The last couple of weeks....

[pope1982]

I will be the first to admit, it has been a long time since I have been a single girl, but with my experience I have gained a wisdom through observation and conversation with my best friend over the years. I am by no means an expert!

I think what is happening here, is he is picking up on your intense feelings and you are scaring him. Not sure what his exact triggers, or the situation or either one of your personality irl in all honesty, but men are strange creatures.
You are going to have to try double time to tone down the looks, talk, whatever it may be that makes him feel like you are clinging, thus making him push away.

I say, let him go. Enjoy being the single girl you set out to be. If you still feel something once reunited afterwards, you have all the time in the world to continue getting to know one another.
Enjoy being friends, don't push for painful situations (the cuddling, inches from each others faces) if he wants to, but says he thinks it is a bad idea, say something goofy like "You are probably right, plus I need to brush my teeth anyway" to break the tension. Keep it light and casual, make him keep coming back wanting more. They love witty/goofy women who are smart with a sense of values they stick to.

It works the same way as how mysterious, play it cool type of men drive women wild. Good luck.

When we had our talk about it, he said what scared him was that HE had feelings. He was scared to get so far in so fast and he thought maybe the feelings would stop someday and we'd get hurt.... and I was like man it's okay we can slow down. No problem. I'm not ready to say I have a boyfriend yet and we're not dating, just seeing each other for now. There shouldn't be any pressure. But I absolutely did give him space when we were stepping back from it all... he made all the first moves for everything, other than the last night when I invited him in, and he said "I'd love to"
I am enjoying my single time too... in New York I found the hottest black guy I've seen in my life, and I danced with him, and then I kissed him a little And then I was like "I'm from Canada, bye" and I left... just like old Lindsey! And then I got our cute waiter's number, and I've actually added him to my facebook. We had fun flirting all night and he let us stay at the club until after close. And I had an absolute blast just hanging out with the girls for the whole week. But I always had Scott in the back of my mind, and it felt good to be back in his arms when I got home.
I was planning on not talking to him for this whole weekend snowboarding with his buddies, but he started texting me tonight, and so I replied of course... and he can't wait to get home to see me again.
I was worried this morning, but I'm not anymore. I just feel content. I know I can be single, and I can be happy being single... But I just feel so connected to him and I want to see where it goes.

Do you ever sleep?

It sounds like a relationship is starting. He may drive you crazy for a while because he is afraid of being hurt. I think Pope said it all, very well. Play it very cool. (or not!)

Love ya,
Judy

Sleep is for the weak
He has been thinking about me the whole weekend he's been away. I thought this would be the chance for him to have his alone time and think either "I want to do this" or "I want out of this" and all signs are pointing to "I want to do this" I have been getting texts whenever he's not snowboarding. Last night we talked for awhile, and then he was going out to a bar with his friends and I was going to just sit at home and enjoy a night alone. I accidently fell asleep on the couch and woke up to a text at 2 am... "I really wish we could cuddle right now, I'm cold.... sorry for the late text" I was like awwwwww! I got up and went to bed and we texted a few more times before saying goodnight. He is going to be back really late tomorrow night, around 1 am. We will see each other anyway because we will both be leaving town on Tuesday for Christmas. I don't know when I'll be back but he won't be back until January 4th.
I really like this guy. I get butterflies everytime we touch! We can talk for hours, and I can be myself with him.

lol I know I know I know... just hopefully it'll be another 5 to 10 years before I have to deal with that! I can work a 16 hour day and then go home with a guy and talk all night... not so sure I'd like a 16 hour day followed by a screaming baby though lol!
