When & Where to make informed decisions....

Last night I sat at home and thoroughly enjoyed the texts I was getting from the WolvesWanderer while he is away on holiday. Now I had decided most reverently (I thought) that this particular guy was going to be firmly in the "friends box" - you girls know what I'm talking about. That place where all those lovely guys you meet and allow into your life go when they are no way going to get into your pants.

BUT - only a few nights ago I was telling a good friend of mine about an errand that this man did for me, out of the kindness of his heart. He travelled God knows how many miles out of his way to pick up something for me to save me the journey. And then, he drove it all the way to me at work. Talk about door to door service! Anyway - she said, "That's him, that's the man for you!". I was laughing at the time and said words like "Yeah, but I don't think I fancy him" to which she starting talking about Knights of olde and honour and quests etc etc! haha.

Anyway, my informed decision about him being in the "friends box" is now waivering.

Has she really swayed my decision I wonder?

He is a lovely guy and has a lot of genuinely pleasant qualities. He has a good job and has no prior kids (although he does have an ex-wife). So where along the line does just liking someone turn into fancying them? I'm wondering if I'm seeing things through rose-tinted glasses because of his kindness. But now he's being attentive even when he's not in the country.

Do you need to have some sort of physical contact to aid you in this decision...? (I've kissed him goodbye/goodnight and that's it).  Are you "allowed" to keep men 'on the boil' until you decide? I'm not sure how high that moral ground is or should be.

As a single modern woman, should I be thinking about the bigger (life) picture to help me make an informed decision?

And as for informed decisions about other life matters - career, time-management etc... Hmm, informed they are not as last night I found myself wondering if I could launch myself into the glitzy cheshire-set crowd as an amazing jewellery designer to the stars! Not sure if I was awake or just dreaming.... I think the pile of silver and jewels on the table in my lounge currently awaiting mega-stardom is a testament to that not happening any time soon. BUT - I do have a jewellery party to prepare for at the beginning of November and so - magick will hopefully be upon me and my fingers at the weekend.

Let the creative juices flow freely!
