God this better mean no more Les Mis

There are other stages in a break-up?

Let me buy you a drink, babe. Caveat: I will only go to gay bars. It's Ladies' Night over at Partly to scope out dudes for you, but mostly so I don't have to throw a drink in some creep's face again.

[Marcus Wraysford]

Marcus Wraysford commented on his status:
Yep. Denial, grief, bargaining... oh wait, I may have confused it with something else...

You are the best, Holloway. How about we both get spectacularly sloshed on wine?? You are now my official veto-er since I am demonstrably rather terrible at picking my own blokes. Update: Rn, I don't care about relationships, I will simply accept a bloke looking for a one-night stand. I no longer care if that's slightly desperate or not- if he's cute and gay, I'm there, fuck it.

Yeah what was the deal with that drink thing? Lillian mentioned it when she blew through the Coffee Bean like the force of nature she is.

[Lacey Holloway]

Lacey Holloway commented on your status:
Drinking must be one.

Before you give me veto power, remember that I hate everyone. Aren't one-night stands kind of skeevy tho Lol babe, are you advertising to all your FB friends? :P

Whatever, people loved it. If I'd known fucking Beerman was going to get his knickers in a twist about it...

[Marcus Wraysford]

Marcus Wraysford commented on his status:
Yep, the first and last one? Idk.

Fantastic, then in that case I will be going home early without a companion which is probably for the best. I wasn't intending to. Mind you, I didn't entirely mean that last comment re: one night stands- I'd like to blame my little friend rosé for that disgusting level of indecency...

Hey, no judgement from me, I grinned when I heard about it. Babe, I'm sure he more than deserved it. And that's... well that's just Biermann. *shrug*

[Lacey Holloway]

Lacey Holloway commented on your status:
Way to drink all the rosé, dick. ;)

Lacey Holloway sent you a message:
I'm just saying, like, don't let me accidentally cockblock you or whatever. You know I'm weird about sex stuff but like I don't really care either way, just wrap it before you tap it. And don't let him touch any of my shit in the bathroom.

You don't have to worry about any of this stuff with me btw, seeing as I am most assuredly dying a virgin etc. etc.

[Marcus Wraysford]

Marcus Wraysford sent you a message:
Ha, please, you could hardly cockblock me, Holloway; if I wanted sex, I'd go get it regardless of who said I shouldn't. But thanks for The Talk, mum...

So why do you think you will be dying a virgin, my lovely? No way, Lace. Not if you don't want to. I mean if you do, whatever, your life your choices. I don't judge. You can talk to me about stuff like this if you want, you know? I know I'm prob wholly unhelpful but yeah, I'm here.

[Lacey Holloway]

Lacey Holloway sent you a message:
But also like, if you want to get rid of a creep I can totally scare him away.

Thanks, Version of My Mum Who Does More Than Think Everything's an Abomination. I don't really want to talk about it. I've looked in a mirror, I know I technically could get it or whatever There's a... person but they probably aren't interested in girls so whatever. Vibrators were invented for a reason.

(it's not you, fyi)

[Marcus Wraysford]

Marcus Wraysford sent you a message:
I will keep that in mind, thanks L! Any chance you feel like throwing a drink in Liam’s face??

Haha you’re welcome :P Look, I know Lillian said that Are you ga- Omg LOL, I was under no illusions, but cheers for the clarification via fyi all the same!

And hey it’s cool, you know where I live if you ever do want to talk, though. I swear I’ll stop now with the mushy crap just… yeah… look Lace you’re hot, end of, so just go for it if you want to, you never know what could happen. Okay, done now, I swear.

[Lacey Holloway]

Lacey Holloway sent you a message:
My Holy Grail, tbh.

Babe you know I love you, but lol no.

Ugh, this is so embarrassing, and I swear to God if you bring it up in person I'll punch you in the face, but like... I don't know how that shit even works. Like duh I know how it works-works but not like who does what, or when, or how soon, or how to get to that point in the first place and like, at some point I'm going to have to confess to the giperson that I have the romantic experience of your average thirteen-year-old and omg I want to die.

[Marcus Wraysford]

Marcus Wraysford sent you a message:
Lace, you're the best. Though I won't pretend the hypothetical rejection didn't hurt a little bit, I think it was the 'lol' bit that was what got me most. jk. ;)
​
Don't be embarrassed, god, I have like no filter so I'm just going to be honest here, OK? It's utterly mortifying, that first couple of clumsy awkward fumbles (i'm talking emotionally and physically here) but it gets better once you get past that. Yeah... expect awkwardness and embarrassment but you know what, just work through it and take it as it comes. I'd say try not to over think stuff like this but I am the worst for that. Play by ear with it, saying idk 'you must go on four dates before you broach the possibility of sex' is just wrong, since every situation is different and people go into stuff with different levels of experience.
​
If you want to elaborate further with details, my inbox is always open, or there's a couple of bottles of wine with our names on them if you ever do want to do this kind of convo in person. I promise not to judge or ever mention anything you tell me in confidence, Holloway.

[Lacey Holloway]

Lacey Holloway sent you a message:
Oh my God, Marcus, you're so sexy; the way you remind me of my freckly redheaded brother totally does it for me... :P

It's just... I like to be in control and know what I'm doing and the awkwardness just seems totally unbearable and ugh. I can't even bring myself to come out and say what I want to say half the time; it's like this lump in my throat that won't go away. It just sucks.

Thanks for letting me bitch, by the way. So I'm Look... you know what I've been hinting at these past few months, don't you? I don't need/want to have a whole discussion about it or whatever. I just need to know if you know.

[Justin Biermann]

Whatever, people loved it. If I'd known fucking Beerman was going to get his knickers in a twist about it...

Justin Andrew Biermann commented on your status:
*Biermann

That was, strangely, my only objection to this thread.

[Marcus Wraysford]

Marcus Wraysford sent you a message:
Point well and truly taken… ;)

I know, hun, I know. Look none of us like the awkwardness and uncertainty at the start of anything but just remember… how would anything awesome ever happen if no one powered through the initial discomfort? Try. Just try. I know it sucks but just give it a shot, half a shot even.

Hinting at?! You’re welcome. But yeah… do I know what you’ve been hinting at? Look, I’m just gonna be upfront now, are you asking me if I know that you’re gay? Yes, Lace, I do know. Shall we just leave it at that? No, let me just say first that I for one think you should go for it with whoever the mystery lady is. Sure, she might turn out not to be gay and you might get rebuffed (hey I did, with Kyle, yeah bad call on my part, I blame faulty gaydar) but you never know what could come out of it. For one, she might like you.

Marcus Wraysford commented on his status:
Your only objection was the misspelling of your name? Woaaaah Biermann, you've changed, mate. Jk :P

[Lacey Holloway]

Lacey Holloway sent you a message:
Ugh, fine, I re-activated my okcupid profile. And set it so straight people can't find me. I don't even know if I'm going to go through with anything. And if you mention this to anyone you are dead to me.

For every Kyle who's totally cool with it, there's someone who's going to get all freaked out. I'm not, like, awesome at maintaining new friendships and I don't want to fuck it all up again.

Can we talk about something else? Where are we going out tonight?
