A new crossroad reached

Bright, thank you for such a sweet post! Things just keep moving along....

Last Saturday I took S to drop off with H. S brought his swim trunks and told H he wanted to go swim at papa's. He is loving swimming this summer! H was ecstatic and said sure, then asked if I wanted to come. I told him I couldn't, that friends were showing up soon and we were all going to a play downtown. As I drove away, I felt like I sensed a little bit of hurt feelings from H. Maybe it's time to start inviting him to things like this.... later that night he TM that he got the time off to join us at la casa en el mar

I went to the play that night and had a great time, but stayed up way too late. I was really tired on Sunday, but we decided to meet up for the movie S wanted to see. I struggled to stay awake and made it! Lol. I took S home with me after and H said he would come by later to bring dog home, which he did. The vibe between us remains very friendly and relaxed.

Monday morning he TM that he had an early morning meeting on Friday and asked if ok to bring S home Thursday night after dinner, unless I wanted to meet up for dinner? I told him I would love dinner, that I could meet up after a quick work mixer at a local winery.

He replied great, then added the weekend couldn't come soon enough, and that he bought a bunch of beach toys for our trip.

We continue text exchange daily, all through the week, along with a countdown towards vacation.

Thursday night came and H chose to meet at our all-time favorite place we always used to go to. We met up and had a great dinner, along with S, and we all talked and talked and eventually were almost the last people there. It got late really fast!

Friday at 5 I sent him a TM of a happy vacation! He replied with a big finally followed with about 20 different emoji's of food, drinks and beach stuff.

At 9:00 this morning he TM asking what time we leave tomorrow and what food to bring. Lol. I think he is more excited than me! We decided to go shop together before leaving.

Overall, our communication remains light and fun. I like this H! We are getting along well and I have a feeling we will have a good time. I am keeping my expectations at fun only and hope for our friendship to continue to grow. So far no real sparks between us, more of a safe comfortable feeling. I am enjoying that after these last few years and feel no need to push, rush or even try to figure out what is happening. I feel a great peace that things are playing out the way they should, whatever that may be.

Now, to get myself moving because I have a lot to get done before leaving and feel very lazy! Wishing you all well.
