Hey there Johnx76,
you clicked on the last entry not Sadeyedlady, so your post arrived in my mail this evening.

You are absolutely right Johnx76. I can testify to that very experience happening this very week! Monday last week I said to friends I need introductions coz I don't get out and about.

Monday evening I was given the number of a chap they reckon they were going to 'set me up' with a couple of years ago. I took the number and text him Tuesday explaining who I was and why I was calling. We dated for the next evening!

Wednesday other friends by chance introduced me to a different chap and we arranged a date for next Friday night! Meanwhile the first chap and I went for a blind date Wednesday evening at a bookshop cafe. We had a very pleasant time, me with my 20 questions!! So he invites me out for Saturday night and we went to a fabulous restaurant bar with a great blues band. I haven't had such a good time in ages. We made another dinner date for this Wednesday.

Today, Tuesday one week after my bold first phone call I called chappie no.2 to reneg next Friday (as chappie no.1 and I are getting along like a house on fire). All that from one text message that my girlfriend discouraged me from making, saying she couldn't believe I was so forward! Neither could I!!!

Guys extend themselves all the time and us chicks sit back waiting. I would do it again and my new friend says it put a smile on his dial getting an invite out of the blue from an unknown woman!!!

Very early days but we have already made arrangements to celebrate our mutual birthdays next month. There is a skip in my step this week and my girlfriend is still going on about it. Admittedly I might have been feeling a tad despondent if I had two knock backs instead of two positive responses. Nothing ventured nothing gained. As I said in the last post, I salute the guys for putting their egos on the line so often.

So that's my exciting week folks, Sadeyedlady be inspired. My caution for you Sadeyedlady was simply not to presume too much about how or why your friend was at the festival, just enjoy that he was and go from there.

Regards Frances.
Still trying to eat right sleep right and play hard though I missed my swim this morning.
