I've officially moved and Pro followed through on his promise to visit and hang out with me. We had a good time and I was thoroughly impressed how even though he ran into a few travel hiccups, he made it a point to spend time with me. As in as much time as he had originally promised he would.
IT FELT GOOD to have someone show me how much I meant to him by spending a lot of time with me. Today alone we were together for eight hours!!! And he had other people he was supposed to see but he chose me.
He's leaving Saturday to go out of the country for SIX WEEKS!!! That makes me sad. Although I will probably need that time to get adjusted to work, I'm sure he won't be too far off my mind.
I'm going to try hard not to over think this time around because what I thought was a tragic ending the last time proved to be okay given that he still wanted to see me this time. Last night when he left he sent me a text telling me he had a great time. And today before he left, he told me he really enjoyed my company. It's probably just his personality but he and I have had a good rapport from day one and he obviously feels comfortable with me - he rummaged through all my cabinets and even made fun of my lazy food choices (ramen noodles).
Before we parted today we had a talk about the state of "us." He said he wants to see how things play out as we become good friends and I think that is the wisest decision we could have made no matter how attracted we are to each other. From what he said, it sounded like he took some things into consideration that I shared and I appreciate his concern. I really want to believe its sincere.And he's challenged me to read this book series so that he and I can talk more about his past.
When I broke up with The Graduate part of it was that what he said didn't match what he did. Pro says things and does them. It's that simple. And he doesn't just do it with me, which is what is nice. I was honored that he wanted to spend his last night in the states having dinner with me (its just too bad that I am leaving so we had to change plans)...
He shared that while he's away he anticipates a lot of change in his life in terms of the people he chooses to spend his time with. I can only hope that our friendship will continue to develop during this six weeks. And if it does, then I hope I can return the favor for him and go visit him next time.
I should have savored our hug more. But it was a good hug and I'll try to recollect it when I go to bed tonight. Man, he is an awesome man.
