this is the new year.

i had a good new years. i think i brought in 2012 right. i did things that are so unlike my character. why not be outside of my comfort zone? we're all dying in 2012 according to the myans anyway, right? 

i spend my new years eve with a guy. (!!) i did. i'm sure some of my readers have their mouths open right now. i know, i know. it was fun while it lasted. it was nice to have the attention of a male. then i came home to my thoughts.

while i know there are no "titles" and there are certain gray areas with the situation with this guy, i still feel confused as to where it is going. him: single dad, 5 months out of relationship with child's mom, no job but just finished school and searching, knowingly says he doesn't want a relationship. my first reaction is to run far away. the ... "this happened, it was fun.. but it was nice knowing you" .. idea. but we were friends first. so, the situation is hairy. 

i want to cut him off. but i like the attention. i want a plan of action. but i'm not sure what that plan should be. there weren't any emotions involved.. and i'd be lying if i said it didn't bother me. i'm a girl, after all. i like feeling wanted.. and being told compliments. reassurance. i made an effort to dress up and wanted a little more verbally. and there was a text from a girl so i know i'm not the only one. i'm not mad about it; just having an internal battle with my heart and my head.

thoughts?

  1. Hiya, I think you should do what makes you happy, if you want to hang out with this guy go right ahead but just remember that he doesn't want a relationship right now. There is always that possibility of getting hurt but thats how we all live and learn.

  2. Alright, I stumbled across a comment that you posted over at Ms Single Mom and you mentioned that Atlanta was your son's favorite place... it grabbed me because I live about 2 hours away from Atlanta. :) It's always cool to find others that are in my general area. But to comment on this... I'm dealing with the same situation. I met a guy on POF.com... nice guy but very... complicated. A lot of fun to hang out with, we've seen each other about 5 times in the last 5 or so months but we text almost daily. I've told myself to leave him alone but then again, I'm not committed to anyone and it feels nice to have a little attention. He's the same way as New Years guy though, not much of a compliment giver and I know he talks to other females. But yea, it's hard to walk away from the attention.
