Wait

The problem when I kind of like a guy is that I easily get pulled in, which isn't a good thing, since I start building things in my brain.

I did enjoy the first date. I did enjoy the text messages we exchanged since then.

But for self-preservation's sake, I should remind myself that:

1. He didn't ask to see me again before he left for the US.
2. It takes him a while to respond to my messages, even when he starts it.
3. He's far away.
4. He's not my usual type.

I force myself NOT to message him first. And I've still been checking Tinder. And I'm just trying to look forward to some events later this month that could make me possibly see an old crush or two, who I hope are still single.

He has sent some messages since he got back to the US, but I guess the time difference isn't very ideal and the conversations haven't been so substantial. I know I should be patient, but what am I waiting for?

I just need to stop being fixed on Mr. San Francisco and just go on with my life.
