After quite some time of being out of relationships and getting pretty much nothing by way of decent attention from men, it has all come along at once...
After the hilarious, disastrous date; there was the second date with 'South Africa'. We started chatting waaaay back in November, just before I went to Australia. As we got closer to Christmas, and to the stage at which we were going to meet, he told me he'd met someone blah blah blah so I did what any sensible girl does and deleted him from facebook. Which is why I was very surprised to find a message from him when I got home from Lanzarote. I was a bit unsure as to whether he intended our first meeting to be a date or a business meeting (he contacted me saying that he wanted to start up a business in the clothing industry and needed some advice). After a bit more conversation, I figured that it was definitely a date and that his business plan was just a way of getting conversation started again.
Back to the point. Saturday night was disastrous date, Sunday was a day with South Africa. We get on pretty well and I really enjoy spending time with him so have carried on seeing him. It does seem to be flying into 'relationship' status though which is a little bit scary. Whilst at his with his best mate, he referred to me as his girlfriend. I let it pass (don't want to appear crazy), but having been single for such a long time, the idea of actually being someone's girlfriend is a little bit daunting. It also doesn't help that whilst the guy is attractive and we have fun together (lot's of fun!), I still have 'sailor boy' in the back of my mind. There was just something about the very small amount of time we spent together that has kept me thinking about him. To me, this just shows that even though I have a great time with 'South Africa', I don't want to be his girlfriend. There is something missing that means that I don't want a relationship with him. Mum reckons that maybe I need to get to know him better before I make any decisions and that I shouldn't let 'sailor boy' affect the decision I make.
But the story doesn't end there... It was my birthday on Monday (thanks for all the messages!) and on Friday night I went out celebrating with the holiday girls. We had a great night oggling the band in uniform in Annabels and also had a few of our much loved 'confession times'. This led to me sending sailor boy a would be drunken message at some stupid hour of the morning to let him know I would be in London over the weekend. As expected, I had no reply despite checking my phone every 30 seconds whilst in London 'just in case'. I wasn't expecting to hear back at all which is why, when I checked fb on my phone for the last time before I went to the land of nod last night and saw the 1 new message sign, the last person I was expecting it to be from was 'sailor boy'. But there it was. 1 new message from sailor boy. Not only that but the response was very positive. I'll be back in London in a few weeks time for work and possibly even the week before for the Vintage festival so watch this space.
In the meantime, I'm going to have to be very careful with South Africa who, having only known me for a few weeks, got me a birthday present and calls and texts frequently... eeek!! gonna have to back this one up a bit and any advice on how the kindest way to do this is would be very much appreciated!!
