Well, the weekend was weird! (So weird, it's taken until Wednesday to write about it here...)
It seems I totally got the wrong end of the stick with Dubai chappie. Well, not quite. We both went to work do on Friday night and drank far too much (everyone did! Work provides us with far too much free alcohol!) Daughter was with her Aunt for the night, so I was a free bird, but not sure whether that was good. I ended up far away from work do, in the Hatchet with our head of Project Management (and Sam). Strange, strange...
Anyway, turns out Dubai chappie is not in the running for a relationship, apart from the physical side nudge nudge wink wink. Anyway, we had an honest chat and I'm not sad we're not taking things any further, on getting to know each other better I think we were not really compatible...
After this turmoil I had a lovely weekend with Parents, and Daughter, beautifully relaxing.... and we sang lots of songs from Oliver! ... I like that...
Got back to work and had a strange, heart-to-heart with Michael. Very strange, but the outcome - for now - is that I am going to look into cognitive behavioural therapy techniques. I think they can help me overcome some of the problems I've had with relationships (private and professional) in the past and at the moment, so although it feels weird, I'm actually feeling strangely positive. I wouldn't have thought Michael would be the person to help me through this stuff, though. That makes no sense.
