Thank you for all your lovely words guys. Really means a lot.
*hugs* I'm sorry to say this, but usually if a man is interested, he will make time even if he's really busy. And if a guy doesn't pursue you like you're the wonderful, beautiful, irresistible woman that you are, he's not worth
your time. I hope you'll only provide your own precious time and attention to the one who makes you feel that special to him.
And you never know, if you do leave him alone, he might start to notice your absence and realize, "Ah, she was really great to have around. Why haven't I heard from her?" and shape up. So I think backing away some is a good idea.
I'm such a "honey, he's JUST NOT THAT INTERESTED" kind of girl as well!!! First thing I would say to a friend in them circumstances. However.....heheh....the facts:
a) he took 3 hours out of a busy day to come all the way into the city to meet and talk to me and then go back again
b) he's willing to do this again if I want to talk more
c) he's offered to come all the way over to ANOTHER city where I work to talk at a seminar which really would make me look good
d) he's given me an open invitation to call him (about work...or other stuff...) anytime
e) his usual pattern is that he replies to my emails or calls me back the moment he sits back down at his desk and sees it - so no usual lack of attention!
I can't remember when he said he was off on holiday either...so that might be it LOL
However, i showed the email chain to one of my close friends (who is so logical and pragmatic that I wonder if she isn't really a man) and she said that she thought the last email I sent was a conversation ender i.e. she wouldn't have responded to it - no need to. Whereas I'm a "send a witty little one liner just to keep things going" kind of emailer.
Hey Jay
I finnally finished reading your diary...Wow you are one amazing women congrats on all that you have achieved so far, I am certain you will reach your goals!!! Your diary is very inspirational and I will keep reading it!!! Keep it up!
Jeepers, I'm IMPRESSED with your stamina and staying power to have read through all 23 pages of this drivel!! Thank you for your post! I'm slowly working my way through everyone elses diaries here too
He might have just not noticed the email, or read it in a hurry and thought I'll reply later, then completely forgotten coz it shows up as read not unread and now he thinks you're the one not talking to him? Yeah I'm talking from experience here
You never know, give it another couple of days/weeks and send a completely unrelated email like you weren't even expecting a reply to the other, it could be he didn't realise you were expecting a reply.
And by the way, you look amazing in that picture!
Aww redpiggy thank you for the advice - I will be getting in touch with him but will probably leave it until after my holiday or email just before and then when he replies he'll get my out of office reply!! And thank you for the compliment - I felt great in those new clothes but its lovely to have it reinforced by all of you guys too!
I just had to say, I read your diary and it is very inspring!! Thank you for taking the time to write it and congradulations!
Lovely to see you here AnaNoel and I'm really glad you found it inspiring - still can't believe that I could possibly have that affect on anyone else - I think I'm far too pathetic and weak willed to be an inspiration but what the hey, its a lovely thought
And finally, Val - would love to meet up some day...maybe we'll go for a run!! If I'm ever in Majorca!!
Right, I'm off for a soak in the bath and then will come and post galore and catch up with journals as I drip dry!!
