    I know you don't take advice from yourself. Isn't it why you ask CUKers even for advise on which direction one should wipe one's arse?

        Just remember: a time will come, not far in the future, where you'll look back at this and either laugh or take a long drink.

        Unless she's utterly barking, skins you and wears your face. That's never fun.

I'm reasonably sure that she's expecting to 'seal the deal' that night as that was the night earmarked for the 'let's discuss this' discussion.

          So I think I'd better get my email written and sent ASAP as any delay will I fear compound this situation. Yes, I absolutely will be nice, thanks MS.

          Now I'd better go an prepare for my afternoon conference call.............................................. .. the one which she'll be leading

          Dear thingummy

          I've been worrying over our email exchange the other day - I fear that I may have given you the wrong impression. I'm not sure how serious your suggestion of marriage is, but my response was selfish and thoughtless. I have a lot of affection for you as a friend, but that is all. I briefly entertained the idea, but for all the wrong reasons - the only good reason for marriage is love, and I am not in love with you. I'm really flattered that you asked, and my ego briefly got the better of me. I am so sorry that I allowed this to happen, and I hope that you can forgive me and that we can remain friends.

          Yours affectionately

            I think calling her "Thingummy" should guarantee a cooling of relations

                  We don't need to see her snatch but a rough idea of what she looks like would help.

                    Very good, thanks! I

                    I'd better re-read that dreaded Whatsapp thread I'm pretty sure I did give the wrong message, more than simply the wrong impression.

                    Hey, MS, you up for proof-reading my real reply, and not posting it on CUK?
