    The process is not that complicated until you do it on time lol
    You just need to do an anti rabies test before flying back to France, but the blood need to be sent in France 3 months at least before the travel date. After that there is not quarantine 🙂
    It’s a “she” and her name is “Fairy”.
    Is it more complicated to bring a dog in US ?

    Hahaha for the Christmas gift I don’t really care to be honest it was just if I needed to find something negative from him lol (he can’t be that perfect :p) But from what I know he isn’t really good with gift he never has idea, he let his sister buy for his nephew and nieces and they seems not to offer gift between them as they are adult.

    We had a nice evening yesterday but he has to left really early this morning to go to work in his house with his father….Still we enjoyed the evening we had fun again, and we spoke again about his house and my mother’s one so I was the one showing picture this time lol
    But no I didn’t saw his house except in picture. As I told you he is living far from my place – 50 kms – and for now at his parent’s place so I went there only twice while they were travelling and each time in the evening so we didn’t go to his house. I just saw it in picture last time he came. I proposed to help him for his house but he said “it’s nice of you but don’t worry, I am not gonna ask you to do that”. So it seems I am not gonna see it now lol
    And he called me chief again yesterday so I asked why and he laugh again and said because he wanted to annoy me, and as it was working he was saying it again…lol
    But yes I hope aswell that if at one point I am going to far he will be a able to tell me just to avoid a big frustration…

    Let see 🙂

    Yes…2 years was a bit long to be honest lol but at least I grew a lot there aswell and it shows how lucky I was to be born in France…I also had a real view of their culture and not only the “Bollywood holidays” people used to have or what I thought it was before going there 🙂
    For the dog they definitely worth it even if the process to make her be back in France with me was a bit complicated but in the end it works 🙂

    Yes he is passing the tests lol for dog and lot of others 🙂 only one he is not passing is the “small gift” one lol
    Even if I understand our relation is new he didn’t make any small gift for Christmas lol I’ll have to let him know discreetly he should consider it sometime without being call chief again loool
    I can understand he call me that because I know I am a bit directive and as you said I know what I want and that I am straight up but it’s more when he said that, that surprised me…And yes I guess he liked it, I just hope I am not too much like that for him at one point lol or that at least he will be able to “stop me” if it’s going to far lol

    I do like aswell the fact that we can just snuggle and that he seems to enjoy it as much as I do.

    Yesterday evening we joked about the fact he is a pretty talkative guy lol (he is the one talking the more, I am a good listener lol)
    And today we discussed about seeing each other so he will come tomorrow evening because he is working on his house today and he wants to do it also during the day tomorrow as his dad is helping him out.

    So that’s moving on 🙂

    Thanks much !!

    Yes we had been after the 3rd time we met and it’s really great, and yes he is definitely respectful kind, connected and always making sure to please me. But we are not always intimate when we meet like the time we went to the restaurant or yesterday even if we slept together (because we were still a bit dizzy) but we were still hugging and all just no sex. Chemistry is good also on this point 🙂

    Haha yes he is definitely connected to my dog and me 🙂 that’s cool !! We do have conversation fun one, more serious one, still getting to know each other and trying to understand each other spirit. Only thing is that he started calling me “chief” yesterday…don’t know why because I wasn’t directive or so…but he seems to think it’s fun to call me like that…I asked him why and he just laugh at me…Might be because of the time I told him he shouldn’t cancel on last minute as he did…lol
    But no red flag so far. At first I was a bit afraid as he was making me think about my ex (the one I used to live with) but he is nothing like him at all.

    Yes I got her in India from some Indian friends. They already had 8 dogs so couldn’t get her with them and if no one would take her, the owner would have kill her…And yes after 2 years there (but I got her on my second year there) I couldn’t left her in India so I brought her back with me in France. And yes it’s really intense place never calm always noisy lol. I spent 2 years and I lived in Dehli. I was working there as kind of intern contract.

    Hi Heidi,

    Haha yes I do realise that I am responding differently, less needy as you said and I guess more confident. Part is thanks to me and the work I’ve done on myself but I think it’s also thanks to him and his behaviour (which I guess should be a normal one lol) as he is respectful.
    It definitely feels good and I am just enjoying the moment and not thinking of what happen, could happen, and not overthinking. Things are moving naturally and step by step 🙂
    It’s good to have this follow up and continuous share, it’s like a diary but with interaction lol and it helps to see the growth, progress, and what could still be improve.

    I’m also happy to feel better lol especially because I am working today again so better not spending my time sleeping or in the toilet…lol
    But I am still working from home as you may know we are still having a strike in Paris (since early December) so it’s complicated for me to go to work…So my dog definitely is happy of having me around all the time, she is sleeping next to me when I am working lol
    I have a “Lhassa Apso” (with short hairs), so a small dog, but it’s better when you are in a flat and you don’t have a garden. Also I got her when I was leaving in India and I brought her back in France with me :). She will turn 9 at the end of January.

