Am I addicted? What should I do?

edited September 2008 in Commuting chat
I went to my evening class tonight. Five miles away. Fully lit up, new reflective jacket, feeling smug when I got there. Bumped into a friend from round the corner there who said we could share lifts. I like her very much but I really don't want to drive. It's becoming an obsession..... suppose I may change my mind when the big freeze sets in or it starts to pour down...

    Tell her you like a big ring that gives you an incredibly satisfying ride and does she like that sort of thing?

    What? :shock:

    Is it cycling advice you are looking for or a dating service......

    She digs you and was offering you mucho bang bang.

    Now I like cycling and all that but chicks offering lifts trumps a pootle round teh corner.....

    I think you should get your mojo spokes tightened.

    Well that makes all the difference. Probably don't need to bother lowering your saddle.

    It's sad really isn't it, Linsen? You can't expect too much from this lot. One of them over in the SCR thread is pretending to himself that I ride around London wearing stockings...

    Even though he has just accused me of actually being a man.

    Intereresting.

    Ok Linsen, if a guy you liked invited you to do something which would mean you had to re-arrange cycling schedule you'd refuse wouldya? Works both ways :o :P

    I'm not the person in the SCR thread accusing you (just in case people think its me) but personally you need to lighten up.

    I mean really the decision rests with Linsen. She cycles to the place where she gets to see this person. If she drove she would see more of her as they would share lifts.

    The only question:
    Is the outcome (win or loose) worth the effort?

    Only Linsen can answer that.

    If your asking me what I would do, I dunno, depends on how much I liked the person. Truth of it is, if I liked her that much and I figured she liked me, just before my cycle home I'd ask her out for a drink sometime. This would give us the oppurtunity to learn more about each other, our interests and share the inner mosts of our personalities. It would also give me the chance to woo her, wear my nice shirt, trousers, shoes and bring my absolute A -game.

    Um I think you're taking it a bit too seriously there, DDD?

    (are you trying to set Linsen up with an extra-marital lesbian tryst, or asking her to give her mate your phone number?)

    Why is it always me :roll:

    I really can't win.

    My first post was only a bit of fun, no harm intended.

    My second post was meant to make amends for the first.

    my wife once BURPED those very words in a crowded bikers pub one time. She was only my g/f at the time... 5'1" in her socks and cute and blonde and lovely... and THAT came out of her gob.

    I was near crying with laughter at the time - my mate who had bet she couldn't say those words then bet she couldn't say "Great Fat Hairy Nadgers".

    She did. Right in the gap between tracks being played when the ENTIRE pub heard her. I had to go to the bog as I was going to wet myself if I didn't.

    Honestly, the volume was astonishing

    oh my goodness this has all become bigger than I intended! I don't see her in the class, she does a different one. I don't fancy her (I prefer men on the whole), and if it was a fit bloke would I change my plans? Well, that would depend how my husband felt about it! I meant to say that I think the bike may be taking over. That's ALL!

    That is not how the first post reads or how I will choose to remember this thread.

    point taken. We've all had a laugh anyway. And if you want to remember this as the lesbian love triangle thread, that's fine. I don't ever have to meet any of you..... (and no you can't have her phone number)
