Now, being a guy I have come to realise that when a woman says something they can often mean something compleatly different. And they don't distinguish when they're doing this. We're just supposed to know. This can make life...... interesting.......
I was having a msn conversation with my friend Linnet and somehow we got from Welsh Hip-hop music (which apparently is quite good) to finding "The One".
Being slightly sceptical of there being only "one person" in the entire world with which you can love and marry and be with forever and ever I was understandably concerned with the fact that Linnet had actually planned on meeting and being married to "him" by now.
Apparently her current state of being single is a something to be worried about. Her 'biological clock is ticking louder and louder' (her words, not mine.... I've been told off before for saying such things). this is all apparently brought about by getting a txt from her best friend saying that she's gotten engaged. So along came all the "all my friends of my age are married, engaged, have kids, etc, etc......."
Pointing out that I was mearly three months younger than she was and was in the same (if not worse situation, still being in Uni) I was told that I didn't count. It seems that turning girls down when they ask you out means that you're still in the game. that and there's this "guy" that she's been really hoping will ask her out but hasn't yet. The only guy that I can think of her talking about for any length of time is Gavin Henson, but I don't think it's him.
So, if I can finsih work early enough on Saturday we're going to go have a curry in K2 before I get dragged to hear the winner of Wow-Factor 2004 performing........and then came the question that threw me...... "If I turned down these girls cause I didn't fancy them, does that mean that if a girl who was a bit fanciable asked me out would I say yes??"
That could be a perfectly honest question. I know that it's almost certainly an honest question....... but I'm still suddenly worried all the same.....
And while on the subject of what words women speak. I was told (this time by someone else compleatly) that I'd done something really sweet. I know that that can mean "nice" but it does mean other stuff, a bit more than nice..... was I simply jumping to conclusion because of the pervious conversation with Linnet or not....??
You know, the Plain English Campaign could get involved!!!
nb - you know when you're getting old when girls become women!!!!
