enjoy this feeling, its a roller coaster ride.

"You’re not a character in a 20/30’s age group sit-com are you? Does this shit actually happen in North London??" (xxxxxxxxxx)
Haven't you seen Spaced? Didn't you know that it's actually a reality TV show filmed with hidden cameras? About people who think they are living in a 70s childrens show?
Stoatie, are you secretly Tim Bisley?
BTW Byron is right, bob will be your uncle with any luck. Go Stoat!

Funnily enough, an ex-girlfriend once accused me of being Tim Bisley. The fact that I was working in a comic shop at the time didn't help...

So has you been by the pub yet?

Depending on yer freakiness level, you might attempt to wow her with pictures of your colon. If you have them.

I would.

Not yet... I'm not allowed to drink for the rest of the day, and if there's anything truly upsetting, it's being in a pub with no booze.

I get paid tomorrow. I may go there for lunch.

I second that. Pirates are meant to get pissed and shagged, and I can't believe I'm advising you thus when I'm practically celibate.

Hope the op went okay buddy.

...just make sure you don't get shuffled off into the 'male friend she confides in' role and you'll be okay.

I've always wondered: how do you avoid that?

If this evening's anything to go by, I have no answer.

Oooh, the dreaded role of the trusted male. I fake it... but it chafes.

When I'm in a spiritual kind of mood, I think it's nice to be a confidant and the whole sex and gender things just don't matter.

But for the other 99% of the time, ho ho. Oh, it's okay I suppose, but yes it does, as you say, chafe. Perfect verb for it, if I may make so bold as to compliment you.

If you don't want to be the confidante, do something slightly outrageous and challenging. Stretch boundaries. Take *risks*. Best friends are best friends because they're safe - you need to be not quite so safe. Not dangerous, but exciting.

Tell all your mates everything she confides in you. make sure you have at least one friend in common.

I like grant's advice, but I've got to say that danger should play a significant part in your courtship. maybe take her out, perform a few daring robberies, kill and/or kidnap a couple of cops then go out for a drive in your brand new 1934 Ford V-8 Sedan.

If that doesn't bring the two of you closer together, I don't know what will.

Come to think of it, I have always found the idea of a countrywide killing spree unbearably romantic.

It worked for Charlie Starkweather.



I was thinking more along the lines of a rebel pose, or a bit willing to, well, not argue, but bicker. To challenge assumptions. To not always be agreeable.
