Yes - you are right. And he has been messaging me. Not as full on as some of the others have been but he is definitely interested. I get the impression that he is stand offish (like me) and doesn't want to come on too strong. So we have chatted about the meteor shower (last night) and also about fans (I had recommended the dyson one and he mentioned he's not been able to find anywhere where it's in stock). He did say that it's a pity I am off to Croatia (tomorrow) and will be gone for a week but he has scheduled a meet up on the day I get back.
I have so far been really honest (about my kids, about my age, about the fact that I don't have a lot of spare time) and he hasn't run. So I guess that's good. I just need to take it as it comes I guess and not overthink.
In other news ... I am flying out tomorrow morning and have loads planned for the weekend (hiking in national parks, taking an island hopping tour, exploring caves) and I am really excited. During the day I'll still need to work but I'll have the evenings and the weekends. In true virtual travel buddy style, I will keep you and yail posted. If only we could post pictures ...
Yail - Haven't scheduled second tattoo yet. It's on the cards for September as need to get through all the holidays first (tattoos apparently do not like being in the sun or soaking in beaches/pools).
Alison - I forgot to respond to your message about having two massive tattoos !!!! I think we get images in our head (which probably don't have any bearing on reality) and your post forced me to rethink that mental image. My image of you has always been of someone warm and articulate and very capable but also soccer mom like. That soccer mum image is now gone and there is definite less 'pastel and beige' (not that there is anything wrong with that - I wear a lot of pastel and beige). Although you were always prone to favoring red lipstick in my mental image.
