*giggles incoherently*

I got a reply to my Gaydar ad! It's a guy HERE IN TOWN! He's from India but working here in the IT sector (hm, what a surprise! Smile Lots of talented IT people in India), and he's a little shy and withdrawn like me, but goes out to discos sometimes because he loves to dance...

Omgomgomg... I just sent him a reply email! Omgomgomg!

Okay, maybe it's too early to despair. The reply did lie in my hotmail email inbox for FOUR DAYS though before I noticed it, because I didn't log into the messenger for a long time. Hope that didn't piss the guy off. Sad

I didn't expect to get emails to that account so I never bothered to check it. I still wouldn't have found it if I hadn't logged in to msn last night.

Oh well. What happens happens. I hope he writes back... Thanks for your thoughts, everybody.

He emailed me this morning... Wheeeee! Smile

In the pic, he sits on a tall rock located on the south end of the island of Hisingen, with the city center further to the south across the river, he's wearing a beige, long-sleeved knitted shirt and dark jeans of the NICE kind - ie snug-fitting, not the hanging-down-at-your-knees variety.

Makes me think he might have a really nice butt...! Smile

I don't know what he's expecting of me at this point, a friend, or maybe even a - OMG - boyfriend. He tells me he's single, and that he's never been in a relationship before and that he likes many of the things I mention in my Gaydar profile (which makes me hopeful), and he has SUCH a cute name... OMG.

Anyway, excuse me while I giggle some more. I know I should not do this, I should not get my hopes up because I'm so used to disappointment (and it always ends in disappointment), but I can't help thinking, maybe this time... Maybe. Who knows.

Maybe...!

Take a deep breath Smile Get your hopes up that you are gonna make a new friend......what comes after that, you just gotta wait and see.

He sounds like a cool guy: cute name, possibly cute butt Smile, likes stuff you like.

Giggle all you want.....life should be made up of giggles :)Smile

Geez, I've got butterflies in my stomach and there's still almost five days left til friday... OMGOMG...!

Anyone experienced with such things who wants to offer some advice? *blush*

hmm when steve takes me out (ugg im an aweful one to be giving advice for this)... Ok a warm bath helps if your anything like me cuz ithelps you relax and calm down before you go out. Also anxiety pills Razz but thats just me I think... Make sure you wear soemthign you are very comfy in. If your self consience cuz of what your wearing you'll never have fun. Hmmm what else always burhs your teeth befor you leave the house Smile And keep something like gum or candy with you it helps to prevent those nervous litle habits like tapping your foot and moving your hands to much Smile Thats all I gots to say Have lots of fun Lenny



Why are you wearing that stupid man suit?

Go out Friday. Then start thinking about the rest of the weekend. SLOW DOWN!

As for Friday, be yourself. Focus on having a good time and getting to know him. Find out the things he likes to do, then you'll have a game plan if you decide you want to see him again.

GOOD LUCK! {{{GREAT BIG HUG!!}}}

Thinking tons of good thoughts for you,

*giggle*

Friday is set, he wants to go out with me! :):):):):):)Smile

His name is Daya, and he's 23 years old and a little short just like I like them (175cm), and from India like I maybe mentioned, and he is so handsome like I said previously, with short black hair and dark skin. And, he takes ballet classes too, so he's probably all lithe and sexy too. Wow! Smile

Is this for real? Wow...

Must be, because I know I dreamt dreams about him all night so I can't be dreaming now. No, it wasn't like wet dreams hehe, eww, don't be gross Smile, but proper dreams. We were friends and doing stuff together and I can't really remember, but I know that he was there in them... OMG. Smile

This is so cool. All we have to do is set a time for us to meet, and then actually go there to have a nice thai dinner. Wheeeee!


Hugs!

Meanwhile, back to the moving into the new apartment chores...

The thai place I'm thinking of is very small and rather intimate, only about five tables, of which two only hold two people. One of those is in a corner towards the back of the place, which naturally is where I want us to sit... Wink

He told me yesterday, that his first name, Dayasindhu, means 'River of Mercy' in English (like, WOW! That's sooo sweet), and that he thinks we seem to be hitting it off well... OMG, can you believe it?!

:):):):):)Smile

I'm gonna get myself a haircut tomorrow for the first time in like four years. No, I won't take it all off, just even it out so my ponytail looks more ordered and not as worn and frayed.

Hope the moving-in business goes well for you.

*HUGS*

I've had my haircut (was fun. I bartered down the price from SKR339 to SKR250, hehehe!). I've showered, done all those things.

Now I'm waiting. Two more hours, just ONE more hour until I will leave my apartement. I know that's leaving way too early really, since I'd be waiting for anything between 15 to 40 minutes, but I hate being late, or risking running late (even though I'm not very good at being prompt). I would especially hate being late today, so I will make SURE I won't be.

Geez, I'm so worried he's going to stand me up... My stomach is all funny and stuff now, I sooo hope he won't stand me up!

Guess I'll know in about 2 1/2 hours if he's honest and really meant all the nice things he said or not...

At least you did what it took to find and meet someone and did your best. I'm so sorry it doesn't seem to have worked out, but it is experience and I'm proud of you for going through with it and taking a chance. Better luck next time, and there will be a next time if you keep it up!
