	[phew. is still relieved.] A couple of days. I can't take the credit for the food, I had a lovely woman cook it for me but the rest of it... I wanted something personal than a sit down served by people. Somewhere quiet were we can get to know each other better. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I would think it depended on how much contact you have with a person. Love is a fickle thing. You can't help who you fall in love with even if it is one sided. Once you separate yourself from them, over time the feelings will dwindle to nothing but if you are around them, one sided or not, it will still stay strong. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Thank you. You didn't seem like the type that would want to be swept off your feet in some whirlwind with dinner and dancing. You may be but it was just the impression I got. I felt something a bit more intimate would be for you. Someone who likes to visit a country to smell the scent of a flower that smell rotten, the typical romance is not everything they are after.

[shouldn't be after romance at all... but it's what she was told to do, how can she be blamed for feeling something for him? unless she was set up... looks thoughtful for a moment, thinking everything over while disgusting her thoughts with a few more bites of food before looking up at him, sneakily slipping her foot from her shoe and extending under the table, gently toeing up the length of his calves. the ultimate in flirty gestures!]