    I also use my dog as a filter, I couldn’t be with someone who doesn’t like dogs and especially doesn’t like my dog as I am spending lot of time taking care of her, it impacts my day for the walks and all. For him since the beginning he is really understanding, he used to have one aswell. First time he invited me for lunch he told me that it was sad it was a rainy day otherwise he said I could have bring my dog to go for a walk in the forest nearby. When he is coming at my place he is playing with my dog, and my dog love him lol even if she is a bit “jealous” of him at same time lol. He is always coming with me when I am walking her (even at 1 am yesterday night lol).
    So he finally were able to meet yesterday evening, we had dinner, watch a movie, I offered him biscuits I made for Christmas (we didn’t do Christmas gifts), then we spoke too much until more than 2 am lol and he showed me pictures of his house (I told you he is currently building it) so I’ve seen the progress and all that’s nice. And he even joked about my pole dance bar, he said it can’t be in his house because of his false ceiling lol. But that’s just talk but it’s still nice to see him speaking of “future”. We are also still speaking about the ski weekend we need to confirm the date. And we are seeing each other again tomorrow or Saturday not decided yet.

    Hi Heidi,

    Sorry was still not well at all. I’m starting to feel better today only. We postponed our evening together to Jan 1st as we were both not well until yesterday night and he is working today and tomorrow. He has a plan for tomorrow night as I do and also for Jan 1st lunchtime…lol
    But it’s nice way to spend our 1st day of the year together, except that I am working on Thursday, but I’ll work from home so it’s ok…

    For the number…I’ll say 7 I guess, I would like it to work, I like him but I’m still learning to know him so for what I know I do like him, but I just don’t want too much pressure on thinking I definitely want it to work and put a kind of “mask” in front of my eyes just because of this. I prefer my mind to stay clear and ensure I move forward with him with a clear view of who he really is 🙂
    Hope it answers your question 🙂

    Nice way to spend holidays ! I am spending lot of time with my own dog aswell as I am staying home right now due to illness…poor doggy, I am not that able to walk her out but she is staying with me and sleeping with me and checking if I’m ok lol

    Hey Heidi

    Sorry I’ve been pretty busy with holidays preparation. I was receiving my family for Christmas eve and Christmas…

    So the raclette thing was really nice we had a great night of fun discussion and work aswell lol but we had too much rhum and wine, and we went to sleep pretty late…I had to wake up early because I had dance class in the morning it was pretty complicated lol
    But yes it’s moving in the right direction for now, we even discussed about going for a 4 days ski weekend end of January…and he was really happy about that saying he could take day off when I wanted so it’s nice 🙂

    We are supposed to meet tonight but not sure we will because he is not well since 25th and I am not either since yesterday night so it’s not really a great day…but let see how the day goes otherwise we will postponed but he is working on Monday and Tuesday and will be off starting Thursday but I will be working again 🙁 lol

    I’ll let you know but for now yes it’s going in the good direction, still taking time to know each other, what we like, how he ended up doing is current job, part of family stuff…so it’s nice 🙂

    Hope you had a great Christmas by the way 🙂

    Yes but it might be a bit of the same but the raclette itself is the name of the cheese, and it has to be melted on top of potatoes and meet so it’s not “starter” or “aperitif”‘s one.
    We of course have fondue (for us it’s a mix of 4 cheeses + white wine), but I do prefer raclette fromage 🙂

    And yes it’s definitely the right season 😉 but I know some of my friend can have this during summer…I’m not lol

    So tonight we are gonna have raclette with my Fireman as he invited me for dinner 🙂

    Yes it’s cool and refreshing 🙂

    That’s traditional “raclette” : https://images.app.goo.gl/fLaL5WKyioCMNmXL9 and the more common you’ll see in house and not restaurant : https://images.app.goo.gl/6mEAhLe5Km2tBRpw6 / https://images.app.goo.gl/BXSjHHzgHiNEaNos9

    It’s amazing food…lol but better to eat during winter or while skiing…;)

    Hi Heidi,

    Hahaha I told this story a bit on purpose, to show that for once I learn from my previous reaction and I voiced it for once lol

    For sure, it could have turn out bad but no “happy ending” for now 🙂

    Yes there is a cool chemistry, and we have fun together, we have serious discussion and we can be able to have different point of view without going into fight so that’s nice 🙂 and yes definitely sexual chemistry lol but during our last evening nothing happened and we are still talking and all so it’s not only sexe which is great 🙂

    For this week we are discussing everyday as it used to be, but I had a lot of work in the evening and same for him so we are gonna meet only Friday of Saturday. Due to the strike in France right now, commutation are really painful…But still we are gonna meet (but we didn’t decided yet what we are gonna do…lol except he told me about eating a “raclette” if you know French meal from the mountain with lot of cheese lol).

