One of the reasons that I am so impressed with this Jack person is because he strikes me as a genuinely considerate and lovely person - not one to mess people about, whether it be accidentally or on purpose. I had started to wonder over the last couple of weeks whether I had been mistaken in this as things had escalated a bit with some of the stuff he's been saying, but today he proved me right.
Having been wondering whether it might become necessary to have a chat about boundaries after last night, I was relieved and amazed when he somehow managed to make it clear that P (his brilliant girlfriend and my friend) was his priority without making me feel bad or silly or like I'd done something wrong. Whilst doing so his behaviour towards me has still been warm and friendly with no weirdness.
My crush is still there but my confidence that it will go away shortly after this week has increased. My respect for him has gone through the roof. Which is a very pleasant surprise after the whole Mr B shebang - there are men out there with balls and tact. Hurrah!

Wow, how did he do that? He sounds like Superman - what did he say? Congrats, by the way, I'm glad it's all clear and sorted x
He basically made a point of saying he was worried that his missus hadn't text him all day, and would someone text her for him?
I offered to lend my phone but he asked that I send a message to find out if she was annoyed with him. I asked "Are you really worried?" and he said he was as she hadn't got back to him all day which wasn't like her.
I sent her a message asking if she was out that evening and just before she replied to me she replied to him explaining her phone had been left at home that day.
Subtle, clear and righteous. Brilliant.
To me this reads as though he has been flirting outrageously with you, propositioned you in way that meant that he could pretend that he was joking if he wanted to and then somehow, by some kind of trickery, made you think that it was all you and that he's wonderful. How is this possible?
I explained it wrong. There was no propositioning - and there was much more to it than have been able to put here. Yes behaviour on both sides (not just mine) was not exactly angelic but am confident that it will be from here on in.
That's why I think he's cool - a line was almost crossed but wasn't and won't be.
