Wow, I know I’ve only just introduced Crocodile Dundee, but things need to be updated. First of all, I finally responded to his message and told him that as a reward for his patience he could have my phone number. That was a bold move for me because it meant that he actually might call me. That was a week ago. He texted me that very evening and we had a nice text-ersation. I was totally twittery and glad that it wasn’t in person. I do find that it’s sometimes easier to be flirty when you can take the time to craft a perfect message. After a few texts, he asked if he could call me sometime. I totally wanted him to, but I wasn’t sure how to say yes without seeming too keen. So I didn’t answer that text for a little bit. He sent another one apologizing for being so forward and explaining that he prefers actual interaction to texts and emails. I feel exactly the same, but couldn’t be too eager. I replied that he could call me sometime and he told me to let him know when. I thought that was a little weird. How does one casually inform someone that it is now acceptable for them to call? I decided to give it a few days. I really intended to text him the next day and have him call me, but truth be told, I was a little nervous. What if he decided he didn’t like me after talking to me for a few minutes? I know it’s silly, but there it is.
The next day, with the help and encouragement of several friends, I screwed up the courage to text him. I let him know that I’d be around that evening if he wanted to give me a call. I then spent the next few hours nervously awaiting my fate. He finally called and it was great right from the beginning. I found him to be quite charming, though some of that might be his accent. I liked him right away, which I’m sure had something to do with the fact that he thought I was funny. That counts for a lot in my book. We talked for nearly an hour without even one awkward pause. I still felt like we had loads to talk about and it was easy and fun and casual and flirty without being silly. It was great. At the end, he asked if he could call me again sometime and suggested coming to see me. I was pretty excited. This just doesn’t happen to me very often.
I spent the next few days anxiously awaiting his next move. I was a little worried when I hadn’t heard from him after three days. I was characteristically nervous that he had decided he didn’t want to get to know me anymore. I tried to be patient with him, but I’m a classic over thinker. So imagine my elation on Tuesday when he texted me again. He said he’d like to come pay me a visit and take me out sometime. I said that would be fine with me so he said he’d call me this week and we’d figure out a time when we could get together. This boy is wasting no time. I like a man who isn’t afraid to go for it. It’s not even been a week since our first conversation and he’s already asking me out. I’m enjoying the attention, and I have to admit, it’s quite nice to be pursued. He’s definitely winning brownie points with me. I’m trying not to get ahead of myself, but I’m excited. I don’t know where this train is going, but I’m going to enjoy the ride!
"text-ersation" hahahahahahaha!
