Thanks for the reply and good advice. Im assuming they were rhetorical questions but I shall address your points anyway
1) I did it because I dont want her to get ideas in her head, I figured once she decided she wanted a relationship it would be hard to transform her into fuck buddy (I dont want to sleep with a load of women, I want a lot of buddys

). I just mentioned it in passing (after I knew I couldnt overcome LMR) then a while later talked about being buddys. What is your opinion on this? Should I have just left it out? Also lovely line about the shoes! You have me laughing so HBs must love it
2)Yep. I could explain why I felt I needed to say it, but truth is I wont do it again.
3) I actually dont like the email thing (as Im posting about it here you can see its not my strong point) but its the only way I have to comunicate while Im working 2-3 weeks at a time. Reading your post, I realise when I do text I never say anything funny, need to work on this. Any ideas??? What do I do on day 2s... I DONT KNOW lol. I havent had many despite getting my end away regularly. I have done the cooking thing and bowling, but never really connected with any girl while sober. Maybe this is my main problem? Did I just have a moment of clarity? Do I have to drink constantly through life so that women arent repelled by my existance? Anyone for pub?
