Well done, Annie. First post for the first time - that's eluded me forever.
Re: boys and girls in BB. Haven't a clue about what has been going on in BB - only enjoy reading the snippets you all bring over from time to time - some more than others LOL.
But a story from daughter who, as you know, has just started uni.
She has been making loads of friends, mostly guys, because as I said she gets on much better with them because she knows where she is with them, even if she doesn't always like the knowing.
Yesterday she told me a story about a guy at uni: her initial comment - he's being such a girl and I'm being such a guy

He was just one of a crowd of people she's friends with but he obviously liked her but she didn't encourage him. He wanted her to go out with him one evening but she'd already arranged to meet up with a couple and have a quiet evening watching a DVD with them and wanted to continue not encouraging him. He immediately assumed she was lying and was going out with another guy, went out, got drunk, kissed another girl, texted her endlessly through the night, saying he was sorry, he hadn't meant to do it etc etc. And she is, like
And now other guys who she's become friends with in this crowd - just mate friends - are saying she's being unfaithful to him - even though she WAS watching a DVD with a couple - a girl and a guy - and a relationship wasn't even a twinkle in her eye or even planned to be. Oh, the dramas, the dramas. He was texting her saying how sorry he was that he'd messed things up, blah, blah, blah.
Sorry for filling up post space with this but after reading about BB in the night, I thought this was interesting. The stereotypes are breaking down and have been for a long time. Or maybe it just goes to prove that there really are no stereotypical guys and gals - they are just individual human beings with their own wants and needs, their own perspectives on life, their own ways of dealing with life's challenges.

As someone whose daughter also started at uni this term, its an odd sensation isnt it?
And arent the interactions between girls and boys fascinating........ I am pretty impressed by the boy who likes your daughter though. He went out and got drunk and kissed someone else......yet somehow has managed to make it look to everyone else as if she is in the wrong.
wow..... do you think they might actually get together at some point, or has this drama put your daughter off him completely?
My little one is having to cope with the difficulties of a long distant relationship..... and the fact that she gets jealous and tied up in knots when her boyfriend is friendly with other girls.
Despite the fact that the pair of them are actually much more sociable and outgoing than a lot of their friends. this is where the idea of having mates who are guys and mates who are girls, gets so complex!!!
who knows what is going to happen next?




You gave up going back to bed then Joyce?
