Hey there,
Well, I have read through all your wonderful ideas and advice. I like the fact that I can now call the bag a bandage; it's really cool. I have been dating this guy and he's such a gentleman, retired from the military. I somewhat feel he would probably understand, having been in the military. Well, after reading through, especially Jeffrey's message, I realize it's not fair not to mention my bandage.
Last night, we had a wonderful time at his place. He cooked and we watched a movie. He never rushed into kissing, just stroking and holding my hand. Each time he tried to hold my stomach, I would find a way to push him off. At one point, I realized he was staring at my stomach. He walked me to my car and surprisingly kissed me. I didn't expect it. So it ended up like one of those rushed kisses that end up on half cheek and half lip...lol
He waited for me to leave. He already sent me a text saying he likes me...my answer...that's nice to know. Okay, the thing about our dating is...we met at the post office. On our telephone conversation, he told me he is looking for a very serious relationship, a wife. I was honest with him from day one. When he gave me his number, I told him this is something I don't do. Anyway, on our first date, I told him I would only like to be friends, but somehow I feel he's into me and I know I should tell him. It's not that I don't want to. I just don't know how to start. It's sooooooooooo hard. I have no problem with being rejected. That's what life is, and moving on. This may sound silly, but does anyone have suggestions? I don't want to show him a video. I tried it once with an ex-boyfriend. He quickly said, "Is that it?" We went into a serious relationship, but I noticed he was becoming distant after four years. I pushed him away because I was scared. I am very attractive but sometimes put myself down. Well, the ex-boyfriend and I took a little break. I reached a point where I was really ready to commit with him. I called him to tell him how much I loved him and wanted us to be serious. He told me he got married last week. I have never dated ever since for 7 years. Don't feel sorry for me. It's made me stronger. This is why I find it safe to tell them I am looking for a friend. It's easier to tell a friend than someone who wants more. I feel it gives me a more controlling part, and I will never be hurt again. If he walks...oh well, we started as friends and we will still be friends.
