At this point Nic, I'm definitely not going to dump him. But, I am going to totally back off and see if he initiates. I have sent out lots of "I really like you" vibes/messages and will see if he is able to return the sentiment in any way that speaks to me in my love language. I like so much about him, but honestly, if he isn't totally taken with me, then why bother trying to pursue it more? I don't want anything mediocre--I want something really special and I am willing to wait until Mr. Special and I find each other.
One extenuating circumstance is that he is dealing with some fairly significant health issues and I know it must be a big concern and he may be trying to protect me from having to deal with something potentially life threatening. He's the kind of guy who would not want to drag me into anything messy--another reason I like him so well--he's considerate that way. He's certainly not a victim/crybaby/"why me" kind of guy...sigh. He's trying to make it seem like it's no big deal. I have let him know that I am here for him as a support and that I'd really like to continue to see him and that I can handle the health issues. The ball is in his court.
Ah life. Love. Romance. It's all so wonderful and awful and so very complicated! No one is perfect. Karate Man is certainly not perfect. But he is worth the effort--as long as he thinks I am too. Time will tell.
Meanwhile, guess who has suddenly been back in touch...Farty Man! Oy Vey! I'm not THAT desperate, don't worry!
