The bash!

Today is Tuesday. Last weekend, I went to my friend Greg's river house down in Virginia. It was very beautiful. It's a great vacation/rest house. He and his in-laws own the huge house and next door are his parents. They were all so funny and quite lively. Company was great. People from work and their wives and kids too (which only applies to some). Of all the people there, only 3 were single and we all occupied the same room by Saturday night.

Anyway, we had tons of food. BBQ, crabs, corn, pancit ... I learned how to jet ski. I know, kinda lame for not having had a chance to ride one before but I did have fun.

Saturday night was the most interesting though. This guy and I slept on the same bed. Same guy who I've been ranting about the past few blogs ago. It was nice. We cuddled. He was true to his word and controlled himself --no funny business he said, and attempts happened but was quickly apologetic afterwards. Which I thought was nice.

Part of me says that maybe this is the start of something and yet another thinks that he just wants hook-ups and will continue to string me along. My friends after telling the saga tells me to let it be, that the situation does not look right. The stubborn side of me refuses to think bad of him but yet again, there's gotta be some truth to my friends opinions --though their impressions are only casted through my own accounts of the situation.

I guess now, my thought is, if things don't go anywhere in let's say 2 or 3 weeks (and maybe that's being generous --but then again, I'll be away to California for a portion of that), then I'm going to have to talk to him about it. No, no ultimatum but just a statement of facts. "I like you. I don't like being strung along. I'm not that kind of girl and I deserve more respect than that. Something's holding you back, which you do not wish to share. That's fine if you don't but don't expect me to stick around and be set up for a heartache " ... kinda conversation. When will this conversation be? I haven't a clue.

He just needs to ask me out. He just has to. I'm not sure how to proceed. I'm used to knowing the guy first before liking him and with this guy ... well, its the other way around. Rob said that he is either still hung up on an ex-girlfriend, or he is seeing someone else and is trying to end things. I don't know. It's really all speculation right now. I should really just ask and not wonder anymore. We obviously are attracted to each other. The degree of which, I'm not sure about. One side may be more than the other which will make things a bit challenging.

And so the saga continues ... I really don't know what to do here. Any thoughts? Anyone? Anyone? *sigh* no takers. I guess I'll have to tread this new territory carefully. Wish me luck!
