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.
