I seem to have started an illicit affair…

But before Claire starts shouting, it’s all in a good cause!

A mate of mine (Pixie) has joined a dating agency. He’s a little shy, and unsure when it comes to women, so I’ve been helping him.

I wrote his profile for use on the dating site:

My favourite animal is the tiger.
I come across as shy at first, but look a little deeper you’ll see the real me.
I am fun loving, and believe that given the opportunity I could catch a monkey.
I have been saving myself for the ideal woman, maybe it’s time to do something about that, could you be my first?

On the back of this, Pixie was emailed by a girl living a few miles away, there have been a few flirting emails back and forward … but Pixie is still a little shy, and doesn’t know what to write … so I’ve ended up writing him some draft emails, which he’s sending unaltered.

As the only contact with this girl so far is by email … she’s pretty much having the relationship with me..

I’ve been trying to ween Pixie off my emails and getting him to write his own, but so far it isn’t happening. We’re trying to arrange for him to meet the girl next week … I suspect some romantic comedy scenario involving earpieces, hidden microphones, and me hiding in bushes is going to ensue!

Note: To protect the innocent, the names in this blog have been changed. Unfortunately for the real Pixie it was changed to “Pixie” 😀

I should stress that this email ISN’T about Pixie
