I think you're very much aware that it's not a good idea to pick up things with your ex. But you're also aware of your own limitations and that you attract the same types of men. So, I'm hoping you find something - closure, whatever - that helps you.

How do you feel about your ex? Do you want to see him again? Be friends? More?
-
Growing up.... when I was sick.... when Mom asked me what would make me feel better.... I always said, "your homemade mashed potatoes"..... And to this day, whenever I'm having a rough day, she brings them over.

If it's any help - I voiced my concerns about someone I had dated a couples time, and every person agreed I should give it more time and keep seeing him. But in the end, I knew I just couldn't see myself having a relationship with him, so I ended it. It turned out for the better, since the man I met after him is now my boyfriend. Sometimes you just know what's not right for you, even if it seems right for everyone else.

Well, sounds like you need to compartmentalize then. For intellectual conversations and activities, you'll need to feed into friends and family that you know you can share these things with. For example, I'm dating a guy that is in love with music in all its properties, and I think he's finding it a little difficult sometimes that I don't care for music very much and can't even hold a tune or rhythm. He is so enthusiastic about songs that I'll listen to them with him because I know it's important to him - but I don't take part in discussions really, because I don't understand it. But, we have other hobbies and interests that we share where we work really well together. So, I know he shares his passion with music with others, and he and I just do other things that we love together.

I most handsome guy I ever dated was lost in his own life and didn't know what the heck he wanted. So you can't go by looks alone! (He was a very nice looking Latin man. You ever date a guy you just couldn't get enough of, ever? Yep. That was him.)

Oh darling, I sense some of the same problems I'm having right now, too. Yours is a little more in depth, because I'm emerging on my 4th date with William and I'm finally concluding that it just isn't going to happen with us. I don't see myself with him romantically. I've never had to break it off with someone I didn't love, so I'm very nervous. I talked to my mother and she suggested keeping the date tonight, but talking to him when we meet up, before progressing into the date. Then he can decide if he wants to stays friends and continue our night tonight. I really want to like him more. He really is a sweet and kind man. But it's just not there for me.

" In a box not a bottle" Asperger's revealed
WithLove replied to Seraphim 's topic in Journals's Journals
I do as well. I'm sure you remember that my ex has a 5-year-old autistic daughter. She really doesn't "appear" as if she is autistic until she tries to communicate. I believe she would be much more "functioning" if someone other than her mother had custody of her. I don't believe her mother understands much about autism and refuses to learn more about it, nor about things to do to help her grow. -
No masturbation? Poor guy! No wonder he's so shy..... He's probably like a rocket, just waiting for one small spark...!
-
Hey, it sounds like he's the one with all the "female" dating insecurities!
-
I wouldn't give up him quite yet. Sounds like when he's comfortable and "in his element", he's a great guy, very engaging. Everyone has their comfort level limit.... Sounds like he just needs to find ways of becoming more comfortable.

To Dance With Kings by Rosalind Laker. I'm a sucker for Versailles era books!

Dang, sorry hun. Not much you can do about that. A good friend of mine has major sinus problems too - enough so that he's considering surgery sometime this year.

What is different in your environment? What has changed since the New Year? Is it the weather?
-
Well even using tongue at all is pretty forward this early!!
-
Can you just tell him that you thought it was a bit too forward for you, for now?

A Safe Place to Talk Freely to the Deceased
WithLove replied to IAmFCA's topic in Grief Loss and Bereavement
M, I'm so very sorry that I did not go to visit you in the hospital. You knew and I knew you would soon be gone, and I chickened out and didn't go. I regret it. I didn't know you long, but you touched my life the way only a few can. Your ceremony is next week. It was kind of the radiologist to update our newsletter with the location. I will be paying my respects. -
Post here instead of contacting your ex!
WithLove replied to Nynnja's topic in Healing After Break Up or Divorce
I saw that she unblocked me from Facebook. So guess what? I blocked her. Now you're both two of a kind. -
Maybe he's nervous because he doesn't think he can trust himself in your presence!
-
I think maybe it was just nervousness about how much you were expecting. I get the sense that he didn't want you to feel uncomfortable, which is why he asked if it was okay. I thought all of it was rather cute! Now that he knows you were comfortable with the cuddling and kissing, I hope it won't be an issue after this weekend. If he continues to act spontaneously and then apologizes for his behavior, then I'd get a little worried.

Pick something good off the menu - at the very least, you'll have had a great meal
-
Just take him up on his offer of dinner. It's not sexual, it's not putting all your eggs in one basket, and you'll still get to see if any chemistry is there.
-
M sounds nice, and the fact that he wanted to spend more time with you (with separate bedrooms) is nice, too. Make sure you lock it!
-
I don't know, the ex-wife thing is a bit too close for comfort to me. I mean, he takes the time to go visit his son, which is very admirable, but driving the ex to work, sharing the car, her getting angry over his overtime and that it affected HER dating plans? Ehh...... something doesn't seem right to me. But that's just my opinion.
