No polish

I hate to spray my ignorance all over your comments section but what, in God’s name, is nettle soup? I suppose it’s self-explanatory. I’d have thought someone were pulling my leg.

Such vivid descriptions. No photos? Shame.

So is that a “no?” She’s not going to meet you? You never can tell about these things.

@unbearable banishment – it wasn’t quite a “no". more like a “i’m not going to put out for you, but i’m leaving the door open should you care to feed my ego by continuing pursuit. assuages my guilt about ‘leading you on’, while giving you the opportunity to humiliate yourself a bit while feeding my insecurities".

Nettle soup: soup made of nettles :) Here’s the recipe we used and readers’ comments about their several uses.

Thanks DF - that’s very accurate. I would be an idiot to pursue this. I recognise this type. Vicky is like it too. Nope - she’s been deleted, gone.

Nettle Soup: One of the main reasons I’m staying carnivorous (Supposedly omniverous, which means in my lexicon, carniverous plus potatoes and the very occasional tomato)

Isn’t racial humour just f*cking awful?
Just proves the English don’t have a real a sense of humour.

Pity about the froggie, but the stench of garlic and the remnants of frog legs between her teeth would probably have been a bit off-putting.

as I said on previous post……. are you sure ’she’ is all she says she is……… doesn’t sound like any french woman I’ve ever met….!!

Well-educated, trilingual, good dress sense, into arthouse films… sounded fairly French to me! Or a good liar. But you can’t start out by disbelieving people. Anyway, she’s out of my life now.

She’s definitely the genuine article. I have a friend who lived in Paris for years, and often experienced that kind of ‘frankness’ from the natives. She was once informed after a first date that the relationship would be terminated here, because she ‘had good arms, but did not look particularly toned in the abdomen.’

“I reckon we would have a right giggle but it wouldn’t go further for me I’m afraid.”

That doesn’t sound French at all

KK: Welcome (back)! What a strangely precise way to be rejected.

Nursey: Hmmm… very colloquial Manchester French, I agree.

Sorry to swim against the flow, but why is everyone getting their knickers in a twist about whether she’s French? Also, I think she’s being pretty fair by stating her position vis a vis romance at the start - much less of a blow to the ego to be rejected after a photo than after an entire date.
