I Would Walk 1000 Miles....

Perhaps not that much, but I did manage 17,000 steps today, according to my FitBit :-) And judging by the balls of my feet, it must be true ;-) No kidding, they actually really hurt, but then I was wearing my favourite Ash Boots...

I got up at 7:30am today, on a Saturday, eek! I had a lot I wanted to do. I did my chores and then rushed off to catch the train around 1pm. The guy I went on a date with last weekend wanted a second one (so did I), and he suggested going to Camden Market. I've never been, so I thought it would be great to go visit. 

The weather wasn't cold, but it was overcast and quite windy. The market was super busy, so we had a wander around and then went for a coffee at a nice place on the main round outside.

After that, we decided to go for a walk along the canal. We walked along the back of London Zoo- I actually took a pic of the back of the enclosure I could see and sent it to a friend- I never want to go back there after THAT trip back in September....

We walked a long way, but it was nice. We came out in Regents Park, which I've never been to either, and it was nice to take a few pics of the flowers.

After we parted, around 4:30pm, I took the tube to Piccadilly and decided to go for a 'browse'. As any girl would on a Saturday afternoon in town ;-) A nice sweater from Massimo Dutti later and I've vowed not to splurge any more this month! 

I was home by 8pm, and called into see Mum and Little B. I missed him ;-) I have dog-withdrawal symptoms when I don't see him! I get all gooey eyed when I see dog's walking about in the street!

I had a nice quiet evening, I needed some downtime. I texted him to thank him for a nice day, but as I write this on Sunday night, he has yet to reply!

And it's left me feeling funny! When I met him last weekend, I came home feeling really positive, as it's the first date in a long time that I've wanted to see again. He was very thoughtful, very down to earth etc, and more mature than some of the dates I've been on lately! I really tried to go in with an open mind, I really do want to move on. But somehow today I wondered whether we really had enough to really talk about. 

And I think in a way that he'd be the "sensible" choice. The one that would make a great partner etc, treat you nicely, but I'm not sure he'd excite me. And there has to be a spark. And I'm not sure if after two dates you're really going to feel that, but I think something is missing. And I'm thinking that he likely felt that way too. 

A friend of mine told me he was exactly the type of guy that I should see again, as in her words "you don't want the guy who's going to be irresponsible, you want somebody like this". 


Hmmm. I think maybe unconsciously I've always been attracted to the bad boys! The ones who you know deep down can't or won't give you what you want, so that makes them "safe". And then you feel sad when it all ends in tears, but really it was inevitable, because they were not what you needed. It's definitely not a conscious decision, but somehow we keep repeating it. 

Anyways, I miss T anyway. But hey ho, what will be will be.
