Rogin, as a successful customer of internet dating I feel I should tell you to cool your jets a bit.

I had a million dates with girls who seemed fantastic over email, but were nothing special in the flesh.

Your best tactic would be to have a few options open, it makes you come across a bit better (or it should do).

...And failing that, have a word with Reed about that Rohypnol he's describing, there.

Is this the girl you're chasing?

He did not look 'young for his age'

I'm glad she replied. As a rule of thumb for the future I'd say that if she hasn't updated Facebook then she hasn't been online.

I could have written your original post myself. I keep getting people asking about my courses, and then not responding no matter how often I check my email. These women have no idea what they do to us.

Have we ever done a 'which way does the gentleman dress' thread?

I don't really know what that means.

It's the genteel way that tailors ask you to which side your goods hang.

I don't have much experience with tailors, but in the few times I have been to a tailor, I don't recall them asking that. There should be plenty of room in every direction, I'd think.

Spookily, "You can't touch this" is often exactly what I find myself having to say.

(Not really, I've never been to a tailor.)

I had a tailored suit for my wedding, a place just off London Wall by Moorgate, I was measured by a young eastern european woman.

My biggest fear when "grooming" a lady on the interweb was that some other bugger would muscle in and soil my patch, so to speak.

My second biggest fear was appearing too pushy.

Gawd.

Update...

The MRI found "no evidence of pituitary mass."

However, the radiologist writes in the report that he saw a "6 mm focus of intense mass like enhnancement along the medial aspect of the left temporal lobe to the left of the upper pons. Would recommend three axis post-contrast magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic resonance arteriogram to aid in evaluation for a solid mass or aneurysm.

Also, there are "few tiny foci of abnormal white matter signal within the frontal lobes. These could be small areas of gliosis. Differential includes minimal microvascular ischemic changes or demyelination."

I don't know what any of that means, but it doesn't sound good. I'll talk to my psychiatrist tomorrow and my regular internist next week.

Ooh crikey. Words like tiny and minimal must be good though? I really hope everything's OK.

Not always Lyra, not always...

Seriously though Reed, Good Luck with the results of the scans. Hope all is well in the end.

Thanks.

It's probably no worry. I was actually hoping they'd find a pituitary adenoma, because then the way forward would be relatively clear.

I blame those small areas of focal white matter for our disappointing 6th place finish in the pub quiz last Tuesday. I answered Otto Graham instead of Bernie Kosar, for example.

I don't know what any of that means,

Given your field of expertise, I suspect you do.

But to dummy it down for you, it's one of two things: a leftover alien probe, or your unborn twin.

Either way, and as always, you have my best wishes.

Not sure how big an error that was Reed, never having heard of them, but fingers crossed for ya.

I had to look it up but couldn't find anything too helpful. I don't know if it's something to worry about or not.
