:(

Was out at the pub tonight with a few mates. Spent a long time staring at a very fit (but very young) bird. Nice. Sadly though, the night was dominated by the fact that one of our own is going through difficulties, marriage-wise. I'd love to be able to help, but I officially don't know anything and can't really broach the subject until/unless he opens up. He's not likely to, either. He's one of those very introverted types who mentions fuck all about his private life.

As predicted.

As semi-predicted a while ago, I've heard nothing from PD, let alone arranged the drink we had talked about. Perhaps she got caught up in the rush before Christmas and couldn't make arrangements, but it would have been nice to have had her keep her promise of contact. Never mind. I'm off to the pub this afternoon with old work colleagues and that should be a good laugh. An old fuck buddy of mine will be there too (where'd you think I learned my lesson about messing around with people you work with?) so that's going to be interesting (in a good rather than bad way).

A completely sexist comment...

It would be nice if the girls from work made the same effort every day as they did for the Xmas bash last night. The female members of our firm's workforce scrub up extremely well (and that's without beer goggles!)

Plenty of totty on show last night.

Xmas bash

I have been ill over the weekend - nothing serious mind - just a bad combination of stomach bug and the possible onset of the 'flu. I'm starting to feel much better though. I'll probably return to work tomorrow and make it through the day.

The issue is that it's our work's Xmas bash tomorrow night and I really can't see myself being in the mood to go - especially if I'm coming down off this bug/'flu thing. Plus, the Lickable Girl from work's not even going, which is a crying shame as this would really reduce the perving opportunities (plus there is/was a real chance to have an actual conversation with her rather than just say "hello" and then grab a sneaky perv). Damnit.

Why has no-one thought of this before?

A friend of mine pointed me towards this site set up by Sarah Beeney (of Property Ladder fame) where people sign their single friends up to a dating site and recommend them by describing them. I think this is fascinating as it has a completely different atmosphere to a normal dating site which seems to be very stilted and awkward (and I know people who use them regularly and agree).

Luckily none of my female friends know this site exists. They'd be more than willing to put my name up there, no doubt!

And it's over to you...

Reading back over some of my past posts, it seems to me that people might mistake me for a man obsessed with breasts. When it comes to the (so-called) fairer sex, it's not a pre-requisite, though. When it comes down purely to looks it might be their eyes, their arse, their smile and yes, their breasts. I wouldn't classify myself as a "breast man", though.

However, to completely negate what I've just said, tonight was the very last night of my Tuesday thing. PD was there and we had a good giggle as per usual plus, when she leant over to whisper to me, I couldn't help but get an eyeful of her rack which is absolutely magnificent.

Anyway, we caught up on our respective weekends (it transpires that I was in the right place until a last minute decision was made by other parties) and upcoming Christmas plans. As we parted company, the ball was left firmly in her court regarding heading out for a drink (she has all my contact details and I have none of hers) so it's a matter of waiting to see if she chooses to call. I see no reason why she shouldn't - we hit it off pretty well and have had fun over the past few months. I'm fairly upbeat about this, though with my usual reservations about whether she actually will call. There's also the fact that I'm not entirely sure what it is I'm looking for from this friendship. She would be a good friend, I feel, but she is cute and sexy and she also seems to be quite high maintenance. The first two are no problem, but if it ever developed beyond just friends, then the last thing would be a real issue.

I think I'm just getting ahead of myself though.

See?

I said earlier in the week that these thing never go according to plan, and that was certainly true. Having managed the near impossible of finding someone to head to the pub with, PD was nowhere to be seen (at least, I couldn't see her during my occasional trips around the pub a.k.a. totty watch). I'll probably not find out where she was until Tuesday, which is the last night of the thing where we meet up.

Result!

Mate called. We're going out for a few pints into the city. Probably only for a few hours, but that should hopefully be enough and it'll be great to see him again.

Cutting it close.

I've heard back from my mate and he hasn't said "no" to heading out for a few pints as yet. I'm expecting a call from him any minute, so it's still possible that I could be out in the pub tonight for a few beers.

The countdown!

With about 5 hours to go until I should be in the pub, I've yet to find any takers for heading out for at least a few pints. This distresses me not only because of the potential for a good evening (PD, apart from being easy on the eye, is great fun) but because, as I've stated before, it show just how much my social life really sucks ass at the moment.

The one guy I hoped I'd be meeting is off visiting friends today, so it's unlikely he'll be back in time (and if so, probably won't be in the mood as it involves a lot of travelling). Bah.

No, no, no!

As predicted, getting people out on Saturday night is proving more difficult than it should (a good indication of how crap my social life is). I had two guys in mind, and one of them is working. The other, who is only back in town for a few days has yet to answer my tests. I'd like to catch up with him (I've known him for aaaages), but the only free night I have between now and him leaving is Saturday (which ties in nicely with the PD thing) so I hope he replies soon.

Let's see what happens.

It's Tuesday, so that means spending time with the rather sexy PD (and she was looking rather foxy tonight with plenty of cleavage on show). It's always fun, but it would be nice to see her socially. I don't know if that's possible though, but the stuff that means we meet up every Tuesday ends as of next week. I do still have her email address, so asking her for a coffee or a drink isn't out of the question if it comes down to that.

I think I know where she'll be on Saturday night, or more accurately, I know where she thinks she'll be so if I can get some social chums together, that could be something to organise. These things have a habit of never going according to plan though.
