dazed and confused

Nov 18, 2009 - I'm a 39 y.o. woman who has been "seeing" a 47 y.o. man.  He's a musician in my community and I developed an instant attraction that seems to go far beyond the initial sexy appeal of his guitar playing skills.  Simply put, I'm smitten.  I pursued him pretty heavy in the beginning and have definitely been the person putting the effort in making contact and arranging our activities.  I hate the way this sounds but I am well above average in physical appearance so I'm used to getting the person I pursue.  Anyway, we've been spending time together for a couple of months and it's been magical!  He's romantic, extremely affectionate, sensitive and sweet as hell.  He's introduced me to a couple of friends and he seems proud when he does so.   I walk on a cloud when I'm with him and for the next day or two after.  Trouble is, he doesn't call me....even after several days have gone by.  In his defense, he works a full-time job in addition to the gigs he plays a couple evenings a week.   He also bought a house (his first ever) about 3 weeks ago and he is heavily involved in remodeling it.   Last weekend I asked him to come out to listen to a visiting band at a local pub.  He agreed but at the last minute changed his mind, but failed to tell me this.  I confronted him about his rudeness and told him I didn't think he was that in to me and that he should just acknowlege that fact so that I could move on.  He asked me if I wanted to talk and offered to pick me up for breakfast.  He refused to agree with my assumption and acknowleged his rudeness with an apology.  This confrontation was three days ago and I haven't heard from him since.  I have a lump in my throat and I feel nauseous.  I need some direction here as the agony is just too much! - 11 Comments

Does "falling in love" matter?

Oct 19, 2009 - So, here I am, approaching 30, and I feel like I am asking questions I should know the answer to already.  But anyway, here goes.   My ex-boyfriend and I had a lovely relationship.  We adored and respected each other and had great physical chemistry.  We were extremely compatible, liked each other's friends and families, shared similar live views etc.  We broke up because we both felt like maybe things were great but perhaps we weren't as "in love" as we should be.  But I loved him as a human being so much.   A year later... - 4 Comments

The guy I like has a girlfriend.

Oct 14, 2009 - This is the third time I have been smitten by a guy who is funny, handsome, and overall pretty awesome.  This is also the third time I've found out that he has a girlfriend, way too late for me to quash my feelings without getting depressed and losing any sort of drive for about two weeks.  Just to be clear:  I have absolutely no intention of trying to steal him away.  I am not asking for any help on how to steal him away.  I am also not asking for assurance that "there are plenty of other fish in the sea and you'll find the perfect single guy someday". I just want to figure out how to speed up my recovery time, to the point where I don't cry while wondering what a horrible person I must be to deserve this happening again and again. - 6 Comments