    Will keep you posted 🙂

    Hi ladies
    Finally some news…As i told you last week my fireman had an exam on wednesday, he wrote me a message telling me it was finally over. So we discussed i told him to enjoy the evening and relax after his hard period and he did as he was going to one of his friend’s place. But i was a bit frustrated because he didn’t propose to meet. I just thought ok let him go down after his exam he will tell you the day after…by the way it was his birthday so i wished him and asked what was his plan he told me he would go to sleep only…i was like ok…still no proposition to meet so i finally asked if we would meet during the weekend and his answer was like « yes we will try ». To be honest i was feeling a bit « bad » about it…i was starting a bit to wonder if he was still into it or not…Also because i really wanted to celebrate his birthday but i wasn’t able to plan anything (control freak i am lol) also first he told me for friday night but that he jad t be home at 8am so making us waking up at 6…so i asked for saturday and he told me first not possible because family was coming to his place and then he told me ok i should be free on saturday evening and in the end on last minute he told me ok i am dining with them and i come after (in my head i had plan the dinner with champagne to celebrate his birthday. Not restaurant because he was supposed to get out of his family lunch after 5pm so he wouldn’t have been really hungry) so i told him that wasn’t what i was thinking about…he told me ok let’s postponed to tomorrow…so i got really disapppointed i told him i was and i stopped answered …he was like i promise tomorrow we meet and we go to restaurant. But i was upset not only because he cancelled but because he did it last minute so i had no backup plan and i stayed home alone …Then he wrote me messages to wish me good night and promising again for the restaurant but i didn’t answered…the morning after he asked if i was upset so i told him again that i was disapointed especially because i ended up alone doing nothing because he cancelled last minute. And he finally apologized and asked if we would still meet or not…I told him yes so he came at my place end of afternoon (he got stuck in traffic jam for so long to reach) and he had booked the restaurant. I offered him the straw and he was happy with it and touched i made him a gift. After we left for the restaurant it was an amazing cute place, looking like the one you can see in the mountain, and they had christmas decoration with automate it was really really cute 😍 he ended up paying for the restaurant…i guess he really wanted me to forgive him lol (and i did he was too cute on this night and restaurant once again doing everything to please me for the dinner and all). We came back to my place and sadly he had to left because as i told you he is living quite far feom my place…but he already asked for next time and he is back to normal…i guess the « lack » of proposition to meet was still due to his exam state of mind…
    But in the end i didn’t invited him to the seafood restaurant and he invited me instead lol i guess i will postpone it as a christmas present 😅😅
    I guess i entered a bit this lack of confidence zone and then i got it back and for once i shared my feelings and thought about situation. And it ended up well lol
    Have a good day ladies

    haha he explained that he loves straws because when he is making cocktails with rhum and sugar he can sip the sugar thanks to the straw lol also he likes to chew them…don’t ask me why lol
    And also it’s because you know starting 2020 it will be forbidden to sell plastic straw and you can’t find it anymore in mcdonalds or in bars so he wasn’t happy about that 😅😅
    I was thinking it would be fun to buy him a « travel one » he could bring with him everywhere to avoid his frustration lol

    Hi Heidi,

    Yes it’s pretty new and i am trying to keep my feet and my head calm lool
    But i am happy so far of his behavior and effort to connect.

    We met on an app and to be honest at first when he told me he was fireman i was thinking of « ghosting him ». Not ghosting but just not put any effort in it because i thought we would be too different and that he might be a player type of guys (don’t know how fireman are in USA but all of my french fireman friends are like that…). But he told me he was with a girl for 10 years and then one during a year but it didn’t work. So he seems serious.

    In the end while discussing we had some common point of interests, he is attentive since the beginning and always asking when we meet next time, and trying to please me (he is willing to watch movie he doesn’t care about just because i like lol and he also tried food even if he told me he didn’t like much just because i cooked it…).

    For his birthday i don’t know yet i don’t want to make plans as he is right now focus on his exam and i don’t know if he is gonna be with his family or not. But i was thinking to invite him in a seafood restaurant because i know he loves it. I am not thinking to give him a real gift or maybe a joke one, he loves straws so i am thinking to buy him one which is environmental compliant. I didn’t make up my mind yet but it’s only a month we are dating so it’s complicated…and he told me he doesn’t like gift lol

    Have a good day

    Hello ladies,

    Hope you’re doing good, and that you enjoyed Thanksgiving time with family and / or friends 🙂

    Sorry it’s been a while I didn’t came here. Pretty busy lately at work and with Christmas coming 🙂
    Also it was my mom and my dad birthday so…Lot of party and dinner and present to buy lol

    I also met a guy a month ago now, We first met and had dinner in a restaurant, then we went for movie and restaurant and then he invited me for lunch at his place he cooked for me, then I invited him at my place, we again met for movie and dinner and once again at my place…So I can say that we are dating… we “sadly” won’t meet this week as he is studying for an exam next Wednesday. He is a fireman (
    but he is not going into intervention anymore. His exam is to increase his grade). He is a nice guy, really attentive, always trying to please me and do what I like..So it’s really nice, he is really attentive, always sending messages in the morning and evening, even now while he is really studying hard.
    I told him for this weekend that I didn’t wanted him to feel “obliged” to see me because I knew he was a bit stressed for his exam and that he really needed to work. We are not living really close (around 50kms from each other) so it’s always 2hours drive at least to come and go back so I didn’t wanted him to be tired because of that. Next Thursday it’s his birthday don’t really know if we will meet the day itself or after…will see 🙂
    Until then I have lots of plan lol

    Have a good day !
