I am catching up and I have missed so much. You have had so much going on. Your D sounds like a great kid and I know switching jobs and looking for a home are stressors. Sometimes you just want to close your head in the refrigerator, right?
G, you remind me so much of a friend of mine. I read your posts and I think "Kate, is this you?" except she has never been married and has no kids.
You have received sage advice from everyone. There is nothing wrong with wanting a R. It's okay to admit it and when that's what you want, the half a&& or in this case 1/4th version doesn't hack it. You will always feel shortchanged/bad/less than if you seek Rs with people who either a} don't want one b} aren't ready for one or c} don't want one with us. Regardless, the ending is the same. You will always feel like your needs aren't getting met, because they aren't. The end.
I'm with the guys. Don't pursue. I also think when you slept with this guy is completely irrelevant. You could have waiting 1 date or 6 and I think this would be the exact same situation. But that is just me. I know you have tickets to some upcoming event and I feel like when men mention something in the future, women have a tendency to glom on to that. Like it mean "he want what I want" when in reality it means "sure we can go to the game together."
I'm positive HC thinks you are beautiful, fun and that he enjoys spending time with you. I don't understand what big proclamation needs to occur. If you like hanging out with him, hang out with him. Keep looking and dating. That way you don't obsess about this guy. Yes, I know there are lots of men who don't want relationships and I know it's difficult-I do. And I know you are wondering when it will be your time. However, I have a strong feeling this guy isn't your guy and or it's not your time with him. He sounds like a good guy but either take it for what it is or don't hang out with him. I know you are awesome, beautiful and fun.
