Calling Mike, JonR, Mick and Seagull

Hi Don,

Weekdays are not good for me right now, especially given the distance I'd need to cover....could you manage a Saturday or Sunday after Easter by any chance? No worries if not.

Thanks anyway.

How about we aim for Saturday 28th April instead?

Don

I am away in Spain last week of March.

Any Saturday in April from the 2nd one should be fine.

Thanks for the invite

Mick

28th April is good for me.

Cheers.

I'll give it a day or so to give Mike and Seagul chance to see this post.

Cheers

Don

Mike, Seagul

Are any of the suggested dates (Saturdays in April) any good?

Cheers

Don

Dear lads

Wow! This has all become terribly complicated, hasn't it? But it needn't be. Firstly, your female friend. How about telling her how annoyed you are that she's broadcast something you wanted kept private? Asking her if from now on she'll check with you whether to talk about your feelings to other people? And you can decide that in future you'll make it clear whether or not you're telling her something you want kept confidential.

She's a person, and she was a friend. She's not more important than you. She did like you, but as you've been giving "keep off" signs for some time she may be hurt. The only way to find out is to stop going round in circular thoughts and actually speak to her. It doesn't have to be big stuff. Declarations of love when you're not even dating are a big no-no. Just talk to her about lessons, teachers, homework, how she's been, how you've been, light stuff. If she starts responding in a friendly way, then great! It means she's got the maturity not to get hung up in gossip and imagination. You could then ask her if she'd like to go to the cinema with you, or for a coffee, a walk, a study-date, whatever. Either she'll say yes or no. Whichever, you'll still be the same person with the same good qualities and skills. Maybe you and she will start dating, and maybe not. Maybe you'll go out with each other for a bit and then stop, which is usual with teen romances. Then there'll be others after that. You're only half of any relationship, and you only have half the power to say where it goes.

So, lads, over to you. Are you going to stay stuck in this logic-loop? Or are you going to start breaking the ice? I wish you courage.

Mmmm...logic loops - sounds delicious. I'm hungry - where can I buy some? Can you help me with this urgent request, please, Auntie Rasher?
