Did'nt go the distance of the Journey

[Journey]

My Mom was on the bus going home from work and she met these French people. Being french too she gave them her contact information upon parting. During the conversation she mentionned to them her strapping young son... Moi. She gave the single girl my business card. How's that for having your mother as a wingman?!

She sent me an email, we hooked up, and went out about 5 times over a few weeks. We both liked each other. Then it came time for her to leave to go back home.

We kissed and snuggled over the time we were together. The night before she had to leave she came over to my place. I was suffering from strep throat, fever etc.. and man I felt like dung. I've also been thinking about another girl I was with which just ended a month ago. Maybe that had something to do with it.

Anyways .. in a nutshell I did'nt do it with her even though she may have wanted to. I didn't even try though because I knew it just was'nt going to happen based on the way I felt. We just kissed a bit and then she left.

Sure she might think I'm Mr. Respectful because we don't know each other that well etc.. but it would have been a better send-off. Se did say she hoped to see me again though. I will probably have opportutities to visit her because I sometimes go to her city to see the French side of my family.

Anyways do you think that she thinks I'm a drip? a dud? With no "Joi de Vivre"?

Time will tell, Journey. If she blows you off from now on, she was just looking to get laid and isn't the girl for you anyway. I know you're thinking about being more serious.

If she does take you seriously, the fact that you didn't nail her right away can prove to be a very good thing.

So are you going to call her soon? Does she have MSN or Skype or something?

(Edit: btw, this was my 5000th post)

You did the right thing. No sense in starting something that was going to end. If you meet again and you feel a closeness go from there.
