I'm amazed

I just had a conversation with my mum about splitting up with Mike and basically we didn't disagree on anything at all for the most part. With me and relationships this is usual. Salient points being that he's very nice and that makes it more sad to lose him but probably makes the whole splitting up less horrible than it would be if he were nasty. That being properly single for a bit is a great idea. That turning a part time relationship into a full time one was always going to be a bit difficult so it's not too surprising if we ended up wanting different things. And that being friends is cool. I think you're still in her good books.

I was amused that she also said "I'd say there were plenty more fish in the sea but I'm beginning to realise the nice ones really are all gay". Presumably not including my dad ;-) But as I say I'm not fishing right now.

I'm trying to figure out if she's trying to imply I'm gay...
BTW as you should know from #tropic, nice usually means ignorant :-)

Not having seen you and J together I doubt she thinks you're gay.

I must confess that when Mike first appeared around these parts I did wonder... :-)

I still want to know how he recognised me using gay.com once in a college computer room, when he was sat on the other side of said room.

My reply to "plenty more fish in the sea" was "I don't want to fuck fish". This may or may not be helpful.

Could be worse. Last time she described me as "a very attractive fish".

There's more to life than fucking.

Actually, some of the nice ones are unwashed trolls with dental hygiene habits that would make a werewolf faint, and prove only to blossom into astonishingly caring partners once you advance them a bit of time and affection based on educated guesswork and optimism.

Well, at least one of them is.

Well, he used to be.

I think I'll stop digging now before he reads this and murders me..

It's true. Well, I wouldn't know about your partner, and it's not the case of mine, but I watched two of my good but unwashed friends at university blossom amazingly when a couple of girls saw past the sweat.

Shame! I'd always imagined OldBloke as a smell hairy yeti biker type in early 70s Manchester.

He may well have been, but I didn't see him till the early 00s. Perhaps his first wife sorted him out...
