awkword- 1.Causing difficulty; hard to do or deal with: "one of the most awkward jobs is painting a ceiling"; "some awkward questions".

what are some of the signs that he may be interest in me? I don't know how to proceed.

All was going well until this freaking little kid saw me and started pointing and screaming his lungs out.

I can only imagine that they would of called in the FBI if I had tried to cross state lines with that baby pig!

Oh come on now when they said to NEVER come back they surely only meant ljust ast year right? (wink)

Should I perhaps wear a disguise when entering the petting zoo this year(just in case) ?

He did say that I can go walking with him and his BFF (who is a woman) anytime.

Msg 1:
Long story but if I was to have access it would end up being detrimental to me and my other two children due to my ex-partners self confessed "issues", eg..commitment phobia, psychological bullying, manipulation etc.

Msg 37:
this guy came here asking for help and opinions, not baseless judgement. you should all be ashamed of yourselves.

Msg 25:
I have an even lower opinion of people who say their ex is so unstable that they can't be around them but leave a helpless infant with them to raise alone.

she was gonna donate the table

I just feel strange... kinda honored she would give me something that nice.
I think WOW........
yet I feel a little bad maybe?

What is wrong with me?

Do you think its time to give Fish a rest and go out in to the real world to find love?

My response rate is near zero, with the occasional pointless response answering my question by saying "no"

find this is one of the hardest things to get my mind around, feeling like you never meant anything to someone. Maybe you do mean more to her than you think, and this is just her way of letting you go without hurting herself too much over it.

Borderline and narcissistic personality disorder is a largely misunderstood condition, defined as “a pervasive pattern of instability of interpersonal relationships, self-image and marked impulsivity,” and can affect family members just as much as the diagnosed individuals.

Any peripheral comments I made about this woman personally were merely to make a point about what I thought her true intentions were.

"Are you sure it's real?"

Ultimately, we may find ways to "cope." We might decide that being alone is preferable to being with others. We may find our own company though lonely...safer than what we had experienced before. We think - If we don't risk then we can keep others from hurting us. If we can build walls around our hearts, around our bodies then we can cocoon and find solace within the quiet peace of ourselves. We want a soulful existence but the FEAR is strong, the vulnerability just too much and so...we go inward.

iv not cheated on my partner i do need to change my profile granted

Anyway, I'm hoping that this isn't overly wordy or boring. :) Thoughts?

I just checked out your profile and it seems you are in your 50's and probably have been in abusive relationships in the past and stayed due to some amount of codependency on your part.The way you have reacted is no less dysfucntional than he has.Not saying you are totally messed up,but in reality,your reasoning is scewed thanks to your own relationship history and low self esteem
.I suggest getting some professional help for yourself ASAP.

Talk about total blameshifting Iona bob

Have some compassion and stop making him out to be some sort of victim in this.
He knows he's exploiting and manipulating her!How about he OWN that!

He did get the seriousness of needing to get a job.

there have been a couple of smallish things bothering me all along, and one very big one--he's not trying very hard to look for a job.

He's talked about suicide and I don't ever want to be the cause of that

MSG 18: I had a hysterectomy.. so, yeah, no sex. Which he knew before our first date.

MSG 47: I didn't necessarily lie about my surgery. Yes, I could have had it and told him that.

so judging from all the replies the majority think i should just forget about it and move on ( like its that easy !)

maybe he was just as shocked as me that he actually liked me, thus backing off?

I met him again, and again he asked me to stay the night. (Please note that I made him aware that I was recovering from surgery and sex was not possible

What's a woman to do?

What is it that you KNOW you can do in two months to improve yourself and likely make new friends by the Holidays 2012?

That is the problem tho, he did call and we did spend an amazing evening together. A few days later I sent him an e-mail on a subject which he is very interested in. I did mention that I had the e-mail and that I would send it, and still nothing.

Really Bob?? Jeez, who pissed in your cornflakes this morning...

OP: Oddly enough I have the same thing going on. I met a guy online 4 years ago and we have been friends ever since. We always talk about meeting (he is from NY and I from DC)

I was just wondering if anyone else would go have the diamond checked, or just be happy with what you got? I think it would be so tacky to have it checked, but that's just me.

I just cant seem to disconnect myself from him.

Is the center also for cross dressers?
