Quote From: dee0123 I don't lose sleep over this..and maybe, I do overthink things..something, I'm trying to work on...I'm usually pretty good, and take things as they come..just, I'm more careful now..because, of certain things that happen recently...no one wants to get hurt..So, saying this..As a guy, you do feel I have the right or I should, tell him...about his weekends?? I feel funny about that..because, it almost feels like none of my business...I don't really have much experience in this area, as I've had mostly long term relationships..didn't do dating with this one and that one..
Hope I remember all what you posted..I don't know how to do that cut & paste thing..But, at my age, I feel one does have to protect their hearts more..See those 'red' flags sooner...which I think I have (for me) but, it doesn't mean he's not a good person...
I just wanted to put this out there, for anyone that could give me their opinions..We had 3 dates..talked for about 2 mos..he's trying to get into a new law firm, and that takes time...and he gets busy with his interests it seems..and I think that's great, but I think it almost makes it impossible to start up a 'new' relationship..and I wish MEN would not do that..start something, that they SHOULD KNOW they are NOT prepared for..financially, career wise (if they are busy 24/7) then, don't even go there..
I think this is what happen..he was with this woman for 16 yrs..(friends only) she was separated by NOT divorce, nor ever will according to her..they became intimate in Oct..and SHE told him to date others..because, he would like to get married one day..so, he then said he's a FREE MAN..and yet, I guess he made this plans before he ask me out..but, then why doesn't he just tell me? That it's with this woman?? it's NO BIG deal...I told him that after our first date, I had previously made plans with someone to take a vacaton together...like, 2 mos. before..but, I told him..I text him and sent a picture while on this trip...and told him he's a friend...he lives in a different Country..and we are JUST FRIENDS and NOTHING happen..because, that was the truth..and I felt it was the right thing to do..to NOT have secrets..
But, then I get this feeling (and I could be wrong) as I said in my previous post..that when a man (in this country) goes away for a whole weekend..and goes to a OPERA not the movies..but, a OPERA not too many men like that..I figured, it's with her..and I wonder..did they share the same room? did they sleep together? because, he doesn't tell me anything..I didn't want to ask..I would of thought, he would just tell me..NOTHING TO HIDE, but in this case..it does seem like something IS TO BE HIDDEN..
I just feel I need to know the truth..so, I can make my plans accordingly..HE said he's calling me tonight..but, I just don't feel comfortable with waiting..because, he seems to always do that..he tells me "I will call you.....at this time"...and saying can I call you at this time?? will you be there??
Plus, and please don't think badly of me..but, I was thinking..that IF men play these games..I'm going along with it..I mean, just this once..I'm going to suggest going out during the week...I will meet him somewhere..I will wear my sexiest dress or clothes..(and drive him nuts LOL) and see his reaction..make him think, IF not telling me about this past weekend was worth it..espeically, IF he had sex with her..I'm tired of men playing THEIR games, with me..and leaving me feeling bad..it's time, they get a dose of their own medicine.. LOL..
I somewhat would love to get even...in a playful way...like, SEE this is what you gave up..to be with another woman...and I was wasn't worth the wait??????? Excuse, me IF I repeat..but, our 3rd date was last Tues..before, his weekend away..(this weekend) he started getting a little more romantic with me in the movies..he held my hand, and carassed it..stroking my arm and shoulders..then, pulled my hair away from my face..he was sweet and respectful! then, I kissed him good night..so, I think we got a little closer..and he said things to me..about being a couple..and that HE LIKED ME A LOT..but, after that..IF he slept with another woman OR that woman..it's over for me..I"m I wrong??
Thank You,
Dee
What long post? have you read any of mine? :-P I just have a busy schedual at the moment that's all... can't really make sense if I'm really tired...
Well you say that his career takes up a lot of time now, I know that that might feel unjust to you that he displays his interest while he doesn't have the time. But love happens to men so a man won't think if it is the right thing at that moment but he just want's to get to know a beautifull woman he sees. Instinct can be very strong at times.
Well then you say you didn't ask him about the weekends. Why don't you? Men often aren't that thoughtfull and see that it seems as if they are hiding something. He might just feel that the trip was to boring to discuss. And yess not many men are into opera but there are some who are into it and not all are gay as the stereotype suggests.
How did the call go btw?
And I don't think that playing games is the best way of dating but he probably won't mind you driving him nuts though... (I know that was just a fantasy of you though sorry I hooked in so seriously)
Still I think that you should let him fill in the blanks in steads of you it makes things a lot easier for the both of you. (if he still avoids answering you can always draw conclusions from that...)
