I've met someone and I don't know how to finish this title.

[ProfessorPickles]

I apologise for the terrible thread title, but I didn't have a clue what to go with and could no longer ask your advice
I still like train edition but didn't want to use it incase it's terrible, which it probably is.

So here we are, part three of the 'I've met someone' saga.
The first thread was very positive and exciting, the second was mostly negative for all of us and here we are starting the third!

Let's make it a good one!

Lol..this...yep...one slip and could be a bit more oooolaalaaa lol...right got to shoot ....this...not like that lol...shall catch you chaps later ...

Evening everyone!

I am SO happy to read your updates This that sounds so promising. And yes, that bosses wife is definitely in on it. They've been discussing you, how lovely!!

I can't wait until you see him again tomorrow.

I'm so pleased that he jumped at the chance with no hesitation, I bet he can't believe his luck!!!

Eek!!!!

How're you feeling, This? Wonderful I imagine!

Ooh, thank you lovely Prof!! I can't wait to find out how you are? How's work AND Graphics Man?

I'm so happy. I was out late last night (had a great time) but when the alarm rang at 6.30, well I was just knackered. I dropped the children off at their respective schools and then took the car in. I was so tired and stressed. I saw B's brother, asked him if B was around and he pointed to where he was. B had his back to me and was with another guy. And I thought to myself sod this. So I turned round and went to see the boss's wife in the office. As I walked into the office B walked past the office door but I just didn't even look at him . I talked to the boss's wife, had a laugh with her and arranged when I could pick up the car.

And then I walked through the vineyards feeling hopeless and down although the walk was lovely.

I got home, tried to get loads of stuff done but everything kept going wrong. I won't go into details but some really irritating stuff. My eldest daughter was around, which was nice, and then she left for her rehearsal and I set off through the vineyards towards the garage.

And then, once I got there, I saw him sat in the Jag with the door open; almost like an invitation for me to come see him (he would have known what time I was picking up the Merc). From that point everything was easy. He was smiling, sweet, concerned, interested. Just adorable really. When his boss turned up and made fun of me a little, B told him he wasn't being very kind. Obviously, I felt more relaxed and more myself. It was good to see him making the effort to find a solution about seeing me once I'd asked but I just wanted to stay discrete once his boss was around. When the boss's wife said I needed to return tomorrow afternoon I thought how convenient that would be. As I left, B was with the boss, looked at me and I just said, 'I have to come back tomorrow'.

I really hope we find the solution tomorrow. And I hope he's not in a rush to head back home Monday evening after seeing me so that I can ask him out for a drink in the city centre. Fingers crossed.

Evening all.
Well, This, didn't I always tell you that he will jump at the chance?! of course he did - I was saying in my last post on here that there is not one reason for a free and single man who finds you attarctive and has been building up all the flirting/hand touching/undressing in front of you even (yet at the same time respectful) to say 'no' to a chance to get closer or at least to meet up and give it all a good chance!
Well done for making a careful (!) but important first step! NOw he's intrigued and nervous - good move actually as even if he thinks yo meant repairing the garage, his imaginations will be painting all possible scenarios and he will end up panting HOPING for more despite his sensible nature.
But please tell him when you meet that you aer not leaving France - to tease him beyond the time of meeting up would be very counter-productive! Shame that he can't come over to the house - but you said before yo didn't want that anyway, so maybe more comfortable for you making small steps. But you see, he's suggested it so he's really raring to go in whatever direction YOU want to. I always thought that he is just waiting for the initiative from you.

your last paragraph - not quite clear where do you mean he will be seeing you? I thought you were not going into the garage on Monday as well - and it's not at your house - so where else could it be if not in town for a drink? which would have to be Monday eve I'm, assuming. You could suggest that tomorrow!

Good evening PGtips! I'm so glad to read your comments. So glad!! I'll be back in a few minutes as I'm on the 'phone but I couldn't leave your message unanswered.

I can imagine that you're very happy, I'm so pleased for you
It does sound like he was possibly hanging around your car alone to get chance to speak to you, especially after the disappointment earlier on!
It's all sounding so promising, I feel really happy for you and excited.
I'm a little bit confused though, This. You're going back tomorrow, but what is happening Monday? Have I missed that bit?
Am I right in assuming you asked to see him on Monday?

