Lovely new client today.  I asked her what her story was - ‘why us, why now?’   she replied that so far only her hairdresser knew the score.  She then added me to her list of confidantes.  The details don’t matter but it prompted me to think on who women confide in apart from their close friends and do men confide in anybody at all?  Certainly I have a group of clients who are kind enough to wine and dine me at regular intervals so that they can tell me what they have been up to and get my reaction.  One of them is a top barrister and she saves up all her dating stories for a twice-yearly afternoon tea in town with me.  I am the only person she can tell these things to.  Maybe I should suggest her hairdresser?   I did have a client for a while who drove me bonkers with tales of his conquests and for my murmurs of approval that he had graduated into the hall of heroes.  Certainly, neither his close friends or colleagues would have imagined he was a wannabe swordsman so he had to bite his tongue about impressing them with his seductive prowess.  I notice this attitude with guys who have come to dating quite late in life and never dated much in their early years and probably married their first proper girlfriend straight from university.
