Rhubarb and custard

The title to this post means nothing! I can't think what else to call it.

The site I met G on has lots and lots of desperate men wanting to meet me! Whilst it can be flattering, there are really only 3 men I have actually replied to. Of course there's G. Then earlier this week this guy (J) messaged me yet again! He has a good profile on the site and I thought it looked like we actually had a bit in common. So I replied to one of his messages saying 'Well you are persistent, perhaps you had better tell me some more about you.' And he replied with this cheesy witty comment that actually made me laugh out loud. So I gave him my yahoo messenger address and we chatted Monday night. He asked me out and I told him that I was busy until Thursday and he told me he was flying out Friday. Turns out he is a businessman who travels the world living out of suitcases. Technically he is based in Melbourne, but doesn't spend a lot of time there. So we arranged to meet for dinner last night. I texted him yesterday morning with the name of a wine bar I had been trying to remember. An hour later he replied that he would have to cancel because he had 3 teleconferences to sit in on.

Well cutting a long story short, after I replied that that was a shame as I was looking forward to meeting him. So a short while later he texts me saying that he has managed to cancel his last teleconference and could meet me for a drink at around 9.30pm. He did give me an out if it was too late. I told him I would let him know closer to the time. I really tossed up whether or not I should go out so late, with me working at 8.30 this morning. Well... of course I relented and decided to meet him. I had been speaking to T on the phone when he messaged to say he was free.

Long story short, I was so nervous. He told me that I could not expect a relationship because he travels so much. I told him that a relationship is not what I am looking for (but who am I kidding!). Well it started off tentatively and the place we decided to meet at was closed so we walked to another bar. After a couple of gins it closed so we moved on. The next place I suggested had Karaoke night and we both said we had not had enough to drink. So we decided to head towards the Casino. By this stage he was holding my hand and I was tingling. A totally different feeling to G. We have a lot in common (music, good food, wine, failed marriage! LOL!) but he doesn't have kids. LOL. So walking towards the Casino we walk past a bottle shop and we both stop and basically say we could get take-away. So then it was his place or mine. I couldn't believe I invited him back here. I did think of G, but it really helped reinforce that G and I have not a lot in common, apart from the physical side.

I know J was flying out today (Melbourne then OS next week for a couple of weeks) but I also knew I wanted to spend time with him. As he said 'we both jut clicked'. So he came back here. We sat out on the deck and drank more gin and chatted and chatted. Then he kissed me and I melted. Let's just say my purity rating dropped a few notches! I told him last night on the deck that I don't do One Night Stands and he agreed, telling me that he was already trying to work out when he was coming back to Cairns. This morning I had to drive him back to his resort as he was flying out early. He told me how lovely I am and that he can't wait to come back to Cairns and that the way the evening panned out was in no way the way he had planned it or could have planned it.

Then tonight I got home from work to a lovely email from him. This morning he thought he might be able to get back to Cairns in late November. This afternoon it is later this month, very early next! I will admit that I really have feelings for this guy. He is lovely! Don't get me wrong, G is a nice guy too, but J and I have so much more in common.

What a tangled web we weave! LOL!
