Defiantly a good read!!! You could make a tv show about your love life! I agree with the others that there is no need to tell everything to your ex... About the rest of it, I would see where things lead and what you think of this guy in real life. You might not like him in real life, or he could be the next best thing in your life - who knows till you try. When foes your European friend join the party? I guess deal with that when he arrives. Keep us updated - we need to live vicariously through other peoples exciting lives, I know my life is boring in comparison!
