34: Holding my ground ... continued

[makingmagic]

Hi Ken... thanks for the reality statements...I am letting them resonate.

I am not trying to be manipulative or to have R talk. I do not want to reiterate that I am "waiting" or that I am hopeful he will change his mind. I am trying to give a reason that is honest.

Based on:

1) he is being friendly with offer
2) he wants my company (has mentioned numerous times he enjoys our time & wants more time like that)
3) he said he is concerned about what others think
4) concerned about displays of public affection

^^^^ Yes, this is ALL ABOUT HIS thought.... that is why I am wanting to respond to HIM. In other words, "thank you for the offer, I understand that you enjoy my companionship, but You have concerns about what others are thinking... and that is ANOTHER reason, why I don't think its a good idea right now"

... why let family think we are getting back, when we are not?

With the above in mind.... I want to give a fair statement that explains. I do NOT want to have another R talk.. I fear that now too!

Thanks but no thanks is not enough.... I need to be able to state why... don't I? HE needs to get that I am not MM on demand, on the shelf... waiting for him... Especially when he STILL does not know what he wants with me.
