Ins and Outs…

If you have been following my French adventure – here is an update…

I have continued to be surprised by my Frenchman. He is honest, polite, sincere…He is in touch daily. We see each other pretty regularly out of work. I had the opportunity to see him last Sunday, Monday and Wednesday. It is really nice to have someone to look forward to seeing at the end of a hard day…and trust me – these days – work is NOT a pleasure. Know anyone who needs a bright, witty and hard-working marketeer? Apologies for that commercial moment – I digress!

While the “going out” formalities didn’t really occur much this week – which was more because I was on such a crazy schedule – it is lovely to just see what “being” with someone who wants to see me as much as possible is like. As this is truly a first.

Gents I have dated in the past have normally not wanted to make seeing me as much as possible a priority – one typically made time to see me once a week – another would fit me in between gigs and friends. Others just haven’t lived in the city, which makes spontaneity and daily routines impossible.

I do enjoy spending time with him…although, I do have some reservations – as he is fresh out of a long-term relationship of 5 years. I think he has begun to realize that by initiating spending so much time together and creating a routine – he is entering something new…something, one might possibly define as committed. And so – this week, I have begun to sense that he is trying to figure out if he is ready to enter something new…and trust – I am trying to figure out if I want to enter this with him too.

There is so much that I really like about him – and could easily love about him.

Is it possible to not feel committed when spending a lot of time with someone who is also intimate with you?
