5 months of text messaging "foreplay" HeartbrokenDingo: the longest 5 months of my life. It is getting ridiculous. The man is making me crazy. I posted about this a while ago and everyone advised me to just ask him out. Except Lumpy. Lump advised jumping naked on his trampoline and seeing if he called the cops...if he didn't, he was a keeper. ;D
I finally did ask him out, in a round about way. I told him that my brother's Irish Pub was opening up one last time for St. Patty's Day and that the proceeds were going to charity. I asked him if he would like to go with me.
He told me that he wouldn't be back in town until after 11:00 p.m. and that he had his kids that weekend, (ages 14 & 18 ), but to have a great time.
Ok. No problem. After not hearing from him for two days, come Friday night, I decided just to stay in and not go to the pub. Low and behold, out of the clear blue sky he sends me a text message...."Happy St. Patty's Day" was all it said. We ended up "talking" via text for 3 hours. Turns out, he was on a plane when he sent the message. We continued texting all through baggage claim, and all the while he drove home.
I'm not convinced that he didn't send the message just to see if I was "out" on the town. He's done it before.
We have done this for 5 months now. We'll go for 2,3, sometimes 4 days and not have any communication at all, then WHAM, we talk non-stop and banter back and forth for 2-3 hours at a time.
It happened again last night. He deliberately set a trap for me and I fell right into it....hook, line and sinker. >:( We were texting, and I knew he was in chicago. I asked him where to next, (he travels all week long and is only home on the weekends) and he tells me "home tomorrow night, then Sidney on Friday." Then he up and says,
"Not bad at the Hilton in Naperville".....
::)
He deliberately said it knowing me and my investigative nature. Naturally, being the dipstick that I am and not being one to turn down a challenge, I tracked him down to the very hotel he was in and found out that he was registered. So I sent him a text message and said,
"So, I've heard....Naperville...phone number....located in Lisle, or perhaps Lysle I believe....cute, smartass."
He immediately replied, "Yep, too much searching time on your hands?"
>:( He nailed me.
I told him. "Not at all. I actually love a challenge. What you sent to me was a dare."
He replied, "lol".
I then told him, "You are a smartassed, muleheaded instigating ass."
He replied, "Lmao"
My friends say he must be interested but they all want us to quit texting each other and actually start "getting busy". There's no reason that neither of us can't, we're both divorced. I'm just not sure he's ready. He went through a very nasty divorce about 8 years ago and I've heard that he's still pissed.
On the other hand, I feel like he's just string me along and my idiotic self is letting him. I couldn't sleep last night for thinking about this guy!! >:(
Re: 5 months of text messaging "foreplay" jillieb44: Five months and you haven't met? Every time you suggest it he's 'out of town'?
Something's fishy in Denmark.
10:1 he's married.
Aren't cellphones supposed to be off during flight?? Was he really texting from his plane? And how do you text while driving?!

Re: 5 months of text messaging "foreplay" HeartbrokenDingo: Oh we meet all the time...he's always in my store buying laptops and all other kinds of toys. He lives exactly one minute from my door. His neighbors are very good customers as well. They're the ones that initially brough up the subject of he & I getting together.
Even they're sick of us texting constantly. She even said, "Why don't you guys just go on and sleep together and get it over with?"
No, he's definitely NOT married....this I know for certain.
As for the flight, he had just landed. As for texting while you drive...he's got one of those fancy assed phone combination PDA things...
This guy's good.....
Re: 5 months of text messaging "foreplay" HeartbrokenDingo: I just can't get a read on him. In late January, early February he was sick off and on with what he thought was a stomach virus. Me and several of the girls at work told him to go to the doctor. He refused. Well, the hard-headed mule ended in the hospital for a week!!! He had to have and emergency appendectomy! To make matters worse, because he waited so long, he had developed gangrene in his intestines!!!
We sent him flowers and I personally sent him a cookie bouquet and a card and even went to the hospital to see him, but chickened out at his door.
He's just now getting back to 100%. A week after he got out of the hospital, I called him at 11:00 p.m., yes called, not texted. One of my employees cars wouldn't start and my hood was frozen so I couldn't give him a jump start. I called him and he was at my store in 3 minutes flat. We couldn't get the employees car started but as he rolled up the cable he came right up to me and acted like he was gonna kiss me. Even the employee said it looked like something was going on between us.
That same night I sent him an e-mail and told him exactly how I felt about him. He never responded to the e-mail, but he also has not broken off communication. My friends said that if he wasn't interested he would have run screaming in the opposit direction when he read the e-mail.
pardon the spelling mistakes but I'm getting all worked up about this.... >:(
Re: 5 months of text messaging "foreplay" jillieb44: Can't tell you then. You'd have thought if he were interested he'd have called, asked you out, something in five months.
Something still sounds fishy.
