Posted: 2/19/2008 11:07:51 PM | | Hi flowergrower! This may seem a bit irrelevant this late, but I just read your posting. Apparently this guy is also attracted to the "silly old woman" in you, who is just as much a part of you as who you were before-just another aspect. Most of us are (hopefully) multidimensional, having many parts making up the whole. I can understand the trepidation, since it's been so long for you, but I agree whith everyone else's responses thus far. Ride that pink cloud, and go w/ the flow. Things will settle down soon, if not already. Take care! | |

Posted: 2/19/2008 11:19:20 PM | My guess is LUST. Why?
• instant attraction
• cant say goodbye
• cant sleep
• not getting work done
LUST! | |

Posted: 5/12/2008 3:39:34 PM | Enjoy the ride and be kind to yourself along the way. If it lasts for another 50 years, God bless you! If it doesn't, at least you'll have the fabulous memories of a time when you loved truly and were truly loved in return.
We should all have such problems!!!! | |

Posted: 7/2/2008 5:16:50 AM | | Just checking in to say that we recently celebrated our 1 year anniversary! Yes, he still brings me flowers, we still talk and email at least 5 times a day when not together, he still drives 1 hour to see me, and my family & friends adore him too. Even our dogs are best friends, lol. I'm a lucky gal to find such a wonderful man! | |

Posted: 8/28/2008 3:31:51 PM | | Ah well, it was nice while it lasted. I must say that there is now a wiser me. Many of you were correct, it was too soon for him to get into another relationship. We are still friends but he wants to spend more time with his main mistress--the boat. | |

It seems to me the obvious thing to do is to go out immediately and acquire a cat. You said you didn't have one. You can get one at your local humane society or SPCA. Then, just sit back and enjoy the second half of your life with the delightful company of a man who obviously can't do without you. He does like cats I hope, lol. | |

I am so sorry! But you have great memories, right?
Best of luck to you!  | |

Look at it this way no matter how "good" or "bad" a relationship is we learn from it and it helps us grow. I know it hurts sometimes we fall harder then we think is possible, but you will overcome it.
I have one question did he invite you to join him or did he want his "space"? If it's his space then unfortunately as the book says "he's just not that into you" and you need to move on.
Best of luck...today...tomorrow...and always | |

Posted: 8/29/2008 8:11:27 PM | Oh, I'm OK...or will be OK, but I'm afraid a cat wouldn't work for my Dobies--they'd think "squirrel"!
We did have some great times, but I didn't always have time for the boat...perhaps it was a reason, perhaps not. I've been trying to start my own business and maybe I wasn't so much fun anymore. All I know is I need to take care of me as I've always done.
Thanks for your concerns and letting me talk. I do know that all happens for a reason, just wish I had gone slower instead of letting him carry me away with his dreams, ya know? | |

Posted: 8/29/2008 8:20:19 PM | Look at you! You're so cute! Just go for it and enjoy...stuff like this doesn't happen every day. Enjoy the moment because that's all we really have anyway! | |

So what's the problem? I have always been a slightly eccentric, independent woman, and now I'm acting like a love-struck teenager and can't get him off my mind. I'm having trouble sleeping and am not getting much work done around the house. I've done the best I could, limited the dates, kept it as platonic as I can, (and it IS hard) but here I am...I feel it's way too soon to be having feelings like this, it wasn't in my plan!
You're in love. You either have to go with it, or walk away from it.
My last LTR became scared to death when she started having those feelings, she tried to shut them off, and the relationship was never the same after that. | |

Posted: 8/30/2008 9:27:13 AM | | why hasnt he taken you with him on his boat? it sounds to me babe. that he might have reservations about you. which is only natural really, seeing as he has just come from a(ltr). i would say, he likes you and has feelings for you too. maybe he is just scared of losing someone again who he loves. i think you need to have a heart to heart with him babe. maybe reassure him that the same wont happen. i hope thats been some help to you, and i wish you luck. | |
