Manchester - take 2

I've been to Manchester before and to be honest that didn't turn out very well. I was stood up as it were, left for all to see and had to find accomodation as well. Luckily today I go for just one day but I'm still nervous. I always am. I'm scared it might happen again, or I'll go and make a right idiot of myself.

I wish I could do the whole getting to know people better. Is it me? If this ends badly, is it my fault? Something I do? Something I've done? If I'm too extreme, people disappear. If I cut back, they think I'm not interested. I can't seem to get the right balance.

So wish me luck, cause I'm on my way... again...
