Timing
Cow thinks it's sad the way shy men and women aren't on the same schedule.
Shy female flirts with shy male, who, being shy and somewhat lacking in self-esteem, doesn't respond. Shy female goes off feeling rejected.
Shy guy thinks about it for a few weeks or so, then decides: Hey, I think she likes me! And calls her.
Shy girl, having convinced herself she made a fool of herself by flirting, is businesslike and dismissive. Guy hangs up feeling that she is just a tease, or made a fool of him...
Thus, life is all in the timing. At least for humans.
As for Topiary of course, their timing is ALWAYS impeccable, just as their Topiary is always perfectly trimmed and stylish.
Moo!

Again, I can relate to this...
did Cow meet a Bull?
Ah how sad! I don't think a woman ever makes a fool of herself by flirting, even if she is 90 years old. Nor does a man, unless he is accused of sexual harassment.
And this is why opposites attract.
Parp!
Apparently he wasn't the right type of topiary.
heh. no kidding.
Ms. Mud: Alas, the entire tale is told on these pages.
GB: 'Tis great to hear the view from the Congo as always (Cow now feeling much less foolish)
Ultra: So true. Only when one person is filled with self-confidence can there be a future for two.
Daisy: Yes. Apparently. Perhaps he was in need of a Topiary Makeover.
Ah yes...
Dear Topiary, well I suppose very shy men are special - and hard to get to go out with.Hope it works out sometime, though, love scones x
