None + one = one!

So Fozzy took off last week for a couple of days down the South Coast. It appears that this couple of days has turned into a pivotal moment in our 'relationship'. Our break up!

After not hearing from him for 4 days...and truth be told having had a couple of vinos...I decided to text him. He had after all promised me a massage at our next rendezvous. His response was the news that he had decided to stay down South for a week. Thanks for the tip Fozzy! One week is up today. He hasn't made any attempt to contact me unprompted in that time. Given our lack of compatibility and his unpredictable behavior, I have officially decided that the writing is on the wall. A/ he is just not that into me B/ it is time to move on.

Saturday night I put my best flat shoes on and headed up to the taxi rank bound for Shortys. On route, I detoured into the local pub having received a text from a friend saying she was inside. This detour is shaping up to be a defining moment!

I said my quick hello, catching eyes with one of her boyfriends mates. Uh-oh. In that one short glance my date with Shorty lost all its luster.

Dragged myself away, had to after all Shorty was preparing a 3 course meal! Once at his apartment, I did my best to focus on the date at hand. And I really did relax and begin to enjoy myself. The flat shoes worked a treat.

Until of course I got a text from the boy at the pub. My head was spinning as I snack back a reply and again attempted to refocus.

It was a lovely dinner. We even pashed at the end of the night. Overall he is great. And overall I am still not very interested. And particularly weirded out by the text once in bed that said 'your kiss lingers on my lips, it feels nice'. What the?

This week has been characterized to date by the slowly forming possibility that I am about to date someone I didn't meet online. What are the odds?!

He friend requested me on Monday on Facebook. He sent me a rather long email yesterday. Today we have locked in a date (not till next week though).

So, let's call him the definer. And, lets hope he goes on to define more than the demise of me dating Shorty!

One plus one = none?

Mass confusion reigns!

I have seen Fozzy twice since last post. I don't know why but there certainly is some solid chemistry between us. Outside of that, it doesn't stack up, we don't have a thing in common. And before you go saying I rely far too much on looks, that's not it. Whilst I am extremely attracted to him, I wouldn't say it's all physical.

So why, why, why, has he gotten under my skin?

With so many questions unanswered, and at this point no talk of feelings, shagging, or exclusivity chats, it seems at we are simply hanging out. Highly charged hanging out, but still just hanging out.

Which led me to making sure to continue the hunt elsewhere.

Option one - the Doctor seems to have fallen through. Am devastated, so sure am I that I would 'fit' with him. He has not responded to last weeks text. Actually just this moment I sent another, claiming to have had phone problems.....we shall see.

Moving on, I mentioned last time a looming prospect. Allow me to introduce Shorty. Shorty claims to be 5 foot 11 - my cut off - however having met him I'd put him at 5 foot 9 tops! Outside of that though, we do appear to have much in common.

We met a couple of nights ago. He is; smart, easy to talk to, communicative, well dressed, successful, ambitious, creative, a great cook, financially stable, respectful, polite and more. And he is very interested in me.

Here's the rub. I spent much of my date with Shorty wishing I was with Fozzy.

Hence my confusion.

Look, I'm deciding nothing at this point. I will likely see both of them over the course of the weekend. But maybe what all this is pointing to is the simple need to say NEXT?

Gone fishing

So as it goes, I didn't quite get around to Husband Hunting in Thailand. Now I can't say I was totally focused on the task...but I can say that there were some pretty serious obstacles.

Firstly, after thorough interrogation, in terms of traveler profile, there was a huge over representation of a/ honeymooners and b/ back packers (under 25). Both obviously off limits re HH.

Secondly, I have a handicap. I am not a Thai bird, and as it goes, most men outside of the above visit Thailand to shag Thai birds. Is true, I swear it!

Anyhow, course I had some fun along the way (don't worry, all b/ not a/!).

Moving on, holiday over, it's time to refocus on the task at hand.

So far:
- Fozzy back on board, think he was having holiday related issues, seeing him on the weekend
- The Dr and I exchanged a couple of texts whilst I was away...sms'd him yesterday to alert of my return, however, nothing back (dear god, please don't let him have been snaffled up during my break!)
- Is another online prospect lurking....too early to report more

And tomorrow night am out on the town, so will do my very best to add to the above list.

As ever, wish me luck.
