will that do? It's bikes I have in the living room (still being decorated after laying my own wooden floor...)
Rachel
that is so provocative!
you have your own pole 😉
😆
oh poo - never thought of that!! 😳
try again? 😀
And here was I trying to show I wasn't a girly girl and all you notice is the bloomin' pole!!
Rachel
To drag this kicking and screaming back on topic, I'm single, not through choice initially but I'm beginning to enjoy it now.
The reason I'm single is something to do with reverse psychology, in a dating situation when I get asked what I do/like, I tend to say 'I'm a process engineer, it's dull but it pays the bills, I like riding bikes, being outside, taking stuff apart and making it work betterer, reading books, watching movies, playing squash, visiting new places and generally having a good time, in all I'm fairly dull how about you?'
At this point the lady in question seems to think that I'm a gloriously interesting person, and a relationship follows, up until the point where they realise that I wasn't lying...
Rachel, your posts show there is much more to you than a 'girly girl' that's why it took me so long to realise you were a woman!
better?

better than being accused of lying!! (believe me - that hurts)
Rachel
Rachel - you just had to get your knees in the shot didn't you? you flirt! lol

Yes, I know how that feels, you are upfront an honest with someone but they are so cynical ans suspicious they find fault where there are none. It's like two people walking though the countryside, one sees the flowers and the trees and says 'life is beautiful' the other keeps turning over rocks and then complains that 'It's full of creepy crawlies' some people have half empty souls to match their half empty glasses!
That was a bit too deep for me wasn't it - lets go back to asking for photos 😉
Actually, Supertramp, I think they're my dad's knees...

I'd be complaining there's too many cahs and not enough cashpoints....

I'm so glad I didn't admit to anything else 😳
Yeah - he's 65!!! lol

I know that feeling, my ex would often ask 'Can I do/spend X on Y?'
To which I'd say, 'Yeah, we can afford it, sure thing'
To which she'd say 'You don't want me to, you're stopping me from doing things'
Ho hum...
nothing wrong with being 65, i remember when i was ... no i don't the dementia had set in by then, doh.
I feel like a voyeur on here but without seeing any exciting outcome to all the subliminal flirting.
subliminal? is it that obvious?
where did everyone go?
LOL @ the wind up pic 😀
I've never seen bikes pole dancing before - genius!
Well, I don't actually have many photos of me taken recently - I'd probably get accused of false advertising if I posted one of me in my twenties!!
Rachel
Nice nicolai 😆
I know. Her name is Ulrika.
Rachel
edit - (she says - suddenly checking that the images no longer have any location information in them...)

you're still in your twenties surely?
Single, definatly not out of choice. I go through stages of being happy with my situation and being nigh on depressed about it. very much a up and down thing.
Single. I caught so much flak last time around for the amount of time and money I spend on cycling, and looking after my dog, and going to work (?).
I kind of maybe possibly would like someone to do stuff with, but they would have to like bikes and dogs and the countryside and not be insecure or jealous/possessive and have their own thing going on too so they would not be clingy, oh, and not smoke, and not be on the dole, and be single. See? The shopping list starts out short, and rapidly grows! lol
In the meantime I am having a totally brilliant time being single.
Karinofnine - you are right about the shopping list! Though maybe we all just think about the details far too much, when we should be just be taking the plunge. Nothing ventured nothing gained and all that 😉
Supertramp - I've done the starry-eyed-love-conquers-all stuff - fingers crossed, hoping the incompatibilities will not matter, and ignoring the warning signs.
Crashed and burned.
I'm more discerning now, I know what I want and I'm in the happy position of not being desperate. Something will turn up, it always does, best just let what will be, be.
Karinofnine - good point, I think emma82 is an example too us all, maybe if you don't 'pair' at the right time in your life you never really will? or am I being cynical?
No matter how you view it, it has been a very interesting and lively thread - thanks for all your contributions.
Elfin - I loves ya anyway (5 mins at a time mind) 🙂
Sue- don't let this lot get to ya. Honesty is far to great a trait to be displayed on here!
Solo - You are a knob.
Been thinking about the 'shopping list' theory it has made me smile. I counted roughly 10 items in the example above. Now assume the prospective mate works on the same theory 'no cats, must like motorbikes, must like roast beef on Sundays, must . . . etc.
So 10 on one list and 10 on the other, what are the stats on that ever working? there are only six balls in the lottery, aren't there? 😆
you have to laugh, while sorting through your coin and frog collection alone 😥
maybe we are all doomed!
