The Dame and Beatrice are finally making progress it would appear.
It's a fact of life....too many people spend too long a time fretting over the details of the future of their currently 'non existent' romantic relationship. Why?
a) in order to assess the situation fully before committing time and energy
b)so that they don't look like a fool and are totally sure of the other person's feelings before jumping them in the corridor
c)because we all suffer from insecurities and it's easier to do nothing and risk losing what may have been rather than suffer heartbreak once again
All of these reasons are valid of course. But then, I wonder, whatever happened to guts and that instinct that things are going well. What if you bit the bullet. What if you took that plunge. What's the worst that could possibly happen? They say no and you remain friends? Isn't this reality worth an ounce of gumshan? For when we ask 'what if?' we're often left wondering 'what if'...and that's one of the worst feelings in the world. The feeling of watching the wave slip away from beneath your feet.
So, after debating this long and hard with herself and her friends The Dame took the plunge and thins appear to have paid off. You see, we have a kiss on the tables. A prospective kiss the next time her and Beatrice meet.
Sometimes the confidence that we display is enough even to surprise us.
And, as a peripheral point, The Dame, in her lack of confidence beforehand has clearly gone against the rules of our revolution. Shame on her.

Things between Beatrice and I do appear to be going rather well. Due to my past history, with what I am told is the fairer sex, I am not being to hasty however.
I have always been one to say 'I will never mix business and pleasure' because quite frankly my job means a lot to me and I have worked hard to get where I am. Then I met her. There is no denying the fact that there is a spark between us. Indeed, several other people who do not know about my fledging homosexuality (but do know about hers) have commented to me that we get on extremely well.
Yes, I have whirled the debate around my head many a time since meeting her. Work, she is very well liked at work, very good friend of flatmate... Should I give it a go and perhaps have the adventure I've been waiting for? Or, should I walk away from her in favour of my morals just in case it happens to go wrong and upset my working environment? A few factors swung it for me; (a) Beatrice is soon to be of a higher ranking than me in our line of work, and she works in a different department to me (although our paths do cross frequently). I do not work directly along side her however (although I will for a month at the end of the year). And (b) I like her. She is a genuinely nice person. I have overheard someone talking about Beatrice and her ex and heard this person say that Beatrice was the best thing that ever happened to the ex.
Beatrice lightens my mood. She makes me laugh and we can have a good conversation. She likes to do the crossword and we can easily spend a whole day lying in the sun on a green space in work town talking and laughing. We text most days and I generally look forward to seeing her. When informing her of my dire luck with relationships she told me that my luck had changed and I should take a chance on her because she thinks she'd be worth it.
She text me the other day asking if I wanted a bit of romance in my life that evening and would I let her take me out to dinner. Dinner was lovely, as was the walk back to mine through the park. I wanted to kiss her but couldnt find the courage. One text message solved the problem however and she replied saying she had wanted to kiss me too and next time ;-).
I look forward to the times where we can get to know each other in such an intimate way such as kissing and touching. I want to know more about her and likewise. Id like us to share a bed and talk about the world all night before hands wander. I suspect this time is not far away.
And what happens if it goes wrong so close to work? Well, I can say I have tried. Should it go right however, I think I can safely say (to quote a man I respect a lot) in the face of temptation Beatrice would be one to turn and say 'actually, no, I love The Dame'.
-The Dame-
