it just might be that he missed me...

... even if it's just a lil...

but i'll take that. i'll take whatever i can.

it was a pleasant surprise to see my family friend's setup come online. and even more pleasant when he IMed me. we began a friendly banter where i kinda took a dig at him not being around...

family friend's setup: harlow
jo: hey stranger
family friend's setup: whoa just 'coz haven't seen u for some time i'm now a stranger
jo: hahaha! out of sight out of mind?
family friend's setup: thanks for reaffirming that i'm so forgettable

then we did the quick catch up on what we've been up to and how we spend our time during the week.

family friend's setup: try and fit in other friends
family friend's setup: sounds like i don't even fall into that category

hmm i took it as a hint that he was "missing" me.

jo: you do!
jo: but you're so busy
family friend's setup: that's your assumption
jo: last time you said that you'd let me know
family friend's setup: it's funny how we just assume that
jo: so i'm letting you let me know

that was my way of saying dude you gotta step it up.

so in the end we decided the only mutual free day of the week we had was wednesday. next wednesday i'm supposed to meet my good friend (who is unfortunately very flaky) so i scheduled my family friend's setup to the following wednesday.

unfortuately he's bad at anything planned 2 weeks beforehand so i guess i'm not holding my breath either. but it was decided that i would remind him nearer the day. well we'll see what happens.

but something has to be said bout actually being excited at having an IM conversation with him as opposed to one with the guy based in missouri who i was chatting with at the same time.

i don't know... i just feel like it would have been good if i felt chemistry with the guy based in missouri 'coz he's just "right on paper" (minus the whole pesky long distance thing) and i know he would treat me well. but dammit if as yet i can't seem to be attracted to someone like that.
