Glad date 2 went well. Everything will evolve in time-gotta let it play out in due time. No rush.
The house sounds like it needs some work but it will be fun to have something to make your own. Yes, the flooding would be a concern, but do your due diligence and do the best you can. That’s all you can do.
I’m sorry if I sound like a dissenter. Not sure what there is to end with HC other than whether you decide to see him casually. No big conversation necesssary. If I’m being honest, from what little I know, I don’t think HC sounds like a bad guy and he’s been rather straight forward. The real issue is that he’s offering the same thing he offered in the beginning and that isn’t what you want. And there is NOTHING wrong with what you want. However, you will feel awful and used if you seek what you want with people who want nothing of the sort. People are generally pretty honest in what they are looking for but it’s not always fun to hear-especially if you are attracted to them. If you want to keep in touch, your choice but unless you want just the occasional sexy times, HC is offering you nothing.
Enjoy dog sitting. That sounds awesome :-)
he is definitely offering me nothing. And no, I cannot live nothing. it's not what I want. Yet, in a way, it's all I know.I think he could have offered up something more like "I can reach out and make more plans" or something that shows he could put an OUNCE of effort in. But he can't. I agree with J9, that he didn't have to leave that in my court. He knows I am feeling badly, just don't throw the ball back at me. He even admitted to keeping me at arms length purposely, which I can feel and I have mentioned here too. Someone consciously avoiding having any emotional connection with you really feels awful.
I am really excited to make the home mine. Luckily it's in good shape, but an old guy who reall, and I mean REALLY loves Jesus owns the house. It needs some special touches. Shopping for it will be so much fun.
D10 is already on my butt about getting a dog. The dog I am watching is my old dog. I miss him, so it will be good for me. He's 14, and the brother of my dad's dog.
I know I can't start predicting what this new guy might do with his exGF, but it's not a good enough reason to stop dating him. It was just nice enough to get a kiss hello and one goodbye. He "forgot" to text me goodnight last night and apologized and said it at midnight even though he said he knew I was sleeping. Told me when he was leaving this morning. He's sweet. I am looking forward to our date next week.
