So....
I'm bored... so BORED with my job. And poorly paid...
To cut to the chase, a while back I thought it might be fun to be a train driver and too that end, I joined an e-group dedicated to all things to do with trains.
To cut to the end of the chase...
A very nice guy has befriended me with promises of sharing his knowledge about working for the train companies etc.... and so here comes the dilemma:
During the course of a great many emails and txt messages, he has let it be known that A) He is unhappily married B) It's obvious that he's flirting with me big time and C) Is very lonely...
Thing is, we have a meeting planned for next week. It'll be the first time we've met, and indeed the first time we've speak.
I'm hoping for some choice tips in filling in the application form but I get the feeling he's hoping for something a bit more 'fun', if you get my drift?
Now... how do I let this guy down gently yet still make it clear I think he's a cool guy and apprecaite the help?
dunno
I'm tired and in a real "lovey dovey lets all be friends" mode due to the amount of Absinthe I've drunk tonight but my advice genes usually stay sober at all times in case of somebody in need (kinda like a pissed St Bernard dog would be)
PM heading over to you, troubled thing !

Hi Heather
You say "Right Casey Jones this train terminates at the next pint. Please mind the gap whilst leaving this bar!!
Hi H
I'm hoping for some choice tips in filling in the application form but I get the feeling he's hoping for something a bit more 'fun', if you get my drift?
Now... how do I let this guy down gently yet still make it clear I think he's a cool guy and appreciate the help?

A). Arrange for someone else to turn up, once you've got the info from him, ie ANOTHER BLOKE!!! That should do it.
B). Wrong time of the month?
C). Give me a time to call to say your house is burning down/ flooded/ surrounded by police, etc, etc. I think you get the pic lol

Oh, and watch out for TS in the last carriage on the late night trains - the little tinker!!
Cheers, guys... sound and amusing advice the like of which is gold standard on SH. Just goes to show this is the place to be.
What I was attempting to drive at in my usually daft manner was to say...
We as swingers are not so 'desparate' (for want of a better word) as folks looking for a quick dip over the side out of wed lock. Nothing wrong with the guy flirting with me... but if a shag is what I was looking for, a shag is what I'd ask for - here would be a good place and not a train nerds forum.
Should I tell this guy about my lifestyle? Make it clear that I'm not wishing to get down at get dirty with someone who is looking for something I'm not? rolleyes
Hxx
Hi Heather
Just get information you need, and keep you lifestyle away. Because before you know it . He Mr Train man himself is swinger, and the real reason he wants to leave his wife is because she will not play.
Hey presto then he is one guy you can't get away from. banghead
Wish you luck

Hiya Heather
To get the information you need, and, also to let the poor guy down gently, with his pride still in tact, you can always take the moral stance.
If he comes on to you then just gently explain that you really do like him, great guy etc. As much as you are tempted, you really need to go away and think about the situation as you're not comfortable with the fact that he is married.
At least then you will be doing it gently and not turning him down stone dead. Hopefully with a friendship and advisor still in tact.
Disclaimer: Everyone, please don't have a pop at me about the ongoing married/single debate. This is merely a suggestion. It might or might not be my opinion, and certainly not an attempt to bring the debate back to life.
Tell him you have a wool allergy and his cardigan is bringing you out in a rash rotflmao :rotflmao:

Hello Heather
I think you mislead by by keep cutting to the chase !! Cannock Chase haha.
Many guys (perhaps like myself - but not necessarily) love to give a rare opportunity to help somebody. (rare because we (I mean they) have just a small endowment of knowledge/handiwork ability and like to balance the account for all the help they have had freely given to them.
They find they are giving help to a beautiful lady (or just a female) and their lower brain kicks in with a hard shout. They have suddenly found that they have got into reciprocal communication with a bird - something they have a great deal of difficulty doing. Make hay while the going is good, try to make a date. I mean, at least he has let you know where you stand with him. He is playing straight and simply needs to be told.
"Thanks for the useful information, but I really don't feel I want to break forum ranks and go so far as a meeting. I hope you will continue to support me in my search for the specialist knowledge which has been so helpful to me."
- Just another opinion, don't know if it helps balance the ideas
lol
please meet me tonight at 7pm - only joking, not cos I don't fancy you, just that I was taking on the idea of giving you some help and then demanding a date. O Hell, someone draw me a shovel so I can dig myself out of this.
ta ta 4 now
Mal... Your suggestion about the alergy is most tempting.
On the other hand... I could always tell him I'm gay.... scratch that, he'd view it as a challenge.
But on reflection you guys are right... it's best not to tell him about my lifestyle.
I've come to the conclusion what I need ( strictly for therapeutic reasons biggrin ) is a good old fashioned, no holds barred party!! :twisted: :twisted:
So... any good parties going down in the Croydon area ???

Heather.... just a wee question..... What is it that you do by way of employment that is so boring that you fancy becoming a train driver.... would have thought that staring down two parallel lines all day would drive you nuts.....
just wondering...
Gman
Not on the money they get for it!!!!

Gman.... that's a fair question and deserves a fair reply.
I work in a department store... I get shouted, sworn and spat at by shop lifters for a hour.
Train drivers get 32k a year for a four day week.
Should I go on...?

Hiya H,
Unlike the rabble, I have thunked and thunked, and come up with a plan which is sublime in its eloquence. It achieves both aims of obtaining the information, and preventing the shag.
Take one large hold all, filled with every sex toy you possess, incluidng the very biggest, meanest, ornery looking strap on you can find.
Once the conversation finishes, plonk the bag on the table, open it up, and say
"Right, time for you to get your reward."
:twisted:

Train drivers don't seem to be getting the appreciation that they deserve from this thread. It must be really difficult keeping a train balanced on top of those narrow rails.
Best of luck with your new job.

This idea might have a bit to much of an "ewwwwww" factor, but!
Keep scratching your crotch, once you've got the information about filling in the form say, "I hope I get the apointment from the STD clinic soon" :crazy:
