I Realized That I Have Feelings For My friend, But Now He's Seeing Someone

Apr 26, 2009 - I have been friends with this guy for about 5 or 6 months. He made it very clear in the beginning that he wanted to be more than friends. However, I was unsure of whether or not I could handle his baggage (he has a young child that he takes care of, is divorced, and is satisfied working in a booth at a mall). - 11 Comments

Minor relationship woes

Nov 23, 2009 - Okay, so I've seen seeing this guy for about 4 months.  I had gotten out of an LTR a few months before I met this guy so I wanted to take things slowly.  As a result we only saw each other once a week for the first 3 months and lately we've been ramping it up to about twice a week.  At the beginning, things were a bit crazy.  Since I was dealing with my breakup, I didn't handle some situations very well, and there were a few times I thought that I would never hear from him again, because he was rightly upset at me for things I said or did.  After the last fight (about 2 months ago) I realized that I really like this guy and if I want to keep things going with him, I have to shape up.  So I did.  Fast forward until now.  Things have been consistently good for a couple months.  But, as this weird after effect from early on, every time we have any kind of misunderstanding - literally a misunderstanding - I feel like "Oh no, it's over!" and I have anxiety that he's going to leave.  These misunderstandings aren't fights - we don't fight.  They're more like me saying something and he takes it to mean one thing over another.  Then I try to explain what I did mean, etc. The thing is, logically, I know I shouldn't feel this way.  When he first told me he loved me (a little over a week ago), he said he'd been feeling it a while but that he didn't want to scare me away.  He asked me to spend Thanksgiving with him.  He asked me to go on a trip with him this winter.  He calls me up all the time, and sometimes we still talk on the phone for hours.  I mean, all signs point to him being really into me.  I'm only the 3rd person he's ever said "I love you" to (other than family), and we're both in our early 30s.  So why the anxiety?  What does it mean?  And how can I stop it?  I feel like it negatively affects our relationship.  I feel like now that he loves me I'm just waiting for him to stop loving me.  It's really quite sad.  Not sure what to do.  Any suggestions are appreciated. - 0 Comments
