feelings as OW seems to be on way out

[forward]

So now there is this new guy, and I am finding that I feel...chased. I guess I understand things from that point of view a little bit better now--what it is like to feel chased. It really is a relief when he backs off. And yes, I do feel more inclined to respond when he isn't pushing.

I have to admit: I have seen this guy a number of times but I am having trouble feeling comfortable around him. I like him and I like talking with him but I just can't relax.

I noticed X seemed sad today (OW was away) and I more or less told him to leave. I suspect that there will be further lingering once OW is really out of the scene.

I worry some about X. He has never been a person with a lot of friends all around him. With OW gone, he will spend most of his time alone.
