Oh dear, I'm SO sorry, it appears my page refreshed weirdly and I read your post re Mr Italy which was on the first page of this thread, sorry Scotgal, you must think I'm a bit batty.
I need a little advice from some of you, please.
I met someone through a mutual friend a week and a half ago in a bar and we ended up talking, walking (and having a kiss or two) for a few hours. We've been texting most days. He wanted to invite me to a philosophy conference in Brittany (we live in France and he's a philosopher although he works with handicapped teenagers as well as writing) this weekend. I told him after reflection that I wouldn't be joining him because I just wasn't interested in falling into bed with someone or a FWB set up. He replied that he wasn't looking for such relationships, that he had felt a connection with me and wanted to get to know me, bla, bla. and that in the worst case scenario we could have a good friendship. He then promptly invited me to an exhibition/conference thing going on in town that evening but I couldn't make it as I was with my children. He understood and sent me a couple of photos of the exhibition
We have agreed to meet up this weekend (he's not going to Brittany as he's very tired, he says). Now, he's suggested we cooking dinner together and spending the evening talking. That's just a way of getting me into bed, isn't it? In my shoes would you say I'd rather just meet for a drink, or accept his suggestion ? Or maybe just say no thanks !
