NoMore I'm not offended because I know you're trying to be helpful. But really I am not someone who settles for anything, I never have been. That's why I've ended every relationship I've ever had. It's why I never got married (my fucktard Ex would have married me if I'd wanted. I didn't because he wasn't good enough). And in non relationship terms not settling is how I ended up with the job and the degree I have now - when everyone told me I wasn't quite good enough for either, and I should just go to an easier, lesser uni, or for a less demanding career.
I've been doing this OD crap very unsuccessfully for a VERY long time. I'd challenge anyone if they'd been single for as long as I have, not to be a little bit happy about seeing someone again they actually like, and who likes them back. It's all very well saying oh you need to find someone who is this and does that, and yes fundamentally I agree. But in 4 years THIS is the closest I've come. So for now I just want to enjoy looking forward to a date, like other people do, even though I fully know (again as I said before) nothing more will probably come of it. I'm not expecting to see him again...when Xmas came and went I wrote him off, this was a surprise. I wasn't holding out for it. I have had other dates in the meantime. I am very far from pinning all my hopes on him.
So I will simply enjoy the evening, wear my new very long false eyelashes. Look my glamorous best and if he won't see me again soon, clearly its not meant to be.
And Snape, he will be in contact. Tomorrow I think. Patience :) says the most impatient person in the world
