L' E-Mail
So we have been dating for 2 weeks more or less, i am still shocked! OUI, 2 weeks in NYC means
2 years in another country...
So everything goes smoothly, we try to see each other every day, sending textos and calling all day and then you are thinking " waou, it is serious" but let's not forget i am from France and he is from the "US" THEY think differently!
i am pushing myself " relax ma fille, ( french expression) take one step at a time", ' ne mets pas la charrue avant les boeufs"= (translation more or less_) don't put the cart before the beefs! So hard, so hard! but am working on it...
Anyways, 2 nights ago we are chatting on messenger, talking about his day, my day, blabla. And while i am talking ( i am multitask! ) i am checking my e-mail and see i have received an e-mail from a guy on jdate! obviously, the tentation is too strong i go on jdate.com.
In the meantime, i am still talking to 'my date of the moment" or should i say ' the guy i am seeing" ( hmm, need to think about what is the most appropriate...).
I am checking out the guy ( honestly, it was really, ONLY curiosity and OK, i admit a little bit for my ego... this website thing gets you addicted, it is nuts! ) and i don't know why, how, i decide to check the profile of the " guy-date-whatever" let's call him B.
( i can't give his name because if he finds out about this site, he could just sent me back to the first base without earning the 20000 dollars = Monopoly game)
and i start to look again at his picture, hmm so cute... reading againg this essay...so smart... and keep reading so excited when all of sudden, I AM HORRIFIED! I see " last login" 1 minute ago: translation he was on the website 1 minute ago!!!!!!!!!
We are still on messenger and i am trying to calm myself down, maybe he has good reason! YEAH RIGHT, like i had a good reason to go on jdate.com it was to see who sent me an email, but hey it is different! and he doesn't have to know anyways!
So out of the blue ( i couldn't hold my tongue) i asked him "have you been on the website site recently' and he simply responded "yes today" like it is normal and i couldn't help it ( i have known him for 2 weeks! i am pushy, i know but i can't help it, it needs to be said!) and started to ask questions" why, how, what for, etc..." and then all of sudden after answering my questions, he wrote " and you when was the last time you were on the site? he took by surprise, i could still feel myself blushing ( the good thing about messenger he can't see me OUF!!!) and i say " hmm, today too!" and he goes so you see "we are on the same page especially since you have been on the site 2 minutes ago!"
My words fail and for once i just shut up and say " 1-1" the ball is the center and then he wrote a BIG LOL... i am relieved! However, we told each other no more jdate!
Am i going to succeed? hmmm it is another question.
p.s; FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO KNOW WHEN I UPDATE MY "ADVENTURES", E-MAIL ME AND I LET YOU KNOW!
I hate to admit it, but I`ve been following "The Adventures of Fifi" too, (Your adventures, in other words) and I have to admit that I want e-mail updates, so send 'em.
I already got to know one French girl fairly well over the internet. I never met her but we occasionally link to each others sites and we e-mail each other some.
When she went to New York she loved it.

This is too funny. I have had similar experience. But what is even worse, is that I went onpline and saw the guy that I was seeing was on-line and there was his profile right next to my ex-husbands profile. And he was also on-line. I thought I would get sick!
