Kris Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 This will sound unbelievable (as in I wouldn't believe it) but I was actually thinking of a soft aqua sweater. Honestly! Flats, perfect. Skirt, right choice too (go with the softer one). No need, Distraction. No we don't actually. Actually counterproductive (especially the body spray). Your body will be pumping out so many intoxicating pheromones nothing should get in their way. Trust me :D With the make-up, if you feel confident about it, you could put a small spin on the "regular face", a subtle (I said "subtle" right?) shift towards a nighttime look. Something he can't put his finger on. Hmm? Bill (who's giving out make-up advice? :D) If you aren't already, have you considered a second career writing romance novels? :D ETA: Not sleazy ones, of course!!!!

I think she should wait and change it once he has asked her to marry him. ;) I believe if she emails the mods they can change her screen name on the current account.

Email? Just wait? I was with a friend today who knows him well (she's the one who said she thought we should date) and she said he is most definitely NOT the kind to say yes then blow me off. His yes is yes and his no is no, and he definitely said yes. So, what do you think? Bill? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnTheBrink Posted September 24, 2008 Author Share Posted September 24, 2008 He is terrified that he is going to mess this up with you and second guessing wether he was really getting the vibe he thought he was getting when you asked him to dinner. He is totally planning on confirming the date tonight at church. I would put money on that. He doesn't want to call and end up saying "ummm" 15 times. If he is on some pilot message board they are all telling him not to jump the gun, play it casual and see how things are with you tonight. So who thinks there is a pilot message board out there who has been there each step of the way with Michella's Fella? Every time he went over to fix her car or something and especially when he posted about making the doll bed they were encouraging him. Telling him to bide his time and all would be well..... Interesting to think about isn't it? If that ended up being true, I'd laugh and laugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicole M Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Make sure to use a lot of fresh garlic (no garlic powder or garlic salt) in the lasagna. Don't ask why, just trust me :001_smile: Red wine, and do you have any Sinatra? Candles! What fun! Bill Whoa there, kids. Whoa. Let's back up just a darned minute here. Garlic. I totally get where Bill was going with this, and yes, good idea... if, and I speak from experience here, IF Michella our Bella does not have any digestive issues with garlic. And we hope Fly Boy doesn't have any digestive issues with it either. Because a significant portion of the population can suffer severe... pains after eating garlic. And trust me on this one (and I wish I had a more polite term here), gas can really put a damper on the romance. I don't know that there is any way to test the waters here, but I think we can take "I can do lasagne" as a sign that our mustachioed, blue eyed pilot is okay with it. We won't ask Michella for a report on her status with garlic, for obvious reasons. But in the event that we're ever handing out dinner advice to single guys or gals on the board, please let's remember the flatulance factor.

Nicole (whose hubby, who married her anyway, puts Beano in her Christmas stocking every year) You can make fabulous dishes with tomato sauce with no garlic. I cannot eat garlic, and cannot stand to be very close to my dh if he eats garlic (and the smell lasts all night long). So I buy garlic free salad dressings and make all tomato sauces without garlic. Often without onions. The good thing is that dh doesn't really care for garlic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
