I was supposedly to have a date this afternoon, but this guy has a meeting scheduled (last minute) in the afternoon, so he left a message to say sorry. Actually I am half-hearted about meeting and was glad it was called off. There were several reasons, one of which I think I found someone whom I have a higher interest in. We met online and well, after a couple emails, he gave me his mobile no. and I thought to be fair, I should give him mine too. Actually I wanted to give him mine, hehe, so that he can text me back. So we started some texting for 2 days now, nothing really much, just asking each other how’s your day. Yesterday night, as he was being chased out of the internet café that he went to, I wasn’t expecting him to call. But he did. And with such a bright cheery hello that made me laughed. We said hello and had some light conversation. He was walking home and saying hello to some passer-by as well. It was funny, he told me it was someone he used to know at his workplace. He entered the lift, and said the phone would probably get disconnected and asked me to hold for 2 seconds, but time went by so fast, I didn’t realise. He said I sound like a really nice person, and I had the guts to say, I really am. Haha. He said he wanted to go out for coffee with me someday, I said ok. (then I really wanted to give him the impression that I am really interested to go coffee), so I said, yes, (here I stammered because I didn’t wanted to sound aggressive, yet wanted him to know I wanted to go out with him) I want to meet you for coffee someday. He probably mistook my interest as nervous, and reassured me it’s just coffee. Of course it’s only coffee, silly…(I didn’t tell him that). Now, he did not asked me when can we have coffee, he just left it at that, and I got disappointed. After months of trying to date, or getting back into the dating scene, this is the first time, I met this guy who does not ask me out immediately after the first few emails. I am wondering why…but I know. He told me earlier thru msn that he wanted to be honest and said he is also talking to 3 other ladies and this is all a new experience for him. I think he wanted to take it slowly. Now, I am happy that he is being honest, and after knowing this, I don’t know what to think, but I’m not a competitor when it comes to relationships. I believe that competition is best left in the sporting arena.

In any case, I think I’m just gonna wait till he ask me out. We said good night, and I am so used to typing in words “sweet dreams” that I blurted it out, and he laughed (not at me, I think, but how I said it) We said bye and hung up. I haven’t felt so happy talking on the phone for a long time.

What now? After the conversation, I am so excited that I told Francis online about it. He taught me how to ask him out, and lay a bet that he will call me within the next 2 days to fix a date. I said really, I hope so. Then I said, maybe I should say “hey I’m returning my books today in town, would u like to have coffee?” Francis said it is a brilliant idea…maybe I will do it on Monday. Heehee.
