Hey everyone,
She messaged me back in the morning and thanked me for the message. She said she is a very slow mover so she couldn’t really say if she was as serious as me. She wanted to get together some more and see how things went. Then asked what the boys and I were doing?
I told her that I don’t want to pressure her, and that it’s good that she doesn’t want to rush, because I don’t want to rush either. Also, I mentioned that we both have children, and that it’s best if we are careful about who we bring into their lives.
WZ mentioned the about baggage. I don’t know how comfortable this means she is with me, but she told me a lot about how her engagement ( She told me she was together five years and was supposed to be married) broke up. It was too the point where I figured out a way to change the subject. She came off kind of aloof about it but I think she was hurt by how she was treated. I didn’t say much about mine. I was with my ex 19 years, and it was a painful raw experience that I didn’t want to relive for her.
Also, maybe I show that I am really interested in a woman. That is something I will tone down, because I have a tendency to put my whole heart into a relationship. The other person knows that I am theirs, and they know that there is no one but them that I want.
I know all these experiences are new again, and I definitely need to slow down and breath. Sometimes, it’s a little difficult when it feels so right for you. This woman is nothing like my ex-wife. She is like the person I should have meet many years ago.
I am just going to relax about the situation right now, don’t overthink it, and see how it plays out. She is attracted to me and we had a good time together. If I’m uptight, nothing will grow from it.
