    Fatletiss, what do you do weekday mornings around 9:25. There could be an opening for you if a certain Mr Kyle leaves. Can you say out loud,I will be right back with those all important DNA results.

    Well, I don't feel as I can talk to my family about this kind of stuff, but have a friend who has recently taken an interest in giving me advice, so it's nice that someone IRL has taken an interest as I've never had that before.

    And I know I don't have one season to mate.... but because I have never met anyone with whom I have so much in common and get on so well with, I feel this is a one off opportunity. Anyway, must be positive. She was clearly interested and she had a nice evening, and considering how well we get on and have so much in common, it would seem silly for that to be ruined over one stupid decision....

    Just one last question, should I apologise for making her uncomfortable today or stay off the radar a bit and leave it till say Tuesday or Wednesday?

    We weren't there, so can't judge how deplorably you behaved :), but I wouldn't make too much of it. Definitely ask her out again soon...if she agrees it will show that she isn't making so much of it. My guess (as you like her so much) is that she is similar to you in many ways, so I am not that surprised she shied away...gently, gently.

    Just got back in...having been soaked, not by the rain, but by morons going through massive puddles near pedestrians. I had to leap up a muddy bank several times, but finally had to walk through a tunnel where I had already seen pedestrians swamped over the tops of their heads. I escaped the worst by waiting and then running for it. Please show consideration out there, folks, especially if you drive a 4x4 (because they are the worst).

    People with 4x4 or big cars don't give a crap about other car drivers let alone pedestrians.

    That's an excellent play TSS, thanks for finding it. It goes into the mathematics a lot more than the film does, and generally compliments the story in the film. Interesting references to Fibonnaci sequences as well. The paradox is that Turing's personal life may well have been a lot happier if he had been born later, but unfortunately the Nazis may well have won the war if he hadn't lived when he did, so the enlightened times we currently enjoy may well not have come about. He really was that important, not only in breaking the Enigma code and shortening the war, but also of course in the development of computers, which have transformed life totally.

    He actually got as far as being engaged, but luckily admitted to her that he was a homosexual. A lot of people were made miserable by trying to fit in or perhaps by being in denial.

    Oh, let him ask for advice, FLT. I think it's quite nice that PL trusts us to give him decent advice, and generally it has all been in the same direction. His asking shows a level of trust that is absent in a lot of situations. And, let's face it, we haven't abused that trust and we've been very light in our mickey taking, as far as I can see. On PL's side, he takes everything in good part, which is nice. If you want something to ponder, you might consider why we, on a Saints forum, get asked for advice, and the Pompey forum gets none of it.

    ^Because you don't know about our Pompey secret board and what goes on. It's a bit like the OTO but with less virgins.

    PL, she didn't have garlic bread when you took her out, did she?

    then a snog would definitely not be on the cards unless you both have garlic breath :laugh:

    Mmmm, that sounds pleasant. Nope, we both had Camembert for starters, and she had something with mushrooms in for main. Tbf, I did tell her I disliked mushrooms so maybe that was it lol

    just try getting her plastered and kissing her. her reactions will be slower and inhibitions lowered. get a peck or a snog and say, i'll text you later. what's the worst that could happen? it's just a kiss ffs, if she likes you then there shouldn't be a problem. well that's what I think anyway :p

    If she friend zoned you because of that she probably didn't like you in that way or she is like you and over thinks everything. But I would go with the first bit I said.
