Well, it was a good break. Really good fun with my old pals.
I had a lot of time to digest and think about what happened but I was really careful not to over think, as I have a tendency to do. I am being positive as Jeff suggested and looking at this as hopefully a fresh start, a new relationship - not in the romantic sense but hopefully a friendship will start to happen and the reticent bs and eggshells can be thrown out. It will be relief to let go of that baggage!
Naej, you were right that my brain was in overdrive! I had such a fantastic time that I also forgot about it a lot too which did me good.
He sent me a text that evening saying
"Hi, I just wanted to say that it was really nice to talk earlier and I'm really glad that we both think that we can still be friends despite everything I’ve done. Like I said I think I would find it very sad if we stopped speaking to each other or meeting up and stuff. Anyway I hope you have a nice trip. H"
I replied the next day saying
"me too :). Have fun at (a theme park he was going to)."
My brother told me today that he had seen H at the station the other day and had not stopped and talked to him. He observed that
"his trousers were too short, he was very big and looked real tired"
Hmmm... So we shall have to see what happens next. I texted H this morning about whether there had been any more viewings and asked if he had been affected by the protests going on this week. He replied saying there had been a few viewings and that he wasn't affected. He then asked how my weekend away was. I replied a few hours later telling him a little about it.
I'm not really sure how to progress now. Do I encourage us to meet more regularly? Do I leave things to progress naturally?
