@shakeourtree Glad you met someone new who seems like a good fit! It’s always exciting to meet someone new and it’s like BAM chemistry. I feel like that doesn’t happen to me super often is it’s so awesome when it does.
Nothing new over here, dude cooked me a very cute dinner the other night and things are mellow and happy 🙂 Going to my friend’s bday party together tomorrow and I’m busy with last minute shopping for Inca Trail gear.
Have a good weekend guys!
So Austria was pretty cool. The weather was indeed crap the whole time but we still had a good time. It was actually snowing the day we went up the mountain, I declined walking the 20 minutes to the summit in the freezing weather. But we had these tourists cards that got us there and into a lot of other places that were really worth it. And I got to have a little hike on my last day, and met this lovely old Austrian couple along the way that had the most amazing life.
We got into a row though, at dinner on the boyfriend’s birthday… He wanted to talk to me about the worries he has about his other flat (he owns) and I thought he was typically worrying unnecessarily. I said something kind of flippant and it kind of soured the meal. I guess I should probably talk to him some more about it, I reckon now he thinks he can’t talk to me about these things.
@Nookie Oh man I hate when that happens. When you say something and it’s not a huge thing but it just throws everything off for the whole night and there’s no way to take it back. Glad that it was a good trip otherwise, though!
I met up with a guy I’ve “known” since junior high last night. We were really close friends when we were in junior high, but only over the phone – we didn’t meet in person until we were 15. But we would talk for an hour or two almost every day for a couple of years. Then we met, and kissed, and then things got awkward, and we mostly lost touch. I haven’t talked to him in 3 years, and haven’t seen him in something like 7. So we met up and caught up and basically just started getting to know each other, and ended up having a bunch of really nice makeouts.
10/10 – would do again. Feeling kind of twitterpated now. Significantly more confident in my ability to avoid it getting weird again.
Ah I talked to him about it last night, we seem cool on that front now. It was a shame and I felt bad about my flippant comment but at least he knows that now. And he told me some more about his worries, apparently the freeholders have done some seriously dodgy stuff in the past… between them and the tenants not paying their rent on time, it causes a lot of stress.
Phew, that sounds totally cute with your old ‘flame’! It’s amazing that the chemistry is still there, I guess sometimes it never goes away. Are you going to see how it goes? I remember reading you were looking for someone to just be a physical relationship with you.
@Nookie I’m glad you were able to talk through it! That does sound like a stressful situation.
I definitely want to see where it goes. We’ll see how he feels. There was definite chemistry and enjoyment on both sides, but apparently it’s been a really long time since he was that physically intimate with anyone (like 5 years) and so I was checking in with him a lot to make sure he was okay, but he was still a little freaked out, I think? We stopped short of actually having sex, though he still spent the night. I’d definitely like to continue exploring it, but I’m trying to balance making that clear with making it clear that there’s no pressure and we can also just be friends if it’s more comfortable.
Nookie it sounds like you had a wonderful time!
Stone – I’m glad you had fun with your friend! It sounds like maybe it has potential?
I unfortunately didn’t get to do anything I had planned this weekend because I hurt my back pretty badly at crossfit Saturday morning and went straight from there to the hospital urgent care. I was in a drug induced fog all weekend. So I never hung out with happy hour guy but we’ve talked about doing one of those wine and paint nights sometime soon.
I do have a date with a new guy next week. It’s a set up from mutual friends. All I know is the picture I’ve seen and that he has a good job and a dog so we’ll see what happens!
@Veritek that sucks that you injured yourself! On the bright side, drug induced fogs can be very relaxing. Wine and paint nights are so cool! Honestly though they just make me want to buy art supplies and paint at home. I’m not good, but I really enjoy it. What are you doing with the new guy? Was it a good picture at least?
I think there’s potential with the friend, but I think I’m going to have to be extra patient. He’s kind of skittish. I am still not sure to what extent he was overwhelmed last night. He spent the night and it was super cuddly and we had breakfast together this morning and he drove me to work and it all seemed fairly normal? But I dunno.
It’s kinda fun being twitterpated about that though, while things with Physicist remain wonderful but complicated (I think I’m probably going to have to stop seeing him until he gets things resolved with his other relationship one way or another. Everything is so up in the air right now).
Stone- I went on a date to one of those painting places about two years ago and it was really fun even though I wasn’t that into the guy. It was fun hanging out that night and I have a painting out of it!
Not 100 percent certain on plans with the new guy but we have exchanged phone numbers and discussed a day but haven’t nailed down a plan yet. It’ll probably end up being coffee. And from the picture I’ve seen he is very cute.
Stone – there’s something special about someone from the past. I have a guy like that – friends in high school and now we drift in and out of each other’s lives. Except probably not the best example since we haven’t spoken in a year. We tried to have sex, he couldn’t stay hard, and it was really awkward after 8 years of on and off flirting and making out. I think the nostalgia factor always made him more exciting and feel like a “crush”.
Veritek – I’ve heard that crossfit is more prone to injury than regular weight training. Is that true in your experience? One of my friends does crossfit, and she’s in phenomenal shape. But also frequently nursing an injury. Oh, and I want to try the wine/painting thing. I’ve heard the instructors help you if you’re horrible, but I guess it varies from place to place. I just have zero faith in my painting abilities, but it does sound fun.
I’m not doing much exciting stuff here. I have not been super in the mood lately, so I’ve only been hanging out with the FWB and not the other 3 guys. Plus work has had a lot of after hours stuff for my customers, so I’ve been busy with that.
My FWB found his birth mom! He’s wary but optimistic. The whole story is filled with scandal, pornagrpahic talent agents, and all sorts of things. But I think he’s excited to have some sort of family since his adopted parents and their relatives have all passed away. So we’ve kind of preoccupied with that and less on the sex stuff. Understandably. But we have a spa day scheduled for next month! 🙂
In the ongoing saga of my friend and my god daughter, she came home last night to find her fiance barred out, alone with their daughter. I’m fucking livid but obviously can’t force her to leave. I just don’t see this getting better. Of course I’m a bit biased since my brother has struggled with drug addiction for the last 15 years. I just don’t want an innocent child to grow up experiencing the shit he’s put us through – all the thefts, countless overdoses, lie after lie, etc. Ugh.
Oh no, I hope you’re feeling better now, @veritek33! I’ve been wanting to do a wine and paint night, but my boyfriend is an actual artist so my painting would look super amateurish next to all of his! But I’ll probably do one at some point anyway 🙂
