Remember that stupid question? Well, it
Find a Conversation

came true. At least part of it.
MtEverest called twice last week - Monday where we had a great conversation - he was back from the trip with his sisters, son and mom for the mom's birthday and wanted to tell me his story and see how I was doing. We had a great conversation, actually.
Then Wednesday he called to check in again and said maybe we can do a bike ride this weekend and that he would call Friday. He explained he is really busy right now with writing his business plan and finding some new customers. I think his business is new and he is under a lot of pressure right now - I have to gather more of the story.
He didn't call yesterday but sent a text message this morning saying he has to fly to CA for the day to meet with one more investor but that we will definitely talk during the week.
So, that stupid question from the guy on EH came true in a way. What happens when you like someone and have good chemistry but the are building their life?
And now I don't know if I can just say "door #3 next." As I explained to my friend, I am going to keep him simmering nicely on the back burner and wait and see what happens. He has had 2 stressful one day business trips this week yet has stayed in touch. I am still online with EH and still getting out as much as I can IRL. So time will tell.
Just wanted to share and to say I thought that was funny that his stupid question came true!
I guess what is in my head is that I really like Mteverest - we have a lot of the same goals and interests. I think he has a lot of integrity as a dad and as a person and that he is very nice. But at the moment he is spread too thin - I have to find out if he is always like this with work or is it just something that will pass with time. I am willing to be a bit patient - but there is no way I am signing up for a workaholic.
Only time will tell? Right?
OOOOH - and while I was typing this, the lab owner just called and left a message. (lab as in dental lab, not dog). The only thing I don't know about him is that he has a boat and a motorcycle - and I am not into those at all. But will have to talk to him.
OH - and one more thing - the guy at the pool who is really nice and my pace and does triathlons was wanting me to go to their first meeting on Monday night and he wants to ride with me.

Thanks, rlch!! And yes - I can be okay with slow and steady and will keep the feelers out as well. I think you are right that maybe I was used to jumping into a relationship and this one is different. He is definitely making an effort to keep in touch and we like talking to each other - he is always sweet and gives me compliments. Thanks for helping me. And yes, I know I am a workout freak - but my sport is so much fun and everyone in it is the same really - where we all want to do different races and get faster and compare notes. But you are different and that is okay, too, you can really socialize well at parties and have fun and I love your sense of humor and stories.
Sorry I forgot to comment on the thread about DD's hair and the blender - that is so crazy - and yes - you have to be careful with those machines and long hair!!
I was thinking that MA Hurricaine was rebuilding, too, a starting a new business.
It pays to have a really large stove so you can have lots of burners going! (lol)
LOL!! I love your stove analogy. 4 burners to fill, right?
Yes, Hurricane MA did have a new business started, but his wife search took precedence over finding new business and he only had an apartment and no son. No more hurricanes!!!! I think quiet is definitely appreciated from that push push every day scenario!!
