Life is good

Well despite the credit crunch, all the worlds problems I reckon my life is going well at present, in fact I'm starting to wonder when something will go wrong.

Just got back from another weekend away with my friend Jane, once again we got on fantastic, I'm finding her too good to be true at times. She seems happy to go along with my suggestions where to go, what do, where to eat, etc. In fact she is always trying to find ways to please me, even went to the effort to buy herself a Leeds shirt, what more can a man ask.

We spent our weekend in Shakespears country Stratford upon Avon, our hotel was nice & we had a lovely romantic meal on the first night. Saturday we took a boat trip up the river which was nice, here is a pic of Jane waiting for the boat.

We spent the rest of the time visiting a few of the old town houses from Shakespears day, it was certainly an education. On the evenings we dined out then just visited a few old world style pubs.

I must admit I'm really looking forward to a few longer breaks with Jane, its difficult only meeting every 5 weeks because of the distance we live apart but maybe thats why I enjoy here company so much. Saying that I'm hopeful even optimistic that our relationship will blossom more and more.

I'm after suggestions from some of my lady friends who read this of good places or things to do that you reckon Jane may enjoy because as I said earlier she just goes along with what I like all the time and I would like to find something for her.

Other than that other things are going well especially in my sports escapades, in the local league Table Tennis I'm having my best season for many years. My average as declined from been a 90% player about 10 years ago to just over 70% last season. I suppose I'm not getting younger is the biggest reason however I've had a great run this time and am back up in the high eighties a marked improvement.

I'm also going well at Pool I'm in the last eight of the area singles although I'm not expecting to go much further as I don't play enough and there are a lot of good players in it. I'll give it my best shot though and "who knows ?", my 1/4 final is on Wednesday night.

Ok I said life was good not perfect I'm afraid to admit I aint been doing great of the weight loss, not been eating perfect and giving away to temptation too much. Must get myself back on track though would like to drop at least a belt size before my main holiday in just over 15 weeks.

Sound like love is in the air!!

She may like the theatre,plays,musicals etc.Browsing around the shops or markets maybe, I don't think I know any woman that dosn't like that.

Why don't you ask her what she likes doing? Tell her that you want her to suggest what you do next.
Some women like a man who makes the choices and take the initative all the time. But she could also be afraid/not sure enough of herself to say what she wants for some reason. You'll have to delve deeper :o)

Thanks for the input.

Celtic,
She does like theatre and I've already promised to try it (probably on holiday I suspect).

Cactus,
I have asked but she seems happy with me taking the lead and going along with my suggestions. However I think its only fair that I find out more about what she wants and make an effort to do it.

Glad to hear youre still getting on well with Jane :)
You will have to take her to see Leeds Utd to christen that shirt! Ok I know its not romantic in the normal sense of the word, but I went to Elland Rd for my wedding anniversary a couple of years ago. Is my husband lucky or what?? :)