I'm very good by the way, thank you for asking I had a great day at work today, I impressed my managers my using my initiative to solve a problem I came across that they hadn't noticed themselves! They said they need more people like me and that it's a shame I'm only there for the summer. Wahoo!

Graphics man sent me a nice message earlier, but nothing exciting to report I'm afraid he goes for his holiday soon so it'll be another week until he hopefully arranges the date!

Prof, I have to return late afternoon tomorrow as there's a small job he needs to do on the car then, once the part will have been delivered. Since his boss, after arriving, was stuck to him like glue I didn't want to confirm with B where and when we'd be meeting up on Monday after work as I just didn't want to be indiscrete.

So, tomorrow afternoon (if all goes well) we'll find a time and place to meet up on Monday. It's such a pity that I have an entire weekend alone and he's off from Friday evening to Monday. BUT, I'm not going to complain about that! It was so sweet that he actually told me what he was doing this weekend as he was opening up and being honest with me. It's a pity I didn't hear what he was doing though I might ask him tomorrow!

I know I keep repeating myself about this (I'm very sensitive to music) but I cannot believe he listened to virtually the whole of my CD. Normally, in the past, the guys working on my car would just tune into their favourite radio station. Not this time though.

Now, Prof and PGtips, how are you both this evening?

Oops, cross-posted Prof.

hi Prof, I've asked exactly the same regarding Monday in my last post - sounded confusing.
A bit disappointing that your guy didn't try to arrange to see you before the hols, is he very busy? I must say I"d be grumpy with him if it were me - but I"m known for my lack of patience (not a good trait at all!) so I'm glad you are calm about it, great that you are happy at your temp job - a great distraction!

This it was just a confusing wording - you said on Monday you'll offer to him to go out in town AFTER he's seen you - I think that word was supposed to be something else.
This did you miss my DM (not today)?

I think Prof said that Graphics Man lives far away from her, PGtips, so I imagine it's not super straightforward to meet up which is a shame in a way.

I liked that he immediately suggested coming round to my home. It just seemed so natural. And then his boss turns up. Whilst we were discussing when to meet up I changed the subject and talked about the Jag (taking the pressure off for me) and then I left him to pick back up where we left off about finding the right time before I left for England, which he did.

I think I'm a little anxious about him not having a lot of time on Monday after work as I initially said that I would like to see him but I didn't want to take up too much of his time (I know, I know PGtips , baby steps for me, right?). Mostly, however, it's because I recall our whisky evening and how, when his mother had texted him a few times, he was in a hurry to go see her.

But I'm not really anxious, just cautiously excited.

Yes, I did receive your DM on Monday PGtips. I've just reread it and I will answer you! The last few days have been hectic (same for you I imagine). It's the last week of school and I've been tearing my hair out with my bank card getting rejected on websites necessary to book my trip to England next week. It doesn't sound like a big deal but it has mean a lot of trips to the city, phone calls to the bank (reassuring, etc) as well as all the rest.

Are you ok?

Ah ok, didn't know of course that you had all this stress - I hate it too, when something doesn't work technically!
yes, it doesn't really matter if your first meeting is short, This, it's just a starter! If you remember I suggested long time ago (before your visit when he was grumpy) that I'd invite him to your garden if not house (as it's a sensitive issue for you) for a drink - it's relaxed and indeed natural and no distractions. But yes. not when kids are there - you may not feel like being obviously flirty if they can see you.
I have a few financial stresses on and obv nothing to be joyful about in lovelife, but yes, I'm ok - I have to be. When in London on that seminar in last fewdays - another frustrating reminder of seeing a man who I knew for several years and I know he is a bit in love with me (at least) and I would SO see it as a possibilty despite him being older, we just get on and fancy each other , plus have a very strong interest/work in common- but guess what, of course he's married and wife involved in his business and hence was present as she often is at this event - so as usual, nostalgic stolen glances from both etc, but I've not seen him for a year now as it's just frustrating so I avoid it now - nevetheless t was still nice to see him again and a little distracting from my woes, even though again nothin to be joyful about.

I hasten to say nothing has been said about 'fancying' between us during the years I've known him, I wasn't trying to be an OW.

Evening prof...can you recommend some new boots for myself

This...my fingers will be crossed tomorrow for you....take him out for a bite to eat lol....😉

Help!

What's up this

What's up This? Are you ok?

I'll be back in five minutes.

Hope you're ok

No, not really.

Do you want to talk about it? If not we can just talk about random things and be with you for a bit.
