Lisa you sound great. How I wish I could pop over and we could discuss CEO, your H, Hairy Guy, Big Ears, and my stupid confusing H. Cool that H asked you out next week.
Are you going to buy H a Xmas present this year? xxxx
I love that you are seeing different behavior from your H. Don't be annoyed with me for being the eternal optimist, but I have a really good feeling about this! Do you think that maybe when you cried in front of him the other day this triggered something? Maybe he felt that he had something to give, i.e. to comfort you? All speculation of course, but the fact that he is texting you on the weekend seems very positive to me.
You have been so strong and positive, that I would be SHOCKED if he didn't come to his senses.
Keep us posted!

((((breton)))) Welcome to my thread! Thankyou for posting and for the great reminder about leaving early. I will!
Purr- how are you? I've missed you and was thinking about you the other day. Do you have a thread open? I need to catch up if so. Thank you SO MUCH for posting to me and thinking of me. Yes, H, CEO and I are in a limboland of sorts- CEO probably less than H, who is less than me. I think it's fine for now- evetually I'll make a decision on what to do but I'm not sorried about pushing it for now.
Julia, ITH- you guys are both very optimistic, always nice to see- thankyou! I'm maybe not quite as optimistic myself- I've had lots of baby steps from H before and they never went anywhere, so I'm continuing my whole no expectations thing and largely ignoring them. It's like walking a tightrope trying to keep my heart open to him and letting it move on to pastures new.
ITH- I'm not sure if me crying in front of him made him feel he has something to offer me. Perhaps.....although thinking about it, being vulnerable has had mixed results throughout the S so it might not be that. I actually think the change in H is more likely because I'm no longer bothered about trying things on him and monitoring results- he can probably sense that on some level I'm moving on. WAS- always respond to the LBS not caring!
Essie- I think I will have to get H a Christmas present this year. He told me on Friday that he's got me a present (which is sweet and thoughtful). That presents me with a bit of a dilemma though. Last year I got him an iPod. He got me a poker set and a cookbook. I'm definitely not spending iPod money this year but don't want to be cheap either. I need to start thinking about what might be suitable. I would LOVE to be able to discuss my bizarre dating life, and your confusing H, BTW. I FB'd you....
So, I'm just back from the shops. Spent probably too much money, but I got a couple of sparkly tops to wear on the Xmas pub trips with work and H. I also got this red dress to replace the last one I bought (which didn't quite fit so had to go back). It's a bit saucy on- I hope it makes CEO's and any man within a 50 metre radius's pants explode!
LOL Sunshine! I just meant that there was an inequality in the gifts- mine was directed at something he needed (his had broken, and he loves music to help him relax and smile). His gift to me was (I felt), a bit impersonal.
How are you? Sounds like you had a busy day yesterday. I need to post a reply on your thread.
What a lovely dress, Lisa mou! Poor CEO and his poor, poor pants .
(((hugs)))

Hey Lisa! Wow.. things have really changed with your H again, after that period of NC..! I will post more, but must get to bed.. but.. that dress is lovely, but I would look like a boy in it, lucky you that you can wear stuff like that!
Glad you got a new thread, we missed you Al xxx
