:hug: You're a sweetheart, young Hamdir. You just weren't around long enough for me to do something stupid...like leave the country or get scared and run a mile.

I dunno, just not met someone I *really* like in a while, and they feel the same way/aren't in a relationship. I play in a fucking rock band, when did this stop working in my favour!? :lol:

A while back me and my man-whorish mate went into a local McDonalds establishment, and the girl who served us was beautiful. She reminded me (looks wise, anyway) of Ellen Page in Juno, minus the preggo. For some reason, I couldn't get her out of my mind for the rest of the day. I wanted to go back and buy more food just to see her again (but decided against it due to money and risking looking like a right pig). To top things off, when I mentioned her later to my mate, he said he didn't really pay attention to her as "she didn't really seem interested in [him]" (which kinda shows you all a bit of what he's like).
Now, one of my best (female) mates has just got a job in that very store! I've told her about this girl, and she's said that she'll try to get talking to her and dig up some info for me, as well as chucking in a few good words about her friend Craig, who's single and is a really nice guy :D

I'm probably just being optimistic about all this, but hey, it's worth a shot.


UPDATE:
Just got a text from the mate who was gonna talk to her for me..
She's taken. Fuckballs.

Had another talk with the girl I was moaning about a while back. She's content with her merely adequate boyfriend (her words, not mine), and so I have no hope there. :yes:

The next day, an ex came over, and owing to events, I'm slightly less bitter about the whole situation than I could be. But hey, the fact remains that I completely fail to 'pull' anyone I genuinely like, and have an entirely undeserved reputation for the opposite.

You (Alex) sent me a Facebook message about some sort of super-spy James Bond-esque seagull. Your sense of humour's pretty decent it seems :lol: *shrug*

Oh, Quentin the seagull! Yeah, we went to Whitby because Jess's Master's is something to do with Captain Cook monuments. Everytime she went for a close-up, Quentin flew in, ruining the scene.

I have red hair, and a red wristband will clash. Please change this. Thank you.

That seems to be the problem in York, it's big enough to be a city, but small enough to know, or at least know something about, just about everybody who lives there, so meeting new people is quite the challenge. I've found from experience (not whilst looking for a relationship, as I'm in one) that if you start talking to someone and you mention, say, where you work or which school you went to, then the person your talking to will be like "ohh, so you know this person, and this person, etc etc etc."

You can't not have heard something about everyone in york...

Never. You'll have to dye your hair I'm afraid. :eyes:
