OK, so the little French guy came through on the plane ticket. I'm going to visit him for a week in August.
Talked on the phone yestserday for one and a half hours. He kept saying how excited he is, how much fun we're going to have, how he can't wait to see me, how he "can't wait any longer".... and I'm now feeling sure that he is not thinking of me just as a friend.
Omigosh, omigosh, omigosh, and I -- a grown, accomplished, amazing woman -- am now reduced to the level of a 12-year-old girl with her first crush!!!
I can't concentrate, keep thinking about him (and about doing "things" with him, if you know what I mean), and ACK! I'm a wreck.
What a fun thing to be a wreck about, though.
I am fully aware of the potential for new heartbreak here, and it terrifies me. But until that happens, I'm going to do my darndest to enjoy this!!!

(and about doing "things" with him, if you know what I mean) Yeah, ratatouille and creme brulee get me pretty charged up too. Don't forget it's a once in a lifetime trip to a great city. Go outdoors once in a while.

JimB -- yes, all that creme brulee! Oooh la la! Omigosh, I'm so excited and nervous and terrified and I'm trying to be calm BUT I CAN'T!!! What really got me was him saying he plans on introducing me to his friends! What? I was *not* planning on that. Now I have these horror visions of being assessed by a bunch of twenty-something/early thirties Euro-trash guys and girls in some impossibly hip and obnoxious and loud bar or club. (As nice as he is, I've gotten the impression that that's the kind of places he and his friends go to. Sigh.) ARGH -- I am too old for this!!

Thanks, ladies. And I do intend to have fun. I just hope it doesn't all blow up in my face.
I have to say, though, how do you know that I haven't done something like this before? Live a little? Omigosh, do I come across as that boring??? [well, I'm certainly technologically incompetent, I can't figure out how insert an outraged smiley icon here.]
It's funny about the never-done-something-like-this-before -- actually, I kinda have! About six years ago, I met a *different* French guy, this one nine years *older* than me. We had a relationship (or so I thought) for four months. He was living here, and he invited me to go to Paris with him for a week. (No, I do not know what it is with me and French men!)

ha, ha, apology accepted, hoodie!
super -- I hear you. If I were reading this about someone else, I'd be jealous, too! And yes, this is fabulous (or seems so now). But man, now that it's official, now that I'm out of the "safe zone" of only phone calls, ALL my insecurities are resurfacing. Every last one. I really feel like I'm 12. ARGH!!!
I'm also still so raw from the break-up that I am sooo terrified of getting my heart being shredded again. I know everyone here on the board realtes to that. It really is amazing how strong those fears are, isn't it? I know I'm (supposed to be) going over there with no preconceived notions and just to have fun -- but I wonder how realistic that really is. I get attached very fast if anything romantic is involved.
But yes, at this point, I'd rather have the Frenchie situation than not, I'll grant you that.
Deep breaths, deap breaths...
