Conversation went something like this....
Him...I have to submit this application in Canberra on Friday. Have you been to Canberra?
Me...No. Ive not. This is my first time south and no actually thats a lie. I think I went there once on the way past to get to Melbourne. It was 5am so I didnt really see much.
Him....There are some lovely places in Canberra, I could show you if you like?
Me...Oh. Really? When were you going?
Him...About 11ish Friday morning.
Me.....*furiously thinking to myself...ok that gives me time to drop kids at school and head to where he is, go for a drive *in that prius thingy??* submit his application, ok I might not be back by the time school finishes but thats not too bad, Hang on a second*...........I says outloud, HOw long does it take to get to Canberra?
Him...Oh a couple of hours. 3, maybe 4.
Me....When did you think you might be back again?
Him....We could stay down there for the night, see some things in the afternoon, dinner in the evening and how about that lazy latte on saturday at a gorgeous little cafe, liked we talked about initially?
Ok people, so now im in a position. I love him. He asked me out. But overnight? Is overnight a date? Or is it a proposition. He drives a prius, thats got to make him conservative right? Not likely to jump a girl on the first date? Rd, you said they take a while to wind up....?? Would Tasmania even be open for logging by then??
That conversation came at the end of a three hour chat about, again, all manner of things. I love him. I cant even say in your face to Jayne yet cos I havent worked out if it was a date offer or a propositioning.......If its a date, then I can say in your face, if its a propositioning, I guess she can. Why am I even friends with her?
Hey, just cos it might be a proposition, doesnt mean he doesnt want to 'date' me as well right?

Hmm, sounds like a Date, but an overnighter, even I got to know my friend for two years before a proposition. and it didnt come from me.
ReplyDeleteNow one does want to make sure that one hasnt got the spelling mixed up,
If the intentions are good then all will be well, if they are not then things could go pear shaped.
Canberra is a long way to get back from,
The date is the morning Latte by the sounds of it,
The drive is for the company,
and the over nighter, well,ask if he will pay for accomodation and seperate rooms, if he says of course he will, then you can decide what you want to do while on the way there, you do not have to take the sepearte room, however the offer will be there,
if there is no offer of a seperate room then it is a proposition, and Jayne has every right to In your Face.
Good on you rd, I had just spent the morning deciding I wouldnt go. Now youve given me a different perspective, maybe I will reconsider...
