Switching to SMS

In my reply to her last emails from yesterday, I now really decided to make it bold: I reply in very detail to everything she wrote. Then expanding into a short philosophical tractate about emotions. No word of our relationship – I feel this is not yet the right time. But the overall email got quite long. If I would plot the length of the emails over the past week, this would be an exponential curve.

It is Saturday, I have a few hours before I travel back home. Walking through the streets of this town that I am visitin, gives me lots of time to think what this relation is about. Is it a relationship? Or only an infatuation? We have not even spoken after our first initial formal meeting … Now we have each other’s mobile phone numbers, but should we actually call each other? It would feel somehow weird. I think we will just SMS a bit, until she is back from travel.

She will not be able to read my email until in a couple of days, so my long reply email that I sent yesterday just sits there unread.

And I do not want to add to the pile with more, want first to wait until she is back and had a chance to reply. So for the next few days, the relationship development will be halted.

At the airport, I get an SMS of her arrival at her destination. She visit her parents. Several smileys. Do they convey a false sense of feeling? In any case, I am very happy to read her brief message, and decide on my side to send her brief SMSs from all stages of my trip. So whenever I switch planes, I use the opportunity to SMS her a brief status note. With a smiley of course : )
