Hi BND,

Thanks for popping in and your encouraging words.

I met my GF this afternoon and we went for our "usual" walk on the water front and then to the restaurant for a drink outdoors. It was a lovely and warm day.

In the evening she didn't want to join me to go to a jazz concert. So I went on my own. I didn't like the band. On the way to the place I passed a small cafe where they also had jazz. So I returned and listened to the music. A few minutes later two guys sat next to me and one of them started to chat to me. He lives at the other end of the country and is in the area for an exhibition. He asked me where one can go out in the town we were in. I told him that there will be another blues concert in a certain place tomorrow. I knew about it because I would go. So he said that we might meet again tomorrow. In the end he gave me his business card.

It made me feel good that he would have liked to get to know me although it is not likely that I will ever meet him again. I noticed that I am less shy these days and can talk in a more relaxed way to men these days. Just when men start flirting with me I am still a bit shy.
