Link 2: Kitten's fans discuss dressing up

Well Magnolea - there has been quite a bit of discussion about dressing up as a school girl. It is pervy to fancy a woman who does that and is it slutty for a girl to do that for her man. I'll come back to that in another post - for those of you who haven't seen the discussion, just scroll down to see what readers are saying. Keeps our minds off the recession at the very least!

I looked like a tart instead of a sexy devil in the red dress on Saturday  night so I had to go to the Halloween party as myself.

Just as well really 'cause there was only about three people dressed up so I would have looked even more obviously dreadful!

Anyway, nothing scandalous to report from it and I am still single. But I was talking to a fellow singleton friend of mine the next day and she had a tale to tell that made me think we might be better off alone.

She hooked up with a slighter younger guy

She would be veering towards her late 30s and she recently scored with a guy somewhat younger. He is in his 30s, yes, but is quite a few years her junior.

They got on really well the night they met and while she didn't have high hopes (simply 'cause she stops herself having those these days!), she did like him and hoped to see him again. Which she did eventually.

He asked her out but it was about two weeks before they got to have the actual date because they both had other things going on.

She knew it would go nowhere

So the second meet up went OK – not great, yet not awful, but she knew in her heart it wouldn't go any further. You know how you just know? Well, she just knew.

And when he called her the next day to ask her out again (he was a bit keen) she decided there was no point in leading him on etc, so she told him what her instincts were.

Well, he lost the plot! I swear to God. Seemingly it's not just the ladies in their 30s who can go nuts. Nope, there are guys out there at it too!

He told her she had “hurt” him! Hurt?! When she tried to object he became even more hysterical. So she tried a different tone by suggesting that he might be going over the top with his reaction.

He lost the plot again

Bad move – he lost the plot again. He said he couldn't believe she was being so “cruel” and he appealed to her to give them another chance.

By now she had no choice but to point out to him that in reality they'd not even gotten past the first chance – it was a snog followed by one date after all.

That was when his appealing turned to begging as he said sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry for coming on so strong and pleaded with her to pretend he hadn't done this so they could start over.

She had to cut off all contact

She had to resort to blanking his calls and messages in the end but I can tell you she got a right fright. She's still quite shook actually.

She thought she was a good judge of character, yet she never predicted this twist in his personality. (It was more like a severe kink really I suppose!)

And to make matters worse, he was blaming her for the entire debacle and she did nothing only go out with him and then try to let him down gently.

I thought it was all kind of funny, God forgive me (!) and I found it oddly comforting that it's not the gals who have the crazy gene when it comes to matters of the heart!
