What can I say? Other than I must still have 'it'!
What is more worrying for me though is how quickly I started to fall for this guy proper. Now I have been analysing this and the first point to consider would be - Is it me? Do I fall for people too quickly? Am I a serial monogamist? After careful consideration I have concluded that it is not me. If this were the case I think I would have knocked up more than two long term relationships in my 33 years and these would lasted a lot less than a decade.
It may have been one sided. I may have liked him more than he liked me. I get the feeling this isn't true either as it seemed like one of those nights during which we totally relaxed considering we hardly know each other and just talked and talked with nothing out of bounds. This could have occurred due to him leaving in two days. Being aware that we were not getting started on anything and really have nothing to lose by letting all guards down possibly gave the illusion of sparks or chemistry.
I have to then consider that there is actually something between us. I don't really want to do this because I don't want to get involved with anyone and he flies back to where from which he came in 2 days. That said, there are some seriously strange similarities and/or coincidences. For example:
- We work for the same Authority albeit different fields
- We are of similar age
- We live in the same town
- etc etc etc
The above points are merely geographical and demographics at work. These are the largest reasons people will meet and enter into relationships (I am excluding CMC). Then other similarities started to become apparent:
- We have the same first name (this didn't become apparent, we already knew this)
- We have the same nicknames - Now you may think 'well you share the same name so yeah duh' but my actual nickname has nothing to do with my name and is quite unusual
- My favourite beach which I visit all of the time is one he chose to live overlooking for the past four years - This might not seem unusual but this beach isn't in the same County that either of us work in and have subsequently met etc. From his description I can identify his property as I know this area very well. It's not a popular visiting spot.
- Very similar music tastes and avid festival goers
- From similar families re number of siblings although he has far more nieces and nephews than I
- Religious upbringings although they are different faiths (I am now faithless)
There were several more but I really can't afford to get hung up on this because we did meet in his eleventh hour. Wasn't meant to be...
Or perhaps it is only because we are similar that I'm thinking there is more? Oh I don't care really... I got a shag at the end of the day!
