He's a bit of a mummy's boy and he's very protective. Bit of a jerk, doesn't know what he's thinking. But he's very sweet and his intentions are good.

[saratink]

Relax I was just taking the piss...

[bunique]

I actually get stage fright too.

Like, i find it really hard to 'squat' probably because i'm worried pissing on my feet/leggings!

[saratink]

Do you find yourself in this position often?

[Cardboard Box City]

I have been in this position a few times, yes.

[Cardboard Box City]

My frisky housemate has been basically treating me like his girlfriend the past few days. Lots of falling asleep cosied up on the sofa and lots of handholding and he seems particularly cautious of any boys who hug me a bit too intimately and kiss my cheek for a bit too long. But he spent all of last night, while we were out, talking about his ex and how she doesn't deserve to be treated how her new boyfriend treats her and if it weren't for some prick guy, he'd still be with her and blahblahblah. He's obviously still not over her.

[lolbeck]

Well I say shag him (or again?).

It'll blatantly go nowhere (quote with wedding pics) but at least its a consolation prize when he gets upset looking back.

[rachbon]

The only reason we're not sleeping together is because he said "it meant something" to him when we did it before, and the more we do it, the more he'll want a relationship, but he doesn't want a relationship right now.

But I don't understand why he's turning down sex if he's going out of his way to snuggle up on the sofa with me and put his arm round me when we go out and stuff

[lolbeck]

he sounds weird, like he's just making things complicated when they don't need to be.

[Pogues Mcgogues]

He is. I think it's partly that he's still not quite over his ex, and partly that he doesn't want the possibility of messing up our friendship if we've got to live together for another two years.

[lolbeck]

I reckon both those and a commitment issue thing too. First year of uni folk sometimes don't want to be tied down kinda thing (I messed up something when I was in 1st year of uni whilst thinking like that)

I'd stop doing the flirty cuddling up n stuff if your serious about not wanting to be confused of the whole thing. If he brings it up just say you don't want to be led on kinda thing, or you need to know where things stand, but say it in a not so serious kinda way, do it light hearted but truthful.

You'll know after that where things stand and not be confused about it all and it means you can go back to being good friends/going out kinda thing.

[Pogues Mcgogues]

We're in our second year, so...

And I'm only confused because I'm thinking into it all a bit too much. I pretty much know where I stand, but honestly, it's been far too long since anyone showed me any kind of affection, and it's quite nice to have someone who wants to cuddle up with me and lets me stroke his hair. He likes my company and I like his.

[rachbon]

If you like someone you find ways around the situations. Keep at it then!

[Pogues Mcgogues]

i think i work in the same place as you!

[rachbon]

Right down the bottom of St Vincent Street?

[Pogues Mcgogues]

aye! you still in training? i started today, i'm with an outsourcing company though and will just be working part time.

[rachbon]

Yeah still in training, got another two weeks then six weeks of training actualy doing the job kinda thing. Well loads! Did you spot me?

Is that a new job then you've got? Is it during the day hours?

[Pogues Mcgogues]

nah i never seen you, just remember you saying you were starting in there. aye it's a new project, basically a new job but i'm with the same company i've been with for the past few years. what hours you on this week? i need to start at half 7 all week!

Second date with Zooey tomorrow night. I suggested a couple of things we could do - go out for dinner somewhere, or get a take away and beer and watch Flight Of The Conchords and have loads of sex. She went for the latter option. I love her!

[RABun]

I did it. We have split up. I went to see a room tonight to move in to. The guy seemed nice. The flat was lovely. It's close to work.

New adventure

[bunique]

Good for you Rabun - good luck with the move and the fresh start

And woo! Go brighteyes - doink her good

[spwan-of-the-devil]

Spread the love everyone

[RABun]

I just got offered a room to let in Stoke Newington - yay! A really nice bloke i'll be sharing with too.
