BA, it's one thing to consciously decide to try dating women outside you normal comfort zone...that's cool. It's not OK to just settle for whatever crumbs someone else wants to drop you. If Barb can't give you what you want and deserve in a fair amount of time, don't just settle. That's what I'm getting at. Those of us who are known for our "flexibility" often compromise...or rather surrender our legitimate needs to what others are willing to give. I'm a pro at telling myself I'm being too selfish or too rigid etc. and end up finding myself giving all the time and losing myself in the process. You be true to you...that's all I'm saying.
Thanks for having my back Wii. I agree with everything you are saying and if it turns out that she isn't willing to give me the time and effort I deserve then, as much as I am into her, I will move on. I've been in a lopsided relationship before and emotionally it is not healthy.
