It’s been a rough few weeks. Very rough. Work has been difficult to say the least and I have been travelling way too much. I know alot of people think it is cool and glamorous to be a jet setter but let me assure you it loses its lustre quickly and you start to long for your own bed and fridge. [Those are the 2 things in my house I miss most =] but most of all its been emotional. And I am not that good at emotional. 
k
I have been continuing this game with Suspect. The bottom line is we [officially] live in different countries and we both travel alot for our jobs. While this allows for variety and a sense of urgency when we are in the same place it also leads to huge phone bills and a vast amount of ‘away games’. Maybe this would be so much easier if we were home… The other day he sent me ‘Good morning / noon / night honey! Whichever one is appropriate for wherever you are! Kisses’ It was both sweet and sad at the same time. I mean.. how real is a relationship based on text?
Now I can’t deny that somehow this man thrills me, even over the phone, like I haven’t been thrilled in a long, loooong time. No matter where I am or what I am doing, the sound of his ringtone gets my heart and pulse racing. I keep reminding myself that he is a player and yet I run with it daily. Last weekend he sent me a message from inside a club in Tokyo telling me how wild and fun it was. I hadda report him to players headquarters. Who texts a girl while in a club full of foreign beauties!! LOL!!
On the other hand tho, I have come to love and look forward to his texts. Its almost like we speak a code now. There are the serious and supportive ones before presentations etc., the horny ones in the middle of the night and even the sappy ‘you are on my mind / I miss u’ ones. Every now and then my rational, logical self takes over and says stop this foolishness but then I hear his ringtone somewhere deep in my handbag and I go after it again….
SIGH!!

Tis a ‘in the meantime man’ enjoy it for what its worth
Got to agree with CrankyP there. “I the meantime’ guys are a reminder that you are still searching and help you identify what you need most. You just need to know when the ‘meantime’ is over and its time to go after what you really want.
aaawwww new love, seems to be commonplace with our little circle of bloggers from the outspoken to those who dropping hints.
i hope he’s not no in the meantime man yaaah, a player doesnt have to play all his life….
It used to be that relationships based on sex was an issue…these days it’s relationships based on text. Technology taking over. I agree with Cranky.
CP: say it aint so.. say it aint so… I want it to be real
Welcome Truly Golden. make urself at home
Irie Diva: i love ur patois. makes me miss Jamaica…
Scratchie: I was making a funny… ‘based on text’ but technology really taking over [refer to my previous unprotected text post lolololol]
What a tangled web we weave. The rational IS prolly knows he’s an In The Meantime Dude…but emotions are very rarely rational, so what happens when she starts falling for the ITMD?
Enjoy it, but be wary…one day you go to bed fully in control of your feelings and the next morning you wake up in love with a dude and not quite sure how you got there.
I feel you on the traveling thing. It was one of the things I hated about my last job. You’d get home dying for a night in and a homecooked meal and all your friends would wanna go eat out. :*
The fun is in the thrill, of the unknown, cross that line and it becomes blue tears don’t your cheeks
Aww! That’s so sweet! I guess everything has its downside. I guess you like Suspect’s player ways because he could be snapped up at any time, and you like the challenge of taming him.
I confess that I hope Irie Diva is right. Playas settle down eventually, trust me I know. I hope he is the one for you for evah, and evah and evah…
Goodness…It sounds like a drug sweetheart. then again, you’re young and not in a position to really have the traditional style relationship that comes with going to your own house every evening. i say to have fun with it, but always with the idea in your mind that this isn’t all there is for you.
Sounds dangerous, like yu can’t reallly trust him. He could hurt U, an’ yu wouldn’t deserve that ’cause yu so into him an’ only him.
Hmm looks like someone’s getting to you heart!
Intoxicating, isn’t he?
So are you gonna keep sending me random Happy Holidays msgs via Facebook or are you gonna update your blog?
C’mon, it’s been almost a month. Hmmpfh!
lol @ SE.
@ Kat: intoxicating indeed
