Thanks to my angel in 904
I feel so good about things. I'm telling you, alwaysearching is such a gem! She helped me to sort through everything and see what I wanted out of this situation. We have made a three-step plan:
1) E-mail him for his birthday, as I would do for anyone else.
2) Wait for him to call me, as he said he would call me next.
3A) If he calls, tell him what I want.
3B) If he doesn't call, call him in December and arrange to meet him to talk in person and then tell him what I want.
Actually figuring out what I wanted was so cathartic. What I want is to have regular contact (not necessarily often, but on an ongoing basis) and the potential to see how things go between us next year when I'm not teaching, but snowboarding somewhere in Japan.
As toofareast pointed out, I'm a person of action. I need to decide on a course of action and then carry it out. I feel so good now that I know what I want and how to get it or, at least, how to see if I can get it. I don't want a serious relationship now. I need this time to myself, but he's so wicked that I want the chance sometime in the future to explore the relationship.
Thanks, you two, for listening and helping me sort my head out.
