When to start dating again?

Taye

Hmmmm....

Just had a text from Dave

He's just been offered a contract, it's down south and would involve him living down there for a whole month

Gutted!!

Here i am barely able to contain my self having to wait to see him tommorrow... never mind a whole flipping month... (yeah i know im pathetic.. i feel about 14 atm)

He's asking me if he should take it?? what the hell am i supposed to say??

well absence supposedly makes the heart grow stronger:cool:

skintmumof3

tell him yes, and he can come and stay with me.........
as long as he does my gardening etc.......
where will he be staying????
hold on to him hun, he sounds too good to let slip through your fingers.........
its a wonderful story... real mills and boon. stuff.
but you have seriously got to let him go........ down south i mean...lol

personally I think he should take it. A month is nothing. If it was 6 months or a year that would be an entirely different matter.

I know it's not great timing but you can still keep in regular contact and also probably visit at weekends. Maybe you and the boys could drive down one weekend and see him or something like that. It would be an adventure in itself. (I'm also biased as I live 'down south' and it's lovely down here. I bet the boys would love it. )

I know he's got plenty of money but he won't have if he doesn't work when he gets the chance and with the current climate it might be a while before he gets any more.

I think it's nice he's asking your opinion. He must think an awful lot of you Taye xx

I've already texted him telling him he should go still gutted though but i know it wouldn't be fair of me to make him stay.

He might not take it anyway, if it's not right for him.

Talk about it later over a cuddle.

It could be really good for you - there are weekends - plus PHONES, lots of chatting without wandering hand issues.... plus a lot of contracts will allow some home-working so possibly it won't even be five days. You have to have a relationship around normal life and in a credit crunch you can't turn down work, turning down work and leaving your fledgling relationship as his sole occupation sounds a lot of pressure. Besides gives you a month to get those boys off to scouts so you'll have a free evening once a week....

Good for you for supporting Dave. Tell him again tomorrow, but also let him know that you will miss him - I think that is what he is wanting to hear.
As BrokeBrunette says he may suggest an "adventure" weekend down south in the middle of it; or you could suggest it. I know I would be over the moon if my girlfriend suggested being prepared to drive so far to be with me.

And remember half term is less than a month away so if you arent working then you could potentially see him for a week down south? so it would possibly only be 3 weeks where you didnt see him.
