Ok, here it is.

As some of you may have been aware I have developed a (unhealthy?) crush on a new (?) blogger. I am not one for blog relationships due to my life and how many of my serious scars are detailed on here. After all like I have said before it will be hard for any guy to sit across from me at dinner knowing some of the things he has read about me over the past year or so. However you may have noticed over the last few days this person getting under my skin.

Will I name him? That is his call. For now I shall call him exactly that .. Him.

Anyway.

Here is an excerpt from an email I received from him.

"Having just read your last post, I guess I've got something to ask you. :-)

Fancy dinner sometime?"

To which I replied in a very mature fashion of ...

"Fuck yes!!"

Not really.

I explained that while I would love to I will expect to speak on the phone first etc (most of you may have read back in my history on my adamant stance on personal safety). Also to be honest at this stage I was not really convinced he isn't someone I know as his posts run very similar to someone I know away from Blogville.

Soooooo after a nice. pleasant, respectful phone call I can assure you he is not someone I know but ....

* whispers *

Someone I am intrigued about getting to know.

I actually feel a bit sorry for him with some of you lot. Lets face it there are a couple of you here who are nicely protective of me and bless him, you will be watching him like a hawk.

Can I ask that you not. I mean, by all means, be yourselves but please let this (whatever it turns out to be) just run it's own course. I want him to feel free to tell his side of things good or bad etc (should he choose to that is) and not feel he needs to censor based on mob mentality. Am I making sense?

Now with all that said ...

What's for dinner?

Oh and who wants to volunteer for my safe call? ( has to be one of you that I have met in person obviously )

Now. Normally I would not ask and would just ramble whatever but I am aware sometimes my life involves others a little closer to Blogville so with that in mind I have a question.

Would y'all like to share a real life story line with me that will involve another blogger?

Play by play.

As it happens.

It may be boring.

It may be strange.

One thing for sure though.

It will be real.

p.s. If things go south do not fear about any 'crashing and burning'.

Edit: Deleted by Abi due to realising she is in a strange mood today.

Sorry.

I have sat here rather distracted today.

One of my faults is that I tend to lose myself into whatever I read.

You write, as always, with a power that touches places in me I keep dark to most people in reality.

Am I willing too much into it? I think maybe I am.

Ah well.

I guess there is something to be said for my grounded reality.

I guess.

Remember how I said that it would be nice for me to read about someone else's viewpoint of a night (or whenever) spent with me.

Well .. someone took my breath a little and wrote something.

Have I met this man before ?
