The hot guy from across the corridor took me out for a coffee today (and spontaneously brought me a cup of tea while I was working- CEO wasn't in so the hot guys are OK to talk to me). He was very sweet and shy when he asked me and then went all out and took me to the posh place up the road (instead of the normal place in the bottom of our building) The weather in London was gorgeous today and I had a nice time. Except that I don't fancy him at all even though I've seen him in his pants. Maybe I should be patient and see if fancying him develops- he's friendly and considerate, but lacks verbal swordplay skills. He invited me and CEO to the launch party for his business in a few weeks time so maybe I should at least give him til then before making up my mind.
No aubergine news from H (i.e. no giving me her address for the D papers). We're seeing each other on Wednesday so if nothing's forthcoming I'll ask again then. It's a bit frustrating considering he's the one who should really want to get this out of the way, but I guess there's no huge rush for now.
Lisa I take it you are filing adultery if you need this info? Uk lawyers seem to vary so much on advice about that one, mine made it impossible for me to do but I did get to put it in my court afidavid(sp?) for all the good it did.
On a lighter note re Marias comment -have you made up the rota yet? assuming its one at a time !
((((((Lisa)))))) I would have to say that a lack of verbal sworplay skills might be pretty significant with you! So I guess hot guy in pants is out! Doesn't mean you can't have a coffee with him again. Maybe he was so busy being astounded by your wonderfulness that the cat had his tongue, and he needs another chance!
Seriously.... how are you feeling about the direction you are going? It seems to me that it is right, but it is hard to tell from here.
I think the water is getting warmer, almost up to swimming temperature.....
If only a rota were possible- there's definitely insufficient interest for me to have one of those, but I do like the idea!
naej- yes, I'm filing adultery, or I would if I could. H still hasn't passed on the aubergine information, even though we had dinner yesterday evening and he had ample opportunity. Interesting meal actually- H is (FINALLY!) standing up to his mother, who is currently trying to emotionally blackmail him into going home for the third weekend in a row (this involves a 7 hour round trip). You could have knocked me over with a feather when he told me about it. I'm really pleased for him (and it's not before time too).
mishka- (((hugs))) to you too Sweetie!
Handsome- I think the swimming is easier if you coat yourself in Vaseline. That could also be fun! I feel......happy and peaceful these days. I'm really enjoying the busy-ness of my life, the intellectual games and the singing. Sometimes it's quiet at home, and I'd feel like I'd love to share my life with the right person, but I only feel that sometimes and I think that's an OK thing. Sometimes when I see H (like yesterday) and he's "normal" I sigh for the lives that could have been, but I don't regret anything about how I've behaved, and I feel like I gave it my best shot. I've put my love for H in a box and put the lid on to compartmentalise it; it helps me a lot that we're friends and he's going to still be a part of my life. Am I making sense? And yes, lack of verbal swordplay is a big problem for me!
Speaking of which..... Sunshine K- My BFF agreed with you on the master of verbal swordplay needing to spend time with me outside work so she invited him to join us at a ball next Saturday and he's going to come along. It's not a date, but I think it qualifies as an out of work occassion? We'll see what happens in any case. There's a free bar so he said he thought we should get plastered. And his only other comment was 'Am I invited because they think we're married/together? It's not a problem, I'm just curious". I'm a bit nervous about it, but I guess it can't be any weirder that the last ball we went to
((((all)))) I'll check up on you over the next couple of days.
It's a bit of a loaded question so I stumbled over it a bit....I said that it hadn't occurred to me to ask (which was a pants answer in comparison to what K's answer would have been!). A lot of people assume we're together, I guess because they observe something in the interaction, but BFF issued the invite and she wouldn't assume (even though she's wanted us to get together from the moment I met him).
So I've been thinking a bit about the D and I've decided that if H doesn't send me the info I need by the end of this week I'll get the papers sent without naming her. D is D in the end, I suppose. Still, it's frustrating to have to think about it so much- I do think H should try and make it easy for me rather than making it a hassle. On the other hand, I guess he doesn't realise it's a pain for me to have to wait given how long it's been already. BTW, he did stand up to his Mum on Friday, although I think he found it hard. He sent me a nice message to thank me for listening to him talk about it anyway, which was sweet.
CEO sent me an e-mail at 6:20 this morning- a forward of a message he'd received but with a self-deprecating joke he'd added referring to something I'd teased him about on Friday. I'd like to think he woke up and thought of me, but no doubt he woke up and was thinking of work. I, on the other hand, woke up furious with him, having had a dream that he was flirting with an unknown girl from down the corridor. LOL!
