Should I text him?

I think I did something a bit silly last night and now I’m a bit of a dither.

We had a formal dinner for a work event last night, I hate going to those things and always feel a bit out of my depth. My boss was there too, and we ended up chatting for most of the night rather than doing the networking we were supposed to be doing. We shared a taxi home and he invited me in. We ended up sleeping together.

I came out of a very long term relationship last year, and I’ve never had a one night stand, which I assume this is...

I left early this morning whilst he was still asleep and I haven’t heard from him. I don’t really know what my point is, I just am sort of dreading work on Monday and wonder if I should text him.

I feel like I’m probably overthinking the whole thing *smacks forehead

I probably just need to give myself a shake. I’m just really not adept at this sort of thing. 😳

Aw have him around! Or at least see if someone can take db for a couple of hours?

Beansandcoffee · 23/02/2020 19:24

I would try to get a babysitter. Any teenagers locally that you know, daughters of friends?

MrsAgassi · 23/02/2020 19:32

It sounds like you both like each other, just go with it!

He obviously wasn’t put off by you doing a runner which is always a good sign!

Muckycat · 23/02/2020 19:37

Great! If you can't get a babysitter then nothing wrong with a takeaway as you already know him well. 'Proper' date next time though! 😊

Bythecooker · 23/02/2020 19:48

What a nice update, have him round if you can't get out, he sounds as lovely as you sound 😁

GreenBottleTops · 23/02/2020 20:40

Thanks for the hand holds and encouragement. I feel much better about work tomorrow! Not sure what I can do with little bro, he’s at a funny age so will most likely eat and go to his room, so maybe it wouldn’t be super awkward to have him round at the same time. I’ll obviously try and contain myself😁

Aww brilliant update Smile

Member377005 · 24/02/2020 00:45

He sounds a nice guy, interested in getting to know you! Glad that went well today, and wish I could babysit your brother to help out!

Awww lovely update x

Home42 · 24/02/2020 17:37

Yay!!

GreenBottleTops · 24/02/2020 19:27

Survived the day - he brought me a little hot chocolate at break time, think I might be a bit smitten - if that’s a thing. My LB says it’s fine for him to come for dinner tomorrow and is now just excited that he gets to have pizza for tea. Fingers crossed it all goes ok 😬😳

This is good stuff

OrlandoInTheWilderness · 24/02/2020 21:30

Hope you are having a lovely time! Chill and go for it OP.

Gogolego · 24/02/2020 21:36

Oooo sounds exciting. Go for it he won't be you boss for ever and when you think how many people have met their significant other at work... just be discreet about it

Please let us know how tomorrow evening goes

mamato3lads · 24/02/2020 21:47

@dwum has it spot on. Do that. Keep it casual and light.

Always a bit awkward this kind of thing x

mamato3lads · 24/02/2020 21:48
