Totally agree with Don. I am truly happy that you had a good day and seem so excited about this guy. And you know what, I actually agree with LH too in that adults who are attracted to each other can and should act on that if they are engaging in open and honest conversations. So like Don, I don’t necessarily think you are getting anything wrong. It is just that from an outside point of view, just like Don pointed out, your words and actions don’t match and I just don’t want you to get caught up, spun out, and hurt again. He sounds like a nice guy and he may very well be perfect for you. And if that is the case, yay for you, G and yay for dude because you are a catch.

I get what you are saying about how we interpreted your own words that he wasn’t getting invited in where you meant not getting invited in for sexy time but that is really neither here nor there. Just a week ago, you were pretty meh about the dude thinking he was blowing you off then when he showed interest and wanted a last minute date, you considered it. Now, he’s great, you felt safe, etc and then when some of us say slow down, you quickly change gears to I like him, he likes me and that’s all it is, nothing more.

I’m really not trying to be negative because I’m glad you had fun and I hope you continue to do so and this works out well for you. It just seems, despite the fact that you have changed some things up (good for you!!!!!!!!), you are getting a bit caught up.
