A bit "woah there darling! Chill out!".<br /><br />But I take where you're all coming from. And if there ever had been talk of things progressing, or a hint of flirtation on my behalf, or anything more than awkward-ish getting to know you type conversation, a promise of something more from me, ever, then maybe I'd wing in there with an apologetic text.<br /><br />But there hasn't been, really. So I'm not sure I've got anything to say.Please Don't Eat With Your Mouth Openhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09246896544080806179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30034378.post-73254366475311102112011-04-07T08:41:48.022+01:002011-04-07T08:41:48.022+01:00I have to say I'm with the General.
