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. 😳

He’s just gone (have to be in bed early because it’s a school night 😁)

Had a really nice relaxed evening, he was super sweet with my little bro, took time to chat with him. I’m sure having an 11 year old in toe is maybe a bit off putting, but he seemed cool about it.

Had a little kiss good night, but that was it, managed to contain ourselves. Strange timing but my ex text me out of the blue today. I’m sure that’s not a bad omen though.

All in all, I feel quite positive and a little bit encouraged by the experience. I didn’t really see myself contemplating a relationship for a long time, and the past few months have been quite strange to say the least. Maybe some light at the end of the tunnel. Trying not to get ahead of myself though.

Aaaw I was lurking on this thread, although admittedly under a different username.

Sounds like a great evening to was had OP. Although how weird is that, your ex getting in touch the same night?! OMG... definitely the biggest omen and sign you're moving on. Hope you didn't reply ?

Onwards and upwards and all that Grin

I've just happened upon this thread OP

And now I feel all mushy and fuzzy inside

Will you be using MN to get advice on planning the wedding? Can I buy a hat? Ooooo you need to appeal to the vipers to see if someone can be your witness!!

GreenBottleTops · 26/02/2020 19:24

Yes. Let’s immediately plan the wedding 😁

What a lovely thread! You sound like an absolute treasure, OP. I hope it pans out well for you Flowers

Knobblybobbly · 27/02/2020 07:11

I have a good feeling about this one OP.

Yes, I know I’m basing this on a couple of posts on MN but I pride myself on picking up romantic vibes being able to pick good eggs out of a sea of wankers. It’s a very specific skill.

GreenFingersWouldBeHandy · 27/02/2020 14:59

This is a very sweet thread.

dustibooks · 27/02/2020 15:39

Let's immediately plan the wedding

I'll go and buy a hat tomorrow then Grin

Mittens030869 · 27/02/2020 16:25

I've really enjoyed reading your thread, I'm so glad it's working out so well for both of you and your LB. Smile

BumbleBeee69 · 27/02/2020 17:18

omg.. a nice happy cheerful thread ... love it OP ❤️

Kiki275 · 27/02/2020 21:05

Have you planned a proper date yet OP?x

GreenBottleTops · 27/02/2020 21:14

No proper date planned - but it’s quite tricky to get childcare sorted out. LB just moved in with me in September so I’m still a bit conscious of making him feel at home and not inconvenient etc - not sure anyone has any tips for that hurdle, but would definitely like to have a proper night out soon and he’s suggested a few things that I’ve sort of been non committal about just because of family circumstances

So exciting! Keep updating with all the goss 💖

Member377005 · 27/02/2020 21:28

Who looked after you brother the first night you were together?Maybe they could help again? It is tricky, has you brother any hobbies he does with friends, or mates he goes to in the evenings?

Sammiches101 · 28/02/2020 11:21

I love this thread op! i feel all warm and fuzzy reading your updates Smile

GreenBottleTops · 28/02/2020 20:57

LB was staying with our older Bro over half term, it’s quite far so older brother probably wouldn’t fancy a trip down for the night.

He has a hockey tournament tomorrow so going to drop him off and pop off to meet for a little coffee between matches - not quite a proper date, but hopefully nice to get some time together. He’s suggested movie night with LB in the evening, but maybe it’s a bit weird to keep having my brother on our “dates” 😳

AnneKipanki · 28/02/2020 21:02

Is your LB being with you a long term arrangement?
