You need to learn to massage your words a bit Jeff, get your feet under the table before using phrases like “professional gambler”. I think I might have preferred “financial trader”. A lot of women would run a mile from a gambler as we all know most are just losers. I was lucky my lady absolutely loves horse racing, Uttoxeter is just down the road from us, it’s a lovely course and we often go to Cheltenham. This one is a bit interesting if she’s already been out with a gambler.
Steady as you go Jeff.

Hi Davy
Although I'd like to be a trader - and it's something I'm working towards - I am currently a gambler.
As regards massaging my words, I appreciate your advice, but I generally prefer the 'tell it like it is' approach, and call a spade a spade...
Also, I think it's best for me to be honest and open from the outset. If I'm not the right man for her for whatever reason, I'd rather it emerged now than in a month's time.
It is odd that she has known professional gamblers, given that there are so few of us about. Le Tiss - You didn't give the link of my profile to your ex, did you?

Yes I would agree with davy and would describe myself as a 'financial trader' specialising in alternative trading platform employing all tools and techniques of a conventional trade but delivering unconvetional return using very low capital but engineering a highly leveraged product which is bought at low and sold at high normally within seconds and definately not keeping position open for more than 10 minutes.
Though I suspect that 'professional gambler' might sound a bit more adventurous, at least to some anyway.

Hi Photon
The problem with that approach, apart from the fact that I'm not a trader, is that the young lady might think 'A financial trader? Living in Preston? This guy's yet another liar who's feeding me a line so he can get his leg over!'.

You said she seemed charming, so no it's not the same girl!
I agree with others though, don't call yourself a gambler. Women like stablilty more than men, so getting involved with a bloke that gambles all day will put some off. Don't call yourself a layer either - this makes you sound like Russell Brand

LOL!
Re: Calling myself a gambler - I used to be a copywriter, so I am familiar with the art of painting things in the most positive light!
It's amazing what you can get away with without actually telling a lie! I'd often have to write voiceovers for firms I knew literally nothing about, so I'd write stuff like 'For a look that radiates style and individuality and makes you look and feel fantastic, visit Joe's Salon today', when, for all I knew, the salon was some poky hole in the wall!
But I digress!
In this instance, I'm not trying to sell anything, so there's no need for me to duck and dive. If the young lady can accept me as I am, then great. If she can't, then it's not meant to be, and I'd rather know that at this stage of proceedings.
