Dear Tee,
How are you?
Thank you for your hopeful reply.
Unfortunately, I’ve red your comment too late 🙂 he texted me first & invited me over to spend some time together. He was very tired after work and wanted relax at home. I took a risk. He picked me up from my place. We talked, we watched some TV. Then he tried to make a move to have it all. But I explained that I want more than sex and it is too fast. So we kissed, hold hands, etc. but not sex. Now he is saying that he will ask me out in public as well (walk or yoga together for starters). He is not a traditional type like me. Being just friends is not enough as there is too much attraction between us but also he is not ready to offer too much emotionally. It feels like he had a very good sex life with his wife and now misses it. I do not want to compete with her. Actually, he married her after 9 years of relationship and having a son. He slept with his wife 3 months ago before finalising the divorce papers.
I know for sure that I won’t accept another invite to his home without going out first. Also, I think it is better to not contact him first and wait.
Tee, I’d like to ask you to advice me what would you do next? Shall I tell him that I do not want to have any intimate activities without a relationship? At the same time, I don’t want to scare him away with my demands too soon. What is the best timing to say it and how to say it?
What other question shall I ask to bring him closer emotionally?
Looking forward to your message Tee.
Warm greetings 🌼
Dafne
