Casey, Casey, Casey... that boy!
If he would only dial his eagerness back just a few notches, I'd be much more comfortable and on-board with everything.
When we spoke on Monday night, he expressed interest in seeing me before I left for London. In an effort to avoid another request for a make-out session and ease the "pressure" I'm starting to feel with this whole thing, (and to allow myself time to workout and just relax before the chaos of international travel) I fibbed a bit. I told him I had to have dinner with my boss last night to discuss the strategy for my upcoming business trip to London and that tonight (Wednesday; I leave tomorrow) I'd be busy running errands, doing laundry and packing. His disappointment was obvious, but I told him how I hoped we'd email while I was away. He seemed content with that. I sincerely meant it - I do hope we can stay in touch while I'm gone.
Last night I was running around my house like a crazy woman doing laundry, sewing a button on my suit pants, and laying out my clothes when he called. I missed the call itself, but I was a little shocked that he called - especially at 8:15 (when I would most likely be at dinner). His message was nice, he was just calling to update me on something we had joked about on Monday night. But Jeez! I haven't even known this guy for a whole week and he's acting like we need to talk every day (which, if we were dating exclusively, I'd agree with). I didn't call him back last night (I actually WAS busy, and when I finished with my to-dos, I relaxed and read for a bit). Normally, I'd send an email today saying that I was sorry to have missed him, etc. but I'm going to wait 'til tonight to just call him back.
One friend thinks he's just eager and excited to have met someone "down to earth, grounded and sincere" (his words). Another friend says this clinginess is a yellow flag and I should proceed with caution.
What do you think?
