At last a bit of ticker. ;D Were you deliberately baiting David. Yes I was and others here know it. David is having problems with his male peers in that they are giving him a hard time I feel and he must stand up to them. (I suggest individually and in private) never take on the group as you will then in turn get group response. When he deals with that, he will confide with men about his little romantic problems like all men do.

In case anyone complains about my treatment of David, consider this. You have made him a into a BL..dy sook over three years. Christ only knows how you women are going to raise boys. Hang your heads in shame. How anyone treats another on this board is not a reflection of the way they parent their children. Hang your head in shame. Many times on here I make an unpopular point that is half tongue in cheek. That was one of them

When he deals with that, he will confide with men about his little romantic problems like all men do. To elaborate. Boys start off by going to functions to meet girls as a group and once this pattern is established may go to these same functions in pairs or singles knowing there peer friends will be there. This leads to dating as doubles or 'hey charlie Laura really digs you" type of chat and the rest is history. This is grossly oversimplified of course. You may think you met your mate by sheer serendipity but in reality both of you were following rituals that ultimately led to your "chance" meeting.

That makes sense. As well as using forums for advice, David frequently asks for feedback from female friends or female relatives of the girls he's interested in. David has started 'courting' late in life. He's missed a great deal in learning how to read cues and the confidence in acting on them. Going to someone of your own sex for that kind of advice is far more reliable. Girls don't look for signs of attraction from other girls, they've learned to look for it from boys. Plus, it puts the friends of the girls in an awkward position. They're being asked to 'snitch' on their friend. If I were in that position, I would give a neutral reply. If I knew something, I wouldn't say so.
btw, my husband-to-be approached me after one of his friends told him I liked him. I actually said no such thing.

Intrigueing stuff, how we meet our beloved. Maybe as John Fogerty would say "Oohoo I hoid it on the grapevine" in Gems husbands case. Or maybe she dropped her hanky in front of him? My very cheeky Mum simply asked Dad (a complete stranger except she knew who he was) "could you please tell me the time?" Dad said "yes it's Four fifteen" is your watch running slow?" "Yes" she fibbed "Do you know a good Watchmaker" '"Matter of fact I do" said Dad. "I will show you the way, he is one down from the next corner" "Why thank you " said Mum. They were engaged within a year

I have to admit I met my husband through his two best friends. I'd seen my husband when I was at Netball training and he at footy training. I told my friend that I fancied him, so she told her boyfriend who in turn told his friend, who was the younger brother of one of (my now) husband's friends. Then he told his big brother who told his other friend, then they got together and invited me and another female friend to watch them and he (my husband) play squash! Unbeknownst to me my husband also fancied me, so things went from there! ;D The rest as they say is History, that was 30yrs ago!!
