Please don't feed the rhinos

I'm looking to take the 5:20 today so I can avoid the wet rhino from yesterday.

I've outed myself to three people on that train. Jill (not her real name), Charlotte (not her real name) and Gary, who *wants* me to use his real name. He was so excited when he emailed me telling me he had "figured me out". Thing is, I don't know who Gary is so I don't know what to expect. Is he going to jump me? Tackle me? Buy me flowers?

Jill was equally clever.

This tells me I need to keep my mouth shut.

I expect you all to come sit with me.

No I don't.

    I promise to avoid you entirely except for the times I give you a knowing smile.

    "Knowing" is a hard smile to pull off... to often it comes out as "creepy and disturbing"

    I meant "too", not "to". Typo, not grammer ignorance.

    As long as the Rhino doesn't figure you out!

    And Gary, that is creepy. Just go up and say hi and carry on.

    Gary, go with the 'knowing smile', or perhaps even the more-powerful 'knowing wink' -- but whatever you do, don't offer her squash ...

    Top date tip: if you're on a date eating soup, never offer them a roll.
