Finding: The Key to Success

"But honey, why are you so demanding? You're never like this with your friends and family?", my lovely Charlie says on a cracked mobile phone when we go through the latest and greatest from Mr Sketch. And of course he is right. Isn't it curious what personality traits that suddently appear once you start being interested in a guy? Before this state occurs you can be just as easy-going, encouraging, sparkling and not-that-bothered. But as soon as you feel a little teeny weeny emotional about someone you become scared and easy to hurt. Hence a demanding and a bit stroppy character appears. A stropper, this is what we do NOT want to be. Lovely word though ;-). A stropping stropper.

The Mr Sketch-thing has improved. A bit because of my initial stropping though, which was partly also just being truthful. But the past days I have been a little sparkling star only. We had a cosy Friday evening with dinner and dvd chez moi. He had brought with him a film that I had to see if I was living in England: "Withnail and I". Which really was awfully cute of him. And today he called when he was in the area to see if I wanted to meet up for lunch. I liked that. Unexpected and very relaxed. (Plus he had a suit on and much as I know this sounds very not 2007, but hey, some men really do look fantastic in suits)

So from now on, I will be what they say in the super Swedish relationship drama from late 90'ies "Adam och Eva": Kåt, glad och tacksam. Translates to "Horny, Happy and Grateful".

Easy.
