All about people

Hmmm I have a tricky issue that may need light from more than one area to explore.

Coming off the dance floor very late at Southport with an old friend we were both laughing. It was late my feet had packed up and my brain had given in, I was all about done in for the night when a woman approached. We were introduced for me as far as I know for the first time. She recognised me from the forum and introduced herself with her forum name - I was none the wiser

The look I received was almost hostility, and the attempts at converstation were not very well received.

It felt like a territory issue or something like that, but I couldn't put my finger on it, had she watched up dancing she would have laughed as well. Had she stopped to talk she would have found that we were old friends hadn't seen each other for over two years, and but somehow dance situations aren't like that feelings are hurt and feathers sometimes ruffled.

I went home early from Southport, met my son home from his 18th did the washing and spent the Sunday evening and night with my non dancing partner. We have been together for a year now, our anniversary is at the end of the month, but have known each other since we were 18. I fancied him like mad - but never let him know it.
We have always been fairly close for over 3 years but not in a relationship as our sons are best friends! (They would have been shocked but are 20 and 21 now so old enough to cope!)

Assumptions are sometimes made a little too quickly and I think that a few facts about peoples real lives often straightens them out.

I hope these facts help.

Hi do you think it was ME she fancied then?

I just think some people can come across less than friendly some times, but when you actually get behind it, it was something else alltogether, you should have asked

'have I done something to upset you'


than you would know

I wasn't there so obviously just speaking from my experience, but wonder if the other person was maybe tired too? If she is anything like me when my brain is ready to sleep I am evil to everyone

I think that it's probably my issue but I do get surprised when people think they know me because they have seen me on the forum. They don't know me, they just read some odds and ends that I write..

Yes I can understand that. But I had an issue with someone at the weekend purely my own fault, I misunderstood what this person said. It all got cleared up and I apologised for being a grumpy cow.

But if nothing had been done about it, I would've come away thinking this person was XYZ and having a go, when in actual fact they were saying the opposite. (not mentioning any names )

It's easily done but better to get things worthwhile cleared up.

Is this to be considered as a public apology for being a Grumpy Cow!
Because I accept it behalf of the Forum!
