Stare? Lol. Oh you mean check me out with one eye and standard looking at me with the other? Gotcha.

Well... I'll keep my hands next to my face, so then you'll make eye contact.

Haha, yes, I know. You look 10 times more amazing then that monkey.

What is your obsession with my hands? :twitch: I should've bought some special hand lotion stuff to make them shine.

Keep using that monkey and I'll burst out of your screen and kiss you.

It's been freezing all week! My hands are actually cold right now.

Please, don't tempt me! I'll end up bringing a favourite book of mine on the subject and it will go from being a date to a... lesson!

Warm? Lucky. It's freezing in here! Last night, when I logged off, I was still fully clothed with my coat on.

Well then that's great, your instincts are sharp! :thumb:

Of course it was useful! I would tell you about colour codes and other stuff but... maybe later in our relationship, lol.

Okay here is my "be safe!" rant.

It all starts with awareness. It's hard for Ni dominant people to be aware of their surroundings but really try to tap into your Se or even Ti, just see everything as impersonal data. Focus on concrete details and just be aware of your surroundings. If you can't see something coming, you've failed already. So having said that, this is the common mistakes people make and how NOT to do them:

Don't listen to music when you are walking and on the tube thingy. Save it for when you are sat down on the train.

Always listen to your instincts/gut feeling. Your brain will tell you if there is danger by releasing adrenaline into your bloodstream, it is telling you there something wrong. Don't ignore these feelings! Most victims of attack always report how they "had a bad feeling" about a something (adrenaline/anxiety) but they ignored it. Don't be afraid to cross the street, turn around or pretend to talk to someone on the phone if you don't like something ahead.

Try to "look" confident when you walk around (head up, make eye contact, walk fast and with a purpose) You are making yourself a "hard target". This makes you a significantly less selectable target because you don't look "easy"

Don't take dodgy short cuts even if you're running late. Really obvious this one but many people think that self protection is about feeling confident walking through a dark place. If you were taught properly, you wouldn't walk through bad looking places in the first place.

Doing these basic things and being aware of your environment will just put you miles ahead of most people, in terms of staying out of trouble. You don't have to be paranoid, just keep it in the back of your mind, that way you can still enjoy your life and not feel like ninja's are gonna jump out every second (I had a problem with this when I first started)

Too late. Lol :tea:

I'm dying for another coffee! I mean, one more wouldn't do any harm, would it? :boink:

Ah, I was gonna write a list of things to do to stay safe but it sounds really bad and I'll probably put you off coming here!

Haha!

I swear, we are the same! I'm only drinking one coffee as well! I got a printed list of all my things, gonna fold them all up, all placed strategically for maximum efficiency between my bedroom, the bathroom and the kitchen. So, my clothes, will be folded outside the door, shoes next to the bed, all toiletries lined up, coat downstairs... :suspicious:

I gotta get up at 5:30 too. It's horrible! I'll go to sleep at 10. I could wake up at 6 but I'm gonna give myself more time otherwise I'll panic if I've left before I've checked everything 101 times.

:becky:!

What time are you going to bed tonight?

Haha

I have to say, that tombstone, that was brilliant! I LOL'd for real.

See you (for real)....... tomorrow!

Words like: sex, sexy, hot, risqu

Haha! You said sexual positions. I'M not gonna sleep tonight. Don't worry, I'll wash all the sheets. Twice over.

Haha. He's such a goon. That's his classic: "You're busy but I'm gonna annoy you anyway" position. He even does sexual positions sometimes. It's violating.
