Be careful what you wish for!!

So I've occasionally been told this glib truism - be careful what you wish for, you might just get it... Well on new years eve I met a girl, really nice girl, just my type appearance wise, totally into me - and I guess I can't help it - I'm totally into her too! whoa there Nelly... haven't I just liberated myself from a long term relationship? whats the game plan here? To be honest I've not got one. I don't think I'm quite ready for another relationship, but on the other hand this girl seems to tick all the boxes on my list (see previous post - the Great Relationship Checklist) so what should I do?

Well as it happens I think the universe is just toying with me - she's from SA (ok I've got previous with South Africans - but what the hey!), and already has a firm plan to return there in 3 weeks time, flight arranged etc. She's been living and working here for a year, and had always planned to go back on that date in 3 weeks - so this is just a fling before she goes home - at least I think that's whats going on. Hard to say - we really do click well. Its actually not been very often that I've met someone with whom I have so much in common, and even less often that they like me too.

So I guess all things considered she would have to classify as a f**k buddy - reasoning: due to the artificial brevity of our liaison I'm approaching it with the attitude of - lets have as much great sex as possible before you go back to Africa and then that's it - it was lovely meeting you; where as if there was the possibility that it might be a proper relationship budding here I would definitely be taking it much slower. I'd have to say for the record though that she is someone I could have had a real relationship with under different circumstances.

So at the end of the day I'll have to settle for some great sex and happy memories. (And boy is it great!)

Going back to the truism - I think its quite amusing that I put up my relationship wish list on December 30th and met this girl on the 31st! And it just proves the other point I made about if you don't specify something you probably won't get it - So my wish list needs revising to include "is single and available for a relationship" !

If this blog is really like a direct line to the universal spirit and anything I ask for I will get: then I would say the best outcome of this would be that in 6 to 9 months time she decides that she'd rather live in England after all and come back ; then we could start over again and take it real slow. Cheers God ;)

P.S. I've known her 10 days and already I've written a song about her! Sad eh? but there's nothing like a really stimulating situation to get the creative juices flowing. Thinking I'll try and record it and give her it on CD when she leaves - as a souvenir.
