Allowing it to evolve

I’ve been fairly quiet about how things are going with Tel Aviv, mostly because I have a slightly superstitious streak when it comes to relationships. I don’t want to jinx things by blabbing when things seem to be going fairly well, and things with Tel Aviv do seem to be moving along quite nicely thank you, but then again I thought that about my relationship with Gobshite, I thought things were going marvellously and then he dumped me out of the blue, so what do I know? Clearly nothing!!

Despite my well known preference for keeping mum when it comes to relationships a few of my friends have recently started making far too many inquiries about how things are going between us. How do I feel about him? Can I see us staying together for the long term? One close friend even asked ‘do you think his mother will mind that you are not Jewish?”

Um, I haven’t a clue, I haven’t really thought about what his mother might think in the 6WEEKS WE’VE BEEN DATING. I’ve been far too preoccupied picking out bridal gowns and wondering what we will name our children!! NOT!!!!!!

Excuse my language, but what the fuck!! Clearly someone has far too much time on her hands if she’s busy pondering where my relationship is going and already wondering how his mother might react to my not being Jewish. She’ll be choosing herself a bridesmaid dress next. Somebody needs to get herself a hobby and sharpish!!

All in all I think its going as well as can be expected given it’s really only been 6weeks since we started seeing each other. I remember when I met him – it’s etched in my memory because it was on the same Saturday in early August that my friend Francesca almost got squashed by a roller skating Tim Robbins. We met when I bellied up to the bar at Park, just off Union Square on 15th street, to order drinks for myself, Francesca and Jacqui and he turned and started talking to me. The usually teetotal Tel Aviv now claims he only did this because he was drunk….on Corona Lights of all things. Charmed I’m sure!!

After that it took him another week to call and ask me out, so our first date wasn’t until towards the end of August, so when you think about it it’s been no time at all. So far I’m enjoying his company very much, he’s laid back, lots of fun and has a sarcastic sense of humour that I like a lot, but I’d say we’re still firmly in the ‘let’s see how this goes’ phase. I’m really not one for rushing things and like to let relationships evolve at their own pace, I’m certainly not one of those girls that starts wondering where things are going after a couple of dates. That being said things seems to be moving along quite smoothly so far, although of course now that I’ve actually written a blog post about him my superstitious streak is flashing warning signs that he’s probably going to dump me faster than hot shit off a shovel.

Only time will tell, but keep your fingers crossed for me!!
