Well Mechanic unexpectedly had to work most of the weekend due to a work related emergency so our big date for Sat had to be cancelled. I was disappointed but he made up for it big time. He had to work until about 10:30pm Sat night, he called on his way home (he lives just under 2 hrs away from me) and we were joking he should come over for a movie. (My cousin was visiting for the weekend w/ her son) and Mechanic ended up driving the 2 hrs to hang out with us for a couple hrs before going to bed (spare room) and driving back for work the next day. He text later saying he wasn't as tired as he should be and we made plans to get together that night. So Sunday he came back over again, we ordered chinese take out, got a movie and chill-axed. Made out for a bit which led to.....................
Things are starting to click into place. I'm not completely "OMG He's the ONE!!!" but perhaps this much slower, less fevered approach is a good sign. I keep thinking back on something someone posted, was it Loony? Need a Tiara? Regarding signs it could be a lasting relationship and signs it won't work. One of them was "instant chemisty, it won't work. If you aren't head over heels attracted to them right off the bat, it could be long lasting" or something along those lines. I'm just going to see how this goes, but not close down my POF just yet. I'm still not answering msgs on there tho. So I'm totally in a "Why don't you just close it down then if you aren't going to reply msgs??" hahahaha
So that's my update.
As for NC we've agreed it best to just not see each other even on a coffee basis for a time. For him to figure his stuff out and for me to really give Mechanic a fair chance that he so deserves after everything and he still stuck through. I might have become used to finding the not so great matches (RCMP, NC) that because Mechanic is so different, I'm assuming he's not a match when in reality he may be the closest I've ever been hahahaha funny how life works :) SO there ya have it
Now, I have some major catch up to do!!! You guy have all been busy posters here over the weekend!

Great update! I'm happy that you and Mechanic are seeing each other to see where things go. Maybe slow and steady WILL win the race, as far as the chemistry. I know for lots of people, the chestry built up over time for them and they are very happy in solid relationships. The hot chemistry right off the bat can lead to crash and burn so often.
I think its good that NC and you decided to step away from things right now. Its true, M would never have a chance to get close to you with NC being so near to your feelings and thoghts.
