Chorus: Yay!
Going abroad on holiday was one of the fun things I wanted to do this year (or, to be fair, last year), and I'm pleased I have: for several years I've never got round to it, having so much excuse to spend time with people nearby.
Chorus: Aw!
But the reason I was in Stockholm specifically was to see![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
livredor as a delayed Cyril and Methodius[1] weekend. We really met at my and her Christmas parties, and had a date at New Year when she was in the country, and exchanged email spiralling out of all control, and are now officially going out.
Chorus: Squee!
[1] Apparently the correct honorific for "Saints" is "Sts." But is that right? Shouldn't it be "St.s"? But that looks completely wrong :)
Chorus: Wuh?
It was obviously a calculated risk visiting someone in an unformed relationship; it could indeed have been awkward if we had felt pressure to get on. But we decided we were objectively optimistic, given how well we hugged both on our coffee date, and electronically, indeed, we were as comfortable hugging in real life.
Chorus: Squee!
So we had a lovely weekend and debating, snuggling and Stockholm, and I don't really have anything more to say in this paragraph, I just wanted to mention again that we officially examined the common relationship paradigms available to us in this culture and decided that "relationship" and "going out" best cover what we agreed we were going.
Chorus: SQUEE!
Chorus: But do we get a link?
Of course. Her post: here
