Hi Jenna,
I don’t really think that is fair to say. Sure I showed interest in the woman that I told I didn’t want to be around, but I was never misleading her. She knew I didn’t want to rush and I wasn’t acting like I was gaga over her. If the other woman showed that level of interest, I don’t know what I would think. That didn’t happen so I will never know.
I don’t think I do too well when someone comes on too strong with me. I knew it wasn’t right with the second woman. I don’t know if the first woman was playing the game of love, as you put it. She told me from the beginning that she was a very slow mover when it came to relationships. Maybe I didn’t pay close enough attention to that. Also, she came from a similar place as me with a cheating partner. Maybe she was afraid of getting hurt again?
We were both in different places and she didn’t want a relationship with me. I’ll never know exactly what went on in her head and I won’t dwell on it either. When it comes down to it, I couldn’t help but develop feelings for her. She was something I would have loved to get to know better, but it’s done, and I am moving on from it.
