Taking a Plunge

[Titivilus]

So, I haven't seen an update in a bit, and now I'm curious.

Merelypink, having read through some of your posts, you seem to have a sensible head on your shoulders. Having said that, I know very well how little that applies when attraction strikes.

To be honest, my first reaction was the same as most. I immediately determined that this guy is not ready to have you in his life in any kind of serious way.

After reading additional posts, however, I waffled a bit. There were many good points made, most specifically that he isn't afraid to appear in public with you.

But then I looked at your avatar. If that pic is actually YOU, then I can't imagine ANYONE being bothered by having you draped over their arm. So, that got me thinking again.

What I eventually concluded (and please, I don't know you in the slightest, speaking out of my proverbial asshole here), is that he MIGHT be the "right one", but perhaps he's just not there yet. I've been down that road myself, and it's quite a grey area.

The other big elephant in the room is that YOUR instincts flagged the situation with red, and in the end, I tend to trust instincts. Nature did provide the tools, after all, and we should definitely pay attention.

So, ultimately, I'm very curious as to the outcome.

How are things at this point?
