OK so part two.
Part one is here in case you missed it:
http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=51305.msg1659298#msg1659298Flew home the following day, expecting to never hear from her again. I don't remember whether it was the same day, or the day after but she messaged me on facebook, just a friendly hello and I replied of course and we got to chatting. And we chatted a lot. Most days for the coming two or three weeks.
We just hit it off, there was something really exotic and interesting about her that I found intriguing. She spoke good english, but not perfect - you could almost hear her accent through the words on the page - which I liked a lot. She had an incredible knack of saying just the right things to get my attention -flirtatious but in a really classy way, yet she never gave away too much.
During this time I was on a massive heater, getting the lot, and yet she was making me want to do something different and escape. I'm always on the look-out for other things to do apart from poker to keep my life balanced and have other things in my life, gain new experiences etc and she provided the perfect escape. The swingy relationship I have with online poker was at a low point - so much so I was barely playing during the week and just living for the weekends almost.
She wanted to see me, I wanted to see her. She lives in Tallinn - a place I've for a long time wanted to visit (My Mum has raved about it for ages and it sounded really charming). So I had more than enough reasons to go.
She invited me to come for 3 days thursday until sunday (the last 3 days as I write) and about a week ago - I booked the flights and a hotel she suggested near her apartment!
I'm a pretty spontaneous guy - if there's something I want to have or do, if there's no short term obstacle or any immediately obvious long term downside then I pretty much always go for it. E.g. Getting a cat was a decision I made pretty much on the spot and 2 days later I had one and getting a tattoo I decided to get when drunk in Thailand and 2 hours later I had one
So it's in my nature to be a little crazy like this, but this was almost a new level! I figured what's the worst that can happen? It doesn't work out and I spend the days alone in a nice city? I'll take my laptop just incase...
