Gelato

After our return from the Cotswolds last night, it was a slow day here, as we just generally sat around catching up on news, e-mails, and being back in London. We took a quick trip out mid-day for some books, gelato, and a visit to the grocery store, but otherwise everything was very chill.

Before I left, I'd sent two messages on Facebook: One to the English Chap, and another to the Texan. The English Chap had immediately sent a hysterical response(I'd been teasing him about his birthday, as he's also coming up on 30 like me), whereas the Texan didn't respond. The English Chap is incredibly funny, warm, and keeps talking about how much he wants to see me, which at least is making this whole thing somewhat easy. Although he suggested (of all things) getting together and just chilling out reading the Sunday papers, as it's going to be one of the only things he'll have time for in the next week or two. Now, while I actually LOVE doing that, doesn't it seem more suited to a lazy morning AFTER you've been to bed together, not before? So I totally understand his desire to get together soon at all costs, but I think he should rethink these date ideas...

Yet, I don't want to "count my chickens before they hatch" so to speak, so when a friend suggested drinks with a guy who she thinks might be a good date prospect, I agreed. After all, as much as I like the English Chap and I think he likes me, I could be totally wrong about this or he could turn out to be totally psycho. So for now, all options must remain open.

Still, I need to write back to the English Chap, because being the total idiot that I am, I'm terrified of just dashing off something that sounds air-headed, so I'm leaving the poor guy to sit in silence while I pour over every word and compose a suitably witty, breezy, and humourous response. At least now I can honestly say that if someone doesn't write back right away, it's entirely possible that it's because they REALLY like you.

Why is it that we behave like such idiots when it comes to boys, particularly boys that we like?
