Update - hopefully will bring a smile to your face
H came to try and find the possum living in my ceiling last night. I cooked a nice dinner, but made sure it wasnt romantic as I dont want to be pursuing. The dinner was nice, but no physical contact, no 'spark'. I may have put H off by casually mentioing that the bottle of wine we were drinking was given to me by another man, and that it was sweet because the wine's name is my name.... But H was very unshaven (if he wants kissing action he will get a much better response by shaving!) so maybe his distance had nothing to do with the wine.
Anyway H climbed up on roof and almost slipped off - I think both our hearts stopped beating. H had to have cigarette to calm down- first time he smoked in front of me. Pre-bomb he suddenly started smoking (rebellious teen?) but in 'secret' - of course I could smell it though!
I made 2 very casual comments about how he could stay if he wanted to. But they were pretty subtle. If H had wanted to he could have picked up on it. So I made sure I didnt pursue any futher. He sent me a text after he left thanking me for dinner and a 'mwha' on the end of the text. About 1/2 an hour after H left I heard the possum again - so H's attempt didnt work and he will have to come back again!
So this morning we had the following text conversation:
E: Thanks for trying to catch the possum! I had a good time with you. If I was more witty I would think of something cheeky to say about my possum and your drill ha ha!
H: Yeah drilling the possum would be satisfying for everyone and we would all sleep better
E: Ha ha! Your funny. I like it!
H: What..... a drilling?
E: ha ha I like your sense of humour. My possum is scared and hiding from your drill but could possibly be bribed out with presents, treats and gentle handling. Emphasis on possibly! It is a pretty impressive drill u have!
H: Ha Ha it could be better, more use might help he he
