Staying on his mind...

Over the summer i started seeing an older colleague of mine at my summer job. We only got together last month after being friends for a few months, but since then we've generally seen each other a couple of nights a week and i feel like we've got really close. I'm really quite smitten with him, and according to other people he feels a similar way. He treats me really well and i think a lot of him. Since i came back to uni last week he's told me in texts that he's missing me and wants to come and visit me in a few weeks.

We never discussed our 'status' though and so i wouldn't consider us to be in a relationship and i don't want to come on too strong. I'd only recently come out of a long relationship and he's terrible with relationships in general, so i dont want to push anything and just want to see what happens. At the mo, it seems like we both really like each other but nothings official, and that's cool.

However, i've now gone from seeing him most days to being quite a bit further away at uni. He's promised to come + visit me a few weeks down the line, but i want to do things in these intervening weeks to show him that i havent forgotten him and that im thinking about him a lot. Because we're not 'going out' i dont want to do anything overly mushy and soppy, but plain old texts and emails arent terribly imaginative, so any ideas?? I've got so used to seeing him every day at work and i want to stay involved in his life even tho im far away.

So what can i do/send/say/etc to make him know he's on my mind (and ensure he doesnt forget me)? I don't want anything overly romantic but rather stuff that will make him think i'm sweet + thoughtful! ANY suggestions would be superduper. thanks all.

Even if you don't have a cam phone, you could try taking pics of yourself on a digital cam and e-mailing them to him... just of you doing stuff at uni, working/socialising/with friends/by yourself, to give him a taste of what you're up to when you're not with him, and so he can have pics to remember you by. :smile:

Write him letters!
Or if thats too much then maybe emails? Just every few days with random chitchat.
A few texts a day too. And obviously phone calls. Hope it all works out well for you :smile:

I'd say write him a letter...its always so exciting and sweet when someone takes the time to write to you. it doesnt have to be overlysoppy either, just tell him what you've been getitng up to :smile:
How about buying a web cam as a present for him then all you have to do is chat to him via the web cam and doing the usual stuff etc. texting and calling
Good Luck
