So I dated this woman about 8 months ago. (Shortly before the horrible ex-roomate/girlfriend thang). She was intelligent, attractive, had quite a few interests in common with me. I loved spending time with her.
The problem was two fold.
1. She and I had a hard time scheduling time with each other due to my job and her job. Add into that she was not allowed to come over to my place because my roomate was her boss (and I later found out that the roomate had a thing for me and was jealous).
2. Until she had dated me she had not dated anyone else for seven years. He reasons for this were because she did not want her son to be come attached to a man who may or may not be around for a long time. So she stayed single. This was a hell of a lot of pressure for me. I was afraid that I would hurt her and possible her son if I did not or was not able to stick around.
So I broke things off with her and we have become pretty good friends. Still have trouble getting together but we talk every day or every other day.
Now we are in the process of getting a house together and living together as roomates for a time. I am starting to get the impression that she still has feelings for me beyond friendship.
The more I think about and analyze our conversations and how she behaves around me the more I see this trend.
She keeps telling me how excited she is about moving into this house with me and so on.
I started thinking today about her as being more then a roomate and a friend. And to be honest I think that we would make a great match.
BUT.............
I have been down this road before. Started dating a roomate and it was a complete disaster every single time. (Yes it happens alot and I know I should have learned my lesson by now.)
I am torn....I have some very strong feelings about this woman but I am still so paranoid that I will end up hurting her and she will not date for another seven years LOL.
However the three of us went out to dinner last week. I had such a great time with her and her son and it actually felt like we were family. And to be quite honest that is a new feeling for me.
I have dated women with kids before but I always felt like an outsider with the kids. With her son I feel like he accepts me as more then just some guy. (He is also really excited about the move he asks his mom every day..."Are we moving today!")
S000000 my loyal readers...what is a reformed man whore to do? Opinions and Advice would be fantastic because I am at a loss.
