Goodness gracious. I just received the loveliest email from a former poofer of mine. He was the first guy I slept with after my relationship with my bf ended this spring. I'd met him at a trade show, and he was cute and let his interest be known both during the show and immediately afterward, so after my breakup a couple of weeks later, I emailed him back. We started talking for three weeks, really intense, deep conversations, for hours at a time.

Then I went to see him at his family's cabin in the mountains. We both drove 5 hours to get there since he lives 10 hours away from me. Had a wonderful time. Romantic, fun, sexy ... great weekend.

But he pulled away immediately afterward. I pursued a little, he pulled back even more, talking vaguely about trying to come see me later that summer. I finally contacted him one final time a few weeks after our weekend fling, then I stopped trying. Never heard from him again.

Lo and behold, he sent me the most thoughtful email today. There is a trade show coming up in a couple of weeks. He emailed me to ask if I might be there, and if he could possibly see me during the trade show.

Wow. Such a nice guy. So kind. So thoughtful. Said he's sorry he hasn't contacted me since June, but he has just been so very, very busy with work.

My heart is going pitter patter. I feel so fortunate he decided to reach out to me again.

You should get on that scully. Maybe he just needed time to think things over and decide what he wanted for a relationship, and now he's ready to commit to you!!

I get the distinct impression that you don't want to be this guy's Trade Show Squeeze?

Aww, how romantic! It's just like the end of the "40 Year Old Virgin"! I hope you two will invite me when the wedding bells start ringing.

I told my girlfriends that he was, alas, in the bottom 20th percentile of lovers. If he was in the top 5th percentile, he might have a fighting chance.

Dare I mention he scored high on the essay exam, but the oral portion of the exam left much to be desired?

LOL...Thank goodness you put the last part or else even us who know you were starting to yell by the end of this post going NOOOOOO Scully....you know why he is being so nice!!!!

But alas...you are a smart cookie and know he's only after that cookie!

Glad things are going well with you and your guy (And he knows you don't share!)
