It's been a busy few months. I've been much busier than usual with work, and just haven't had the time to think about writing here.
What can I say? Things are just really, really awesome with Sam. He's sexy... he's communicative... he's thoughtful. We just passed the six-month mark -- a huge milestone, especially when it comes to NYC dating!
Other milestones: we've now traveled to two other countries together -- he met me in Italy while I was there for work -- a quick, activity-filled 36 hour visit. (he was coming from a work trip in London, so it was a relatively short flight for him to see me there)
And last weekend, we had more of a "real" first weekend away together - he was back in London for work for the week, and I flew over to spend a long weekend with him there. He used to live there, and I really enjoyed letting him take the reins in terms of planning where we should eat and drink.
(as an aside -- oh my -- and drink we did! Long story short: jetlag + gin and tonics + rose + Aperol spritzers + champagne + espresso martinis = one bad, messy combination. Yes -- all that in one night. Oh -- and cigarettes. Neither of us are smokers, but on Friday night, it seemed like a good idea. Epic hangover the next day.)
It's kind of crazy -- I feel, in a strange physical way, how we're getting emotionally closer. And I don't mean in a sexual sense (though that's still fabulous). I guess what I'm trying to say is... I've been feeling the "L" word dance around my head. I'm not ready to say it yet -- and anyway, would prefer for him to put it out there first. But -- so unlike me! -- I'm not stressed about it at all. I feel pretty confident that it's imminent -- I just feel that we have a really good thing going here, and it's just going to continue getting better.
That's all. I'm giddy and happy and find that I miss him when I'm not with him.
Is it silly that I feel a bit guilty talking about him to my single friends who are having a tough time with the dating scene? More on that next time...
