I'll second that. When you've just won something major, everyone coos over what you've done, and not who you are. It is a great feeling when everyone is going on about what you've done and someone comes and talks to you about you, rather than about the acheivement.

Oh to go back to doing athletics...

Dishonest? What's so dishonest about asking her how she did instead of blurbing everything out yourself?

As for flattery, everyone can use some now and then, as long as it is sincere appreciation. That's what everybody wants, sincere appreciation.

It's dishonest insofar as it involves pretending I didn't know. Granted, it's a white lie, but I'm trying to not get in the habit of deceit on any terms, great or small. Operative word: trying!

"How could you do so well?" strikes me as flattery, not to mention that implies I didn't think she could do it, and I honestly did. She's extremely nice and sweet, but I could tell that she has the willpower to fight and win from talking to her. And I was invisibly rooting for her all the way, after all. What you suggested sounded intrinsically insincere to me. Maybe I read too much into it though.

Thanks for the sage advice to all who didn't give me pointers on how to finagle the situation into getting to second base. [pointed glare]

Sikander is probably the most talented girl handler in the history of mankind since every advice he's ever given on the topic is pure gold.

Dress up like a ninja and stalk her... don't do a good job... pretend you invisible... make your own sound effects

#1 reason why I should never be a mod:- I just couldnt resist editing out that 'for'.

Im thinking that she would be impressed if you told her you had been following her progress on the web site and all. She would be flattered that you were so interested, and then she could talk in more detail about the fights.

Party. Alcohol. Golden Syrup.

Challenge her to an arm wrestle and let us know how it goes. Besides that, she's already spoken for, so make sure you do something that you also enjoy while she is here. No point being sycophantic - if you're relaxed and having a good time, she probably will enjoy her visit too.

What the heck is golden syrup?

[Drogue]

Very thick sugar syrup. Imagine treacle, but without the flavour. It just taste's of sugar/caramel.

Sooner or later, a woman is going to ask you, "Do I look fat?"

I'm pretty sure that's why hip-hop culture invented the word phat, UR. So I'm off the hook there.

It becomes somewhat less viscous when it is warmed to say, body temperature.. :naughy:

Nice sig, I see my idea on the duality nature of the mind (love and rationality) is starting to rub off on you!

And you were saying I was dishonest
