That clarifies things for me a bit. I too am such a trusting soul, but when it comes to new personal relationships, I am on RED ALERT.
I think what's bothering me is that I thought he might be interested in me beyond frienship, but now it's clear he's not. He's too nice to tell me that. I don't mind having another friend I guess.
One thing that Im seeing within myself is how much higher I've raised the bar in regards to what type of person I need to have in my life for a healthy relationship. I swear a healthy relationship is all I want more than all the woo woo compatibility.
