    Should you tell a girl to text you when she gets home after a date?

    IME, this is a pretty normal thing to do when out, although its usually the lady asking me to let them know I'm home safe. However, general drunken violence & harrassment of women is a real & common problem in this part of the world & my city is about the worst in the country for it. Even...

    how to get my ex gf back

    Thanks - Yes it seems to be going great FTM. She has a lot less power over me now, even compared to a month ago. Ignoring her hardly bothered me at all. :) The challenge and her responses to my changes in behaviour are the most interesting things to me FTM. :)

    how to get my ex gf back

    Yes. You have been spot-on with everything so far. Uncanny, thanks. :) Maybe low but she does know I get on really well with the boy and he has come on greatly since I've been around. I'm not going to be willing to go back on standby this time though - She will get her attention fix...

    how to get my ex gf back

    OK guys, she's broken silence. With a text saying she needs me to urgently sort out something for her and her boy. Since my last post, I went out on Friday night and went to a music bar I don't often visit, where I met a chap I knew some years ago but don't see very much of now. Anyway...

    What's the oldest item you own?

    A Roman coin, then a silver coin from the reign of King Robert the Bruce and a formidable door latch unearthed from just under the remains of the main door of the tower at a ruined a sixteenth century castle.

    Beef + veggies

    This - Whatever you do with mince/ground beef, always ensure you brown it properly first. This lets you skim-off any excess fat and helps it keep texture and flavour during further cooking. You also get some stuff called "gravy salt," a small amount of which which helps the browning...

    The Most AFC thing I've seen in a long time...

    This maybe? Posted earlier in the week on another board I frequent: Although I will agree that this looks like a manifestation of a much greater personal problem than straight oneitis!

    Want to get back at an ex AND have an easy way to approach HB10s?

    That is why you also get a cheap little pocket compact camera that you don't worry about or mind anyone else using! ;)

    Thoughts on Dance/Phone Game

    Dancing is a great way of breaking the ice with and getting up-close to many women IME. Although something with a bit of style and not grinding might be better for the first couple of dances. After that, it does tend to escalate quickly. :) After that, you will need all your other skill of...

    drinking alcohol to overcome shyness

    Alcohol certainly has its place but it also might be a good idea to try to get to grips with the causes of your shyness. I learned the hard way BTW, by nearly killing myself with drink at a rather early age. After that, I had no option but to learn to go about things sober and although I...

    how to get my ex gf back

    Well, the Aquavit lady said yes to going on a hillwalk with me when the weather improves. She's a fit, active outdoorsy woman and just now I am actually kind-of longing for the fresh air and wildness of the mountains here. Its been too long since I was last out in the wild. Spent too much...

    Advice for meeting girls at the gym needed.

    In that case, you should maybe look for a gym that has a range of social activities in its program as well? The second gym I mentioned was like that, with regular nights-out and parties for members. Quite a lot of people met and hooked-up at those. I also found the spa could be a better...

    Advice for meeting girls at the gym needed.

    It depends on the gym IME. The one I currently go to is not good at all, although an excellent gym and near my home, it has a wide range of activities/facillities and many families/partners or company groups go there. Saying that, if you go-in later (after 8pm) on a Friday.Saturday night...

    how to get my ex gf back

    Not upset at all, more bemused and trying to get a handle on what drives her to these extremes. Yes. However I've called her bluff and stood right up to her now, so I'll see if that brings any significant change. If not, I won't waste any more sleep on her. Some of her later texts were...

    Yes, you are right Othello. That is exactly what I intend to try and do from now on. :)

    how to get my ex gf back

    Thanks Othello. :) And word must be getting around as I've just had a text from another nice woman I know, asking if I'd go to see a band with her on Saturday. Back in the game - finally? :)
