My advice - she knows you're interested. I'm assuming she is able to reach you if she needs/wants to. Let her take the initiative, your part is done. I hope she calls
-
Sounds like you have no worries in the bedroom department. Wow. Enjoy it for what it is. Sounds like you two lucked out

Hmmm...when someone has built up a wall for so long it can be hard to get that "feeling" back. Could also have something to do with the timing. She may have been ready to work on it when you were in your black hole. Now it sounds like that window of opportunity may be presently closed. You have "woken" and she has moved on? You've already let her know how you feel. Unfortunately, the ball is in her court to proceed or not... I wish you much luck PS - Give her all the space she needs. IF you are in her personal zone this could push her in the other direction. Take one day at a time

First date.. what to do if you don't drink coffee?
Portage replied to betrayedgirl's topic in Dating Advice
Just grab a bottle of water. I'm sure it doesn't really matter. Maybe even a small bite? The main point is the convo not what you'll be ingesting Have fun -
Safety is definitely crucial. I keep thinking of my child and her emotional state, however, safety is a number one key factor. I haven't begun to date as of yet. I figure by the time i ever introduce a man to my child she'll be in university. lol. Can you say overly cautious.
-
i would say definitely YES!! 100% YES !!!! Some women take weeks and weeks before introducing their children to a potential boyfriend. Most women want to make sure that man is going to be a fixture (if they are interested) for quite sometime before introducing them to their child/children. Why have a child bond with that man if they are very temporary? Seems rather cruel and selfish, just my take on it. When it comes to the picture, what mother doesn't love showing off her child?

Should have expected one of you males to ruin it

^ It is nice to see that you fellas appreciate a nice set of...........eyes!! I'm impressed.
-
OMG!!! Thx for the chuckle
-
I think also that everything happens for a reason. Each little new interaction, experience, is building you up for that bigger picture? What? I havent the foggiest...not there yet
-
That's what a dog is for

sometimes i just want to crawl into a hole and hang out with the bears. Hibernation can look really appealing. What stops me? Major curiosity & knowing that things can change like the wind. And i still plan on meeting & marrying John Cusack in the near future. Sigh
-
Yes, not that you are doing it intentionally, however, it will irk her that you aren't responding to her. Congratulations on regaining your control. Nice to feel free again...isn't it?
-
You know the answer. It is just scary making that final step. But when you do it is like a breathe of fresh air. You still have emotional hurdles to deal with, however, what a wonderful feeling to go down that exciting road ahead. Good Luck

Just start with one good deed a day. i.e.- opening the door for the elderly or a pregnant woman. - Really listening when a friend/co-worker has a problem - offering to help when someone needs a hand: car problem or looking lost Babysteps - Don't run madly into flying to the third world and feeding the poor. I think once you stop selfishly focusing all your attention on yourself the rest will just flow. Learn to love the satisfying reward of helping in small ways and then it just naturally flows. You'll feel like a job well accomplished. Be kind to others and yourself, learn as you grow

Way to go, Itsallgrand!! Some women would ignore the signals and cling desperately to any man. You should be proud of your independence, and when you're ready for another relationship, it is just an extra bonus to a fulfilling lifestyle of your choice
-
It is awesome to know that you can enjoy being JUST with yourself. I love my own company. I think you really grow and understand what, who, when, how, you'll make that next jump into giving to another. I eventually want to tread lightly into that scary dating pit, but in the meantime, God, I LOVE ME you are not alone Loving yourself is so vital to the makings of a strong relationship down the road. Something i never realized until fairly recent.

Travel around the world.
-
Well doesn't this kinda change the entire thread now??
-
You absolutely don't have to!! Enjoy your date and wish her a goodnight. Why would you feel the need to invite her over? Not necessary at all.
-
There is nothing wrong with such a fantasy. You should feel privledged that she is willing to share her private thoughts/fantasies with you. This does not mean she cares for you any less, just that she is a normal human being. Be confident!
-
To actually START dating come spring/summer. I don't feel emotionally or mentally prepared at this point. When the dust settles with my divorce i'd like to feel all those gut wrenching sensations again. Of course, i know that there is also all the game playing/crap that comes with the dating world. Overall...i'm excited
-
I'd only date myself IF i could learn the art of comprimising better.
-
I also forgot to add - I TRUST/LOVE MY DOG

I think that you possibly need sometime on your own to gain perspective. You can't "force" something that you may/may not feel. Speak to your boyfriend and be as honest and as open with your feelings as possible. I've learned - never rush into a situation and hope the problems will just go away. Life just isn't kind enough to allow you to sweep the problems under the rug & have them magically disappear. Your boyfriend deserves to know where your head is at. GOOD LUCK
