Any news on the red haired boy?

I talked to the boy on Monday...for a few hours...but am not in a place where I can really get my hopes up...

...The hardest thing to do is to leave these things in the hands of fate...but I don't want to come accross as being pushy or needy or anything...

He's already proven that he can call me if he wants to...now I just have to keep my fingers crossed and hope that he still wants to...

Just remember, I'm always available if you need someone tall...

He's only slightly taller than me anyway...if there wasn't so much distance between us, I'd pick you for sure !

Awww, gosh...

I mean, if he's as short as me, he certainly doesn't serve any practical purposes, does he...well...maybe one or two...

What a girly girl!

Oh don't worry...it was definitely more "lusty wench" than "girly girl" !!

OK, I can respect that!

You're my role model, ranger...I want to be you!

No you don't, trust me! But thanks for the thought!!!

Anything new in your world?

Hey, from where I am, the only way is up !!

Things are pretty good here...I have no idea what's going on with the boy, my job, my friends, or my family...but I'm trying to become comfortable with having no control over anything...which is a pretty big ask of me (I'm no control freak, but I like to have some say in the things that effect my life...)...but, in the words of the Beatles "It's getting better all the time..."

My friends situation will improve in time (mainly when my girl's Mum comes home from Italy ), my family situation will eventually get better, job's come and go, and I have other boys who are interested if red doesn't catch on soon...

...so I'm treading water at the moment and hoping for the best

And how are you dear??

I'm doing fine, thanks! Had friends visit over my weekend, had fun with them. Back to work tomorrow. And off to bed for now!

Just keep treading, dear! The tide will turn soon!

Friends are always fun...especially when you all like the same things...ahh, the mischief I've gotten up to with my friends over the years...

Well, I'd better let you go to bed then dear ! Thanks for your support, it means a lot to me...hopefully I'll catch you soon!

Ok, pretty much everyone knows what's going on now anyway, but I figured I'd better post it here...just to suitably "close" this particular journal entry...

I spent a fair proportion of the last two weeks with the boy (he lives 5 minute's walk from where I work, so we'd "do lunch", hang out after work, and then there were the weekends and everything...)

...and after two weeks (or something like it??)...it is over with...done...caput...

But you know what? It doesn't really bother me, is that weird

I mean, he's a great guy, and I do really like him, but we're so different...he's a lovely boy, but not really what I NEED, similarly, what he needs in "someone" and what I am are two completely different things...you know?

So we've decided to let it go...very amicably, I might add (I can't believe it was so genuinely amicable !!)...who knows, we may even end up being friends? I told him I'm here if he needs someone to talk to, or comapny, or anything like that...but I can't be his "girlfriend"...it was just a case of two good people getting along...but just not being the right "fit".

And the bottom line is, I don't regret it at all...I've learnt a lot about myself, and a lot about "human nature"...and he's a lovely guy...I may have even gained a friend out of it...

...and at least I know now, right? I mean, better to "lose" a couple of months over a boy and KNOW he's not "The One", rather than spend the rest of my life wondering, right?

So now everyon'es pretty much up to speed...another chapter in my life finished (I think...it's only been a couple of days...)

Thanks for listening, and lighting candles...I you all
