Hello Tee πŸ™‚

I’m really glad that you are still here. Thank you for taking time to answer my questions in more depth. I’m really grateful for you being there for me🌷

I do not want to go on and on about him and how to make him emotionally available. You gave me the beautiful foundation of how to navigate the early stages of the meeting (especially after divorce).

To summ up, next time he contacts me I will only accept meeting him in public (no going to his place for at least 2 more dates outside). I will find an excuse that the evening I’m busy and only day time works for now. If he doesn’t accept, I will say that I won’t be coming to his place. And that I can wait when he is ready for a more romantic relationship. We can stay friends for the moment being.

Actually, he doesn’t text me, only before the meeting so that might also be a sign that he doesn’t want to bond emotionally.

One of my friends came up with a new idea for dating. I’m curious what is your take on that. She advised not to be boyfriend/girlfriend until engagement. Basically we are connecting as friends, maybe kiss and hug (no sex with men). I can meet with more than 1 person and get to know without giving the benefits of a relationship. That’s her way to get married sooner than later.

I’m curious, Tee, what is your opinion on that? Is it a good way and more effective than being boyfriend/girlfriend first? I would like to get married and not stuck in a relationship forever.

Looking forward to your message.

Have a blessed day!

Warm greetings πŸ€—πŸ’–
