Breakfast. Whizz over to my folks to help with the decorating. Shopping, then paperwork, housework and catching up on e-mails. Not all that exciting thus far but finished off with a long conversation about when my fella's relocation is happening and getting a place together! And now.... had to cry off a meet with a girlfriend, nothing but crap on the TV, so here I am!
I have dated guys the same height as me or a smidge taller, but I doubt I would date a fella shorter than me, no. That said, I am sure if I fell for the man, I could overlook something as insignificant as height.... minor issue!
Mind you, at 6ft 6 ins I have to keep asking my fella to sit down as I have developed a permanent crick in my neck...!!
My fella and I were talking about this very subject earlier this evening. He gave me a male perspective (although it does depend on individual personality, of course). Some men lack the confidence for reasons you mention, choosing to avoid the possibility of rejection rather than try. I have, many times, had male friends confirm this.
My view is, based on that, one would be making assumptions about rejection, surely? The bottom line is that faint heart never won fair maiden, my friend. What's the worst that can happen? Nobody has ever actually died from embarrassment and chances are she may feel the same way?
Missing what might be a wonderful opportunity is one thing, but..... of your own volition?! We have so few chances in life and ALMOST never a second chance....
I am so sorry to hear that its not working out as you'd clearly hoped, love.
You can't help the way you feel but, equally, you can't force it either. I agree with most of the posts here.
One thing that I would be mindful of, though, is his continuing to send you flowers, etc. Sounds like he is happy to keep stringing you along and that can only serve as a huge ego-boost for him, surely?!
I would be inclined to sever further contact. If you feel it hurts you to still see him here, perhaps take a break for a while and when you feel more healed, come back stronger and start afresh?
This is a site for adults. I am sure we all realise that there is nothing wrong with keeping one's options open.
Its all about intent, surely? If you are inter-acting with/dating several people there is nothing wrong with making that clear, is there?
Its when you are involved with several people and to any number of them you give them the understanding that they are the only one you are seeing and that a more meaningful relationship may be on the cards that you get into the realms of becoming a "Player"?! Its deceitful and intending to eventually cause hurt.
I know.... I just like to complicate things! Though, to be frank, there are some that I feel would have difficulty with it. Mind you, all credit to them for their attempts....?!
