Still on that roller coaster

The date was a resounding success. We went for a lovely dinner and chatted for hours. Good chats, lots of compliments, mutual agreement on moralistic issues and more. We drank most of a bottle of wine, then the restaurant was shutting so we brought the rest home to drink. Fooling around ensued. Then at midnight he went home (told you would be no sleep overs). Also he was flying at 6am the next day, such the adventure man.

Saturday I was floating on air much of the day, memories of the night before continually resurfacing. Also happy that I no longer felt as nervous about him, actually much more comfortable and certain that all was good.

Here's the thing though. I didn't hear from him at all that day. Which I found rather unsettling given the fooling around part. I had a friends bday drinks which started at 6pm, so by 8pm, alcohol fueled I sent a text. It was a very casual if cheeky message. The issue is however that 2 hours later he had not returned my message. By then I was so annoyed that I couldn't resist a little drunk and dial. He laughed and said he was just about to text back. Yeah right.

I got home at 2.30am and checked the online dating site which showed him to be online now! Not happy at all. I sent him another message. Such wise decisions all round. Message actually wasn't too bad it simply said am going to bed now, sorry about drunken call, talk soon.

So I woke up on Sunday completely miserable. However, despite feeling disappointed in my sightly stalkerish behavior, I couldn't shake the fact that I don't know what is going on with him. My fear is that he is looking for fun rather than love. Which means we are not on the same page. Worth noting that when I got up it still said he was online now. Basically he just hadn't logged out at some point....not such a big deal then.

Please explain why dating is such hard work? Now what do I do? Going over our date on the Friday night I did remember him saying one comment I thought a bit odd. It was 'I can't believe we've seen each other twice in one week'. Hmm. So Macka it seems is taking things much more slowly than I would have hoped. Then again he also casually suggested me going on a 2 week holiday with him in July so the messages were somewhat mixed!

I need to make a decision. Do I - a/ bring up taking our profiles down on our next date. Or b/ keep dating other men + try to take things slowly with Macka.

Right now I'm going for option b. Will just have to see how I go. I would love to be able to wait him out and have him suggesting the profiles come down!

FYI, I'm not worried that I've scared him off as last night he sent me a message....it said 'hey you big spunk, I'm looking forward to seeing you again this week, xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'

Irish gets back this week. Mr Intellect has been texting. I mean I've got options.

One more tidbit. A very handsome man approached me whilst out for friends bday on Saturday night. We had a long chat. It seemed however that his girlfriend had recently moved to NZ and their relationship is on the rocks. As they are still together, I sent him on his way without so much as a kiss. I think he was in shock but thanked me profusely. Bloody men.

ps last week was rather too social and am now blaming myself for the fact I have tonsillitis, new plan = taking it easy!
