Hello Everyone!
My computer has been broken for over 2 weeks and I was not able to log in under my original account...so I had to create a new one.
I have also been in a weird place. I had been stressed and worried that once hockey season was over...I would not hear from my ex. Well...I still heard from him and I was just getting more and more frustrated because I felt like I was sinking further into the unknown...and nothing was being mentioned about getting together and they my head just went into weird places...I just needed to know. So I just took matters into my own hands.
The following readers told me that come June the converstaion would pick up and that towards the end of June we would have talked things over and things will pick up between come mid July and we would be working slowly towards a relationship.
They also all said that he seems to be struggling with something deep inside...struggling with eveyday stuff...career...direction...next steps...etc. The stresses were not about me or another individual.
To be completely honest with you all...when I decided to take matters into my own hands...nothing that these readers (or others) played a factor into my thoughts or feelings until the day after I saw him.
Even though I was so nervous that once the hockey season was officially over...I would be too...I will say that the conversations were picking up and there was definitely some flirting (confirmed this with some of my friends) and he even sent me a picture :-) The bike ride was mentioned...but nothing was set in stone or came about because of the weather...so far I was feeling very good and very positive about things and I was trying my best to stay in that positive state of mind...but frustration was working its way in because I finally got to a point that I was ready to ask him where this is going and I was ready to hear the answer.
I asked him again if he wanted to get together and he agreed and we met for dinner last Sunday. It was so good to see him. He looked so handsome and sexy and I must say that I looked cute as well
He greeted me with a hug and kiss on the cheek and he just kept complimenting me. The conversation flowed nicely through dinner. He told me a little of what's been going on. He said that turning 40 was really hard for him..etc.
After dinner we walked out to our cars and he just leaned on the car and we continued talking. He just kept staring at me...in a really nice way....not the way that friends stare at each other. So I took this opportunity to ask some questions. We talked about why he originally reached out to me in November...we talked briefly about the breakup...and we talked about what was going on with him now.
It went back to turning 40 and how he is stressing and struggling with what's his next step...where is he going... his job and how it is not what he wants to do but doesn’t know what else he can do other than his art and he would love to make a living off of his art…but he knows that’s not possible…etc…so where to go from here with work and etc.
He seems to be struggling with decisions on direction in regards to work and just every day stuff (just as they said). I just listened to him and he just sounds like he is just being really hard on himself. He said he just felt disconnected…like he doesn’t feel anchored…but he is a happy person…just not happy where he is at this moment in his life and would be happier if he knew what direction things were going to move in.
I asked him what his intentions were with me and he just stared at me in silence and said that he hasn’t dated in over a year and doesn’t put himself out there or try. That he hasn’t been into it in the last couple of years. (It made me feel better that there isn’t anyone else
)
So I took yet another chance…and told him that I thought this was our second chance. I thought that maybe he wanted to try again. That I am in no position to jump into a relationship, but that I would have like to take things extremely slow to see where it could go. He just stared at me in silence and said “we don’t know what the future holds.” And we just stared at each other.
I asked what now….cause when I saw him last in January he disappeared and I heard from him sporadically and he said that we would still see each other and talk.
He kept apologizing for disappointing me. He was thrown off and he was also taken back by some things that I said about the breakup etc. He knew he hurt me…but he wasn’t aware how…he didn’t remember. He kept saying that he was sorry…and that I was always so good to him and so sweet and so nice and I didn’t deserve that…I deserved better.
We both spoke so nicely about things and I was so proud of myself for not breaking down in anyway. I stayed strong and positive and cracked jokes where needed.
I told him that when I see him I just want to hug him and kiss him but I don’t feel like I am allowed to…and he just stared at me in silence.
He told me that he was thinking of canceling on dinner…I asked why…and he just kept saying he didn’t know. I asked why he came…and he said because he really wanted to see me.
He gave me a kiss on my cheek good bye and hugged me and wouldn’t let me go.
He asked me If he shouldn’t contact me anymore and I told him I don’t know how to answer that question because I still feel something here and I just need to be all him. That I can’t be the one to reach out. I get so happy when I hear from him and sad when I don’t.
He hugged me again and apologized for being such a mess.
I drove away and all I kept thinking was that I will never see him or hear from him again. I cried for 3 days. I feel a little more at peace with myself and I don’t feel tortured….but I thought this was going to have a better ending.
I still don’t know what his intentions were/are with me. I still don’t know if he feels something for me other than friendship.
The readers were correct in regards to struggles…but I just don’t see them being correct about the big picture….which then lead me to call some of them to tell them they were wrong which just made me more confused and aggravated.
