I met a guy a few weeks ago. The first date was amazing. He walked me to my car like a gentleman. I liked that. He really liked me, too, and asked me out for the following week. All was good. Or so I thought…. On our second date, we had a steak dinner at a lovely restaurant in my neighborhood.
I liked that he was willing to drive a half-hour to me for the first two dates. Those are not men I want to date. Our conversation flowed, and he especially intrigued me with stories about his wild teenage years. That made me like him even more. I love a man with good character AND an edge. A rare finding, or so I thought…. The kiss was sweet, soft, and just right. No sexual advances past that one kiss.
Which weekdays are you free? The week went by with no word from him. Another week passed. Cue the crickets. WTF x 2? It took everything in my power NOT to contact him. But, I know that men sometimes need a week or two to begin to miss a woman. And I was willing to wait for this man. With all that free time to think, I began ruminating about what could be wrong. I consider myself to be highly intuitive. I can tell when a guy is sweet-talking me. And he seemed to be the real deal, honestly as into me as I was into him.
What could have happened? Years ago, before I did the internal work to value myself and define my boundaries, I would have been devastated. It actually made men run for the hills. I figured he must be busy, and I wanted to be proactive. So, I did something completely out of my comfort zone.
