Believe me the door is closed..XW will always be in my life because of D8, however, as I continue to detach and at the risk of repeating myself, the woman she has become is no longer a viable option for me. Even if she slipped on the ice, fell on her head and had a change of heart, the best I can do for her is be her friend.
I would tell a friend to stop thinking and go with the flow....have fun enjoy and don't hur anybody purposely along the way.
I have an idea of what is drawing me to her....if I am perfectly honest, I miss female companionship, I miss sharing things with a female, I miss human warmth and little Johnny needs some excercise! For the time being that is what is drawing me to her. I may be committing to an exclusive relationship a little early. We will see...next date Saturday night....she is choosing the venue...it's a surprise.
