Unicorn. Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Oh, he's not clueless. He knows exactly what he's doing. He's playing the shy, quiet, type, AND he is giving her time to heal, AND he wants her to make the first move. That way he knows she's ready for a relationship, and doesn't screw it up by moving in too soon. That man is smart! Go get him Michelle!! Michelle and the pilot, sittin in a tree, K-i-s-s-i-n-g!

You think her narrative will go anything like this? "As he amble twoard her with an easygoing stride, he came into the touch of the dappled sunlight and she could see him clearly. He had a rugged, granite look to him. Dark brown hair tumbled over a high forehead. A confident sloping nose, a hard line of mouth, dark eys and a chiseled jaw all complemented his square, handsome face. His big hands gripped the polished porch railing as he focused on her." :lol::lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleepy Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Ok. I'll ask him to dinner. But I can't do it NOW because it's almost 11 pm and the man is a pilot and most likely has to fly in the morning. So, if it's ok with the rest of you, can I wait until I see him Sunday and do it in person? Email or phone seems chickeny. Oh, my goodness! I wasn't around for this conversation last night, but I just wanted to add my silly little self to your cheering section. Good luck!

Mom2legomaniacs Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I missed all this excitement last night! WOW!!!! A few thoughts. I think he is interested. (duh!) Since he is older and more mature, he is behaving as thus. If he knows about your past a bit, he will be acting very kind and being very patient in order to test the waters and gauge your reaction. Totally agree with the invite for dinner. And I hope you have a spectacular time. This is very lovely and I wish you all the blessings that you so deserve, dear.

OnTheBrink Posted September 18, 2008 Author Share Posted September 18, 2008 You guys are making me giggle. LOL Lasagne is good, but I know he really likes scallops and steaks. Should I stick with lasagne or dive in for the kill with the scallops? And, I did consider blogging about this, but I have no idea how he'd feel about that and I even hesitated posting the situation.

He's even seen some of it first-hand--mostly the verbal abuse, and of course, he saw how torn up I was when I filed and all the aftermath of that. You're probably right--he's treading carefully. This is all very odd. I've never had anyone tread carefully around me, for good reasons, I mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich with Kids Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 For Sunday: Attach camera to DD's head and fashion her hair in an up-do.

LaMere Academy Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Is he interested in you??? It sounds that way to me. If you aren't interested in possibly starting a relationship, dinner probably isn't the way to go. If you are, I'd say it's perfect :D Barb My thoughts exactly. If you're not interested then I'd give him a card with a gift card to a general place like Target or Walmart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok - now that we are living vicariously through you - (and I love my dh dearly, but who doesn't love a little romance?!)...we need to decide on details... What are your thoughts on the meal. I am thinking Ree's lasagna and cake are great ideas, along with her buttered bread and some salad. What will you wear? Casual - jeans and nice t-shirt. A little more dressy? - khakis and a blouse. Music in the background? Barry White, while good, might send the wrong signal, KWIM? Classical? Jazz? Christian? Think, girl Entertainment? Movie after dinner? a walk around the neighborhood? Coffee on the back porch? I just wanted to give you some things to think about until the BIG DAY. Anything else you need? We are here for you, dear!
