I am jealous actually Morris


You sound like a good old fashioned romantic/slight weirdo


I wish you well


*cries into pillow*


"Why doesn't a weirdo want meeee..eee"


:-$:-S

Unless there's something seriously wrong with you it's hard to be creepy if you're under the age of 30-ish. If on the other hand you are 47 and she's 23 it's very different.


I had to remind myself that this week when I hired a 24 year old hot shot grad and we started talking about her about favourite bands. I stopped before getting too Ricky Gervais.


Mr Ben (36 years old and still down with the kids) *snaps fingers Ali G style*


Ahem.

So there is definitely nothing creepy about this situation as I'm under the 30 year threshold. The other good news is she was spotted at the weekend so things are looking up at the moment. I'm thinking this week might be the week something will happen, maybe.

A bit old-fashioned, I realise, but have you tried introducing yourself and saying welcome to the road? Apparently Bill Clinton takes a woman's hand when he's introduced to her and then keeps hold of it a bit too long. If she lets him, she's interested.


At least then you'll be able to greet her by name every time you see her.


Or arrange a party and do the courteous thing and warn all your close neighbours and say they're very welcome to join you. That way there's an opening if she's interested but you haven't committed yourself, AND all your neighbours think you've got nice manners and won't mind about the noise.

Oh yeah, I had one of those once. I wasted an awful lot of money in Selfridges lingerie department before he came out.


But where does the shag dodging come into it? Is Real Morris the shag dodger because he won't ask her out and prefers the thrill of the virtual chase? Or is New Neighbour the shag dodger because she hasn't jumped his bones yet?


I'm very confused.

It's confusing but I assume I'm the shag dodger. Good one Netts.


To be honest I don't think I qualify for this title as I haven't really been trying that hard yet, unless you consider posting on here as making a big effort? Probably you do.


I hope my neighbour isn't a shag dodger, this would complicate things.


I don't think groping or asking for a shag is going to work with this one, but thanks. Also, I don't want to tarnish my reputation around ED, which those actions could potentially damage.

Poor morris


Imagine when/if he does actually get-it-on


His mind will be a-whirr with images from this forum. Heads-in-jars-kittens-shagdodging-and-tit-gropes



The whole thing could become a self fulfilling prophecy by proxy & he'll run a mile.


A virtual Tarring and feathering


(mainly by *Bob* I have to say:-$)


Netts

Jeez Morris - just knock on the door and ask to buy her a drink.


You might not even like her. This peculiar 'courtly love' scenario you've created in your head is objectifying and dehumanising her. She's a real person, and probably has all manner of irritating habits and unpleasant hang ups.


She might be great - in which case I guarantee that she'll have little time for people who worship from afar and fret in their front room about the perfect first encounter.


Get a pair. Girls like that.

I would say do your research and play the long game. Have you ever met her at her step with a man at 8am? Best stop there if you have.


If not, you will bump in to her at your front door at some point - no need to engineer the situation. When you do strike up a chat about something in the house / foxes in the street at night / upcoming ED events - anything. See if there is any chemistry and read the signs. Does she look you in the eye often but then glance away when you catch her eye? Does she mirror your posture?


If all is looking good, ask her if she's been to the new pub which just opened (CPT?). Or ask her if she would like to check out an ED specific event - maybe the Barry Barry Run? This could be taken as either just a friendly neighbourly drink or... once you put alcohol into the situation the night will develop one way or another.


And if you pop a post up here to let us know where you will be we can all come down and watch the play by play!


I'm hoping she finds you as lovely and romantic as I thought you were.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
