asking someone out - question

You could have people posting stuff like "Loose Wheel looking for Stabiliser to keep me on the straight and narrow. Low mileage, GSOH...."

"Seat tube looking for well lubed post for long exciting rides. Must be above average length".

I knew what you meant really. I was just nitpicking .

That's alright, so was he. They call it multiple wives, we call it bigamy.

Nooooo, jefmcg, this works only if based purely or mostly on sex, imo.​

You say that like it's a bad thing.

Dangerous liasons? Fatal attraction?
One of the two will end up hurt.

Dunno if anybody has already mentioned this but... the paradoxical thing about getting older and getting married is that you lose all the hangups about "dating", which make it so nerve-racking. Nowadays I have no fear of waltzing up to anybody and just chatting and if I wanted to ask them out I wouldn't need to agonise about it; I would simply ask them if they'd like to come out for a drink or dinner or come round for their tea, or whatever.

This makes me smile: I wonder what one's life would be like if you actually based relationship decisions on Adrian Lyne's and Stephen Frear's films?

(I'm pretty sure I've never slept with anyone who looks like my mother since I saw The Grifters, for instance: so that's advice I've taken to heart)

Agreed, but that could be because all pressure is removed.

You can get pills for that, these days. Tiagra pills...

I haven't seen her yet to ask her, I'm seeing her tomorrow so will ask then if appropriate.

 

[Cletus Van Damme]

Just ask her out for a drink/meal or whatever and bring some chloroform.

OMG - how long does it take!
You will be 104 before the 2nd date!

Not for all of us. I'd say if the dating thing is well and truly over for me, but for the fact it never started.
